"It has an intentionally inflammatory name, Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic (after the Supreme Court justice who wrote the opinion overturning Roe), but it follows standard medical procedures, employs experienced reproductive health nurses and is listed by a national clearinghouse of legitimate medication abortion services."#Religious Freedom Arguments Underpin Wave of Challenges to #Abortion Banshttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/28/health/abortion-religious-freedom.html

You know how X, the site formerly known as Twitter, can't collect your biometric data or other data? 1. Don't login to the site in any way whatsoever.2. Delete your account if you still have it.3. Delete the hidden account that you didn't think we knew about.4. If you still have your Twitter app installed on any of your devices, delete that too.5. Don't be tempted to create a new account.

@grammargirl It helps to start playing with both hands the same notes from different octives.

#BlindPeopleUniteI know many #blind people who use GMail's HTML view. Not only will they be confused but will be unhappy."You can display Gmail on your browser in Basic HTML view until January 2024. After this date, Gmail will automatically switch to Standard view".https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15049?hl=enBookmark this URL to go to basic HTML view.https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/It should still work but doing so will not provide the option to set the mode as the default anymore.#accessibility

@clive I did a 30 page essay in college comparing the two. I agree that Smith's version is way better. I managed to get an a++ on that essay so the prof either agreed or I wrote something worthy of being read.

@clive I went to check after reading your piece. I have it but it's on a 3.5 disk. If I could get it out of there, I'd be happy to share. I wanted to reread it.

I have questions about this post From @killyourfm about Microsoft wanting to sync your Gmail to their own cloud. Will Microsoft have access to these, meaning will your data be encrypted or will Microsoft be able to read and analyze it for purposes other than letting you have access? There are more questions. But we can start with that.https://layer8.space/users/killyourfm/statuses/111177548524347041

If there's such a thing as the Long tail, then #Mastodon represents one of the spikes of that tail. Someone discovering something I wrote months ago showing up in notifications as either favorited or boosted just amazes me. Never happened on the other network.

This story was inevitable. The Pixel 9's AI features have made creating realistic and believable fake photos trivial, and Google's safeguards are astonishingly anemic.https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/22/24225972/ai-photo-era-what-is-reality-google-pixel-9

Well then.“we demonstrate that language models embody covert racism in the form of dialect prejudice, exhibiting raciolinguistic stereotypes about speakers of African American English (AAE) that are more negative than any human stereotypes about African Americans ever experimentally recorded”#Linguistics #AI #Techhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07856-5

@aral Yep. They want to create a system for solving a problem they themselves created and they want others to take on the burden.

This is fucking hilarious.#AI conferences have rushed to restrict the use of LLMs for writing and reviewing research papers in recent months after being flooded with AI-generated slop.https://www.ft.com/content/54e274c5-de86-4b3e-96a9-95a46b5e48a0
