and the fact that they appear to do so worries me, greatly.

But, it does form part of an explanation for why so oddly many people appear to shamelessly say "I asked ChatGPT" as if its some kind of an argument in favor of their viewpoint.

Her er det så mange skjermbilder og saker å legge ved at jeg vet ikke hvor jeg skal starte engang. Den typen eskalerende, målrettet dehumanisering transpersoner møter i USA er nettopp sånt asylprogrammet eksisterer for å beskytte sårbare grupper fra.

Bluesky- hjelpen: jeg vil svært gjerne komme i kontakt med noen som har god kjennskap til regelverket om fraværsgrense i vgs og ikke minst hvilke endringer som har blitt gjort over de siste årene, er det noen som enten selv oppfyller kriteriene eller kan formidle kontakt med en annen?

The European commissioner for human rights is in step with GLP’s ongoing legal challenge to the EHRC’s interim guidance, where we argue that the regulator’s approach would be incompatible with trans people’s human rights 👇

While I may not be one of your constituents, I believe it would benefit you and your constituents if you and as many as possible of your fellow politicians MAKE the time to watch this short 5 hour video.

It *may* give you a better understanding of a few of the things that need to be addressed.

A lot of cis reporters who are otherwise capable of seeing what's in front of them are seemingly completely oblivious to bigotry against trans people.

The only real conclusion at this point is that they don't think it's bigotry: that they think it's simply putting us in our rightful place.

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

Given the absolutely insane levels of disinformation and growing attacks on science and scientists, all scientists must be taught

- how to communicate effectively
- how to engage the public
- how to engage politicians and policy makers
- how to engage with the media
- how to counter misinformation

Quote by Paul Sutter which says "The public needs to see scientists as poeple, rather than simply sources of information"

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

“These findings follow previous research which concluded that the more people learn about how AI works, the less they trust it. The opposite was also true — AI’s biggest fanboys tended to be those who understood the least about the tech.”

The More Scientists Work With AI, the Less They Trust It

A preliminary report shows that researchers' confidence in AI software dropped off a cliff over the last year.
