I missed this study. From the screenshots below: "The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you,"

ICE is slamming far northern Illinois for a second day in a row. Rapid responders in Rockford say federal agents detained a group of roofing workers this morning—eight men all the way from Minnesota. Volunteers are currently trying to locate their families. From a local immigration attorney:

Sprayed plates like on this vehicle currently parked at the Radisson on Bell School Road in Rockford are illegal. FLOCK can't read ICE's sprayed plates but can read law-abiding drivers' plates.

Queer romance IS resistance. It is radical to imagine happiness, and community, and joy, when people are trying to kill you, erase you, oppress you, or deny you the right to live a full life in so many ways.

Maybe one of the most important messages that trans people can internalize is that there is no “true trans.” Transition is a *practical choice* we make based on what will best serve our lives. Transness is a social identity that emerges out of that context.

For those of you with day jobs where you're forced to use LLMs or be fired, good tip I gleaned this weekend, which is to tell the LLM to stop referring to itself using "I" pronouns and to eliminate the praise and other attempts to humanize itself. You get a much cleaner interaction w/o the marketing

on a bathroom counter, you see a bottle of soy lotion. there is a little post-it note on it with a hand-written scrawl that says “sí, tu eres lotion”. it is such a basic-ass, albeit bilingual, pun but it makes me laugh every fucking time I think about it.
