IFPA issued a statement, but in tracking the live convo around it in the IFPA official discord, it seems that the Women's Advisory Board was not sufficiently involved in the decision-making process and 5/6 members advocated for a different outcome.

Speaking of LLMs, I had originally declined to speak at Pinball Expo this year but had an opportunity to join this panel on the rise of AI in pinball art and I couldn't say no

What exactly are LLMs good for again?
I’ve heard that online dating is broken because of LLM’s. We know that applying for jobs online is broken because of spam/LLM’s/etc and that’s going to become even worse in a recession when people are trying to figure out how to get around those systems. There’s a need for human vetting at scale.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
