The same way anytime an institution realizes it’s very white and very male and has a “pipeline problem” They know how to fix it. They find folks every three-six years with great ideas who can. What they don’t find are “fixes” that maintain the power inequity enough and the will for real change

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

What Actually Matters About AI Right Now
A war almost began, not because a machine wanted something or “went rogue,” but because a machine was wrong, and human beings believed it.

After my small experiment last week with "Ai Detectors," I have concluded that they are BULLSHIT. A paragraph that I wrote 100% on my own got between 0% to 25% AI detection using 4 different services. It's bullshit. If someone was using the 25% detection tool, then what?

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.
