I can’t hear the word “beef” without thinking of Jake and Amir: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHIWsvfwcRw

This isn’t half bad.

There’s a fediverse equivalent of bandcamp, it’s called bandwagon.fm. You could upload it there.

I wouldn’t waste too much energy thinking about the ravings of a deranged TERF billionaire transphobe.

Using a multi-method approach, we observed 100 Turkish psychologists’ Instagram practices over 6 months and conducted 20 semi-structured interviews. Findings reveal that Instagram has become an unexpected intermediary in the labor market for psychologists, intensifying to fulfill the three pillars of influencer creep: self-branding, optimization, and authenticity. Psychologists now strategically use the platform as a “visual curriculum vitae,” leveraging its affordances to craft micro-selling points for their self-brand. These efforts also involve negotiating with algorithms, constant optimization efforts, and projecting themselves authentically by trying not to compromise their professional demeanor. Based on these findings, we contend that influencer creep not only alters individual professional practices but also reconfigures the profession itself through four interrelated changes: (a) the expansion of audiences, shifting from small-scale, localized clients to large, mass followings; (b) the redefinition of traditional markers of expertise, where institutional credentials are increasingly replaced by platform-driven metrics; © the alteration of traditional gatekeeping structures, as algorithmic systems take on a more prominent role in determining professional recognition and influence; and (d) requiring a new set of skills such as content creation and algorithmic proficiency, often overshadowing conventional professional competencies.

A “Evolution”

What are the specs and how are you finding the performance?

You could argue that the URLs are not wrong, but that the error is committed by the reader in expecting the output to somehow be based in reality.

I could roll a dice to generate a URL and then say “but it’s a wrong URL!” I don’t think many people would blame the dice.

LLMs only output fan-fiction of our reality.

J. K. Rowling is a transphobe and a bigot.

Tragic, but is this World News?

What about an independent regulator for parliamentary ethics?

Fuck Palantir.

Congrats on double digits!
