Ruddy hell. This is incredibly powerful - well worth watching in full. No other comments needed.

Huge props to @charlotte2153.bsky.social for speaking so honestly and directly. Just a awful thing to happen - and hugely impressive in using it to fight for others.

it's genuinely upsetting she feels obligated to reveal this to *do her job*

There's only one group where I'm just 'wow...you guys are just dumb as rocks'

Honestly, Luis Guzman should have been Mario.

'more details here' - there are MORE details?!

They didn't use up all the possible words on this verbose pos

Listen @zackpolanski.bsky.social , I want two things: more trams and to abolish the Home Office. Put these in the manifesto and I'll vote for you

I would vote for Thatchers reanimated corpse if it promised to nationalise buses

I'm fine with saying that. The level of unhinged in my replies/quotes suggests you're onto something

I try not to think the worst of people, but sometimes I'm very sure it's the ability to say things that make them feel like they are being very smart futurists - when they're actually repeating marketing they haven't interrogated.

The fact that many thoughtful criticisms of AI on this platform are generally met not with equally thoughtful counterarguments but rather with hyperbole, accusations of bias, and other ad hominem attacks suggests that some LLM users have become emotionally attached to AIs in ways they can't admit

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

UK should not back a war that boosts Vladimir Putin Rising energy prices inadvertently strengthen Russia and weaken incumbent European governments

'!f you want to create the conditions for a chaotic and unpredictable reordering of our party system, “the governing party is in office during a sharp price shock that the opposition loudly supported the causes of” feels like a pretty good way to do that.' 👏 @stephenkb.bsky.social

The violence of terfism is inevitable
