I want the Machine Learning tool that can spot cancer cells through pattern recognition. I do not want the Copyright Infringer 9000 that generates CSAM.
Sascha Stronach🏳️⚧️, The Sunforge out now@understatesmen.bsky.social · last mo.I've been called a luddite more times than I can count at this point, but it couldn't be further from the truth. I'm a tech enthusiast, I've seen technology vastly improve lives, I just think *this particular technology*, Gen AI, sucks and needs to go.
It’s really something how people get up in arms about accessibility and equity when the thing in question is pervert glasses or Dark Clippy. I don’t see you folks showing up when Ticketmaster says there’s no way a wheelchair user can come to concerts or that sign language is “too distracting”.
I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.
I just read (and reread to make sure I wasn’t misreading) an article repeatedly identifying Jamaica and Japan(!) as parts of “The Global South”. Did the magnetic pole flip?
This, from food safety attorney Bill Marler, is so much better than anything I've seen from the FDA.
Taylor Farms Posted Its Own Recall. It Went to 27 States, Not 5 — and the List Includes Bags Sold in Grocery Stores.
Taylor Farms has posted a recall notice on its own website. As of this morning it is still not on FDA's recalls page, which means the only

Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

I wish as a society we didn’t long for power, & instead aimed to be decent people who care for each other and our world. It’s alluring to see all that money, to be sold the sci fi dreams of our childhoods, the escape, the adventure. Only the worst kind of people use our dreams against us.
Thread on our new paper on arxiv today! We stumbled across a weird sinusoidal systematic that we think appears in every observation from the NIRISS instrument on JWST. We derive a correction and see how much it impacts exoplanet spectra. (1/N) #astro #exoplanets 🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2606.11983
Calibration of an Analog-to-Digital Conversion Nonlinearity in JWST/NIRISS
We quantify an unusual flux-dependent systematic which is periodic in raw counts in flight data from the James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST/NIRISS), used...
