If Democrats said murdering trans folks was necessary to beat Trump that means the overton window is too far gone and I’d be looking to ship as many trans folks out of the country as I could manage with my means. If and when it reaches that point, US democracy would be too far gone to even consider saving it. I don’t believe it is right now, as flawed as it is currently. Which is why engaging in harm reduction is still worth it.

Oh, please tell me which third party candidate not only has a real shot at this election but is also not just a far-right grifter in disguise.

Trump was already president once and my political work was actually easier because liberals were outraged and could not understand the complicoty of their representatives.

Hope you can look trans and queer people in the eye and tell them their genocide will be worth it in the end because you’ll stop all genocides. You know, after they’re dead and gone.

Looking into this.

Shareholders need to get comfortable not buying a new yacht

That’s some Evangelion shit

It’s a major reason why I only watch independent sex worker stuff now. And even then you can’t be 100% sure…

GPT-4 also often just fails midway through writing an answer, while I haven’t had that happen with Gemini yet (though I need to use it a lot more to be able to provide a fair comparison in that regard).

Just because it’s not human doesn’t mean I can’t show some basic manners. 😅

It seems more expressive than GPT-4 in general and better at itemizing information, but it’s a bit worse at keeping track of context and seems to hallucinate more than GPT-4 (but less than GPT-3). I’m currently on the free trial period so I’ll try it out for these two months and then see if it justifies switching over (the subscription is the same price so that won’t be the deal-breaker). One thing that it’s noticeably better at is researching online, probably because it uses Google as a backend instead of Bing lol.

It’s supposed to integrate with other services, if you use the Android/iOS app, as it can replace Google Assistant entirely and get access to info from other Google services. However, the app is unavailable in the EU and a few other countries as of yet, along with image generation. Classic case of EU favoritism towards Microsoft and not sanctioning it like it does Apple and Google… It’s also rumored that the ChatGPT Android app will get Assistant API integration “soon”, but it’s also not yet available (anywhere, AFAIK). Presumably, even if that is the case, Google can probably add in deeper system-level integrations, given how it’s their OS and their ecossystem.

Gemini Advanced (Ultra) gets it right:

Unfortunately unreadable for me, it’s requiring me to subscribe to FT. I wonder if it’s related to being in a GDPR-abiding country.
