Carbrain at its worst.

-Girl crosses at MARKED PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
-Driver runs into her
-Driver gets out of the car and proceeds to blame 17 year old girl for getting hit DESPITE BEING EXACTLY WHERE SHE NEEDED TO BE AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT PEDESTRIANS HAVE PRIORITY AT MARKED CROSSINGS

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Spent five years in Paris, left 15 or so years ago. The photographs Brent posts of Paris are astonishing and hopeful.

Gritty, grey side streets for cars are now green and lively with people. Bicycle lanes on rue de Rivoli?? The only time I saw bicycles on it was the finish of the Tour de France.

yes, i would go as far as saying it is extremely unethical to not use it for content moderation

even if we ignore the ethics concerns about the toll it takes on humans to have to review harmful content (many other experts here can speak more about this than i can!) we're still talking about an astronomical undertaking - one that also has to scale with sudden traffic spikes or user growth

an interesting note re: scaling image moderation. in the past 24 hours:

at least 500 thousand images in posts (not considering # of images, just if an image was in the post)
86 thousand avatars
500 thousand url thumbnails
58 thousand videos.

that's a lot to moderate!

Instead of praying, I'm going to remind people to get their flu shot, their COVID-19 shot (if they can get one), and wear a respirator in public to keep people like Dolly safe from deadly communicable diseases. Don't just pretend to care, show it with your day to day actions.

Will this be the Yankees' last inning of 2025? Probably not, they lead by 3.

Yep. It's why I'm pro-pirate. Copyright trolls like the RIAA, and Sony are the worst scum.

Well, it’s unjust in two ways.

AI steals relentlessly from artists, and the coders who use their art to train the models for profit, are not fined. That’s unjust.

Meanwhile the RIAA, failed to respect Fair Use, and used copyright law as a cudgel to extort money from online listeners. Also unjust.

Huh. As I was saying...

"Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, β€œDo something, b----,” before pulling over and shooting the woman five times."

Picture of a Victorian lady, looking to be in despair, on her knees leaning over an ottoman, one arm cradling her head which is facedown on the ottoman, the other arm dangling down. The top of the picture says: Today's yoga pose is Downward Spiral

Without elaboration that comment is hard for me to process.

If this happens often can you please elaborate on *why* your team thinks your automated system has acrotomophilia?

Or has your staff not looked into the bizarre and disturbing fact that your automated system sexualizes prosthetics?

You have declared that a fully clothed person with a prosthetic leg and eye to somehow be "Adult Content"

Disability isn't "Adult content"

The β€˜Forever Canadian’ Petition Could Bring a Snap Alberta Election | The Tyee Danielle Smith is unlikely to allow a referendum based on the pro-Canada question promoted by Thomas Lukaszuk.

Just read an article from @thetyee.ca - they make the prediction that the Forever Canadian petition could trigger a snap election to prevent it from going on the ballot.

The Preston Manning bit is disturbing.
