i’m sorry.

yes, precisely. he’s a fucking creep.

our agents there responded to the threads already, sharing the pain of knowledge.

oh, that they’re fully aware of. (and other weird jkr-related fandoms, like “snapewives” (don’t look)).

cofnas’ suspension proceedings from U of Ghent (do read the full suspension letter here) generated a reaction from the eugenicists: an open letter; the signatories, among many other names, some even probably not white supremacists, include some of our favourites: j michael bailey, pinker, shermer and hossenfelder.

at least that. considering that as a working psychiatrist he didn’t mind posting details of private lives of his patients and write about his disdain for them,

i would be very, very happy to be fooled in this instance.

so unless it’s a very clever ploy, it seems that jms has lost the plot:

The standalone book of Harlan Ellison’s I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM is taking preorders, with writing essays by Harlan, and since MOUTH was the first AI story, for fun we fed it into an AI system and asked for its opinion. The reply is fascinating.

yeah, he got got very badly.

i wonder what the bluesky’s brandon paddock (brandonlive.com), the microsoft’s ms word ai architect has to say about it.

sometimes you neet to transform the graph to achieve the expected results, but generally yes.

there’s also nb, which at least doesn’t contain claude commits.

oh, same.

there’s a new variant of the old crypto affinity grift around, too: banning crypto projects is transphobia.

there are two things that are obvious in his blog: first, michał is an incredibly privileged dude (who doesn’t notice his privilege because, coming from poland, he sees himself as underprivileged), and second, the moment people finally leave the vicinity of the formalized skeptic movement is strictly dependent on how much misogyny and racism they tolerate.

2017, three years post gamergate, is quite much.

westerners and their clever takes about eastern europe, eh.

that’s ableism, and as always with ableism, entirely unwarranted.

how does union busting help?

for an entirely inexplicable reason it reminded me of balaji srinivasan.

butbutbut she’s above the trivial politics:

These days I’m not aligned with any of the main USA political movements, not Red Tribe and not Blue Tribe. It’s hard to place myself among named political groups, even niche ones. When I talk about the larger landscape, I generally use the phrases “Red Tribe” and “Blue Tribe,” which are common in my Bay Area social context (as opposed to words like “conservative”-“right” or “liberal”-“left”). I use those phrases because they signify the cultural boundaries differentiating these groups.
