This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

hey sorry I snapped at you, I've just had a really hard day and [remembers focusing on myself is selfish] maybe it's your fault for provoking me?

hello instagram artist. your challenge is to do a portrait study of a woman but you’re not allowed to stylize them so their eyes are really big and more cat eyed than the reference photo. You’re also not allowed to make their noses more of a button nose or their lips full and pouty or their faces heart shaped with no double chin. Also you have to draw a fat woman. one thats actually fat and not just slightly curvier than the kpop demon hunters body type. good luck

There’s an organization called Advance Peace in Fresno CA that combats gun violence by providing mentoring and social services to people likely to commit gun violence that has singlehandedly reduced our local violent crime rate and recently the federal funding for it has been denied for some reason and surprise surprise the violent crime rate is going back up OH WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS

The city council is considering rededicating the city’s marijuana tax funds to Advance Peace and I sure hope they do because frankly by removing funding from organizations like Advance Peace the Feds are killing people.

Fresno has a lot of gang activity and drug trafficking and a lot of poverty and the population is always growing as the rest of California becomes less affordable. The murder rate in this city has gotten to some of the lowest rates I’ve ever seen in my whole life since Advance Peace became associated with the local government a few years ago and the federal funding being taken away from it is really pissing me off.

Also, it saves the city money. Every murder prevented is a lot of resources the city doesn’t have to spend on investigations and other expenses. Even beyond the saving human life bit, this organization benefits everyone.

You know it’s crazy when something has measurable, tangible results and they still cut the funding for it.

They’re not interested in preventing crime. They never have been. If they were they’d increase the funding for Advance Peace and other local organizations like it.

Matias Karsikas is a sculptor from Nivala, Finland. He works with glass and ceramics, constantly challenging and refining his complex methods. “Working with ceramics and glass feels like home rather than work. These are materials I want to spend all my spare time with. Ceramics enchant me repeatedly with their versatility. Exploring ceramics feels like navigating through complex terrain filled with endless possibilities. Glass and ceramics have an almost magical feeling to me. Opening a ceramic kiln or working with glass blowing often fills me with wonder. Sometimes working feels like playing make-believe as an alchemist when plain earth transforms into gold, the glow of emerald, and bubbling glass.”
