Local moth fairy loves lämp, more at 11 @elfi@pixie.town

I have been asked to find a Japanese anti-LLM expert to participate in a Japanese symposium on so-called “AI,” and I can’t find one. Internet searches turn up nothing but pro-LLM propaganda. I asked in a Japanese toot, with no luck, so now I ask on the off-chance that someone who reads English might know of a Japanese expert who could make the case against LLMs. Help! #LLM #AI @emilymbender Professor Bender, @timnitGebru Dr. Gebru, have you come across any Japanese scholars/experts writing critically about LLMs? Any help would be greatly appreciated. LLMs are being embraced with a shocking lack of criticism here in Japan.

As inflation, price gouging, and skyrocketing home prices have affected the nation, the city of Seattle has become increasingly hostile to low-income and middle-class populations.

my "LLMs ruined my open-source project" document is raising many questions that are already answered by my document

"Why are they here?" the king said. "I didn't invite any fairies to our daughter's christening!"

"Hush, dear," the queen said, "I did."

"I give the gift of compassion," the first fairy said.

"I give democratic ideals," the second said.

"I give revolutionary zeal," said the third.

there, wrote some code for pending replies so that when you have a reply waiting for your approval, it gives you a nice little note about it, and lets you know you can implicitly accept it by interacting back

this will make things a bit easier for people using client apps that don't yet support interaction policies (ie., every single client app currently); this way folks can at least approve interaction requests without leaving their app of choice

(and and in the image the host is only showing as "localhost:8080" because I'm using the test rig right now)

hey so just to let people in the US know, if you are on SSI and have a disability that began before age 26 (46 as of 1st Jan 2026) you can apply for an ABLE account. this account will let you have up to $100,000 without losing your SSI.

Edit: per @MindmeshLink the requirements are SSI, SSDI, *or* a Doctors Note, if that helps!
