took this stance real early on, have been paying close attention, and i have yet to see a single thing that manages to challenge that opinion even a little bit, rather than solidifying it into diamond-hard conviction
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

I think there’s an argument to be had that intentionally misgendering a person can be a form of sexual harassment.
If a teacher is doing it to a child it can move beyond free speech and into the territory of unethical emotional and psychological abuse.

I strongly believe that adults need to let themselves laugh at stupid, cringey, lowbrow humor frequently to prevent themselves from becoming joyless, cynical husks. Who cares if it’s “juvenile?” Savor those moments of dumb levity in the ongoing hellscape of old age

Remember, always, that the post-Brexit-vote Tory government, and specifically Home Secretary Sajid Javid, deliberately and with malice aforethought reduced to almost zero the timely processing of asylum claims in the UK. They literally created the "overwhelming backlog" that traps people in hotels.

Working on my next Christmas cross stitch design. Going well so far. This one is a Christmas tree. I've designed two more in Aseprite, ready to turn into patterns: a stocking and a pair of jingle bells. #pixelart #crossstitch #christmas

“Libraries generate $3.75 for every dollar invested.” So many public goods are like this. Housing. Education. The arts. However much tax money you invest, you get MORE tax money back. All of these pay for themselves. The only conclusion is, govts would rather make less money than have more good.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.
