uspol, trans genocide

Hello, remember how I've said before that they're planning trans genocide in the US? Well, a lot has been happening to move forward on that front. A *lot*.

- The head of the Heritage Foundation, who are behind Project 2025, which I may remind you was *nearly fully enacted* in 2025 despite being huge, is saying the correct thing to do about trans people to outlaw being trans. And that includes outlawing all trans health care (adults too), and considering trans people mentally unfit erininthemorning.com/p/you-out
- Elon Musk, who continues to hold *enormous* influence over US policy, is boosting eliminationist rhetoric about trans people bsky.app/profile/zackbeauchamp
- Annnnnnd the Justice Department issues a memo saying it's time to end all transgender care, including HRT, surgeries, but also even access to gener-appropriate clothing and affects lawdork.com/p/trump-admin-new-

There's more. But that's where things are going right now... and I expect more to be coming.

"You Outlaw It": Heritage Foundation President Announces Intent To Outlaw All Trans Adult Care

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts indicated his organization's position on the PBD podcast.

26/2/20 날씨 이것저것 어제 지귀연 재판부는 특검의 손을 들어주지 않았습니다. 오히려 굉장히 건조하게 군을 국회로 보냈다는 행동만 인정했습니다. 물론 그것 자체만으로도 지난 12월 3일은 친위 쿠데타였고, 내란이었으며, 폭동이었음이 법적으로 확정되어 수괴는 처벌을 피할 수 없게 되었습니다. 하지만 "성공한 쿠데타는 처벌할 수 없다"던 12.12의 선례를 깨는데는 실패했습니다. 오히려 실패했기 때문에 "폭력을 자제시켰다"는 궤변을 받아들였죠. 특검의 공소장과 피고의 반론 전략, 재판부 성향 상 예상된 결과지만 씁쓸합니다.

I was writing a blog post tangentially referencing the book "Weapons of Math Destruction" (which itself points to the unfair and sometimes deadly consequences of algorithms) when a friend shared the link below.

Leaked data from Persona (identity verification) only corroborates the awful extension from the premise of Weapons of Math Destruction and the recycling of bad practices from a decade ago...

From the post:

"The blog [from the security researcher] claims that 2,456 source files expose 269 verification checks offered to government customers, including checks for whether a face looks “suspicious,” and two parallel systems for politically exposed persons (PEPs)."

I wonder what is being used to check whether a face looks suspicious? It's not an AI system that is based on data that inherently discriminates against marginalized people, right? ... Right?

🧠구글, 마케팅용 AI ‘Pomelli’ 업뎃

사진 한장+프롬프트로 고품질 마케팅 이미지를 생성하는 ‘Photoshoot’ 기능 공개!

아직 미, 영, 캐나다, 호주에서 밖에 못쓰지만
오디오 생성도 그렇고, 크리에이터 전성시대?

I/O 3개월 전에도 이정도라니
앞으로 뭘 더 보여줄라고🙈

https://www.threads.com/@choi.openai/post/DU9NF4_gZpC

CHOI (@choi.openai) on Threads

구글이 실험 중인 이미지 생성 도구 Pomelli에 'Photoshoot' 기능이 추가됐습니다. 제품 사진 한 장만 업로드하면, 웹사이트에서 추출한 브랜드 색상·글꼴·스타일을 바탕으로 마케팅용 고화질 이미지를 자동 생성해줍니다. 현재 미국, 캐나다, 호주, 뉴질랜드에서 무료로 이용 가능합니다. 중소상공인들이 별도 촬영 없이도 빠르게 광고 시안을 만들 수 있어 활용도가 높을 것으로 보입니다.

Today's required work fun™ took two and a half hours in a room with, I don't know, a hundred odd people I do not normally interact with. I saw only one other person using a mask, and I do so wonder what a CO2 meter would have reported (I didn't bring mine from home).

But hey, there were tasty sugary pastries. And some coffee.

내 말이 심하다고 생각하면 마인드셋을 좀 바꿔라. 지구 반대편에서 잠도 덜깬 상태로 출근하는 내가 이런 글을 쓰게 만든 당신이 윤리적으로나 도덕적으로나 국제사법조약적으로나 하여간 그 어떤 측면에서 보더라도 나쁜거다. 당신이 내 말을 이해할 수 있을지 모르겠지만, 조금이라도 가슴 한켠이 아파온다면 그 마음을 끌어안고 침대에 누워 오늘 일을 반성하며 잠들기를 허락하는 바이다.

There are days I wonder whether my job, in a few years, will be teaching computer science not to humans but to AIs. In some ways I already do that: my textbooks are in training sets. And some people do participate in RL. But creating an actual curriculum? Is that the next step?

미국 밖의 민주주의 상황에 대해서 미국인들은 조금 미안한 마음을 가져야 한다. 미국은 그동안 미국 밖의 민주주의 국가들이 그 껍데기만 갖춘채 독재정으로 유지되어도 자신들에게 유익이 될 수 있다면 묵인하고 그것을 넘어 적극적으로 지원하였다. 그건 트럼프 뿐만 아니라, 바이든, 오바마, 부시, 클린턴을 통틀어 모든 미국 연방 행정부가 했던 일이다. 그러니 미국인들은 자신들이 국제 민주주의에 기여하고 있다는 근거없는 자신감을 조금 덜어내고 그곳에 미안함이라는 감정을 담을 줄 알아야 한다. 그것도 못하겠다면 그냥 입을 다물던가.
