This. Gamergate is the skeleton key to understanding just how fundamentally antisocial the right is.
I think a lot of people who weren't online and involved in dealing with channers/Gamergate etc. haven't understood until now how deeply depraved the right is
this is what they are all like. they sincerely think not just that women/minorities should face discrimination, but that we should die

the comments on vance's post are genuinely disturbing. just screenshots of good's face seemingly implying that she deserved to be killed because the poster finds her annoying

Getting up and leading with compassion is damn hard.
Not doing that gets us to yesterday.
So I choose to face the world with compassion, in the service of love, harmony, beauty, justice, and mercy.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

One of the things I talked about on stream today was how quick everything was with this current AI hellscape, how when it first started appearing it was a weird little novelty, and we had strange and funny images that only kinda looked like things. I never expected it would've escalated so fast then

Actually let me add: we like to think machines and software will be free of bias and prejudice, but that's illusory. Machines are designed by humans (yep even the so called "AI") so machines are bound to replicate that bias and prejudice, *esp* if we're unaware of said bias.
Ok so
The headline is a bit misleading. AI shows racist bias in that psychiatric model (not surprising)
The slides issue is more complex--the AI detects markers that are correlated with race and then can't diagnose because it's been trained on too many white ppl (1/?)

for all the bs that obojima is, they do not use genAI for art & have an anti GenAI policy. All their artists are credited.
There are MANY reasons to hate the game. SO MANY!!! But GenAI use isn’t one of them!!
can we focus on how racist it is instead? And how no one’s listening to Asian folks?

The consulting firms are trying to make this "left behind" thing real with the narratives around their layoffs (Accenture calling impacted employees "untrainable") but it doesn't hold up. They laid people off to cut costs and pinned it on AI.
My standard response is "tell me, in specific detail, how exactly I'll be 'left behind,'" and to date not a single techbro has ever answered the question. "You'll be left behind" is a statement of religious faith, not business fact, and should be treated as such.
So the “figure out how to use it lest you be left behind” replies about ‘AI’ that have been popping up here strike me as inauthentic but also kind of funny because they grant the point that rather than an automation panacea these technologies are quite difficult to figure out how to use effectively
