I may be outing myself because I say it way too much as shorthand for acknowledged so what am I missing here

These people worry about 1% even, it’s ridiculous

Yeah - I did kinda cheekily say that they could still tell their boss they used LLMs to make this project work… (by writing the script)

Like at some point someone came to me with this huge idea and he was like “can you help me do this [cool thing] so I can tell my boss I used LLMs to achieve it” and I had to say “sir you need a 50 line bash script” and like…

For a while my job was to help convince others to use LLMs and my role usually was to sit down and see what someone was doing and give advice like “hey no you don’t want this” and my god there’s so much bullshit out there in either direction that I wish people would just be honest

Congrats! So well deserved!

But no joke I and many others would love to hear your podcasts!

I assume you have to hear your voice before publishing a podcast and .. that always gives me the creeps (listening to my own)

Today’s edition of “what do I ask my therapist next?”

Am I trans or do I have profound dissociative/depersonalization disorder? Both? Who the heck knows

I love spreadsheets! I don’t know why I didn’t think of spreadsheets. Time to get a criteria going and then some name examples. Let me fire up something..

What do you mean I have to start making friends / talk to a therapist instead of just blasting it on the internet and dumping my trauma on folks behind a screen?!

With friends like this who needs enemies?

Cis person: “I’m taking this thing to help me feel better about myself and my body”

Trans folks: “me too, it’s great isn’t it!”

Cis person: “no not like that wtf”

I’ve not seen too much yet about transition experiences from folks back home so I appreciate this and your essays - thank you.

The “you’ll get married and settle down” hits a little too close to home 💀

“Testosterone influencer” is throwing me for a loop

Today’s intrusive thought slash realization: a lot of the impostor syndrome I have both at work and personally can go away if I accept that I’m trans and also that trans women are fucking amazing and smart and cool and it’s ok for me to be one of them

Galaxy brain meme with 4 panels

1: not relating to guy friends growing up and becoming a nerd
2: making friends online and not realizing they’re mostly women
3: getting into rust/systems programming and realizing all the smart people I admired were trans
4: oh fuck, it’s me

Approximately all of them?

As a third world leftist I feel like I should return my card as I was totally out of the loop on this one

There’s a lot I dislike about AI but it’s undoubtably that even if the models stop progressing there’s so much people can do with it; I wish the tradeoffs were acknowledged in a way people could talk about them. One sided discussions don’t make sense.

I try to do this all the time when I set up meetings once I realized and it’s so infuriating that most people don’t do this by default

If I have 50 is it confirmation that I have both

I always joked about how one of the hardest problems in computer science was naming things and so I just relied on other people to pick names

I did not realize this would come back to bite the fuck out of me as I have no idea how to choose my own name now
