Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Okay, everyone needs to ALT text for accessibility purposes but also for muted words (I don't want terrible people turning up on my feed - name them!)

I think you need to read it again tbh

Read the article.

It should be noted that Google has noticed the backlash enough that they quietly published a code that would removed AI results for their searches.

An enterprising person built a default site to search without AI, and the results are goddamn refreshing as hell.

LGBTQIA+ advocates say social media ban will 'cut off' regional queer teens LGBTIQA+ advocates are concerned the social media ban will have a significant impact on queer youth in regional and remote areas of Australia.

Shame and harm at every JobSeeker turn – and now added AI slop The system is so convoluted and stacked against people that even if it worked as intended, it would still be not just harmful, but useless.

Yay was kinda quoted in this article by @amyremeikis.bsky.social !
"“Single JobSeeker [payment] just hit $400 a week. Let me know how you’d go if you were getting that little and were randomly not paid.”

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead The children’s names below appear on a list of victims of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, maintained by health authorities in the territory. As of the end of July it ran to 60,199 names, of whom 18,457 were under 18s. Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the war’s many indirect victims As of the end of July there were 18,457 children named on the long official list of Palestinian victims of Israel’s war in Gaza. Over almost two years, that is equivalent to bombs, bullets and shells killing a boy or girl every hour of every day. In reality the deaths are not spaced out so evenly. Siblings, cousins and playmates are often killed together, by an airstrike or artillery shell. Even children shot by snipers or quadcopters are sometimes brought into hospitals in groups, doctors say. Continue reading...

My mother took Tylenol during pregnancy, and now you can access free PDFs of Fanny Hensel’s complete solo piano and chamber works:

The abstract opens with flagrant nonsense. An LLM has no representation of ideas, certainty, or factuality. "Hallucination" is not an aberration, but inherent in every response. The magic trick is that remixing words somewhat out of context and without understanding can often be perceived as true.

Hello! Do you know if this will be recorded? I know a bunch of Australian students who might be interested, but alas, time zones. No worries if not 🌈
