To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.
Silicon Valley’s Drive to Get AI Into America’s Schools Is Working
Educators across the country are bringing chatbots into their lesson plans. Will it help kids learn or is it just another doomed ed-tech fad?

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The fun thing about having cPTSD from being perceived as Not Normal™️ (read: #ActuallyAutistic) is being triggered by someone and completely losing the ability to mask, then being repeatedly re-traumatised as a result!

I know it comes from a place of ignorance rather than intentional ableism, but autism doesn’t have a gradient of intensity, it is a matrix of traits that present in varying ways across different people. Please, STOP using terms like ‘mild’ or ‘severe’ - they’re harmful & misleading

I would like to say a word or two about lab coats.
I have frequently heard that chemists should "always" choose 100% cotton lab coats.
It's true, cotton lab coats are the best choice if you're going to work around open flame.
HOWEVER.

Companies will waste 84 minutes and 45 seconds of generated footage to get 15 seconds of uncanny valley and STILL get humans to noticeably edit it instead of just hiring animators.
There's something I need people to understand.
The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.
The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Script for my half of the species to memorize in case of encountering a transphobe actively transphobing in a public restroom:
"It's a bathroom. She's here to pee, same as us, and you're the one being weird. Just let her get about it and on her way."

Hey you, buy the precut fruit and veggies, no, I know it’s not cheaper, I can read, but you’re not going to go home and cut them and put them away like you said. You’re actually going to NOT eat them if they’re not pre-cut so you’re actually wasting money. You are welcome, I love you too.
