It’s crazy when an account posts something so good while being a dumpster fire of Bad. I can’t subject people to You, even if this post is good, sorry

"Demeaning" trans people is exactly right. Their goal--and what they're most able to easily achieve--is our humiliation. The imposition of indignities. They also hope that, as humiliations often do, it exposes us to ridicule. Perhaps even violence. (e.g. forcibly outing people on their IDs).
It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people
Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT

Makes me sad to see the political direction of Skillet. Special kind of feeling when a band you adored as a kid and saw in concert multiple times is outspoken about how much they hate you

I appreciate the followers I get for my talk about LLMs but I hope y'all scrolled my profile and see that I also talk about a lot of other stuff. It's a hobby for me not my main thing

My Apple Music Replay this year is so funny. You can see the EXACT moment my mental health collapsed and rebounded by what songs and albums I was listening to month to month LMAO
it's like not funny but also it's INCREDIBLY funny to see a very Bad song bookended by two "I WILL SURVIVE" songs

mistral 3 model family released today. and it's interesting that it's an iteration forward but is being received as underwhelming because it's not some cosmic progression
ministral 3 14b seems to generally be ahead of gemma 3 27b and competitive with qwen 3 30b and mistral small 24b. that's big!

Part of our original, core mission was to find undiscovered young, liberal talent, and help magnify their voices. If you help us meet our goal, we will keep doing that, and their voices will carry further than ever before. gofund.me/a693b9559

It's incredibly funny how LLMs lean into the trans-coded names. Nonbinary characters are almost always named Zephyr or Kai. Transfems get a lot of Lilys. LLMs bring out the latent patterns in our language and the patterns with trans names are really laid bare lmao

Based on the this upgrade, the more you donate, the better the visualizations get. Donate to Liberal Currents maybe we can get a cool interactive visualization on the website. Maybe
Our matching donor sending us $35k as a wire transfer was great for avoiding transaction fees but less great for our progress meter on GoFundMe reflecting reality. Here's the current situation gofund.me/fb504af5f

The new Heretic method of abliteration for LLMs is crazy, and another point for the "the cat is out of the bag" argument. You can now, if you have the hardware (or hell, you can rent the hardware for cheap!), take a "safe" open-weight LLM and easily decensor it.

We’ve received almost $90,000 on GoFundMe. Through direct donations and new patron signups last week, we received close to $39,000. Between the two we’ve reached 26% of our goal. Let’s keep the momentum going and reach 33% by midweek! gofund.me/259eba2d6

At present, nearly 100% of our funding goes straight to our writers.
But in 2025, that isn’t enough.
We need full-time staff dedicated to pursuing our core mission as effectively as possible. And we need to make some major one-time investments to get us there: www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

Eat to Love is really good so far for the Buddhists out there who also want a better path for approaching food than diet culture. It goes through the paramitas and discusses how to apply them to a liberating approach to eating.
