"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

Goodness, so. Decades of accumulated injuries, shitty genetics, and being able to be taken out by a rain drizzle.... I sure as hell yearn for the blessed machine.

Yay rain and cool weather! Now if only my old injuries weren't throbbing in pain, that'd be great

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way

completely unrelated to AI, but this is basically how I felt circa 2016–2024 as a biologist & trans activist
Timnit Gebru@timnitgebru.blacksky.app · 7d agoAt a certain point I have to ask myself if I got all this pedigree and spent decades doing research and building things to then spend the rest of my life attempting to come up with good arguments as to why the Cookie Monster isn't real.
Why are public health care advocates and researchers concerned about Alberta's two-tier model? What happens in Alberta, won't stay in Alberta Quebec already musing that it will follow Alberta's terrible precedent #cdnpoli montrealgazette.com/quebec-elect...
Fréchette says CAQ would allow more private health care to reduce wait times
The proposal would also allow doctors to work in both the private and public sectors, reversing a policy introduced by the CAQ.

Goodness, so, a college friend of mine and I just hung out. Her first reaction was like "Wow, fren, are you doing a white hair thing?" I have officially hit that stage of "old", I guess, lmao

Zoe Tunnell, from Comics@zoewithasword.bsky.social · last wk.WE GOT THERE WE'RE HERE DECADES LATER AND IT IS STILL ONE OF THE MOST LOVELY AND AFFIRMING BITS OF TRANS STORYTELLING IN A GENRE SHOW
Watching the new Harry Potter series is a clear signal that you'll support JK Rowling no matter how many lives she takes. It shows that holocaust denial and destroying human rights groups isn't a deal-breaker for you. It has never been easier to take the right side of history.
Vita Ayala@definitelyvita.bsky.social · last wk.I genuinely am begging people not to watch the new HP show. Like, also don't buy any branded stuff - she makes money off all that. But especially don't watch the damn show.
Welp, I did not expect the ending of a Digimon game to make me cry.
Please. I am begging you. Read another book.
GeekFilter 🏳️🌈🐻@geekfilter.bsky.social · last wk.If you know what JK Rowling is doing & still choose to give money to the Harry Potter franchise, you’ve made your priorities pretty damn clear. I wondered if it was my imagination that HP references were multiplying. Nope! Check out @jessiegender.bsky.social's video. youtu.be/xxD1ekkA7hc?...
I saw this while scrolling through Tumblr and yeah? That's a legitimate concern.
Limited inventories in survival horror games are good actually

It’s kind of hitting me hard that I’ll be moving away from my hometown in nine short months. I have a lot of anger, resentment, and antipathy for this place. Alberta was not a kind place to be as a baby queer. All the same, my heart aches. It’s a beautiful day out. Feelings are weird.
Cold take, but goodness, Martha Wells' Network Effect just slides off the page. 🫠 I love Murderbot so much lol
personally I think the fact that all of the companies pushing AI are hyper-right-wing fascist septic tanks whose leaders love shit like eugenics & transphobia & race science should factor into the thought process before anybody spends their free time glazing their products with philosophy exercises
