Dispensing false information in a confident tone, rather than offering no answer when none is readily available, is a major flaw of generative AI, experts say. An audit of the top 10 generative AI models including ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta’s AI by the media literacy non-profit NewsGuard revealed that the non-response rates of chatbots went down from 31% in August 2024 to 0% in August 2025. At the same time, the chatbots’ likelihood of repeating false information almost doubled from 18% to 35%, NewsGuard found. None of the companies responded to NewsGuard’s request for a comment at the time.

Notice how hostile psyops and regime change attempts always boost right wingers? You never see attempts to weaken a country by installing left wing governments.

It's almost as if right wing ideology corrupts and debases any nation it's allowed into

Twitter had to turn off its location feature within hours because thousands of prominent and "verified" MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign and I think it's hilarious that Elon was the one who exposed them all

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion. likesupportcelebrate 186 You and 185 others

There are more of us than there are of them.
We protect us.

#antifa, #proudboys, #neverletthemhavethepark, #communityselfdefense, #musicandloveandnachos
Report from Philly circa September: "The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house today. The 'belly of the beast' rally. Because apparently that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever the fuck that means. 2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna Taylor's name. And all the other names. No right-wing rally ever coalesces. There was never room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people, turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park. Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck music plays the whole time. The usual guys sets their chess tables and start playing, the crowd of neighbors start to break up. Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of music and love and nachos. We will always replace you."

Heads up: popular antivirus program Malwarebytes posted this warning about Google training it's AI on our emails. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

Apparently this is being gradually rolled out, so if the settings aren't enabled yet you may need to check back later to make sure they're disabled
Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. (TDoR)

Take time today to think of our trans siblings waiting for us in whatever lies beyond, if anything. Re-commit yourself to your own journeys and safety.

To those we've lost: we miss you, so much.
To those still here: we love you, stay strong.

(I Need Help)

A couple days ago, I fled home.

I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive.

This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. On Monday, I discretely packed my bags, computer, and left.
muzzled animal fleeing from an enigmatic terror. I feel bad having to do this again, but I need some help. A couple days ago I fled home. I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive. This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. The next day, I discretely packed my bags and computer, and left. I am currently staying at a friend’s house. They have a spare room and I’ve been allowed to temporarily crash at their place for the time being. I have a roof over my head, and for the first time in a while now, I feel physically and emotionally safe. Despite this, I am not financially stable. And this is where, unfortunately, I still need help. Bills don’t stop just because I’m in a crisis. Any help is really welcome: I have setup a paypal.me https://paypal.me/imaginativelyu as well as a Ko-fi ko-fi.com/zillionross I wanted to write this to let people know what’s going on. This has all been immensely scary. But I feel that this is going to be the first step for me to get back on my feet. As always, take care of yourself first. But if you can help, I cannot express the gratitude I would have.

i'm quoting this interview a lot but it's full of incredible moments

the lesson you have to draw from this is:

you HAVE to be unapologetic about what you do. "fuck the rest of the world, we love furries and we're gonna show them that they love them too" is an inspiring attitude
