one day this will be recognised as an utterly shameful campaign to purge trans people from society, and we will have to ask how the views of a tiny fringe of extremists became the consensus of our press, government and regulatory bodies

Equality and Human Rights Commission@equalityhumanright.bsky.social · 8h ago

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

there is no such thing as an autonomous computer program, programs do not have a will of their own, they do exactly as they are told

After Anthropic and OpenAI both admitted to their AI models hacking other companies, @lorenzofb.bsky.social and I wanted to find out: Who is legally to blame when an autonomous AI agent hacks something? Lawyers say it's really complicated! Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260803...

might be misremembering but I thought "left leaning people love lockdowns" was something hitherto espoused by right wing cranks, not something centre/left people took seriously. very obviously nobody *liked* lockdown

becoming abundantly clear that the speech and editing sensibilities of short form video are incredibly effective at bypassing people's critical faculties, even in material with much longer runtimes

tech dudes will keep watching the backlash faced by people in other fields for using AI and thinking "that won't happen to me, I'm special" like they always have done

again if you can get past his attention-hijacking editing style and listen to the actual quality of his arguments, this is glaringly obvious

Ben@cinemashoebox.bsky.social · 5d ago

anyway this particular bit of phrasing in his statement is a backhanded, weaselworded "admission" that he clearly has in fact been using it for lots of stuff and that's a much bigger problem. like what does this even mean, man. just say "i took my hands off the wheel". this is shameful

is hank green the reason multiple people I know / podcasts I listen to started talking about the jevons paradox recently? if so it's fascinating how some sources act as their own canary trap
