Polygonaceae is the buckwheat family. This concludes my contribution to this post

The answer is you can't, and I don't think you ever will, and if you could, absolute fools like this would decide not to accept the results. And at the end of this, I'm disgusted.

He did things that a non-transphobic person could have done, but he did them in ways that only a transphobe would have done without loud and public shame and regret. How do you get an AI to summarize that blindingly obvious conclusion?

And those details are what you need to move exactly one more step up Bloom's taxonomy and really, truly, actually *synthesize* information. All Jesse Singal did was "ask questions". Of transphobes, to transphobes, in the presence of transphobes, in a manner that produced transphobia unapologetically

AI can gather evidence for you. This sad specimen did, in fact, gather all the evidence he needed to conclude that Jesse Singal is a transphobe. What AI cannot do is put all those pretty words into a context of *what* he said and *when* and *how often* and *in what tone* and *to whom*.

And I didn't do that, in the end, because I'm afraid this guy will come away thinking "Oh, so there IS a debate here!"

Samuel A. Cartwright - Wikipedia

I almost started to wade into the comments to try to reason with this sad chump by using Gemini to answer, once and for all, the debate about whether Samuel Cartwright was really racist? I mean, his *critics* think he was, but is that a fair analysis? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_...

But I *am* concerned that, unlike metaverse nonsense or NFTs, AI is hitting an inflection point where otherwise serious people are feeling pressure to take it seriously just because they're afraid of "falling behind". Which is an impulse I understand, but, seriously, folks. This is your future?

I keep seeing people trying to normalize AI being used for "serious" purposes, like as a research assistant in academia. At this time, I'm not exactly "scared" of that happening, because I'm seeing it done so incredibly poorly that no reasonable person can defend its results.

tl;dr: The Serfs referenced Jesse Singal being transphobic in a normal, casual way, like how one would describe the sky as being blue. Rando McEcopsych responded with an AI generated "list" of points and counterpoints for why Singal would not be that thing they he is. I have thoughts.

i keep thinking about this

Come on, now, they *make* most of the impact wrenches right *there*

I've seen several graduation ceremonies since then and I promise, that's sometimes the least horrifying part. ROTC generals doing recruitment from the stage, "entrepreneur" life coaches...doing recruitment from the stage.

Actually, the pastors were doing recruitment from the stage too, I guess? 😁

A game of Hangman doodled on the back of a UT Martin graduation program. Sentiments appear to be less than positive.

@mightybrunstad.bsky.social I don't know how DMs work on this platform, so this is public now. Dunno if you remember, I sat next to you at graduation. 14 years later, I'm cleaning out my closet and I found this. Thought you'd get a laugh. --Dave

Go Skyhawks?

The Adam Drive sounds like the first book by the next Christian incel grindset grifter. "Harness the power that led our first ancestor to build human civilization as we know it. Pursue the Adam Drive. Shun the Eve Influence."

relegate him to the minors until his performance improves

my first thought was "is macklemore going to be the first celebrity whose death i learn about on bluesky" but you're just joshing about i see

The extended laurenverse got me my invite code so I could escape the shit app, so I am indebted to the tribe for 100 nazi sc--I mean, several invite codes

I know that joke was made before in Zach and Miri Make a Porno (the scene where they make a series of porn parody titles) and now I wonder if it's, like, universal or something

I dig a skort...

😠

Only thing that would make it better would be if some of the eyes moved on their own.

spent all day working in the rain and went home to what was *obviously* about to be the most delicious nap on this earth, and then *couldn't sleep*.

i knew my thirties was going to be dominated by performance issues but i was hoping they would stay dick-centered

I hope this email finds you before you know it's looking for you

"What is nature?" the Zen teacher asked me, and I responded, as my daddy had taught, "shiiiiit, nature's how y' find out how cool y'r gun is."

And he nodded, and turned, and contemplated.

For some reason I've had it in my head until this thread that Xeni Jardin was Ella Emhoff until someone said "fifty years old" and I had to go uncork that confusion.

now I have to figure out why I know who Ella Emhoff is (other than the family thing)

strong LeBaron vibes here. this is a cursed post

My only grievance is that now he makes, like, four incredible movies a year. It's Dan Carlin shit. Waiting forever for the next product.
