Replying to @Tutanota@mastodon.social
@Tutanota I would add that robust moderation practices and codes of ethics around AI usage are also aspects of online safety. Age verification is just a way for tech companies to avoid accountability for having these in place.

4:48 GO Train from Toronto to Kitchener is absolutely packed, with riders having trouble finding seats. There is obviously a need to run more than 2 trains to Kitchener on the weekend.

You can tell we are at peak disrespect-for-expertise when a regime that, on the one hand, lectures the pope on theology, also has a member who quotes from Tarantino 25:17.

Activision Blizzard needs to understand that in this day and age there is zero chance that I will be entering my password into a box that looks like this. (And I'm being optimistic in assuming that it is actually them, not an attacker using their logo.)

Going to start referring to image-based AI slop as "a picture that costs a thousand tokens."

Replying to @cstross__dup_483@wandering.shop
@cstross@wandering.shop The charge for possession of child pornography focuses on the storage of generated images, but I think it would also be valuable for law enforcement to look into the training data for Grok to determine if it contains any non-generated child pornography. How exactly did the model learn how to generate this?

Replying to @hankgreen@mas.to
@hankgreen@mas.to The most insidious part of the “censorship” framing is the way that it implies that it’s inconceivable for someone to be sincerely thoughtful… the assumption of the frame is that everyone is secretly an asshole and that some just choose to censor themselves
