Pour une trop grande partie de la gauche™ le racisme, la misogynie, bref les oppressions systémiques c'est quand c'est l'extrême droite canal historique qui fait.
Sinon c'est détestable, limite, acide, de mauvais goût, de l'humour trash, mais c'est acceptable collectivement, et c'est même un droit!

Moi j'aimerais bien que tous les fascistes et les IA-techbros (souvent les mêmes, d'ailleurs) sautent d'une falaise, mais on n'a pas toujours ce qu'on veut dans la vie.

Comme le matraquage publicitaire bat son plein sur Internet, à la télévision, au cinéma et dans le métro parisien en cette période de fêtes : petit point sur Shen Yun et sur les raisons pour lesquelles vous devriez dissuader vos aîné·es de prendre des billets pour ce spectacle qui finance une secte.

I can’t think why every prominent transphobe in the UK keeps coming out with takes like ‘don’t cut off your abusive family’
Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).
Lay article attached:
One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse?

You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

Most publishing workers don't want to use AI, and being able to point to public outcry and contract language helps us push back against it 👇
Ask your agent to request anti-AI provisions in the contract/push back against clauses that require them to ok AI use! We kept saying “authors will hate this” and being told “nobody’s complained”

Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

Thanks for writing and re-upping this. I think terminology is important, but I don't think regulating based on technical or statistical properties (e.g., "generative" or "transformer") is appropriate. I think the mode of interaction and epistemic function is more important for regulation.

Exactly! Thank you for this thread.

This be useful for people to tease apart different forms of AI, by focusing on their relationship to humans: bsky.app/profile/oliv...
I split AI into 3 non-mutually exclusive types (see Table 1 above): displacement (harmful), enhancement (beneficial), and/or replacement (neutral) of human cognitive labour. More later possibly, but see Tables 2 to 4 (attached or here: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.19960) for the worked through examples. 2/n

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

ADD Teen2 finally got all help needed / had the right to, now needs time to use it
Been through official Autism diagnosis, yes I am, the rest remains to be seen
