@Em0nM4stodon In the US, we need to fight against KOSA, which is advancing in our legislature.

The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone

This bill won’t bother big tech. Large companies will be able to manage this regulation, which is why Apple and X have agreed to support it. In fact, X helped negotiate the text of the last version of this bill we saw. Meanwhile, those companies’ smaller competitors will be left scrambling to comply. Under KOSA, a small platform hosting mental health discussion boards will be just as vulnerable as Meta or TikTok—but much less able to defend itself.

The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone

Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online. KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

just had to fire my psychiatrist before we even really got started.

found out he misgendered me during a call with my psychologist. when she corrected him, he didn't apologize. he got defensive and said he "never talked about pronouns" with me, like that somehow makes it ok?? also, I clearly stated to him during our first appointment that I am a trans woman, and have gender dysphoria.

that's not a miscommunication. thats a provider who isn't safe for trans patients. and im not gonna spend my limited energy educating someone who should already know better.

finding affirming mental healthcare is hard enough. we shouldn't also have to fight just to be seen correctly by the people that are supposed to help us.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?
