Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.

Making a Living in the Nucleus

Noteworthy – When it comes to intracellular pathogens, we usually think of those that remain inside a membrane-enclosed vacuole and those that escape into the cytoplasm. Much rarer are cases of parasite that make a living inside the nucleus.

#WeFeedYou

US Liberals will assert that the US previously enjoyed rule of law but that rule of law has since been abrogated by the Trump administration as if the ritualized, extrajudicial murder of Black Americans by US cops wasn’t a bedrock institution of the US since even before its founding.

Begging folks to stop referring to the pandemic in the past tense.

It’s still “during COVID”. The pandemic isn’t over just because you want it to be.

We have no sterilizing vaccine. No treatment or cure for Long Covid. People are still dying & becoming disabled every day because we refuse to adapt

‪I'm totally down with this, in more ways than one 😁.

Some of y’all forgot that guys wearing no identification, driving rented unmarked minivans, kidnapped Americans off the streets in Portland in 2020, and it shows.

After 5 years
I am not tired
of wearing a mask,
and after 5 years
I am not tired
of taking precautions,
and after 5 years
I am not tired
of paying attention,
but after five years
I am just tired
I am just so very tired.

I compiled a short list of anti-AI tools. If you know of others, please add them

Anti-AI tools

Glaze
https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu
Glaze is a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting style mimicry. At a high level, Glaze works by understanding the AI models that are training on human art, and using machine learning algorithms, computing a set of minimal changes to artworks, such that it appears unchanged to human eyes, but appears to AI models like a dramatically different art style.

Nightshade
https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/
Nightshade, a tool that turns any image into a data sample that is unsuitable for model training

HarmonyCloak
https://mosis.eecs.utk.edu/harmonycloak.html
HarmonyCloak is designed to protect musicians from the unauthorized exploitation of their work by generative AI models. At its core, HarmonyCloak functions by introducing imperceptible, error-minimizing noise into musical compositions.

Kudurru
https://kudurru.ai
Actively block AI scrapers from your website with Spawning's defense network

Nepenthes
https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
This is a tarpit intended to catch web crawlers. Specifically, it's targetting crawlers that scrape data for LLMs - but really, like the plants it is named after, it'll eat just about anything that finds it's way inside.

AI Labyrinth
https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/
Today, we’re excited to announce AI Labyrinth, a new mitigation approach that uses AI-generated content to slow down, confuse, and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and other bots that don’t respect “no crawl” directives.

You ruined a perfectly good autocomplete is what you did. Look at it, it's got fascism!

I think trance form Terra also fits this even if she isn't really a catgirl
