really is a motherfucker knowing that if dem leadership/seniority signaled that trans rights were worth standing up for, every single person scolding and berating about how this sacrifice just HAS to happen would 180 overnight to "we draw the line here. abandoning people in need would be cruel"

the story is true@dcellgames.com · 4mo ago

so many games out these days. there's disco elysium but you play as a cleric, there's disco elysium but you play as a girl, they just announced another disco elysium but you play as a girl, we made disco elysium but you play as a girl and there's no stats or disco and sometimes it's a rhythm game

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

It really irks me when people share their 300, 600, 1000 day Duolingo streaks but still don't know how to use Japanese. Here's an explanation for why apps like Duolingo don't work for learning to any fluency. jtalkonline.com/why-apps-lik...

Just also want to note that trans people and advocates for the unhoused have told people for years that Gavin Newsom is trash. If this is what makes people realize how awful he is, great, but I really hope this is also a wake-up call to listen the first time someone tells you who they really are.

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

The Steam Frame starts at $1,059, but it was probably supposed to cost about $750, as the RAM crisis continues to raise prices. https://t.co/Oq9XUHM630

It's weird seeing people go "oh, but they didn't use Gen Ai IN something they just used it for marketing, the promotional art, the written descriptions and website, temporary assets, etc" Like do you think that's NOT part of the overall product? That's STILL part of it. That's STILL using Gen Ai.
