JK Rowling apparently believes a Y Chromosome means you cannot be a woman. Except, there have been cases of cisgender women with Y chromosomes who not only are phenotypically female, they've given birth. Whoops.

in SF i had a friend (@finespline00) who was an animator for movies/games - happy feet, iron man 2 et al he wanted to stream so i pitched 'play league but also make new animations out of league characters' when i watched i was confused why it took so long. it looked done.. 🧵

Call it land theft, Guardian. Call it what it is. East Jerusalem is illegally occupied by a genocidal aggressor, one that is stealing additional land against all international law.
It's strange to be Israel: You violate a mountain of UN resolutions, condemn the UN at every turn, bomb UN schools & shelters, murder UN employees, & then you demand a UN meeting over another country responding to your bombing of their consulate 🤯

Timeline on repeat: • Israel commits massacre • Israel denies massacre • Media says we don’t know who committed massacre • investigation reveals Israel committed massacre • News cycle moves on • average person doesn’t know Israel systematically committing massacres.

I've seen a few people go "what do you mean, Helldivers 2 mocks fascism??? You're reading too much into it!" so let me take you by the hand and shove your nose into it since you're being so deliberately obtuse about it. 1/25 (yes, really)
It's not a "war". A war doesn't involve conversations about whether or not a walled-in population should be allowed to have food, medicine and electricity. If you have that much control over a population, you can't be at war with it. You're just killing a bunch of prisoners.

THREAD: On 29 February I participated in a debate organised by Lex Fridman on Israel and Palestine, alongside Norman Finkelstein, Benny Morris, and Steven Bonnell (stage name “Destiny”).
BREAKING: Palestinian Representative to the UN Security Council Statement: “It has taken 6 months, over 100,000 Palestinians killed and maimed, 2 million displaced, and famine, for this council to finally demand an immediate ceasefire" Listen to his voice. You feel the pain…
Scandalous beyond words: The Biden admin has deemed that Israel is respecting international law and is not blocking aid to Gaza. This certification allows US weapons to continue flowing to Israel unimpeded: “We’ve had ongoing assessments of Israel’s compliance with…
🧵 Israeli warcrimes in Gaza & the West Bank An Israeli soldier Niv Shitrit from the 92th Battalion of the Kfif Brigde published on 23 of October a picture showing him trampling on the head of a kidnapped Palestinian in the city of Tulkarem (1/17)
This is what Jordan Peterson means by enforced monogamy. Women being shamed and bullied by society to be with men they don't want in order to "reduce" violence. Except the violence wouldn't end. Just hyper targeted to one person that he thinks should sacrifice themselves.
.@elonmusk gets his case thrown out of court. Judge rules that the purpose of the suit by the self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" was "punishing the Defendants for their speech."
The UN Security Council has finally voted for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. It must be implemented, now. It is a stain on humanity that it took the deaths of more than 30,000 people to bring this about. We will continue to campaign for peace, justice, and a free Palestine.
how do we as palеstiniаns go on with our lives knowing that the world needs over 30,000 of us dying before they consider stopping it

@ncaipics @RajanBarot24 @turnintoabat Cheque will be written the moment I see proof of no Y chromosome!
the machine cannot be made to understand because of the fundamentals of its nature humans, however, are capable of learning. they just need to choose to don't be like the machine 🦾
it is that lack of skill that causes people who dont know any better to see things that 'look done' like my friend's animations executives will try to replace artists, and it will fail, because both the machine and its proponents do not understand, and cannot be made to
when i was a consultant i learned quickly to not blindly give people what they asked for, and instead to ask why they wanted it and what their end goals were if you don't have the skill to do something you don't know enough to evaluate whether it will solve your problem
it is always so deeply embarrassing to me to see programmers who say things like 'it will get better' because it is not just an indictment of their creativity but of their lack of programming skill. they do not actually interrogate how their tools work. they are copy-pasters
even if you decided 'ok the users will mass-classify outputs as good or bad for us' the unstructured nature of output as parsed through human visual processing means that yes, in some images only three fingers will be visible but that is correct depending on anatomy and shot
if you want AI to get better at fingers you need to teach it what fingers are, teach it that humans have four fingers and a thumb, teach it how skeletons work. you can do that! but in order to, you cannot feed it mass slurry - it must be categorized, marked up, metadata'd
this is the critical key to why "AI art" can never function effectively in workplaces. ML models cannot explain to you why they produced the output they did, because the very nature of their existence does not allow it. they cannot iterate effectively. anyone who's tried knows
i started programming and writing before 1st grade prompted works, both written and visual, cannot do this, because the slurry machine does not *understand* your words. it is going through its statistical model looking for arrangements of data often *correlated* with your words
and you don't always know every detail - the skill is taking the idea and at each stage of progression, applying it to build out the thing you need based on what you have discovered unless you're doing something rote, your skills refine and adapt to the realization at each level
as a lifelong writer, i've put untold hours into developing my craft. visual artists do the same, and if you watch them work, the process is the same the work unfolds. as you get closer to completion you tune the details that you ideated but hadnt seen realized final (rev10):
without that skill, i didn't know what was missing, why it was needed it's the same reason why people who aren't writers look at GPT output and think 'finished'. they lack the understanding of craft required to identify bad or know the effects of it initial (rev1)
every time i thought they looked finished and had achieved the brief, but there was 1-2 hours more work that went into them. and they always looked better i simply did not have the skill required to understand why the animations weren't good enough yet
in SF i had a friend (@finespline00) who was an animator for movies/games - happy feet, iron man 2 et al he wanted to stream so i pitched 'play league but also make new animations out of league characters' when i watched i was confused why it took so long. it looked done.. 🧵
Calling all artists. This is making the rounds. There is hope for us yet!
Thanks a lot sir😊🙏
