AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

I was very excited to vote for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social and equally excited to use the VAT (voter assist terminal) to cast my ballot because my thoracic outlet syndrome is flared up. You do NOT need to have a visible disability or have a disability AT ALL to use a VAT. #voteraccessibility

on a personal note, i am just so sick of this shit. prioritizing nebulous feeling of discomfort over elevating the voices of people explicitly advocating for the freedom and safety of palestinians is sick. it makes those voices *less* safe and it doesn't make jews safer. i am begging people to stop.

Analysis of U.S. deaths of pregnant and postpartum women from 2018–2023 indicates that obstetrical complications and disease are no longer the leading causes of maternal death, replaced by homicide, suicide, and overdose. Read the full analysis: nej.md/4a96wPp #MedSky #Psychiatry #OBGYN
"Homicide, suicide, and drug overdose accounted for more than one fourth of maternal deaths (2018 of the total of 7901) from 2018 through 2023; deaths from these causes nearly equaled the combined toll of cardiovascular disease, infection, hypertension, and hemorrhage." 

Correspondence 
"Overdose, Homicide, and Suicide as Causes of Maternal Death in the United States" by H.A. Azad et al. 

Leading Causes of Death among Pregnant and Postpartum Women in the United States, 2018–2023. 

Shown is the number of deaths per 100,000 live births according to cause of death among women who were pregnant or no more than 42 days post partum. Violence includes homicide and suicide by any means. Deaths in which the underlying cause was not specified are not included. AFE denotes amniotic fluid embolism, and Covid-19 coronavirus disease 2019.

We should be applauding people who break rules to stop what's happening. Failing to break rules is what's worthy of critique right now. That's the stuff people should have an explanation for — and I know, some do, and that's fine, but the absolute moral minimum is supporting those who resist.
