The WAFFLES have been replaced with a kind note reminding that "Trans rights are human rights"

crazy how this site went from “Twitter without the fascism or ads” into “Something Waffles” in the span of a month due the leadership’s insistence on viewing criticism as harassment

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

I made this video 3 years ago about a show from the 90s and it might as well have been yesterday given nothing has been learned since.

anyways, here's a video by @eddache.bsky.social that does a phenomenal job of explaining the dangers of moral panics and considering what's been going on for the past few years it is shockingly relevant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jen...

I’m still kinda shook..
Hoping dearly that in the worst case theres still somewhere to watch the show, i first saw it before ever questioning, and now it just means more to me than it already did.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act.

TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets!

Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

Reminder that you can and should still sign this petition demanding the repeal of the Online Safety Act. A huge example of government overreach which can and will be used to persecute minorities, especially LGBTQ people under the guise of "child safety" petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...
