YES!! Cis people focused on pins and email signatures. Cis people declared "the trans tipping point" was here. Cis people decided Caitlyn Fucking Jenner is "queen of the trans." Cis people started the bathroom arguments, the sports arguments, the transition arguments. We're just trying to exist.

I'm out here sweating in the theory mines, discussing gender and race and tech, and these chucklefucks just tweet it out.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

If "AI" were a mere tool and not a political narrative you wouldn't need to headline "X used AI to do Y" all the time. Anything anyone does while "AI" is involved must reify "AI"'s power and relevance. Because it's not "just a tool", it's a project of disenfranchisement some willingly embrace.

As we prepare to enter the post scarcity, pro union, realm of Star Trek... WotC chooses to once again force a vote rather than voluntarily recognize the Union. I'm gonna need a Miles O'Brien card so I can get it signed by as much staff as I can after they win this.

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

an interesting and, imo, important read. what does capitalism begin to consume (and/or accelerate its existing consumption of) as it exhausts material avenues for expansion? how do we (as workers, as storytellers) push back?

Around the world, people are pumping themselves full of caffeine, amphetamines, and other performance-enhancing drugs just to survive their working hours. This isn’t sustainable. www.currentaffairs.org/news/a-socie...

You ever hear about how Dianetics has remained a bestseller for 75 years? Yeah.

Scholastic sent me a whole box of paperback copies of Sorcerer’s Stone that I sure didn't order. When I asked why, my rep told me they're sending complimentary giveaway copies to random schools that do Book Fair.

Reading proofs from book & remembering what I wrote in 2015: "I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one-dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.”

a lot of folks are asking how someone can do something so "stupid" as hard coding a secret token, and i'm telling you that you are holding software developers and companies on way too high a pedestal if you still think there's secure, quality code being sent out into the world

Micah Lee@micahflee.com

HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.

I'm back, I missed you all. Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult. I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?) (alternative title: Time For Some Cult Theory)

oh hey it's that thing I said Seriously tho print this article out and take it to your next city council meeting and ask them if they're willing to invest in air defense systems for your town too.

Need another reason to oppose AI data centers in your hometown? If the company running them has DoD contracts, they are legitimate targets of war. So is the local power and water infrastructure feeding them. So are the employees (defense contractors) working there and living in your neighborhood.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

Honestly the discourse really is just a lot of cis people going "won't you trannies just accept you are less than human scum that don't matter and throw yourselves on the pyre for me". You can dress it in fancy words but a ban on trans healthcare will kill trans people & you demand we support it
