This is great, we've now created a culture where people think they can recognize AI generated text and are accusing anyone and everyone. It's a total leopard-ate-my-face situation.
The overreaction created mass panic and outrage and now we get to suffer through a stage of false accusations that will do nothing to impress skeptics
I am a 27 year old trans woman from the UK and I am hoping to raise funds for my transition. Waiting times on the NHS for transgender healthcare can be up to five years, just for an initial consultation. It is very difficult to deal with my gender dysphoria on a day-to-day basis, so I hope to transition to private healthcare✨
So what you're saying is you think you're better than everyone else who has to rely on the NIH, and are ok with undermining the public system by further empowering the use of private healthcare in your country?
Your country is in the middle of a pandemic. You want wait times to go down? Fix that.

This can't be right. https://twitter.com/Kit_Yates_Maths/status/1791131339023937976
Does anyone running a misskey/mastodon instance know if it would be possible for you to steal someone's profile? May it be by simply deleting and recreating the same username on the same instance but with you in control, or by other means?
I'm asking because I think we could all benefit from a private/public keys system like there is on keybase.io in order to be sure that we are interacting with the right user.
‘Hopeless and broken’: why the world’s top climate scientists are in despair
“The big difference…was that all of the scientists I worked with were incredibly frustrated. Everyone was at the end of their rope, asking: what the fuck do we have to do to get through to people how bad this really is?”
covid deaths are UNDERCOUNTED not overcounted. And when you fuck your body badly enough that you need your lungs to survive, if your lungs are fucked up by covid covid has played a role in your death and especially a nosocomial infection can be the straw that breaks the camel's back. But interesting that you use motorcycle deaths as your example -- because that's my famourite example for exemplifying the risk of a single covid infection. https://twitter.com/jeffcliff1/status/1689398964238376960
”Rocket RTLS landings won’t happen”
who the fuck said that
It's people who muddy the water with antivax bullshit who are directly responsible for any "credibility crisis" scientists are facing. Because once you go down the rabbit hole of accepting anti-vax nonsense, there is no bottom - you have lost sight of reality, and you will continue to spiral into anti-mit nonsense and witch trials.
@kcarruthers Well step #1 would be not posting on an instance that blocks them from communicating with you, probably, or getting mastodon.social to quit blocking so much of the fediverse. If you want to reach people you'll never be able to do so if they can't actually communicate with you. This thread has about 40 replies you can't see.
@sun They are wrong. Copyright doesn't prevent you from naming a standard. They are probably thinking of trademark law but even then they are probably wrong.
@sun No you can't. You can't use HDMI without their permission.
This is why it's important to keep standards like VGA alive -- because HDMI is a closed platform and at the end of the day they can keep people from using technology which they do not approve of with it
at least some of the patents are probably starting to expire
while there's probably some black-box reverse-engineering for some parts of it that will be protected, if they can prove you used any of their specs to do it they can probably get people in legal hot water for doing so given how tightly controlled it is.
