hi, cis folks! this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers. they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both. tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

New way to discredit anyone you dislike (rich people only): Get some AI company to pollute their search with a false accusation like this. Or just fake a bunch of articles written with AI and post them on trash sites, and the rabid public, already delegating their thinking to AI, will devour it.

They take a look at Ubisoft's "formula" approach and believe that because Ubisoft isn't bankrupt yet, a formulaic approach to game dev with ever more proc-gen or straight up AI-gen content is actually a good thing, despite the ever increasing criticism.

Remember: when linking to things like YouTube videos, etc. to remove the part of the URL that starts at "?si=" as it is a tracker. There are others, articles usually have ones that start with "utm" for instance. Let's all safeguard what we can of our data privacy, especially now.

Meanwhile, even the absolute best (free access) AI-powered translator out there still needs me to correct it to make proper sense. To be fair, non-AI translation of English to German is absolute dogshit, but for someone that averages B1 level in German to need to correct it still...

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

I wrote this huge, 3,000-word or so deep dive into the state of game actors’ contracts in the UK, which is a hot mess of exploitation, AI clauses and chaotic rate calculations. And no one read it. But you really, REALLY should. www.gamesindustry.biz/contracts-fo...

Contracts for game actors are a nightmare in the UK

IQ tests tend to measure a set of "skills" that your brain may be naturally good at. I tested extremely high on pattern recognition, very high on one other metric, and slightly above average on everything else. When I was 6. Didn't graduate from college though, which tells you how much that means.

There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this:

A Tumblr post from user "nitewrighter," March 26.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

There is no congruent way to look at generative AI and think “this is the future.” The most well known fact about it is that it messes up all the time, the next being that it loses lots of money.

I already disliked their app format, because whenever I logged in I would be unable to find the stuff I'd entered the website for, but when they started being polluted by AI art it became worse. Leaning into it like this just makes that worse. I'm constantly amazed if I encounter a board WITHOUT AI.

Yet another reason why I'm not touching W11. My workplace seems to have a setup that's at least halfway sensible, but Windows explorer is still at least as bad as it was in W10, and I don't have the access needed to install Everything search there. Which is 100x faster than any native search.

For me it's having to turn off any sort of autocomplete effect in VScode because "intellisense" (aka stupid-shit) will forcefully autocorrect your input into something that doesn't actually work. In this case, trying to act like any function I'm writing in JS into a constructor function.

I'm already fed up just having to deal with Amazon's AI/powered automated systems for external sellers, which is part of my job now. Having to deal with ACTUAL AI? Hell, only reason I can use something like DeepL confidently is because I know enough German to understand what comes out the other end.

I've found including small author's notes talking about your experience writing the chapter at the end of chapters tends to make people more likely believe it's written by a person. An extra layer of human interaction. Ofc you can still take that with AI but people assume you're a person anyway.

Eh, I tend to give content creators and such whose living depends on user interactions a pass, since they rarely do anything more than post their stuff there, they don't interact with stuff, and they only really look at the numbers. That said, most creators I follow already have Bsky accounts.

This is basically the same nonsense they did in the UK. It does nothing but make government surveillance AND brainwashing of children easier. No matter what political opinions you have, the government having full say over what media your children consume is not a good thing.

Not to mention taking away 99% of the reasons for people to actually post on there. If regularly posting will no longer get you the impressions you want, why post regularly? They'll be starving for content in no time, and then it'll be turned into a circle-jerk of AI slop generating off of AI slop.

Nice recommendation. Personally, as a non-ace person learning about the concepts of asexuality and aromanticism, the comic Supernormal Step was my first insight. It doesn't have a direct focus on the identity, but from what I know the protag does actually act like an ace person all the way through.
