People act like it’s some great mystery that trans people are statistically more likely to be distrustful of authority and hold radical politics, but don’t seem to have considered what it does to you to have everyone in authority show you theirs is wholly illegitimate every day of your whole life.

I think to be a slight downer, this is still twice what was previously the line to never cross. But it still shows progress and progress matters, especially when it’s so significant proportionally

I get it though. It feels downright abusive that the people who will likely end the species maximizing valuations are being described by press as literal saviors come to rid us of work and disease, while they build massive death machines that require more resources than physically exist on earth.

The entire world should be all over the United States right now for likely single-handedly undoing a decade of progress.

Data tells a story where we have some agency, even if climate change has already begun. We do actually have the power to at least slow it down. The pandemic itself provided a natural window into how quickly the air clears when we curb emissions. Countries like China have shown extraordinary gains.

This is an exceptional article from @billiejsweeney.bsky.social covering how the wave of queer firings coincides with a total erasure of trans voices in articles themselves, and an increasing deference to the talking points and language of the administration. It’s chilling.

All of his accounts are chatbots at this point, just like all of his videos are now generated.

Perhaps, but i think we will also start to see significant problems with AI coding that suggest this to be true. Already LLMs are reintroducing old security holes that have been long patched into new code.

I also have yet to hear someone say “oh good, a chatbot instead of a person”, and it isn’t only a matter of performance. People just don’t love the experience. That likely won’t significantly change at least for a long time.

Deepseek also showed proprietary isn’t the only option. Sure, everyone is integrating AI into their app no matter how inane the use case, but most of the tasks chatbots are replacing are customer service jobs. You don’t need an LLM that can write complex analyses for that. There’s a ceiling of need.

Adorbsssss

Few things have made more more mad over recent months than the attention given to this while the Supreme Court is actually taking step after step to make life more difficult for trans and nonbinary people.

Like, this actually happened last week — in an unsigned order.
