We have to stop being such Debbie downers with our think pieces. Honestly. 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Yuuuuuuuuuup you see this in play even right on this app! Think about the way this shapes both the way you interact with others and how others interact with you. I appreciate deeply Marisa’s commitment to self-implication. We are not exempt from replicating the systems we exist under!

Some of y’all think everything ain’t about race but it is all about gender identity and I’m sorry to say it’s all about both baby

Oh this is exciting and backed by a murderer’s row of atproto knowers. Makes perfect sense for science to be embracing the protocol like this.

To be clear, it hi k more Americans need to get back to being weird about Xi Jinping & the CCP. Not about regular degular Chinese people.

People constantly talk about "cheap Chinese AI models" but other than the latest MiMo no Chinese models are on the Pareto frontier- you get better results cheaper by using US models at lower efforts. Qwen in particular is so token hungry that 3.8 Max is *more expensive than Fable* for worse output!

Intentional weight loss is not uniformly good. Most people will have to take this drug for the rest of their lives. People are being pushed to take these drugs even when all of their metabolic indicators are excellent, which is very common in fat people.

Leaving aside Anthropic's incentives for publishing this research, there is no doubt that open weights models will soon create the same security threats that closed source models have been demonstrating, except without guardrails. We are close, so plan accordingly. www.anthropic.com/research/glm...

I think we should all chill out about all of this when it comes to art. Why do I say this, as someone who is a published artist in music, visual art, and poetry? Because shit made by humans straight up hits differently. And some folks will like that better!

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 30/09/2026

I know how to do all those. I also don’t wish to do all of those. I won’t forget how to do them.

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 30/09/2026

Yes, the problem is capitalism, as many of us have been saying for years. So why don’t you get all excited and energized about fixing that with us?

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 30/09/2026

Been saying this exact thing for, like, three years! It really is so true.

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 30/09/2026

I think a lot of people are being absolute dumbasses about the soft power they’re willing to allow China to have by uncritically engaging with Chinese open-weight models and pretending that their existence has nothing to do with Xi’s goal of becoming world dictator

It’s pretty hilarious to me that people seem to think that the specific blend of racism & sexism Black women face (aka misogynoir) no longer applies if one has a large follower count & therefore they can simply behave any way they want to those Black women without having their actions called out.

This part! “Verification is *vastly* faster than discovery.” There are many, many arenas where infinite possibilities aren’t neecessary for good or even the *best* outcomes. If an LLM doesn’t initially discover *everything* or come up with novel options *immediately* (it can!), that’s fine!

I think 70% is a good number. It allows you to be confidently smug in private, but it makes random arguments risky. It makes failing gracefully a virtue. It makes room for friends to disagree and remain friends.

Unless you’re making a really good dad joke or saying something incredibly thoughtful to genuine, posting shouldn’t feel good. If it does, you’re probably being mean.

120

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

This is often true, but it’s not for the particular Black woman you’re likely talking about today.

032

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

If you don’t take five seconds to look at how many followers someone has and whether they tend to use quote posts to engage in conversation or critique of others. I don’t think you can simply act like you’re the victim when they quote post you.

120

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

Again, I think this is an incredibly niche view, and while I don’t disagree with it, and in fact generally support it, your number of followers does not change the impact of thousands people without expertise in your field telling you that you’re stupid and don’t know what you’re talking about

Guess who get misgendered so much that you find examples all over literature and scientific studies? Black women.

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

Also, software developers HAVE to stop thinking they know more than people with terminal degrees and DECADES of expertise in their fields. Y’all look so silly.

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

You all should stop trying to have serious conversations with people on this platform, especially when you’re trying to change their minds. Shortform feed-fed text-based social media is the WORST format for trying to have any nuanced conversation and we all know it. Consider why you keep trying.

040

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

I think this is an incredibly niche opinion and belief but I think it should be more mainstream.

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

Listen, there’s a whole lot I don’t agree with Tressie on. I also think she can be short and she doesn’t mince words. But to call her a bully or act like she doesn’t know what she’s talking about is so insulting to every single Black woman i know.

130

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

What’s wild is watching all these white trans people doing the same thing to Tressie they accuse Tressie of doing to trans people and being UNABLE to see the similarity.

030

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

No. Calling a Black woman a bully without providing any proof is what we in the biz like to call a little bit of racism. Or wait, are you just QTing her and talking about her behavior? Because these look quite similar to me.

010

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

Being Black AND trans is exhausting because on this website nobody believes you can ever be both at the same time. White trans people do not automatically get a pass for bad behavior. Neither do Black women. But some of y’all are only interested in the white people.

080

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

I don’t really care what anyone else thinks about what I have to say but the idea that Tressie McMilliam Cottom is out here quote tweeting trans women to dunk on them because they’re trans is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

Bryan (they/them) @chaosgreml.in · 29/09/2026

Why is everyone so obsessed with doing meaningless work for pay when we could be fighting for doing things that have meaning for each of us and never having to worry about money again?

Dr. Pink wants you to know that one of his seven PhDs is in cryptography & social systems. #chighdesertweenies

Dr. Pink, a tricolor (black, tan, and white) dachshund mix, stands on a quilted sofa cover atop a brown couch in a living room, with a black Anker power bank and a Tovala oven mitt on a table in the foreground. The background includes a patterned pillow, a custom-made lamp with multiple bulbs, a framed abstract painting, hanging plants, and a slatted screen near a door.

Please don’t backup your passkeys. A passkey isn't just a long password, it's a way of separating (re-)authentication from account recovery so we can reduce friction for the former.

There’s a reason the actually serious & thoughtful kink world has really strict rituals & practices around consent & power & making sure that those giving up power & in vulnerable positions have ironclad tools that are always respected inside that play space as a way to exit it immediately.
