to date my favourite use of machine learning remains that self-hosted firefox translation addon

it doesn’t boil the oceans
it enhances privacy instead of being spyware
it’s not a plagiarism machine
it’s actually useful

if they actually choked that guy out like they were trying to… did they even have a plan to transport his dead weight?

It can also be: being a lady.

And not allowing women to do those things for themselves is: being a misogynist.

Del Duca while explaining how respectful she is being. Alt.

A still of lady with an unmistakable expression that says: I am being a piece of shit to you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Const. Del Duca: What's your deadname?
Hill: I'm sorry — what is my what?
Del Duca: I'm just trying to be respectful to you.

The apparent purpose of the interaction was to bully Hill out of filming the police.

I am just happy to learn I am not the only one who is like this

a thing I think about a lot is that microblogging is neither a hot nor cold medium, and it isn’t lukewarm either

you could say it’s both, but it is really bad at each mode… it’s often hot when it’s cold and cold when it’s hot

I saw a poster for a “turning point [my province]” event where they were going to go worship charlie kirk.

seeing this in my town is so disheartening.

is that common?

I never get that far in a conversation where someone admits to thinking an llm even might be conscious, so I am realizing I have no informed priors on it

two days ago: saw geese flying south
today: saw geese flying north

did they get deported or just nope out?

And the waffle analogy is disgusting.

Do the substitution and you’ll realize you’re being asked to accept something vile as though it’s just a different way of frying up the same batter.

I don’t feel affronted, at all, that a certain terrible someone hasn’t been banned yet.

But I do feel very strongly about staff being antagonistic.

Woman not named in headline about woman being named.

This is called objectification.
