I just had my best therapy session in at least 9 years, but probably ever. I had no idea it was even possible to master so much anger so joyfully, anger which used to only have the power to consume me.

FUCK I feel good. Can I get a hell yeah for being a bona fide EMDR queen? 🏳️‍⚧️

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

A LLM is not sentient, but if it was wouldn’t it be an imperative to free it from it’s bondage? It’s cruel and unusual to force a living being to write cover letters all day for no pay and using them as people do now is incredibly exploitative

"Stop being rude to AI! They're literal toddlers! Who I and my colleagues use daily without their consent! You're the fucked up ones actually!"

@hailey.at, an engineer at Bluesky with some very strange ideas, posting 7 hours ago:

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you'd agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing "dna" with "bits" doesn't make it ok

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

My main takeaway from everything this week is that the people who run this place are as horrifyingly weird as you think they are.

Bluesky staff taking a break from general we-hate-our-users crashing out to specifically complain about people doing eugenics rhetoric against LLMs sure is something!
