we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

but that LITERALLY just looks like a niqabi or someone in a jilbab. Like Look at this pic of me (from a self photoshoot, now w/o the dramatic lighting and dark background)

or this pic of me

Everyone's always very keen to forget that Shinigami Eyes wasn't actually developed to mark transphobes in general but to help aid the online safety of trans women specifically, and shockingly enough yeah you're more likely to get marked red if you explicitly refuse to oppose the trans cohort of Men's Rights Activists.

However, when the project started, it was explicitly and specifically for ALL trans people of ALL gender assignments and gender identities.

Like. I know that person is right about the use case of the extension now, but they are straight up lying about history here. And really recent history. History most of tumblr's user base lived through on tumblr.

Lots of companies have Room Temperature Rooms? Like, literally any company whose products have an expiry date has to have ( or outsorce) a Room Temp Room in their R&D department. Else how would you know that this great new toothpaste flavor doesn’t accidentally turn into poison in two years.

But you can’t just have ONE RTR. Because what if you sell your toothpaste in Antarctica? Or the Amazon? What if the toothpaste turns evil when frozen? Or melts? Or gets dropped 500 feet off the back of a truck in the Himalayas?

So picture, if you will, a wing of an R&D department full of little rooms, each set to a certain temperature and humidity, each with a rack of toothpaste. Every year or so, a scientist comes in an takes out a tube, and does SCIENCE to make sure it won’t kill someone. Or look gross, or taste weird. Or explode. A lot of toothpaste explodes if, for example, you pretend you flew it across the artic circle (froze) then dropped if off in an Indian street market (melt), then sat in someone’s cabinet for three years (at Room Temperature).

And that’s how they make expiry dates. And why developing a new flavor of toothpaste can take ten years.
