I'm not as interested in the accuracy as much I am interested in the direction the AI chooses to go when it gets things wrong. That's the tell.
It's no coincidence that the AI chose to go in the direction that has me placing a white woman in a pioneering position of making people of color visible.

"Nnedi Okorafor credits Le Guin with proving fantasy heroes didn't have to be white."
WRONG.
AI is just out here flat out lying about me. I never said this. No disrespect the Great LeGuin but no one ever needed to "prove" such a thing. Mschew. Anyone who knows me knows I don't speak like that.

The resistance in Minnesota is succeeding—or at least enduring—because it’s being led by women who don’t give a shit about their follower count, and not grandstanding male influencers.
A lot of men ignore or downplay efforts like these as useless virtue signaling, because things like infant care are largely invisible to them. (I've hidden a lot of comments today, all from men, yes). Breastmilk/baby supplies matter immensely, and these women can see that the need exists.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

Also, just a reminder that Epstein was arrested in 2006 and pleaded guilty in 2008.
The majority of files from the latest release are dated beyond 2008.
This means the people communicating with him were doing so after it was known he was a pedo, had registered as a sex offender, and served time.

Oh, it's just incredible and effortless how Kristen Stewart dismantles and diagnoses the pathology and ego of Brando (and... well, all the dudes in Hollywood) here. www.youtube.com/shorts/_h-iK... There's just so many parallels to tech in this. And I'm so glad she's solid in herself to just SAY it.
