every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women
Tilly Norwood, a controversial AI “actor,” abruptly switched languages during an interview with Piers Morgan, though the company behind the AI creation denied she malfunctioned.

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

Rank and file Republicans are turning against LGBT acceptance and GOP politicians are leaning into bigotry in both rhetoric and policy.
But it is you, the progressive queer or ally, who needs to open your mind and consider other people's feelings.

i'd like to point out that this stunt isn't intended to say "see? we ARE inclusive!" but instead for something for cis people to point at as permission to give joanne hitler money
Warner Bros is reaching new levels of desperation to hype up the new wizard boy show. They’re actively seeking out trans influencers to do promo and there is no hell hot enough for these traitors.

I respect M. Gessen (in theory), but in here in reality, this is SUCH hotdog guy energy. The NYT encouraged these horrors and here we are.
M. Gessen has written a truly extraordinary piece about the "soft fascism" faced by transgender people in America, and by trans people in Kansas particularly. Beautifully written and reported, deeply humane. I really hope you'll read it.

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.
It keeps happening...
It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
