Probably talking about disability. Maybe shitposting.
Pinned
If I was a dick to you online in recent years then I apologize.

I didn't know or understand my own limitations but I'm getting a grasp on them. I allowed social media to shape my engagement with others in really unhealthy ways that made existing issues worse.

Not doing that anymore.

Reduction in safety protections for workers. New OSHA rules.

Cos when you can infect people with a pathogen that can cause disability, and death, you can do anything.

Being bullied or treated differently at school definitely leaves an impact on you.

But a lot of it starts at home. Especially now when we’re not Afrocentric as much as we used to be. A whole lot of people striving for luxury, getting to the bag and a seat at the table (proximity to whiteness).

In fact, we could probably get a fair amount of these gains with smaller, more focused models, and/or models *not controlled by corporate entities*, so the overall damage to our world would be minimized. But boosters like you will never see that.

0) My day job is doing frontier research

1) This is OpenAI marketing and you should read it as such, regardless of the claimed results

2) A good chunk of these results should be understood as the benefit of “overtraining” on scientific papers, etc., which don’t need a general language input

I like Sara Ahmed's writing a lot, but there a moments where it feels like she hedges her bets.

I'm not sure this is a fair characterization, but I think her writing around the nation is what makes me feel this way.

Random fucked up Geographer thought:

What is the universe in? On?

Like where is it?

It's gotta be somewhere cause it's expanding. It had a start.

So what is it expanding into? Like what's the container? Or the plane? It's in???? On?????

Can we see it?

Reading about indoor air quality for a grant proposal (submitted!), and it strikes me how much HVAC maintenance matters.

Top Cream™ is a tall Hybrid Tea with large, old fashioned blooms on long stems perfect for cutting. She produces extremely fragrant single blooms with an earthy-pear and licorice scent against dark, glossy foliage. Her petal-packed blooms never dissapoint in the garden of Nhu Tran.
