Share your joy, people.
Share your sadness too, but don’t think that you can’t talk about the good stuff when there’s bad stuff going on.
Share your triviality too. It doesn’t detract from the serious stuff.
It *all* matters. We’re all just humans doing human things. Keep doing it.

Right, time to roll up my sleeves (my dress is sleeveless so let’s not dwell on that) and do something productive.. see you on the other side! 🚀

This way leads to humans becoming the flawed version of the artificial ideal.
Make no mistake, people believing AI is conscious is one of the most dangerous precedents to have been set so far.
The door in which that toe has been jammed is bigger than many of us could even dare to imagine.

The more you think about this the scarier it gets. Not just in terms of control and influence, but the precedents that follow from societal blurring of the lines between “personality” and “service”.

Blocked one of my oldest moots because I’m sick of seeing him everywhere manufacturing some moral quest to make himself the bastion of with snide comments and bad faith arguments as ammunition, and essentially spending hours telling trans women to shut up.

Haha, Maya Forstater is chewing bees right now.
We’ve always been here and we will always be here, and if this is how you want to spend your miserable life then so be it, but know that it will never end. There's no finish line for you. No prize. No reward. Just a life of bigotry and disappointment.

Note that @womensinstitute.bsky.social have disabled replies and quotes on the their bsky post on this matter. Because why not twist the knife after the betrayal?
"“My hope is that the message that the transgender community gets from this is not one of betrayal, but is one of our desire to continue to maintain those friendships and that support,...when that anger subsides the transgender community will know that we stand with them."
Nope, it's betrayal.

“I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

I swear on everything I hold dear that I didn’t choose my name because of Janeway, consciously at least, but it’s funny realising how much of a role model she is for me in many ways, through which I’m also realising how few role models I actually had growing up (because role confusion, y’know) 😅

Hire me, please. I need a little nurture and a good (work) home but I’m a dev with decades of experience and I'm really great at what I do, which is a lot. And also if you don’t hire me then somebody else will and you’ll have missed out.

Unserious opinion: the answer to Fermi’s paradox is that the universe is actually teeming with life but it's all dark matter and by some twist of fate we’re the *only* ones who can’t see it.

Last night I realised I needed to buy TP so I left the empty packet in the middle of the kitchen floor. This might seem silly but when I woke up today I thought “why the fuck is that there..” and then I remembered.
And that’s why you find random shit in random places in my ADHD riddled house 😅

I was mortified on Saturday evening when my ex told my sister loudly in a room of people we both know that she has the same number of sisters (meaning my ex and her two sisters) as brothers (meaning my two brothers and me), and now she’s basically acting like it didn't happen. Struggling to process.

Ugh, NDT kinda irks me. The only thing worse than a scientist who doesn’t care for philosophy is a scientist who derises philosophy as not useful and philosophers as wasting their time. Especially when the philosophy of physics is right there as a long standing and fruitful field of research.

Since I haven’t streamed in a fair few years now I plugged my stream deck into my mac instead of my gaming PC and my only question is why didn’t I do it earlier 😅

My slump is starting to lift I think. I just need to get through this turbulence and start rebuilding my life on the other side. Inertia is hell.

I looked at my Huel bottle precariously balanced on the drainer from across the kitchen, and as I imagined it toppling over it actually did in the precise way I thought it would, which was awesome.. but now I have to live with the crushing reality that I am not *actually* telekinetic.

Wolfram really irritates me. He’s so.. condescending. Interrupts Donald Hoffman part way through illustrating an analogy with “yeah yeah I know I did particle physics as a kid” before going off on his own tangent. I couldn’t handle that for long without an aneurysm.
