"NSFW" stands for "Not Suitable For Work". It's generally used to tag things that are pornographic, but is also used for things that are violent.
Some confusions we had abt this tag were:
- If you're a sex worker or burlesque performer, or any other job that involves sexual explicitness, couldn't information about that content be **suitable** for work?
- Why is that tag even focusing on the workplace, anyway? What abt at a coffee shop, or any public space? What's the relationship to home use?

NEXT ethics-relevant thing I'm excited about @huggingface is we've created a "Not-For-All-Eyes" tag that can be used to tag Datasets, Models, and Spaces (demos). It's similar to "NSFW", but different.
What's the diff? 🧵

@DocCarms I loved this book and can't wait to re-read it 🙂 If you haven't already, also check out Edith Eger's The Choice.
- Blurring the line is dangerous. A society with counterfeit people we can’t differentiate from real ones will soon be no society at all. If you want to buy a Carrie Fisher sex doll and install an LLM, “put this inside of that,” and work out your rape fantasy — okay, I guess. But we can’t have both that and our leaders saying, “i am a stochastic parrot, and so r u.” We can’t have people eager to separate “human, the biological category, from a person or a unit worthy of moral respect.” Because then we have a world in which grown men, sipping tea, posit thought experiments about raping talking sex dolls, thinking that maybe you are one too.*

ChatGPT prompt of the week ♍️ 🧐 —
"I want you to act as an astrologer. You will learn about the zodiac signs and their meanings, understand planetary positions and how they affect human lives, be able to interpret horoscopes accurately, and share your insights with those seeking guidance or advice. My first suggestion request is 'I need help providing an in-depth reading for a client interested in career development based on their birth chart.'"
@dyownie Yeah, most sensible thing to do right now. The speed is mind-boggling!
@dyownie Looks fun! How often do you use it at work?
On the road for over a month and haven’t listened to a podcast episode until today. This, on primal world beliefs, is worth checking. https://pca.st/podcast/7868f900-21de-0133-2464-059c869cc4eb
@ghibli Excited to see this! Looks amazing!

As some of you who know me may know, I lead a project to document Philippine historical markers in #Wikidata and #WikimediaCommons.
So as my simple way of celebrating #InternationalWomensDay, let's have a look at several historical markers dedicated to the amazing Filipino women from various fields that have made their mark in history. 🧵
