The real lesson of ChatGPT is that people are dazzled by its slick language—it talks a good game. But as we know from politics, that's the very reason to distrust it. Yet there's a rush to use it for legal & medical opinions, scientific research, etc. That's a recipe for disaster

The basic proposition that there is an imagined *correct number* of trans people (or LGBT people writ large) and that now there are *too many* and that's very bad for *reasons* was always going to go here.

Wow so weird that the thing that was definitely going to happen happened https://t.co/8cAPtgGp6e

That every trans person still standing is a survivor of a society that wants them gone https://t.co/gP1d7clN6r

Seeing supposed patriots angry about a good jobs report is very funny.

The same people who didn’t want black people to go to school in 1957 are the same people who don’t want you to learn they didn’t want black people to go to school in 1957.

This ain’t hard to figure out.

If I had a “Login with Twitter” button on a website, I’d be doing everything to get rid of it TODAY. Twitter is so fucked and they don’t have the slightest idea why. https://adamchandler.me/blog/2023/01/17/technology-what-about-log-in-with-twitter/

Sorry to get political but schools should probably have books

The chances of you dying because a kid gets to use her preferred pronoun? 0%. Meanwhile, Republicans are doing everything they can to make sure dozens of Americans continue to die of gun violence every day.

Hey, kids! It's your old buddy Steve King telling you that if they ban a book in your school, haul your ass to the nearest bookstore or library ASAP and find out what they don't want you to read.

Good. It's the same game the GOP always plays. National debt doesn't matter to them when there’s a Republican president and the debt ceiling limit is passed, no problem. When there is a Democratic president, they claim national debt is out of control, social programs have to be slashed to the bone...

Summary of 2023 Republican Agenda: -Abortion: Ban it -Marijuana: Ban it -Democracy: Ban it -Immigration: Ban it -LGBTQ books: Ban it -Contraceptives: Ban it -Dialogue on racism: Ban it -Books by Black Authors: Ban it . . . -Guns: BANS DON’T WORK YOU LIBERAL SNOWFLAKES!

@thomasjwebb@mastodon.social "Freedom" and "Liberty" in American conservative ideology are terms as devoid of content as "Freiheit" was in Nazi propaganda. Virtually everything they see as a threat to their "freedoms" involves challenging their place at the top of the social hierarchy and their way of life as the norm. Having to tolerate the existence of LGBT people and POC, and witness them being themselves in public, is "oppression." Criticizing them in any way is "oppression." The only way they can be "free" is to live in a society populated entirely by people like themselves.

RT @MichaelEHayden@twitter.com Elon Musk restored the verified account of white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes. No other mainstream website allows this guy to have an account.

Attached: 1 image It's really jarring watching how right-wing media regularly scrape social media for super unhinged takes that basically nobody agrees with, writes entire articles implying they are commonly held view among the group they want to attack, then they use the outrage generate from the article to undermine the rights of the entire group based on a straw man they built from a single post.

Attached: 1 image Sen. Marco Rubio just wrote this editorial regarding a potential TikTok ban. It's apparent to me that his gripe isn't with TikTok's surveillance or algorithms or data collection per se. It's that a Chinese company is doing it. Apparently, if TikTok were American, they would be peachy keen. But Chinese? That's bad! I don't like TikTok, and I believe it's generally an evil corporation. Yet I also dislike how Sen. Rubio is pushing yellow peril. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tiktok-other-social-media-controlled-enemies-must-banned-now-we-cant-wait-longer

Another day where the two tracking apps on my phone are over a mile and a half apart in their estimates of the distance I walked. Probably gonna hold off on getting in a driverless cars for at least the next 40-50 years.
