Welfare Birden

From the US, to Russia, to Australia, alive by the grace of Universal Medicine after cancer. Happily queer, newly disabled, always learning. (she/her)

Mayor Mamdani tells graduates at Rikers Island “there will always be a place for you in NYC.”

“If today is proof of anything, it is that you have the power to move your life forward, even when everything feels like it is pulling you backwards.”

@JeremyPoxon @JulianHillMP The more of us who die, the fewer there will be to bother them on their six figure incomes. They do not care and are paid to only half pretend that they do.

The NACC Commissioner accidentally emailing his resignation to the wrong person is inspiring. Even as he ended his run, his dedication to being completely incompetent held strong.

The American class system is how much money you make. The British class system is who your parents are/were. That's the difference. You can't 'move up a class' in the UK. You can only pretend to be more middle class or more upper class.

If you work in a logging factory but your name is Toby and your parents are GPs you'll always be considered more middle class than Liam who got a full scholarship to do literature at Cambridge and is now a surrealist haiku playwright.

“I am Jewish, and the antisemitism I experience comes from Zionists and far-right supporters of Zionism because of my outspoken opposition to the actions of the Israeli state.” @JuAvrilT to the Royal Commission.

Esto es, realmente, un DELIRIO.

Agarraron 2.245 currículums reales escritos por humanos y le pidieron a ChatGPT, DeepSeek y otros modelos que los reescriban. Mismo curriculum, experiencia, estudios... todo igual, solo que reescrito.

Después, le mostraron pares al azar a cada IA y le pidieron que eligiera el mejor: el suyo contra el del humano. Todos se eligieron a sí mismos más del 95% de las veces. Incluso después de controlar por calidad (asegurándose de que el CV humano no fuera objetivamente peor) seguían eligiendo el suyo.

Después, simularon procesos reales de selección en 24 industrias y descubrieron que, si usaste el mismo modelo que el reclutador, tenés entre 23% y 60% más chances de pasar el primer filtro.

¿Por qué pasa esto? Los autores tienen una hipótesis fuerte: cuando le pedís a un modelo que te mejore el CV, te lo reescribe con su huella estilística: sus palabras favoritas, su ritmo, su forma de armar oraciones... Cada IA tiene un estilo propio, como cada escritor tiene una letra. Después, cuando esa misma IA evalúa, se reconoce del otro lado y se pone un diez. Cuanto más capaz es el modelo, más afilada es su capacidad de reconocerse.

Ahora buscar laburo es como el test de Turing pero al revés: en lugar de una máquina intentando convencerte de que es humana, parece que ahora somos nosotros los que tenemos que convencer a los robots que somos uno de ellos.

Somebody said that Australia is a private sector extraction platform that happens to have citizens.

Yes, and normal child behavior is so stigmatized that many parents who might pause at giving their child a device will cave in public because the looks and comments, even for happy baby noises, are unbearable. The entire culture around children in public *must* change.

@talktobnice @SupernovaMomma I think you'll find that any bad feelings ever are actually an illness, and being afraid of real things which have literally happened before makes you sick 🌻. Anyway here are some pills that are almost impossible to get off of.

@missedtheheart One of the few films I've ever just walked out of. Dreck

Recalling the post-election victory lap from these fucking worms about how Australians repudiated Trumpist politics. Now look at you.
