Only a few years ago this would have been a headline in a poorly written Sci Fi novel. "The Anthropic CEO says AI company 'cannot in good conscience accede' to Pentagon's demands to allow wider use of its tech and AI for military purposes...." It's this kind of propaganda that SkyNet lives for.

I have aphantasia - whenever I describe an actor or actress to my wife, I have to do it by referebcing the film they were in rather than by physical description.

I have aphantasia and SDAM. We lost our son to suicide about two months ago. Other than crying when I found out, I haven't felt "normal" grief.

I notice a lot of talk by artists about aphantasia. Yet, the only art I see is "comic book" characters (I'm not sure of the correct term...) Are there any aphantasics that do traditional drawing/painting, or is it just illustrators?

Even with all the weather drama at Burning Man this year, I'm still feeling nostalgic. I attended on and off for 17 years, starting in 1996. My last burn was 2019. * sigh *

I’m terrible with anagrams - probably due to aphantasia. Anyone else?

We’re visiting Bonnie Lake (near Puyallup, WA). Here are a couple of shots of Rainier - in the morning and the evening. It’s about 30 miles away.

"A new clinical trial shows a single shot of a long-lasting flu drug may protect people for an entire season, and it might do so more effectively than vaccines...The drug’s promise echoes that of the anti-HIV drug lenacapavir, which protects people from infection for 6 months"🧪⚕️

A single shot of a flu drug could outperform vaccines—and protect for an entire season

Interesting paper on predicting philosophical intuitions and different abnormal modes of thinking (like aphantasia.) Also I learned that the type of aphantasia that has to do with an "internal voice" is called anauralia.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

A local Magat politician: "It is time to honor our flag and our Army’s 250th year. Without that army, we could easily be part of Canada right now,” said Paul Komisarek, chairman of political development for the Lucas County Republican Party." He says this like it's a bad thing...

It was interesting that about 2% of respondents to my post on #NoKings were magats/trolls. A couple were obviously fake accounts (with just a couple of posts, and no other interactions) and at least one other was just there to lie about the numbers. I was surprised that there weren't more to block!
