Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

I planted one stolen hydrangea in the middle of my neighbors’ backyard at approximately 2am with Hayden Panettiere.

Now I’m a complete idiot… but what happens when it comes out that he’s undeniably a raging pedophile? Can Dems at least draft articles of impeachment and maybe get some Republicans on board? Or are we truly in the Bad Place where they’ll go so far as to defend a known pedo?

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans.

President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

One would hope the obvious fact that a crazy racist billionaire can reprogram an AI bot to also be crazy racist in the blink of an eye will make anyone pause just a sec before they open up any other AI tool and treat it as gospel.

Waitβ€”their grand plan is to force Medicaid recipients to work in the fields to receive their benefits? So… they’re no longer just tying insurance to employment, they’re tying survival to what is essentially forced labor? And it won’t work! I honestly cant tell if this is more stupid than it is evil.

I don’t think it’s bleak doomerism to say this, and in fact I think it’s something we should be preparing for now: the man is not leaving office unless he’s forcibly removed or dies.

The President of the United States was at a FEMA funded concentration camp in Florida today selling merch and saying we should arrest the Democratic nominee for Mayor of NYC and also jail some "bad people born here". It is only July and he took office at the end of January. It's here baby

Adoption, Belonging, and the Question of Citizenship Adoptees are proof of the cruelty and carelessness at the heart of Trump’s assault on birthright citizenship.

I’m adopted.

So I wrote about how an attempt to dismantle birthright citizenship could affect adoptees. It’s also about family, community, and what it means to belong.

A reddit post: "Why does my erotica writing AI keep defaulting to yoga and gratitude?" 

Text: I’m trying to write steamy romance, not a self-help book on conscious breathing.

Every time the story’s about to get physical, the AI derails into something like: β€œThey paused to reflect on their emotional journey and honor the connection between their bodies.”

Like… NO. That’s not what we were building up to.

Yesterday, the characters stopped mid flirt to recommend deep breathing exercises and partner yoga. It’s like the AI turns into a wellness coach the moment the tension peaks.

Anyone else run into this? How do you keep the AI from shifting tone so hard? Looking for tools or strategies that actually let the heat build without detouring through a spiritual retreat.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

It’s a pipe dream for sure, but if Dems ever get to have a say in how we run this country, I’d love for them to apply this methodology to gun ownership. Sure, we’ll never take away guns, it’ll just be a huge hassle to procure and keep them. You know, like Rs have done with healthcare.
