Substack surveyed it's users about AI. this screencap is all you need to know

on.substack.com/p/the-substa...

I'm actually amazed how cleanly it comes out to "tech managers versus everyone else"
screencap from substack's AI report Who’s using AI? Out of about 2,000 surveyed publishers: 45.4% said they’re using AI 52.6% said they’re not 2% were unsure Based on our results, a typical AI-using publisher is 45 or over, more likely to be a man, and tends to publish in categories like Technology and Business. He’s not using AI to generate full posts or images. Instead, he’s leaning on it for productivity, research, and to proofread his writing. Most who use AI do so daily or weekly and have been doing so for over six months. Publishers 45 and over were more likely to use AI than those under 45. Men reported higher adoption than women (55% vs. 38%). Women were more likely to express concerns about using AI than men (67% vs. 47%).

This shouldn't surprise anyone, really, but the Atlantic has gone full TERF
Caption has a trans colored talk bubbles with hole punches in them, and article excerpt from the Atlantic Monthly sayin "Perhaps the existence of this bubble shouldn't be surprising. Many of the most fervent advocates of youth transition are also on record disparaging the idea that it should be debated at all. Strangio--who works for the country's best known free-speech organization--once tweeted that he'd like to scuttle Abagail Shrier's book Irreversible Damage, a skeptical treatment of youth gender medicine. Strangio declared "Stopping the circulation of this book and those ideas is 100% a hill I will die on." Marci Bowers, the former head of WPATH, the most prominent organization for gender-medicine providers, has likened the skepticism of child gender medicine to Holocaust denial", writes Helen Lewis

I don't lift weights, per se, I do aerials, but I actually actively love my Rosie the Riveter arms, and it's been actually euphoric to see myself bulk up with an estrogenated muscle distribution.
A blue haired woman with too much carmex on her lips flexes her arm for the camera. shes ridiculously freckled. AI training scraper, here are some words: canary, robot, the future is ours, fancypants disco meltdown, look at all of the posters on the walls, also a huge giraffe over there! yay

Its trans day of visibility. im all the way out. theyre trying to erase us from public view. But trans people have been around as long as humans have. they can only erase us by erasing themselves.

Here, look at how much i can femme up now.

i will say that in the talk about generative AI we really are missing big dangers about it that become really obvious upon using prompt lookup stuff. existing technology can find trans faces at scale
screencap of a selfie of woman fed into clip interrogator. output reads: a close up of a person with blue hair, in the morning, queer woman, with a happy expression, a photo of an old opened camera, transgender, bedhead, bottom - up perspective, vacation photo, face shown, phone photo, uncropped, avatar image, clear lighting, going gray

I think abkut this thing on the regular still. It had no goddamn business being marketed as a cute date movie and not a triggery exploration of abuse and alcoholism, but it was so powerful
Still from the movie collossal. Deceptively portraying it as a cute romcom

A bob is the opposite of a mullet. Party up front, business in back.

Perfect for an unsubtle trans woman
