One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.
Conventional wisdom is a really fascinating phenomenon. We're at the point where "everyone knows" kids were being rushed into inappropriate gender transition.
There are between zero and 10 recorded cases of this happening (depending on your definition of rushed).
Israel's most moral army in the world just can't stop bombing hospitals, and they're out of hospitals in Gaza because of their continued genocide.

We (trans safety network) met with Cass during her research on the Cass review and explained how clearly ridiculous it would be to try and bring haircuts and self expression under the authority of being a "medical intervention".
She went away from that meeting and produced this crap anyway.
Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!
The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.
this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me
A weapon made solely to deny families closure, to inflict psychic damage on entire societies. People planned and built this. They sold it to their superiors. They manufactured it. They loaded it on planes and drones and dropped it on human beings.
The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.

βICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.β - the β¦we rate dogs guy
Still not seen the full judgment, but notably the ET dismissed the harassment claim against Rose Henderson, the trans woman in the Darlington Nurses case.
Yet another trans woman who has been publicly demonised after doing nothing wrong.
Israel is still doing war crimes in the US-endorsed war crimes experimentation camps in Palestine. The murder drones tested on the Palestinians are now "battle tested", and the continued apartheid tests yield great insights in how to suppress any group of dissidents.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
transgender for every member of your family!!!
I spoke in Parliament today to challenge the misinformation from those claiming this tribunal as a 'win' for the anti-trans agenda.
In fact it found Ms Peggie harassed a colleague for being trans, and it dismissed almost all her claims.
It also found that trans segregation is not supported in law.
i don't think you should be getting BAFTA nominations for "audio achievement" if almost all the voice acting in your game is AI, but maybe i'm just old fashioned :)
Looking at the papers and broadcast media today having read the press summary of the Sandie Peggie judgment is wild.
They either havenβt read it or are lying about it.
And then people wring their hands about trust in institutions or bemoan people resorting to social media for news.
You'd never know it from these headlines that she lost all her claims on the actual substance of the case, claiming that trans people must be banned from bathrooms.
'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!'
'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!'
'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!'
the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art.
like. *hate* art. deeply.
Brilliant article. Please share.

The Cass Review is the worst kind of pseudoscience & has at least 13 peer-reviewed critiques of it (all ignored by mainstream media).
Streeting now wants a Cass Review for Autism, ADHD, etc.
I have characterised these as βcontrived authorityβ strategies (referring to the work of Max Weber)

the HORSES affair is a startlingly low bar to cross to see if people actually care about protecting games from censorship of upsetting themes because it's far tamer and has way more moral clarity than a lot of stuff that doesn't get banned. but it's also very clarifying to see who can't cross it
Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.
Under new NHS puberty blocker trial protocols, trans youth are being subjected to more than 50 assessments, intrusive exams, and over 13 hours of intrusive testing - just to access lifesaving healthcare
It demands young people re-live distress & undergo intimate examinations

literally nobody else in the entire retro computing community I've seen so far has done this, and this is a VERY conservative group. fuck John Carmack.

happy transgender day of remembrance
thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly
please live π
The one time I try and take the Thameslink some assholes decide smoking on the train is a grand idea and delay everyone for ten damn minutes, should have just stuck with the tube
IIRC there were rumours and leaks speaking of a planned delay since earlier this year, but the timing of them announcing it DEFINITELY feels calculated to drown out the news of their union busting bullshit
