I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time: such as randomizers, roguelikes, and gender expression! Twitch stream: https://twitch.tv/arborelia

Black people are still there.🤷🏿♂️
There's a thing where people are OK using a thing when it only hurts Black folk, but when it starts hurting non-Black folk too, they're like "How could you?!" and expect Black folk to stop it ASAP.
Almost every system in the US that Black folk engage with is already genocidally hostile against us. The US education system, criminal justice system, hospitals, etc.
More folk try to get Black folk to stop using Twitter, than try to make Mastodon welcoming.
a Mystery Mystery randomizer run, and if I have time afterward, continuing Super Lesbian Animal RPG

if you really want to start being informed on the topic, start in the place most others do:

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town yeah, "neural networks" that we tried to make work like our understanding of neurons are the kind that we abandoned in the late 20th century, because they didn't compute anything useful.
now we just reuse the term "neural networks" for marketing, while optimizing completely unrelated functions.
Now you know!
@Hyolobrika@berserker.town and neither do chatbots.

can we talk about how chatgpt fabricates idyllic cishet families right out of the town in Edward Scissorhands? For both myself and a friend, neither of whom have kids, it decided we each had a heterosexual spouse and 2 kids.
I got a lovely gift of Super Lesbian Animal RPG, the game whose title you can't put as your stream title on Twitch, so now I'm trying it out for the first time! https://twitch.tv/arborelia
Time Machine: The Stream Where You Go Back In Time.
A bonus stream of #silverballcentury where I play #pinball tables from before 1989 that I missed, or that deserve to be seen again

It’s just really difficult to get excited about generative language models when you believe things like “there is such a thing as the truth and it matters”.
I don’t feel like that’s an unreasonable position.

#silverballcentury continues the virtual #pinball tables from 1988 tonight, and there's also a bonus stream on Thursday:

For US trans folks, ProPublica is looking at barriers to gender affirming care. (These are the investigative big guns, so people with good documentation this goes double for you.)

I finished my #msu1 pack that puts Katamari Damacy music in #earthbound -- particularly designed for the PK Scramble randomizer -- and I've given it a name: "Lonely Rolling Starman"
Here it is: https://msu-1.link/starman/
I won at a pinball tournament today
