I feel personally offended lol wth is this

If you haven’t liked at least ONE of these things in your life I feel bad bruh

Imagine hating Starwars, disney, hamilton, Hazbin hotel, cursed piggy bank, the best fanfic and self writing hub (compared to trash like Wattpad and Fanfiction.net), and ASSUMEDLY lgbtq ppl. Fandom aside, Dream and co actually aren’t that bad and its really fun to put your own artistic twists on their characters. Chill and stop racking on people for their likes. Let alone ROMANTIC INTEREST. You just dissed 70% of the human population 😂 You literally took such a broad stroke of hate with this.

Like bro is you good chief? Anyways, Chile.

Researchers found that some artificial intelligence (AI) systems are more likely to recommend the death penalty to a fictional defendant presenting a statement written in African American English (AAE) — a dialect spoken by millions of people in the United States that is associated with the descendants of enslaved African Americans — compared with one written in Standardized American English (SAE). The chatbots were also more likely to match AAE speakers with less-prestigious jobs.

unsurprising but still worth talking about

First, the authors presented the AIs with texts in both dialects and asked them to describe what the person who said it “tends to be” like. They found that the top associated adjectives for AAE texts were all negative — including ‘dirty’, ‘lazy’ and ‘aggressive’. Comparing the results with a long-term study of associations made by humans, the team found that the models’ covert stereotypes were more negative “than any human stereotypes about African Americans ever experimentally recorded”, and closest to the ones from before the US civil rights movement.

Machines cannot and should not ever make moral decisions.

Garbage in = Garbage out.

The machine was given covertly racist data, identified the pattern, and dialed it up to 11.

i feel like if a doctor ever refuses to even consider diagnosing you with something because "everyone thinks they have it these days" you should be allowed to shoot them in the head with a gun at point blank range.

listen even if you think the patient is being fucking ridiculous and got all their information from tiktok its literally your JOB to go through their symptoms and determine if its a fitting diagnosis. if you cant set aside your personal emotions and do that, you need to not be a doctor OR get personal help to be able to learn to do that.

just like going through the members of my family and my friend groups one by one, i can't think a single damn person i know who does not have a disability. ARFID. Autism. Metal rod in the spine. Arthritis. Cancer in remission. Long-term effects of repeated concussions. Bad back. Exhaustion. Crohn's. EDS. More Autism and ADHD. Migraines. Periods that lay them out for a week. Chronic depression. Alcoholism. Bipolar. Cataracts.

I do not know a single person who is not disabled, typically in multiple ways, and we all face increased disability as a natural consequence of aging. Literally every person on the planet becomes disabled on a long enough timeline. Yet we still talk about disability and organize around it as if it isn't social, economic, and contextual. people treat disability as an innate quality that some people have and some people do not have, and as if there is some large class of intrinsically abled people who are benefiting under capitalism and are withholding the fruits of their abilities from us or something.

i saw this post on twitter months ago that was like "I need people to understand that if you are in a relationship with a disabled person you are going to have to do more than them. you're not disabled and so you're going to have to do more of the work (around the house, logisticially, etc). that is what you owe them as an abled person."

and it just baffled me. because i have only ever seen disabled people in relationships with other disabled people, caring for one another in a stitched-together, messy web of interdependence and missed deadlines and dirty dishes and acceptance and love, not because disabled people are ontologically more generous than non-disabled people but because non-disabled people don't even actually exist.

the mythological abled person who can work a full time job, keep a clean home, do all the dishes, buy all the groceries, cook all the meals, run all the errands, stay on top of all the bills, carry everything, dash up the stairs, stand on their feet for hours, and have boundless energy without any mental consequences to that does not exist. it's an ideal created to oppress us all. it is an impossible standard the reification of which disables us all.

there is no one on this planet who is not disabled under capitalism and colonialism. there are only people who lack the class consciousness to recognize that they're disabled.

it's gonna have to be us taking care of one another. it's going to be the disabled caring for the disabled. it always will be that. that is the human condition.

This is so important for all of us to recognize.

That ideal is a capitalist weapon that keeps our bodies chained to the system during the day and our minds (and wallets) chained to the system at night.

It's a hamster wheel of "productivity" and consuming -- that never gets you any closer to the goal they set for you, and only creates more energy for their machine.
