  • There’s a bunch of women specific legislation in the equality act as well.

    For example, it allows for the existence of women only spaces which include gyms, refuges and toilets.

    If you say that women is used in its biological sense, you’re saying that trans men can use these spaces but trans women can’t.

    However, the ehrc is going full terf and saying that despite the ruling that women is used in its biological sense, they think that all trans people should be prohibited from using some of these spaces.









  • I mean the fundamental problem is that humans are dicks and moderation is always needed. It should also be paid, and supported with counciling and recovery time when needed. Dealing with toxic content is a job.

    Federation isn’t very good at this. The tech is great but everyone is a volunteer and there’s (afaik) no global ban hammer so trolls move from one instance to another. Bluesky currently has venture capital to pay for moderation teams, and centralized ban options.

    I don’t know how long this can last without advertising revenue though.





  • This probably isn’t a hallucination in the classic sense.

    This is probably a near copy of a forum post where a user was channeling fight club and trying to be funny. The same as the putting glue on pizza thing.

    And guardrails don’t work very well. They’re good at detection tone but much worse at detection content. So an appropriately guardrailed LLM will never call someone a “fucking ######” but it’ll keep telling everyone that segalis have an IQ of 40 until there’s such a PR backlash that an updated is needed.



  • The important thing about NHS care is that half the midwives are completely insane, and they all contradict each other. They have basically no medical training and are just meant to get someone qualified if anything goes wrong. Instead they go mad with power and use it to bully first time parents into doing what they say.

    Our midwife was insistent that if there wasn’t enough breast milk immediately after birth we had to switch to bottlefed. I don’t think you can figure out the official NHS approach based on anything a midwife says.
