Yes, because it helps you avoid being a mark and to place accountability in people making these tools. Hope that helps.

I don't have many words about the ruling on trans sports. As a trans athlete it feels both very personal & very distant at the same time. The dagger for me are all the beautiful trans girls who are continually made the target of grown people and how they are being forced to hide from public life.

Imagine if even 1/10 of the money that has been wasted on AI was put towards things like education, the arts, food security, healthcare, student loans... We need innovation? If people could afford to live, imagine & create, the world would be full of innovation. All people need the chance to thrive.

Another day of scattered ICE sightings in Chicagoland as feds continue surveilling neighborhoods + courthouses. The day started with an early morning detention in Carol Stream. This afternoon, video from Waukegan of agents surrounding a lone child in a car is circulating (guardian presumed taken).

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Surprising (and refreshing!) to see this messaging from a University! Western University in London, Ontario is urging students to mask up if they’re unwell and show compassion to those who do mask. We need more of this. Covid is still here and a good respirator is an excellent preventative tool!
A screenshot of an IG post from western which reads Take care of your health, Mustangs!
Wear a Mask.
If you're feeling unwell, wear a mask and be respectful of others who choose to wear one.
Wash & Sanitize.
Wash your hands often, use hand sanitizer, and cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
Connect Virtually.
Feeling sick? Think of connecting virtually or by phone if possible.
Stay Home.
Rest and relax to help your recovery, and consider staying home if you feel sick.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
