🤦🏻‍♀️“New policy to stop use of gender pronouns by public univ faculty & staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state w a long & violent history of conflict w tribes.

Two University of SD faculty members, Megan Red Shirt-Shaw & her husband, John Little, have long incl their gender pronouns & tribal affiliations in their work email signature blocks..both received written warnings”

A laudable contribution to the bear/man discussion. I loved it.

“There is nothing wrong with men. Men are lovable people with the same capacity for empathy, agency, and growth as any other human on the gender spectrum. But when men are socialized to identify their humanness as masculinity and to associate masculinity with power, we get some real problems. These are the problems of patriarchy.”

From my (ancient) viewpoint & lengthy experience, masculinity & patriarchy ARE power- it’s the reality of our world, not a theoretical construct.

  1. The sun slept in today & waited until almost 1 p.m. to show its face…SO HAPPY to see it! 🌞
  2. Grandson on his way to visit, yay!
  3. Watched “my” hummingbird investigate & test a bright orange blossom on the bonsai pomegranate that sits on my patio table. Pretty cute.
  4. Bonus: Vagabond son’s pics from Arches Nat’l Park, Utah.

These pathetic people are so mired in their greed they’ve lost complete sight of all morality, patriotism, humanity — and even their self-interest is ridiculously misplaced as an authoritarian/fascist government will destroy the economy on whose teat they suck.

The only way to fight these tech companies is to never upgrade. They need to be begging for customers, not having customers begging to be treated with dignity. :(

Google blew it. They could have stood back and said: "Ha! Microsoft is so desperate for hype, it is irresponsibly linking LLMs to Bing. Google instead stands for reliable search and won't do that." But instead, Google did. They knew better. They all knew better. LLMs have no sense of meaning. They should be nowhere near the expectation of credibility.

Given the VERY short time it’s been from concept to rollout, it’s no wonder AI is such a freaking, dangerous mess. I really expected at least a couple more years before integration into critical systems. Silly me. If there’s a buck to be made…

JUST A FRIENDLY FYI FOR THOSE POSTING POLITICAL MEMES:

I’ve noted MANY Fedi accounts who have stated they will NOT boost photos that do not include alt-text descriptions.

I also see a LOT of political memes (with excellent & often critical messages) that don’t have alt-text.

PLEASE take the minute or so to include these descriptions. We need all the exposure we can get & memes are a popular & effective aid to communication.

THANK YOU! 😊

(Note: I post a lot of memes & keep pre-typed alt-text descriptions for each in Apple notes so it’s a simple copy/paste procedure when tooting.)

🎈PLEASE BOOST FOR EXPOSURE - THANKS!

  1. Homemade won ton soup last night but made with P.F. Chang dumplings, which I guess makes it dumpling soup. TGTBTASE (Too Good To Be True And So Easy)!
  2. I’m a big fan of Aussie film/tv and of actor Simon Baker - found two newish movies of his: “Limbo,” which was EXCELLENT, and “Blaze” which I saved to watch today. Yay. 🍿🍿
  3. Vagabond son & DIL sent these pics of Canyonlands NP.

Black-and-white image of desert hills with a bare, dead tree as the center focal point. A few clouds dot the gray sky.
Two sedimentary monument structures divided by a U-shaped empty area in the Southwest desert. Sagebrush & mesquite fill the foreground.

Yum.
(“Limbo” didn’t come up on (Prime) search for me, but it did appear in Baker’s list of movies & was rentable from Amazon — weird little glitch.)

The End of all humans alive has several pathways to it, but which gets us there the fastest seems unclear!

Would a sat-nav that runs on regen AI created by Muskrat or Microsoft be able to guide?

Collapse is certainly is in our quite near future somewhere, it is only a matter of how & when?
Or will it happen all at once?

cynblogger,
@cynblogger@sfba.social avatar

@GregDance
Are you asking for informed opinions?

I’m most concerned about collapse of the marine food chain due to rise in ocean temps. Three billion people rely on marine life for food, without a ready protein substitute. The next step in that disaster would be climate migration refugees, and given the political climate on migration now, we would see wholesale death. Add in the rising sea levels, and billions will die.

It’s going to be fast and horrific, and humans aren’t the only species to go. We’ll take with us ALL sea birds & mammals that depend on the marine food chain. We’re already experiencing the Sixth Mass Extinction Event,and rising temperatures, shortages in available water & food will only exacerbate death.

We are so fucked.
