As a consequence of Biden's support for Israel and its mass slaughter of Palestinians, the Biden campaign is having a hard time finding staff for its election efforts.

Those positions are generally filled by younger people, who Biden has alienated in droves.

Looks like a money laundering scheme if someone actually was "transparent" and drew out their process. But they keep on getting press about them saving humanity in this case.

California nonprofit law is truly broken when OpenAI can be called a non profit. Not that the nonprofit industrial complex isn't broken already. But the dude talking about taking 7T dollars to save humanity is still running a "nonprofit"?

Our paper on the values found in fairy tales from some European countries has been published. We studied how values are explicitly present in tales from Germany, Italy and Portugal using various NLP techniques, but most notably Word2Vec and Word Embedding with a Compass. We visualise synchronic semantic variation to show certain differences based on observations of the corpus, some of them already observed in previous literature. A discussed example in our findings is how motherhood in Germany is strongly related to generosity, whereas in Italy and Portugal it has stronger relationship to wisdom.

We’ve just published an update about this Mastodon trial which has been running for the last 6 months – you can read it here: bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-exte

We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

To me it's just probably the best article of the month. To someone else it's probably the way to get over the mid-life crisis. And it's in a way that inspires, leaves jaws dropped,...

Society ‘disappears’ ageing women. So I harnessed that cloak of invisibility to do all sorts of ‘inappropriate’ things | Deborah Wood | The Guardia...

One of the AI content types I come across the most recently is generated images of pre photography era historical figures.

I get the compulsion, especially for figures we don't often learn about, like women and particularly women in the global south. We don't have many graphic representations of these people, and images are powerful... especially on social media.

But historic images communicate much more than an idea. They show us things about materials and craftsmanship. The things people wore meant something. These generated images give us inconsistent hallucinations about aesthetic and material pasts that never existed. At the very same time you are learning about someone and some time and some place you didn't know before, you are learning lies about those people and those places and those times that it is very difficult to unlearn.

Your memory becomes filled with associations that are wrong, which makes it harder to learn new things from accurate media.

Disinformation about the present is fucking us in a massive scale. Disinformation about the past is many orders of magnitude more dangerous. The past is how we understand the present.

Anyway, this is why reenactment is a serious discipline. And why artists who do historical reconstructions are also archivists, archeologists, anthropologists, and historians.

What's wrong with modifying free software again?

It's sad that when your instance grows, you need to deal with people who unable to do due diligence. Because they are ruining experience of YOUR instance users 🤦

@BlueDot

Note in my screen shots where I answered you you can clearly see hate speech is one of the rules we block for as well. So I offered you proof that debunked both claims of CSAM **and** racism, and despite that you ignored it.

Again, care to address why you are specifically spreading lies I showed you proof are incorrect and lies?

Address this and ill tell you every account thats an alt of mine you'd like to ask about.

@freemo@mastodon.acm.org @louis77 @wild1145 @SrRochardBunson @BobMastodon @oliphant @freemo@qoto.org Emacs.ch being on the <Recommended “Bare Minimum” List>, really? For a single moderation dispute with babka.social in June 2023 where we defended the rights of an Arab Jew to speak out AND resolved the issue with babka.social in consent.

Now we are considered to be on the level of pedophile, and racist instances. We run a clean and well moderated instance since Nov 2022, and mastodon.art decided that we should be in this list because they "don't like us"?

Really guys, if it weren't for the endless hours of work we put into this instance, it is our users I care about and they don't deserve to be treated like this.

> take it up with them (mastodon.art et el).

Exactly, which isn't even possible once you are blocked by them. And they don't even reply to requests via email.

That's not the spirit the Fediverse should be run on, a central authority "mastodon.art" deciding for others who is "good enough" to be federated with.

@SrRochardBunson

Actually Oliphant doesnt use his "judgement" at all. He describes the process he uses. He basically just takes a bunch of instances that have a reputation for being **very** abusive in their moderation process and doing no due dilligance and just says if your on any of those lists (following his rules) you get on his list automatically.

This process includes instances list mastodon.art with no due dilligrance.
