Today in "No we'll totally keep humans on to correct the AI, always" - they've removed the feature I had that allowed me to teach the AI.
I used to be able to give it feedback while correcting, to shape future transcript. Now I'm just using digital white-out on a transcript in the customer's hands

Do we have a centralized place where we warn for bad tropes (like bury your gays)? I'm having trouble even searching goodreads lists.
The book is a few years old, but the Wikipedia article doesnt mention any pushback in reactions.

The problem with climate change is we have to convince a bunch of people that future people are actual people, when they don't even believe some currently alive people are people.

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

The question has never been "are puberty blockers safe" because the answer is yes. It's never been "do puberty blockers block puberty in a predictable and reversible way" because the answer is, again, yes.
We know these things.
They just don't think trans kids should be allowed to do that

I wish this were easier to share but I ran into to someone on FB reels unpacking some differences between the Sexy Born Yesterday trope and the Frankenstein trope. Important distinction for seeing Del Toro's story clearly.

Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.”
Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.
