It's transgender awareness week, which is the one week a year when I experience consciousness subjectively
It's Transgender Awareness Week which is the one week of the year I'm allowed to stop being aware that I'm transgender.
Thanks for the breather. I appreciate you!

Breaking: we release a fully synthetic generalist dataset for pretraining, SYNTH and two new SOTA reasoning models exclusively trained on it. Despite having seen only 200 billion tokens, Baguettotron is currently best-in-class in its size range. pleias.fr/blog/blogsyn...

Part of the reason why I’m so insistent about folks understanding AI capabilities is that they’re here to stay and we need to start thinking about what to do in such a world. Putting the genie back in the bottle is a pleasant fantasy that delays serious reckoning

while feeds like For You do a pretty good job of emulating ML-based recsys algorithms by just leveraging the social graph and interactions, it'd be cool to use cheap and scalable methods like these to surface relevant posts outside interaction graphs to connect "islands" of people better
i am entirely too employed to maintain this but it seems like it would be fairly trivial to make a service that embeds Every Post by some cheap method like "inverse document frequency weighted average of LLM token embeddings"
would be decent feedstock for custom recsys stuff

![Fuentes' explicit critiques of Jewish influence in media, finance, and politics—framed by him as opposition to perceived anti-white agendas—along with statements questioning Holocaust death tolls and endorsing hierarchical governance over democracy, have resulted in his classification as a white supremacist and antisemite by advocacy groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), organizations critics argue exhibit ideological bias against non-leftist dissent.[4][5] These positions, coupled with associations like dining with former President Trump and Kanye West in 2022, have amplified his visibility while prompting deplatforming from platforms including YouTube, Twitter (pre-Musk), and payment services like PayPal, reflecting broader tensions over speech boundaries in digital spaces.[6]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pjibmbyyshoh72bpham5zpgc/bafkreie6xp2d4g3veuxqigbmw6457hurqumz5kaw4onzrk4pk4ktyyii24@jpeg)
holy shit man (from the "Grokipedia" page on Eugenics)
![Contemporary data reveal dysgenic fertility patterns, where individuals with lower intelligence reproduce at higher rates than those with higher intelligence, resulting in a net decline in genotypic IQ. In the United States, analyses of birth cohorts from 1900 to 1979 show a consistent negative correlation between IQ and number of children, projecting a loss of 1-2 IQ points per generation if unchecked.[159] Similar trends appear in other populations, including China, where fertility inversely tracks educational attainment as a proxy for cognitive ability, despite environmental gains like the Flynn effect masking underlying genetic deterioration.[49] This reversal of natural selection—once favoring survival and reproduction of the able—arises from modern welfare systems decoupling reproduction from fitness costs, leading to cumulative societal costs in reduced innovation and increased dependency.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pjibmbyyshoh72bpham5zpgc/bafkreidud2p6hklitejpsyivsr6ncyo2me7dg4ofkdt4oz7ueg5vmu7k3q@jpeg)

xAI's grokipedia on the subject of "Hitler"
![Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician who served as the dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, first as Chancellor and then as Führer und Reichskanzler after consolidating absolute power.[1][2][3] He founded and led the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), known as the Nazi Party, transforming it into a mass movement that capitalized on post-World War I grievances, economic depression, and nationalist sentiments to seize control through legal means and subsequent purges.[4][5] Under Hitler's leadership, Nazi Germany achieved rapid economic recovery from the Great Depression through massive public works, rearmament, and deficit financing, reducing unemployment from over six million in 1933 to near full employment by 1939, though this laid the groundwork for aggressive militarization.[6] His regime enacted racial laws excluding Jews from society, escalating to the Holocaust—the systematic genocide of approximately six million Jews between 1941 and 1945, alongside millions of others including Roma, disabled individuals, and political dissidents—driven by Hitler's longstanding antisemitic ideology outlined in Mein Kampf.[7][8][9] Hitler initiated World War II in Europe by ordering the invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939, prompting declarations of war from Britain and France, and pursued expansionist policies that conquered much of Europe before ultimate defeat in 1945, resulting in an estimated 70–85 million deaths worldwide.[10][3] Facing imminent Soviet capture of Berlin, Hitler died by suicide via gunshot and cyanide in his Führerbunker on 30 April 1945.[9][11][12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pjibmbyyshoh72bpham5zpgc/bafkreicfn576hjhpunhfl2wrksfjqpyf3soporea5pvanpiyxhg34z5wnu@jpeg)
