SERVER NOTICE

We have defederated from X.com.

X.com has served multitudes over the years. However, it is time to move on from an unmaintained, insecure server.

Veteran maintainers of X.com have already moved to Wayland.social, and we encourage you to, too.

so @realty_trends surprised me with this last night, it's too cute not to share T~T

I love how so much of the AI debate is on things like:

* Will AI take people's jobs?
* Will AI destroy creativity?
* Will AI take over the world?
* Will AI be used to make people poorer?

And not:

* Will corporations that use AI get rid of people's jobs?
* Will corporations that use AI destroy creativity?
* Will corporations that use AI try to take over the world?
* Will corporations that use AI make people poorer?

Because these LLMs and machine learning systems and so forth aren't just wandering around randomly out there - they're owned by corporations. The corporations are the ones putting them to use. The executives that run those corporations are the ones making the decisions to pay people less, to increase their profits, to make creative people act as subeditors for LLMs.

It's the corporations, and the ethics-free systems that govern them, that cause these things. They're the ones pushing to have more AI.

The rest of us would be happy just having a bit more humanity in the world.

Happy Pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!

Holy shit: Causal evidence that the Shingles vaccine prevents a significant fraction of Alzheimer's cases. So 1, get vaccinated, and 2 the implication that Alzheimer's disease is a preventable byproduct of viral infection is tectonic.
