"GenAI does nothing *but* hallucinate. Using the word to describe only some outputs implies erroneously that it's not hallucinating *all the time*."
I keep telling people this and they keep arguing about their anthropomorphic model of how LLMs work as if it were real.

Better transparency than from vendors you pay thousands per year (or per seat):
Fuck offfffffff kids are human people. They need to be allowed to have privacy. Parents shouldn’t be spying on kids.
Everyone deserves privacy and this shit has two outcomes: either it conditions kids to accept surveillance and fascism or it trains them not to trust other adults and not come forward when bad shit happens to them
I've written a thing titled "I once ate whale meat".
It's not about whales.

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine nonbinary Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)
It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.
Boiling it down, every single request stemming from "age assurance" / "age verification" / "identity verification" is part of the slow but persistent fight against general purpose computing (itself but one front in the never ending struggle for human freedom)
The idea that you should be able to do anything without seeking permission from someone else is so abhorrent to some people they demand reality twist itself into absurdities to satisfy their need for authority.
