To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

The problem with “AI will definitely take over programming” is that the hard part is not writing code. Fresh university students can usually accomplish that within a few weeks.
It’s writing code that does and keeps doing what it needs to do. And figuring out what that means. Over and over again. 🧵

that AI will definitely take over programming is mainstream knowledge even though it's *not true*.
so we have multiple non-techies who are keenly good in their own fields talking like this hilariously false claim is true.
they fell for the brochure. but what's the path to this factoid falling?

The 'real use cases' are all things that would be far better benefited by smaller dedicated models - the only purpose for having an omnimodel that can ostensibly be 'fine tuned' to do whatever is if you believe that omnimodels are a good in themselves because they lead closer to the Singularity

I celebrated the end of 2025 by deleting all my Meta accounts and it feels great! Highly recommended if you haven't done it already.
this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

He's fucking around now, but he'll find out that those concentration camps they're building are intended for Latinos/as more than for women in general.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.
