alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 6 days 5 hours

odyver

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 6 days 5 hours

odyver

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 6 days 5 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Controversial take of the month: the idea that "not like the other girls" is and always has been a phrase used mostly by "pickmes" and women who orbit misogynist men that was popular on here a while back was a psyop by big misogyny to shut down discussion about the ways gender conforming straight women violently police each other's femininity. And is also misogynist in itself since it assumes that the only reason a woman might have disdain for conservative ideas of femininity is because she wants to fuck men.

Of course I think it's very important to ask why someone is saying that, what assumptions they're making about all women when they do. Do they think women are unilaterally vain? Deceitful? Shallow? Weak? This would obviously be misogynist. But also, what have they experienced that would lead them to believe that? Do you genuinely believe that the only possible explanation is that they want the attention of men?

This might be me mistaking my personal experiences for universal truths but like. The only times I ever heard that phrase offline was in high school, from the mouths of girls who were in some way rejected by their peers. Girls who in some way had their femininity denied by the popular kids. Maybe they're queer, maybe they're neurodivergent, maybe they're racialized, maybe the popular kids just don't like them. But regardless I think a lot of these sexist preconceptions about women are created by this experience. If your only interaction with other women is having them reject your expression of self and chastise you for not fitting into their traditionalist idea of what a woman is, you're probably going to end up not thinking very highly of them.

"Not like the other girls" is absolutely a mindset most often born from the fact that conservative women police the gender expression of other women. The "other girls" in question ARE conservative gender conforming women!!! It is far more often than not a misguided, naive expression of alienation from one's identity and peer group. And to be clear, it is a mindset that people need to grow out of. Women who have been bullied in this way do need to recognize it for what it is rather than turning the misogyny they experienced back on other people. But rather than recognize that systemic misogyny is often enforced by conservative women because they believe they'll benefit from throwing vulnerable women under the bus, we've assumed that all women who prefer to spend time with men do it because they're vapid orbiters and nothing else. Which is, again, wildly fucking misogynist. And I did feel like I was going a little crazy when this discourse was popular on here. What the hell was up with that?

disabled people are often in permacrisis

there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over

Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️‍🩹🦅

Today is the anniversary of the death of Jonathan Joss (King of the Hill, Parks and Rec). Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who died protecting his transgender husband, on the first day of Pride month. Today we remember him and how he protected his family.

Lmao we have to fucking destroy this company are you fucking kidding me with this shit

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and

Remember that xkcd about how Google searches are shit now? What if we made them even worse for no reason?

I will vote for any candidate who promises to go scorched fucking earth on every tech company. Break every single one of them up into companies based around a single product and then split those in thirds. Weaponize existing antitrust laws to the hilt and pass the most draconian versions of them ever seen on this planet. Nationalize google search specifically. Pass consumer privacy protections strict enough to kill the data harvesting industry for good. Make all of these fuckers go bankrupt for this rent-seeking shit

"i would kill a pedophile to protect my child" ok but would you teach your child how to say no? even to adults? even to adults you like? would you teach your child the words "penis" and "vulva" and then use them? would you let them ask questions about their body? would you answer them honestly? would you learn how to cope with your feelings when you talk about human bodies, so they don't feel ashamed? would you set a positive example for how you talk about your body? would you tell your child they don't have to hug or kiss anyone? would you tell your family the same? would you stand by them when they refuse to hug someone? even someone you know has never done anything to hurt them? would you let your child avoid food they don't like? would you let you child avoid people they don't like? would you believe them? would you sit in the discomfort of not knowing all the answers and not take it out on them? would you love your child the same if someone did hurt them? would you make them feel valued just as they are? would you let them talk to doctors or nurses in private? would you let them express their feelings? would you show interest in their life? would you let your child say no to you? would you help your child feel safe coming to you when they make a mistake? would you apologize to your child? would you believe them? would you put aside your anger to focus on what would make your child feel safe and loved? would you put your ego aside for your child? would you take your child's concerns seriously? would you listen to your child? would you believe them?

that one thread about going back into a burning building to save your beloved pet gives me a lot of the same energy as this -- yeah, it's fun to fantasize about the Heroic Deed that you would commit on behalf of your loved one, while side-eyeing or outright sneering at people who aren't willing to make such grand declarations. but the odds that you're going to be called on to perform the Grand Heroic Deed is pretty low; in the meanwhile, are you performing the mundane, tedious, and sometimes unpleasant day-to-day work of preparing your loved one for this scenario? have you tested your smoke alarm batteries in the last six months? have you trained your pets to go to the door in case of an alarm? do you have a fire extinguisher in your house?
