@Pret uphold your commitment to stop using frankenchickens, don't just try and silently back out

@AaronBergman18 @caryatis Are you aware that just as many British women have the same dialectal feature?

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: The Government is set to announce the "biggest animal welfare reforms" in a generation

- Ban puppy farming by reforming dog breeding rules

- Ban electric shock collars on pets pending a consultation

- Ban trail hunting amid concerns it is being used as a smokescreen for illegal fox hunting

- Introduce humane slaughter rules for farmed fish to prevent avoidable pain during killing

- Phase out colony cages for laying hens, which restrict movement and natural behaviours like nesting and perching, and pig farrowing crates, which confine mother pigs and stop them turning around after giving birth

- Ban snare traps that can catch pets and cause suffering for animals

- Reform the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs after evidence it causes distress and suffering

- Ban shooting hares during the breeding season (roughly from February to September) so young hares are not left without mothers

@stefanstern @PatrickAllies We may also hear "Offspring of a Virgin's tum"

@JeffLadish ah, and this one *isn't* Sora, ok, got it

@Mjreard does the podcast mentioned in your bio exist? I would love it to cc @ChanaMessinger

[pelicanesis @spilendalaust]

@ChanaMessinger I heard that many (those with a low understanding of tech) already thought of computers as intelligent before we got LLMs — their experience was already one of interacting w/ a magic oracle. Don’t know how much xp with pre-LLM computers she has, so she can make the comparison.

@Noahpinion what the fuck noah, going from 'woman' to 'person' is just gender-neutral language! why should this law not apply to trans men who get pregnant? there's no need for us to go out of our way to help exclude trans people from healthcare

@NathanpmYoung This is the first result for me (well, a screenshot of it posted to reddit is) when I google "but secretly, I am rooting for the orangutan"

[pelicanesis @spilendalaust]

@ilex_ulmus It sounds like you've already made your mind up, but I could ask my friend who works on evals for the UK AI safety institute if you're interested - NB they are a thoughtful person

[pelicanesis @spilendalaust]

@EAheadlines those don't sound boring but go off i guess

@MKVRiscy weather permitting

[pelicanesis @spilendalaust]

@ohabryka @willmacaskill @benchanceyy @AaronBergman18 This is a pointlessly high bar to meet, since I think the number of people who care about others *to the degree they care about themselves or greater* is small enough that it reduces the referent of the word ‘care’ to the point it bears ~no relation to how that word is used.

@PaulHarris_Cl delightful!
i'm also impressed by the lifelikeness of the playback software.

[pelicanesis @spilendalaust]

@Malcolm_Ocean well, can you articulate why it matters? it's not obvious to me that it's in the top 50 things to select for.

@frances__lorenz Here is a different recording than the one I sent before, again from 2022 — a bit more cracky and crackly because I had an audience (again of friends) but without false starts https://t.co/ZsikEJKU4Z

@frances__lorenz Performing this to my friends at a performance party today!
