Calling this a “rogue agent” is misleading. This software was instructed to do this by a person. It shouldn’t have done as it was told, but it was still told. These tools let more people do more crimes with less skill. They are still tools being used for a task they were built to do.

The tech firm is Modal. Their executives emphasized that it was one of their clients, not them, that was hacked. www.reuters.com/business/ope...

Why did you transition? Right answers only. After decades of repression and deflection (“it’s just a kink, I’m just weird, it’s just a phase, everyone has these thoughts”) I routinely ran into real trans representation IRL and online and gave me the strength and insight to realize who I really am.

Why did you transition? Right answers only. Because the pandemic gave me the time to stop and examine the lack of self I had felt all my life, and also I bought a LOT of the women’s clothing from the Animal Crossing tailor shop and it Awakened Something.

Is it just me or has there been a massive uptick on trans people negging and putting down other trans people on other platforms? To the point where I wonder if it’s actually organic or an astroturfing campaign. To be clear I’m not interacting with the content, well aware of the algo impacts.

always frustrated when people lead with "there are only [x number of] trans kids playing school sports in that whole state!" when talking about bans like... yeah, i'm sure that's true, but these laws aren't JUST about who they narrowly, openly target; they're about terrorizing all trans kids

this shit was always annoying even in cases where it was maybe technically correct, but now with Trump doing lots of unprecedented bad shit the ‘heh, you rube, you fool, politicians have always been corrupt’ gimmick is both wrong on the merits and much more pernicious.

There’s a kind of guy on social media who acts like you’re a moron for believing in gradations. You say we’re teetering on fascism, they go “umm we were founded on genocide” You say Musk is having a racist breakdown they go “umm he was always racist” Truthers for the concept of things getting worse.
