yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

you know we used to have to do at least a little work to prove the connection between racism and transphobia

This is the natural end point of any pursuit designed to steal money/customers/clients away from a well-established extant source.

The WoW-killer of games distribution.

Wait til these anti-trans losers find out that language is also a social construct.

Constantly hearing how our students need to be experts in “gen AI” to compete on the job market, meanwhile the end goal of every executive is to hire absolutely no one, to pay absolutely no one else’s salary, just to let the little machine make something that they can still sell a subscription for

Maybe infinite content was a bad idea.

Stop this. Just… Stop it. Stop using "generative AI" for anything that might actually matter, and especially things that, if it gets them wrong, *Might Fucking Kill You.*

Why does this need to be said? Why is this not obvious??? Why is this not the default way of fucking operating?! What the FUCK.

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

“Some of us aren’t creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT!” Well then maybe you should sit this one out.

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression

a 2 panel meme. The top panel is an emoji style character grinning wickedly and rubbing his hands together, with the text "When the trail got marshy boardwalk". The bottom panel is a picture of a boardwalk trail going through some verdant marshlands

LLMs are nothing more than models of the distribution of the word forms in their training data, with weights modified by post-training to produce somewhat different distributions. Unless your use case requires a model of a distribution of word forms in text, indeed, they suck and aren't useful.

Grayscale cartoon art of a crow in a forest underneath a strange sky split into large eyes, with the caption - "oh FUCK" says the crowlet, as endless eyes fill the skies.

Under observation.

I know I haven't attended that class much but someone overwriting my exam timeslot for themselves hurts a bit.

Painting of a fox looking to its right, stood in front of a half-wall coming up to its legs. Behind it, a berry bush.

Naira - one of the Coraxi in Fractrure - looking tired. Softly lit, his brown fur fades into pale highlights against his nose and forehead; his purple mandibles gleam at the rim.

I was meant to study oopsies

them!!!

A landscape. Atop a mountain of light snow stands a nomadic figure. They're wearing a tan poncho, covering their torso; one gloved hand holds a walking stick made from antler and wood. Their face, though turned to the camera, is obscured by a cobalt blue faceplate - only a slit for their eyes in the form. Behind them, a range of mountains and a neutral sky. Their shadow reflects on the snow in deep purple.

but yet we do.

Bill Labov died this morning. I'm not coherent enough to talk about how important and influential and brilliant he was. I am very sad.

I was so lucky to know him, and I am grateful every day that he (and Gillian, and Walt, etc) built an academic field where kindness is expected.

you're braver than me I went to the basement and got spooked so bad

Phasmophobia on console is the best release ever. finally got to hear @glitchinghell.bsky.social scream for his life (and survive)

practising drawing by thinking about it really hard and not actually doing anything

lesbinewren: we need to make using chatgpt embarrassing bc sorry it really is. what do you mean you can't write an email lesbinewren: "ikr i only use it for-" whatever you use chatgpt for is also embarrassing. you do not need the plagiarism machine that lies and evaporates water for anything actually

For text gen it couldn't be more wrong. Exponentially more data and illogical results? No, just a couple years based on vibes to invent grammar and language while your brain is still developing and your mouth/hands aren't able to produce all the sounds/signs, no problem

ah no worries!
