#AI may indeed exacerbate our bad academic habits:
#LLM science summaries were nearly five times more likely than human-authored science summaries to contain broad generalizations (95% CI [3.06, 7.70], p < 0.001).
And newer models over-generalized more; not less!

Do we have a term for when people prescribe unrealistic power and authority to trans women’s words in order to justify screaming at them?

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.

How Grok's sexual abuse hit a tipping point
Nonconsensual deepfakes on X are nothing new, but now it's built into the platform.

LLMs are 100% - yes, 100% - the results of their programmer's intentions.
Yes, there are some unexpected outputs. But if you'd chatbot creates sexual images of young children, either the programmers don't care or THEY EXPLICITLY WANTED IT TO DO THAT.

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes."
This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.
Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

this is irresponsible reporting. a neural network can't comment on why it produced CSAM. a neural network can't be held answerable for generating CSAM. accountability lies within the fascist ceo and the team willing to work for him

for those curious about vaginoplasties, it's actually not at all that difficult to install the viper jaws; the trick has always been the xenomorph-like second set of jaws that pop out, but modern advances in bionic prosthetics have allowed trans women to install gau-8/a avengers in its place instead
I know Milo claims he is 100% straight now, but for sake of everybody's well being he needs to just accept he likes dick.

last year I tried and failed to find a mix cd Fin made me circa 2011 that I was sure I still had. I've been disappointed it's lost because this is the only song I remember being on it.

A little-noticed provision in the TRUMP AI Act would ban big tech platforms, including ostensibly Google, from distributing "sexual material harmful to minors" — a phrase routinely used by conservatives to ban not only porn, but sex ed, LGBTQ literature and repro rights resources.
The TRUMP AMERICA AI Act is every bit as bad as you would expect. Maybe worse.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s latest is an anti-tech omnibus, combining years' worth of dangerous policy ideas into one big, bad bill.

Even the studies of its effects on reading and writing that conclude with suggestions for *implementing* it do so as a way of *mitigating the harm to critical skills that its use introduces*, rather than advancing any preexisting teaching mission. What a wonderful tool

2025 was by far the strongest year ever for novels by trans writers from major publishers -- and that's before you get down to smaller presses and self-published stuff, which were also cooking. God, I hope it sustains in 2026 and beyond. A lot of these books sold well! The audience is there!
