What's Important @jkzzrd - Tumblr Blog

hey i know no one will probably see this other than people who already know it but. schizophrenic/schizospec people aren't all homeless people talking to themselves or people stuck in psych wards trying to kill everyone or whatever they tell you. for example, i just kinda sit in my room and don't bother anyone like maybe 80% of the time. i scroll on my phone. i watch movies and play games on my computer. i do chores when i (rarely) have the energy. i have a partner who i love and who tries their best to understand me and help me no matter what's going on with me.

yes, i also have a lot of crazy ideas that i believe and i see and hear things that aren't there and sometimes i start freaking out because i think someone close to me died when they're perfectly fine or that someone's coming to kill me or that my pets have been replaced with alien creatures, but i'm also a person with a life and a childhood and friends and i am not a threat to anyone.

and i'm here. on tumblr. on youtube. in real life. i can see and hear what everyone says about people like me. and i'm fucking tired of it.

treat people with psychotic disorders like people. please. it's not hard to do.

Treat people with schizophrenia like people also absolutely applies to people who ARE homeless, stuck in psych wards, talking to themselves on the street corner, and literally everything else

Treat everyone like a person. Especially people with schizophrenia, hallucinations, delusions, or psychosis, who are all dehumanized and stripped of their legal rights far, far more easily than almost any other class of person (at least in the West, and especially in the US, where police regularly kill unarmed people with schizophrenia, psychosis, and other mental health disorders).

And if you feel the need to see some statistics on this before adding "treat people with psychotic disorders like people" to your belief system: Research shows that people with schizophrenia are about 14 times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than the perpetrator.

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

Let’s fucking go

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

5. If the words are Google's, this solidifies the position of universities who demand that all answers from AI are fully cited. If all the in-line citations now have to be (Google, 2026), that's going to make it obvious when someone's trying to use Google as a source. There's still the difficulty with people who are academically dishonest by trying to pass off the AI writing as their own. 6. 91% accuracy is officially too low to use as a source of references, which means the AI can't be used as a source of references either. This makes it less legitimate for such purposes than Wikipedia of all places (Wikipedia might need date/time proof of when it was accessed for the reference to be valid, but at least it is possible to prove the link existed at a particular date and time). 7. This will help encourage the rollout of courses on how to avoid AI search for students who need academic accuracy, because it's statistically not good enough to use. 8. This strengthens the case intellectual property authors have against Google in the EU, as this is proof that an intellectual property transfer took place.

quite callous how the general societal reaction to allegations of child abuse increasing in frequency seems to have been "all these millions of people are lying and faking on the internet for clout, parents are the only real protectors for children" instead of "perhaps there is something wrong structurally with how we treat children"

"why are millennials/gen z/etc going no contact with their parents?" is really not a difficult question to answer

Nonbinary people are so cool I wish our rights were taken seriously haha

stillhereandstillqueer

Genuinely though it is so frustrating that nonbinary rights and exorsexism are not treated seriously at all, even from within the queer community. It sucks that there's not even an option for an X gender marker in so many countries, including in more progressive queer-friendly ones. It sucks that if enben want to get gender affirming care that we're advised to lie about our gender (or lack thereof) in favour of a more binary trans identity lest we jump through a million extra hoops on top of the million already in place for binary trans people to prove we're serious in order to get the care we want/need. It sucks that in most cases we're still forced into some kind of binary and I wish that the issues we deal with were acknowledged more.

knew this woman who used to be a gay man and when he was a gay man he liked ‘ironically’ referring to himself as she/her and so when he came out as a woman he decided the next logical step was to also switch his pronouns to he/him.

insane how people think i can just do things. "can you mail me this?" and get killed by the post office desk workers?????!!!?

saltingthecookingwine

For added context, people who don’t remember the 1980s, there were a serious of deadly shootings carried out by postal workers against their coworkers.

It was mostly covered by the media as a joke, as I recall.

i love the phrase "cruel and unusual." not only is what you're doing mean but it's also quite frankly fucking bizarre

I often forget that people outside of my little corner of the internet don’t see problems related to reproductive organs as gender neutral and making jokes about my very manly uterus won’t go over well with the normies
