random_walker We shouldn't be impressed by AI research claiming to beat average human performance. People get much better at most tasks with training. If chess playing were measured that way, an engine that played random legal moves would be a success, because most people don't know the rules.

emilymbender I'd like to see the tech media refuse to bite on that bait, when Meta/Google/Amazon/whoever says: we'll give you early access to this paper before we "publish" it tomorrow. If it hasn't been peer reviewed, getting a couple of other researchers to skim & comment is no substitute.>

OrganistSK @texttheater Sowas in der Art gibt’s oder gab‘s zumindest. Zwar kein Grill, aber Dosenfutter mit doppelwandiger Dose. Man stach von oben in den Zwischenraum und startete damit eine chem. Reaktion, die Wärme freisetzte und das Essen kochte.

misandryalex It's been ten years, to the month, since Argentina introduced a self-ID law.

What's changed?

Well… nothing. The article went looking for misuse cases and found 3.
