Okay, I’m not trying to focus on anyone in particular, but we need to deal with this rhetoric, because it’s utterly ridiculous and it’s coming from public figures who are supposed to be experts in the field. No computer is about to achieve ‘personhood’. Nobody but grifters or fools believe that.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

Saw Iron Lung last night. It's a weird movie, and I totally dug it. The cinematography and sound design are great. The tiny set is cool. The hardest part was switching my brain from "that's the dude who plays horror games on YouTube" to "that's the character in this movie".

Started watching Bridgerton, S2 last night — and I'm actually glad they split it into two parts, because otherwise I would have been up all night. Anyway, I'm digging the Cinderella-esque plotline. Good times.
