I wish I had the ability to be conscience in a way befitting of a site like this. And that I was capable of having a single thought that's not an amalgamation of five different barely connected thoughts bolted together by three more completely random tangents. Alas... I'm sorry

I think it’s important to insist on recalling, at all available opportunities, that this was specifically an attack on a trans instructor over an assignment about gender. Neither of those details are incidental; they are the center of the story
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

When we ask "what if that was your daughter," a common patriarchal question to dig for empathy over property ownership, we erase who is actually centered & protected in rape culture. What if that were your son, your brother, or your friend? And we know the answer. It's been very loud.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

The neat thing about Christmas is that it not only is the time of stress, consumerism, and coercion, participation being mandatory but that there's also stories about how anyone who'd prefer to opt out is a horrible monster who needs to be bullied into realizing the error of their autistic ways.

If you understand and agree with the moral and economic/political/labour centric arguments against genAI, then it should be obvious no amount of it is acceptable. I don't care how tired you are or how good you think that one thing that used some of it was. It's not that difficult.
Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc
Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.
It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

It doesn't matter that you protected a bunch of neo nazi and far right groups right to protest because when they gain power, they simply change the rules so the rights that protected them don't protect others. You can't sit there and just say "but that's illegal!"

One thing that liberals obsessed with process and rights based frameworks fail to understand is that it's always about power and they always underestimate bad faith actors. When authoritarians seize power, they don't care about the rules. They enact their will with limited restraint.

What's so frustrating in this moment of explicit government censorship is how many times groups like the ACLU and others told us they _had_ to defend neo nazis because of the principle of free speech. Now that fascists are in power, none of those principles are protecting marginalized groups.
