it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

yeah and also she is by far not the only mega rich prick out there funding hate against trans people specifically let alone all the pricks spending money on hate more widely.
We focus too much on jkr as she's a face to be angry at and one we, as queer kids that grew up on HP, felt close to.

the sad thing is JK Rowling has enough money to keep doing this forever even if everyone immediately stopped buying Harry Potter merchandise and they pull the films from streaming and shut the theme parks tomorrow

It is possible in social gatherings to turn your backs on bigots and not speak to them. GCs believe themselves to represent a majority of women: if this were true, they won't have a problem with being shunned by women who don't agree with them.

Apparently the decision of the WI to rescind trans inclusion was prompted in part by an internal faction. If I were a cis member of the WI, I would want those bigots named,shamed and shunned.
Aggressively promoting transphobia should have social sanctions applied to it.

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here.
Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women.
I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Good article.
One add: Cass Review cast particular doubt on young trans MEN's bodily agency. TERFs see trans men as women. Feminists MUST wake up to the fact trans men are the far-right's route to removing women's repro health rights. That's why they erase us.

Transphobia is just the first step in removing rights from all women and girls

99% of the time when I tell people I’m a user researcher they dont know what I’m talking about and say “that’s nice”
However one person did ask me “isn’t that hard with you being autistic?” - a sentiment I’ve heard indirectly too many times

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I did jury service earlier this year and sat on two trials. Neither of them, in my non-expert opinion, should have made it that far.
The first one was about self-defence. Guy thought he was gonna get stabbed by Guy A and so attacked Guy B who was holding him down. The police never spoke to Guy A…

There's not a single anti-trans campaigner or group with a major platform on twitter who haven't posted *horrifying* things and it's a stain on our entire media ecosystem that not a single major outlet has done even basic reporting of it.
I thought I could not be shocked by what prominent transphobes feel able to say about me. Turns out I was wrong.
Here is Richard Dunstan, a prominent commentator closely associated with the Sex Matters charity, speculating that I enjoyed being sexually assaulted as a child.
