I am a cis person and I am going to make this commitment - if you want to transition, I will not give you lukewarm support, I will fucking cheerleader for you.
Transition is a hard thing, made harder by dickheads being horrible. I am so proud of anyone who does it, absolute rockstars.

This is because for every dollar you spend on Harry Potter media or merchandise, a large portion of it goes to Head Bigot JK Rowling, who specifically uses that money to finance her fellow raging bigots threatening ruinous lawsuits against UK people who point out their raging bigotry.

I love that nobody that brings this shit up as a news story will ever bring up the Why She Was Fired. She was fired for being trans in Oklahoma so that a white woman that wears a foundation two shades darker than her skin can have a job as a hatefluencer. Malpractice from the chicken shit media
A graduate teaching assistant who gave a University of Oklahoma student a failing grade on a psychology essay will no longer be teaching at the university

For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.

Coming back to this, I'm still struck by the implication that academics should care if the AI pushers "trust" all our work that's done without AI.
I don't know, man, you all seemed to trust our work enough to steal it from us wholesale.

I would struggle to trust an academic who doesn‘t know how to

Which is not the same as not being critical.

One of my greatest worries about climate was “countries will not trust each other enough to do this” but that’s actually become somewhat moot as renewables have become way preferable for many growing countries precisely /because/ they do not trust temperamental petrostates.

We do not have to offer and I believe indeed should not offer any benefit of the doubt: Anything sold as "AI" should be presumed ineffective, exploitative, environmentally ruinous, bigotry-amplifying and otherwise until proven otherwise.

But let's turn that around: Anyone who wants to call what they are doing "AI" should be accountable for making clear why their product (or research) isn't in fact slop. That's on them. The rest of us do not need to hold space for that.

Calvin and Hobbes. I’ve been chasing that for years and years, and I just have gotten nowhere with [creator] Bill Watterson. I began writing letters to him over 20 years ago. He lives in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and I was actually contemplating just going out there and just staying at a local Best Western and seeing if he ever shows up at the [local] bookstore. All he does is these wood carvings for poetry readings, and every now and then he goes to the bookstore and does signings.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bck7uabvjt4xu5uzn3exzhqj/bafkreihbf3oqirpgrhgcmd5ruwmeq6wi4bfhpzlgexh26yfjnb5g5i3a6q@jpeg)
