@vjoshuaadams A couple months ago I put it on my headphones at work, and then I had to go cry in the bathroom for a bit because that's what it does.

Everybody boggling at the dumbass Roose “Bing wants me body!” thing should really be thinking about how this pattern is going to repeat itself over and over again with other applications of “AI”, like, I dunno, Tesla’s FSD. I wrote about it! Today! https://apperceptive.substack.com/p/llms-anthropocentric-thinking-accuracy

You may have seen the letter, co-signed by hundreds of New York Times contributors, criticizing the Times' coverage of transgender issues. Well, the Times has responded. The letter is signed "Joe & Katie," so I assume that is executive editor Joseph Kahn and opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury. To my mind, the letter is a master class in gaslighting, but read it and judge for yourself. I'll post the full text in a series of replies to this toot.

The presence of the body pillow in some sense convinces her that even after we all get up, she’s still sitting on someone.

In the words of @pauline, “[W]e all torment ourselves with cats that are ourselves.”
Poor tormented Chibi.

check it out, i’ve been learning some cool new facts about the solar system with bing!!
Maybe I should have clarified that genus Carcharodon was the pivot point for the awful joke, sorry fediverse
It’s not that I mind constantly mistyping VARCHAR as CARCHAR, I just wish my brain wouldn’t jump in every time with a pun around “byte.”
Gilla Band killing it in Berkeley last night. It was a pretty male crowd (because Noise Rock is Serious?) but a respectful one; once the good-sized mosh pit got started, a group of small women near me took turns going in, got bounced around for a minute, came out wobbly and giddy.
They didn’t do their breakout hit titled after my deadname but it all pleases without concepts.
Openers Pure Adult did some good work too. Haven’t had this much fun of this sort since Namba Bears in Osaka.

A self-described whistleblower who previously worked at a clinic that treated trans youth came forward today. This is going to be a bigger deal than the usual nonsense. I won't be able to get a post out until tomorrow, so for now I am going to do something I try to avoid and post a link to Fox News, which is reporting the hospital she worked at is under investigation by the attorney general.
Zoomer alert: cafe staff at the Salesforce transit center just killed "Flashdance... What a Feeling" in favor of "My Heart Will Go On" and are amusing themselves with a tuneless sing-along
I start every morning at the mirror putting on face serum while doing arpeggio lip trill exercises, at which point cartoon bluebirds fly in through the window with my brow tweezers
