as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

Two years into a genocide and people are still asking others to condemn Hamas, demanding to know whether Israel as a right to exist, and denying the war crimes we've been watching as they livestream them.

If by now you question whether it's a genocide at all, you don't deserve to be a part of the conversation anymore.

stewart lee did a great article about understanding german humour and how heavily biased it is towards absurdism. "did you hear about the man with an orange for a head" is by far the best success I've ever had with a joke in germany

guy got mad at me for sharing this comic on twitter back in 2017, but it's still one of my favorite exchanges. (he was not kidding, btw.)
my own tweet explaining "so in this Spanish horror comic, Frankenstein's monster knocks out a woman, and I was REALLY worried, but he just wanted to try on her clothes" with screenshot of a guy named Ziv quote-tweeting me to say "This is horrendously disturbing. I am disturbed. Honestly, Priscilla, you need to back up and look at your life and think to yourself, 'Self, is this really the person I want to be?' Posting frankensteinian erotica and shit?'" with my reply "this is exactly the person I want to be" and the followup "actually it's Frankenstein's MONSTER'S Erotica"

We get these stunning images of the Black Panthers, but I was an adult before I learned about the free breakfast program. Or that the Young Lords were out there picking up trash and taking over Lincoln Hospital to push for better care and services.

I also think part of the problem is we're taught the telegenic shit but not how it's in service to larger political or economic gains. Like we don't really talk about how the Montgomery Bus Boycott was specifically about forcing the bus company to choose btwn integration or bankruptcy

I'm not talking about US politicians I'm talking about normal people. I see people fighting back and organizing every fucking day. ICE hasn't met their recruitment goals. They haven't met their kidnapping goals. That's WHY they keep escalating.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I know the world's on fire, but you can’t think about that every minute. Check out this YouTube channel. Macy tries out random jobs and documents what they involve, including the finances for some businesses. In this one she spends a day at United's flight attendant school. youtu.be/UpHJ8wF3v0k?...

It’s quite remarkable to see British political journos - an astoundingly thin-skinned bunch, if they are slighted by the wrong sort of person - just queueing up to be spoken to like they are dogshit on the shoes of one Israeli government politician or spokesperson after another, without complaint.

the hijack of cbs is a great impetus to fund indie media! but the parallel to twitter is instructive here bc after musk took it over *a lot of people stayed there,* cooking their brains in right-wing slop. and cbs' reputation among low-info normies is much better than twitter's ever was.
