  I'm a queer trans woman with rather fringe politics, and these dickheads are suggesting I should filter my expression through a statistically bland language system. I put a lot of effort into what I write, and trying to express myself. It's not fast, I often struggle with language for various reasons, but I'm happy to take the time thinking and rewriting things Suggesting I run this through an LLM is suggesting that my ideas need to be made more bland. Do LLMs seem like they're...

  If you're in Australia, Trans Justice is running a survey about access to and experiences with gender confirming health care, to provide data in support of their work pushing for better access. Seems designed to include DIY experiences, and those who want access but have yet to get any care. Open to all trans and gender diverse people in Australia https://transjustice.org.au/survey/ #Trans #Australia #TransgenderHealthcare

  In response to that last boost about people being shits to Palestinian fundraisers. It's a classic of oppression Step 1: restrict people's access to financial services. Ban them from having bank accounts, moving money, ect. This doesn't have to be an explicit ban, onerous bureaucratic requirements like official identity documentation also works, or declarations of terrorism Step 2: define the acts they take to survive this as suspicious. Eg possession of large amounts of cash, sex...

  I will be doing a run of hand forged prep knives, would anyone be interested in buying one? I'll include some photos of previous ones in the next post Starting at aud$400. Hand forged 26c3 blades (high purity carbon steel, like Japanese white #2 but with slightly more carbon. Takes a very nice fine edge). Includes a handmade wooded sheath Handle can be customised to what you want #Handmade #Bladesmithing

  I keep seeing the attitude of "LLMs have problems but I'm good enough to use them, unlike those people". This is a really worrying attitude If something is dangerous, you need to assume that it is dangerous for you. You are not safe just because you think you are good, if you want to be safe you have to understand the risks and plan that they will happen to you. Even then you have to expect the problem will happen With LLM errors you have to check every part of the output, and al...

  The news: "AARGH IT"S A NUCLEAR CAPABLE MISSILE!!!" They built nukes for 150mm shells, nuclear capable just means it has space for an extra large bag of lollies. You can fit a small nuke in my forge It's just a missile, like the other ones various countries have
