My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”

Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

Every act of refusal can help pave the way for others to refuse as well.
"We hope that other educators will join us in helping students and professors to pave an exit ramp off the alienating highway of automated education, and we aspire to achieve this in community, rather than as solitary prompt engineers."

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?

baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years

“more airtime” is hilarious

"One of the most insidious things about prison is that it tries to mute us. It can’t take our voices away, but it can make it harder for them to be heard...Amplifying our voices is empowering and powerful. And you can help by joining any number of advocacy efforts."
Talking to folx in prison reminds me that people have been living with extreme authoritarian conditions, including censorship and denial of trans health care, prior to this moment. Let's listen when they tell us how to get through it and what they need. #solidarity truthout.org/articles/bei...
Being Trans Behind Bars in Florida Was Already Hard. Under Trump, It’s Worse.
Trans people in prison are at the front lines of the increased targeting that trans people are facing under Trump.

When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who told you so.

We’re only beginning to understand the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2. Prevention still works, and the tools exist — masks, clean air, testing, and policy action. We just have to use them.

Long COVID isn’t a fringe issue, it’s one of the most common chronic conditions in the U.S., yet treated like an afterthought. Symptoms vary, onset is delayed, and stigma keeps people quiet. The result? Millions suffering with little recognition or support.

I've come to pretty much the same conclusion. @internetofbugs.com articulates it expertly here.

We hear it repeated over & over, but it's become very clear scaling isn't the answer.

But it's the only answer Big Tech has right now. So scale they must!
