bluesky are literally tech fash (rationalists, coiners, neoreactionaries), so when they say "toxicity" they mean hating on their fellow nazis
Bluesky staff keeps saying they want to get rid of the toxicity on social media, but they don't bother to ban the threatening white supremacist accounts and would rather ban people who are pissed at other people defending sex crimes against children. They're constantly own-goaling themselves.

According to the study, a significant number of top-tier benchmarks fail to define what exactly they aim to test, concerningly reuse data and testing methods from pre-existing benchmarks, and seldom use reliable statistical methods to compare results between models.

ngl i'm still flabbergasted by the levels of ignorance and erasure it takes to call all of electronic dance music to drug-fueled decadence by the rich

associating dance music with "wealth" is very ignorant for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is that ravers are broke. the term "weekend warrior" exists because people are going to raves after working 9-5s for 40+ hours
this goes doubly for black and queer ravers

it's important to remember that the people making out that bad words about AI are *racism* are overwhelmingly eugenicists and race scientists
this is the right-wing trick of trying to coopt non-right-wing terms as a gotcha
e.g. hailey is a rationalist and they're race science all the way down

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
Unfortunately, it repeatedly offers incorrect answers for straightforward math questions. 🧪

Because Charlie Kirk's life work was advocating for systemic and stochastic violence towards those he deemed undesirables, making any tribute to, or paying any respect to, or otherwise validating Kirk beyond "he was a human being I guess" is glorification of violence, and needs to be treated as such

While you weren't looking, *seventeen* House Democrats just voted to strip basic rights from trans members of the military and helped the GOP pass their far-right version of the NDAA, similar to what we reported on.
This is the most Dems voting for anti-trans legislation in Congress this year.
