"You may not instantly see why I bring the subject up, but that is because my mind works so phenomenally fast, and I am at a rough estimate thirty billion times more intelligent than you. Let me give you an example. Think of a number, any number."
"Er, five," said the mattress.
"Wrong," said Marvin. "You see?"

a good time to remind y’all

MAYA ANGELOU ―the poet laureate, 3 time Grammy winner, National Medal of Arts and Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree― once worked as a SEX WORKER; both as labor and management.

there’s a whole generation of BLACK nanas and aunties that had to do what they had to do to care for our families. sex work isn't just the sex. many Black brothels were social, cultural, health centers for our communities.

true allies stand by all sex workers.

#Labour going for ye olde misleading graph tactics in the Scottish elections.

Yes. Fine. You'd be the largest party if nothing had changed since the 2024 general election. Shame for you that time is a thing though.

Perhaps the most offensive thing to me of all, is that these LLM-loving AI-boosting idiots who perpetuate falsehoods like 'AI can read minds with fMRI' and 'AI can magically find vulnerabilities' and 'AI will cure cancer' is that we have known this is bullshit for years.

Years.

IBM Watson was launched as a magical cure-all in 2013. By 2022 it had been pulled from everything because despite years of 'refining' and 'training,' following it would have killed over 50% of patients. At it's best.
