Meta Wants to Tilt Its AI to the Right
Are Mark Zuckerberg and Meta just trying to dodge a fight with Trump, or will they end up promoting his biases and agenda, too?

One of my conversational English students used the verb “doged” today in their writing assignment, as in fired. He was doged. Totally legit.

tim walz went to a restaurant in houston, bought food for a whole team of people, and asked the waiter "what's the order that's easiest on the kitchen staff" cause he knew it was a lot and i'm gonna allow myself a bit of mourning here that we could've had a guy who actually cares about others.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Autistic women have always existed. Except in the old days they called us witches and burned us at the stake for standing up against patriarchal injustices.

African American women are helping to shape academia — as professors, researchers, deans, and college and university presidents. Although they comprise fewer than 5% of individuals in the U.S. who hold doctorates, Black women are building a presence. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4iw8vin

Here’s a study, in case you needed it. But really, are you surprised? GenAI is built on our heteronormative white supremisist patriarchy. Of course it gets away with spewing confident-sounding bullshit. That’s what white dudes do (and some of my best friends are white dudes :) )
Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones.
Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Count me in.
Totally get this.
It’s imperfect, but I think our kind of work has 3 roles right now:
- to document & remember (radical when time feels unmoored)
- to think & speak with precision (when so much noise rejects rigour)
- to see seemingly familiar things anew (articulating alternatives is a way out)
