Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H?
The jury is out.
Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.
Professional here wasn't referring to programmers... To be a professional you have to have the right ontological and epistemic approach to LLMs and it is that which is quite rare
It's generally been my opinion that the dudes complaining about "DEI" are signaling their work is not up to task, I've been winning awards the whole time they've been whining and sure, they will tell you it's because I'm "woke" or whatever, but that's the pathetic mewling of losers right there
I don't know, maybe all those non-"straight white dude" people won their awards because their books were actually really fucking good, how about that as a hypothesis
Holy shit.
Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.
"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."
This is getting out of control.
"Piker is bad because he's dumb"
Followed by
"setting aside the merits of what Piker said"
Is incredible. Why would we set the merits aside? I would think refutation would be a slam-dunk.
This.
Also, the "Hasan should just stuff it and be quiet until after the elections" is such anti-speech hogwash and it is infuriating to see from people who I thought would be better.
As much as I'm sick of the hit pieces on Hasan Piker, I'm equally sick of the 'reasonable' Dem hot take, "Yes, Hasan's a piece of shit but the hit pieces are a distraction."
He's actually a pretty great guy who's doing good things in the world, and his politics are better than yours, you dipshit.
I see bluesky largely seems to be in lockstep with Fox News on the anti-Hasan Piker talking points.
Really weird that otherwise ostensibly progressive folks completely miss or discard nuance or even just flatly reject the accuracy of what was said because they don't like Hasan for reasons.
Because as we all know, having hit the pipeline once, no one is ever allowed to ever do it again.
It's like EVE: the pipeline goes into reinforced mode for as long as the Saudis have strontium (I have no idea if that mechanic even still works that way in EVE).
I refuse to accept the Minister’s response, I refute the EHRC as a legitimate organisation and will continue acting in line with my 2023 statutory declaration.
I received this response from Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women & Equalities after reaching out to my MP.
It is a non-response, lying through her teeth and not responding to the functional points I made.
If you spend even one second scolding anyone who doesn’t want to vote for transphobic democrats instead telling those democrats to fix their shit then you’re just an asshole. You’re a stupid fucking bigot and your instinct to tell trans people how to feel is blaring like an air raid siren.
A question we could face ourselves: what might we do differently, if we accepted that the police are not failing to protect the public, but telling us who they believe is worthy of protection?
I was on a group Zoom call where one of the participants was sharing his screen. He accidentally shared the one where Gemini is ingesting our call, summarizing it in realtime, and offering reply suggestions. I didn’t even know that was a thing!
So even when talking to a human, it might be a bot.

a million pieces/segments sneering at hasan piker and the co-chair of the DSA, meanwhile a republican congressional candidate in upstate new york named peter oberacker is the grandson of an actual nazi germany soldier and his former staffer was part of the 'i love hitler' young GOP group chat
