Saying this here because it’s important:

When Queer people have to start going back into the closet, you all are going to need to stop accusing random people of shit just because they wrote a queer story or drew two same sex people kissing but don’t “look” or “act” queer enough for your own liking.

You aren’t owed any insight to people’s personal lives let alone their personal relationship with gender or their sexuality and when you question people about shit like that you are risking putting these people in dangerous situations.

You can get people killed. You can get people outed and ostracized. You can get people’s entire lives blasted on public for everyone to see making them, their family and friends unsafe for most likely the rest of their lives.

With how America specifically is going, it’s a very good chance that being queer in public or openly is going to go away again and you have got to keep it to your fucking self when you’re given the right to know someone is queer or not. Just because they don’t preform queerness to your expectation or the way you like to see it doesn’t mean you get to out them.

Some people don’t have the ability to go back in the closet either, so keep your mouth shut when talking about queerness that isn’t directly related to you.

You will endanger people. You will hurt people and if you do this knowingly or uncaring, then you are exactly like the fucking fascists who are aiming to run this country very soon.

What do mean you didn’t follow me for my irresistible yandere charms???

“I once had ChatGPT insist that a particular composer wrote music for a game, even going so far as to list particular songs from the soundtrack that they were supposedly responsible for, and it helpfully provided hallucinatory citations when I asked for them (a broken link on the game publisher’s website and a link to Wikipedia, which did not in fact support its assertion either now or at any point in the article’s history). Nor could I find anywhere else on the internet where someone even mistakenly believed that that composer had worked on the game. ChatGPT lies not because it’s regurgitating falsehoods that it found on the internet – it lies because it invents new falsehoods on its own. It’s not just trained on stuff on the internet that’s wrong; it’s trained to be confidently wrong in general. It doesn’t know what facts are, it just knows how to produce things that are shaped like facts and shove them in fact-shaped holes. I personally wasted 30 minutes of my life fact-checking/“not believing everything it says”, when it confidently told me something surprising. My horizons were not broadened by exposing me to “different worldviews”. This was unequivocally a negative experience for me.”
