I have to remember that, because #Mastodon doesn't have #algorithm curated feeds, I have to #boost / reblog interesting people more often. Liking their posts doesn't make them more visible.Also, if you want to find new people, I use the #Welcome hashtag whenever I say hi to a new person who posted an #Introduction. I try to greet interesting people pretty frequently.Love y'all! Keep being kind! 💜

@lowqualityfacts so that's why I'm heavier when I weigh myself in the dark. 🤔

@calculsoberic @Ewan_Croft I work with the (paid) API, and even that has been a gamble as to if/when it will return an answer lately.

I made some good progress on my paper about uncovering implicit biases in AI art, looking at the Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, and Dall-E generators.Specifically, I tested the following null hypotheses with MidJourney's image generation:1️⃣ Women are not more likely to be depicted in images prompted with 'victim'.2️⃣ Men are not more likely to be depicted in images prompted with 'violent'.And surprise! 🎉 Both nulls were rejected.I would love some constructive feedback or ideas on what to poke at next. 👈:blobcateyesblush:👉 Here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/alicezwatson/bias-in-ai-art#StableDiffusion #DallE #MidJourney #AIArt #research #gender #violence #bias #ChatGPT

Also, it's been a long time since I did research, so if I'm making any errors, lemme know (nicely)! :ablobcatheart:

Fingerprinting in the Modern Browser: Are Privacy Updates Making It Harder to Prevent Fraud? --fingerprint.com 💩 ---Fingerprinting in the Modern Browser: Are Invasive User Tracking Techniques Making it Harder to Not Lose Tons of User Data You Shouldn't Have Been Collecting? --Alice 💜 ---From the article: "regulations like GDPR and CCPA are adding legal hurdles for companies that want to gather user data online. For example, cookie consent boxes are ubiquitous (and rarely implemented correctly), and companies in many jurisdictions are now responsible for allowing users the right to be forgotten." 😮From me: "Oh no! 😱 Whatever will the poor advertising companies do?" 🤷♀️From the article: "Fingerprint is 99.5% accurate at identifying returning users and assigning them a unique visitorID. You can use this ID to associate fraud patterns with specific visitors and block them as needed."From me: "Fraud prevention would be a good use case for fingerprinting, but I've worked in data, with marketing teams, for quite a few years now. Fraud isn't what they want this ID for—they want it so they can profile you, justify their marketing budgets, and A/B test site changes that will make you more likely to subscribe or purchase their product."---Article: https://fingerprint.com/blog/browser-fingerprinting-privacy/FingerprintJS GitHub: https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs#Fingerprinting #Browser #Privacy #Data #Advertising #GDPR #CCPA #Cookies #Fraud #Tracking #Marketing

@TryshHQ you should never trust a corporation or a billionaire to do right by anything except their bottom line.

Hey self-diagnosed autistic folks! Here's your validation 👇 (not that you needed any—you're already amazing :ablobcatheart:)"""Often people seek an autism evaluation in hopes that it will open the door to the support that they need. Unfortunately, many find that the official diagnosis did little to change their practical circumstances. Autism-specific services for adults are severely limited. And if people around you are intolerant of your differences and difficulties, they will not necessarily become more accommodating after an official diagnosis. For many, the best part of learning they’re autistic is understanding themselves better and finding a like-minded community. This can be pursued without a formal diagnosis.In our experience at the University of Washington Autism Center, many professionals are not informed about the variety of ways that autism can appear, and often doubt an autistic person’s accurate self-diagnosis.In contrast, inaccurate self-diagnosis of autism appears to be uncommon. We believe that if you have carefully researched the topic and strongly resonate with the experience of the autistic community, you are probably autistic."""https://depts.washington.edu/uwautism/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Self-Diagnosed-Adult-Autism-Resources-handout-9-22-22.pdf---#Autism #Autistic #SelfDX #ActuallyAutistic #Support #MentalHealth #Resources

That link also has some good resources, though I haven't verified all of them, so your mileage may vary.

Wow, there are almost (edit: we'll over) 400 people following me now. That's crazy! :blobcatfearful: I've only been here for about 2 months.I was active on Twitter for years and had about 300 followers.I've also had more and better conversations on Mastodon, in a fraction of the time.I still post similar things as I did there: be kind, be gay/do crime, value your privacy and data, don't get pwned, fuck capitalism, neurodiversity, and here's a kitten picture.But instead of getting a few likes, I get perspectives and interesting conversations with all sorts of people.I guess this is what we get when feeds are governed by the users, not the algorithms and marketers.I like it here. 💜 And just so this post has some content of value, here is a AI-generated kitten, a "Be Gay Do Crime" meme, and a link to some recent cyber-crime stories (https://cybersecurityventures.com/intrusion-daily-cyber-threat-alert/)I think that just about covers my typical topics 😉 ---#Followers #BeKind #TwitterMigration #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Tech #Privacy #Data #DataPrivacy #NeuroDiversity #FuckCapitalism #Kittens

@nihilistic_capybara I wouldn't be surprised if I was smushed by the algo—I don't tend to kick the hornet's nest, and I do tend to promote personal privacy and call out companies that don't.But then again, maybe I'm just not that interesting. 🤷♀️ 😋

Questions for my trans gals on E; what is/was it like emotionally and mentally in your first few days, weeks, or months? I'd love to hear your stories (if you're comfortable sharing), and I bet there are some eggs out there that are afraid to ask too! 💜Same question for muh dudes on T. 🤜🤛 (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to bro-fist. Is that even a thing anymore, or am I old now?):heart_trans: :ablobcathappypaws:---#Trans #TransitionStories #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Estrogen #HRT

@Terra thanks for sharing! 💜It seems like there's a lot of "now I have feelings" stories here. I wonder if that's a cultural pressure on male-presenting peeps that gets lifted when transitioning to femme presentation, a T vs E brain thing, a opening up when you feel more comfortable as yourself thing?

@lowqualityfacts this is why they make those airplane black boxes and 1 doll per flight out of snail shells—they're guaranteed to survive a crash.
