In short we don't like "AI" because we can see a fucking used car salesman coming a mile away and yet you keep insisting there are five lights.
We're not all stupid and we're not all gullible, and we won't blindly accept an obvious scam.

This whole MOU is based on lies. There's no such thing as "low emission" bitumen. CCUS does NOT work. Indigenous co-ownership IS NOT reconciliation. Doubling down on fossil fuels & AI data centres will NOT "lower costs." Both govts are putting corporations before the public interest. #CDNPoli #ABLeg

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Scarleteen is one of the absolute best things that still remains of the internet I grew up on
A reminder that I'm raising $4k to support @scarleteen.com's staff and volunteer health fund to ensure that sex educators doing some of the BEST sex ed around are able to access health care. In an era of misinfo where most kids don't even get the most basic in school, Scarleteen is critical.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

This is so great.
Worked like a dog today as part of this handsome mobile lab team. Felt great. We gave HIV tests to 86 sex workers, got 3 poz, 6 inconclusive & 77 neg results. Got the 3 into care & about 60 of the 77 neg onto PrEP! Also gave PEP, antibiotics, condoms & lube to 200+ sex workers. A successful day.

We do amazing work at TNN y'all, and we ain't a "content" mill. If you want in-depth, unrepentantly radical trans journalism please support us as you can.
But it comes at a cost. Without posting many articles a week, our social media growth is slower. Without sponsors, paywalls, or ads, we have a fraction of the revenue of traditional news media.
That's where ton come in. For as little as $4 a month, you can support our trans journalism today!
