One of the frustrations about "engineering" as a discipline is that the heart of the actual discipline is about taking care to make sure things work within specifications and requirements, but tech industry gender politics has characterised engineering as a work of disruption and disregard.

i get so fucking irritated by llm mystifiers. it's a loop over a stack of weights. the loop is doing a lot of work. the results are simultaneously "impressive" for an algorithm and a category error by standards of cognition. all the useful outcomes are from search/synthesis techniques, not magic

i saw a guy run a red light today and i was struck by the fact it was the first one i've seen in three months since moving back to australia. in california the last few years that was routine every single outing

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

This passage from One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This can be applied
"Vote for the liberal though he harms you because the conservative will harm you more" starts to sound a lot like "Vote for the liberal though he harms you because the conservative might harm me, too."

I am sympathetic to Silicon Valley guys ascribing human-level consciousness to AI because if I had to talk to people from Silicon Valley all day I’d probably have a real low bar for sentience too

people stare at me SO much less here than they did in sf. and when they do, it's like they just want to banter with / bully me i.e. they still see me as a person i no longer feel like i am summoning some ancient evil into random people at the mall

sydney and melbourne phobes, to the extent that i've encountered them in public thus far, don't seem to do the lingering stare or the threats or the slurs or the following. they do a pathetic little audible scoff. right at the last minute so that you can't see their beady eyes as they scurry away

You won't catch me posting matrix or terminator bits in relation to real-world AI deployment because that would constitute a reproduction and endorsement of the foundational marketing lie that these technologies ought to be conceived of as comparable to the "thinking machine" science fiction premise

“Biological sex as a specific term and concept is a recent fake invention that only exists to attack and exclude trans people” is one of those wild things that is completely true but makes you sound insane to ppl who don’t know it already. Like no, we didn’t say this 20 years ago, you’ve been gaslit

i caught a glimpse of today's UK-style transphobic tele front page in someone's driveway at the end of a beautiful sunny walk and read just enough to feel like throwing up. got into bed at 4pm. i don't know what to do with the fear and anger when mixed together

it's absolutely wild how cheap things are here. and not in a currency conversion way - things that should cost $3 just do. i felt this way when i moved in the other direction, too. over the last decade things in america have gotten very strange, leading to $9 qtips and $12 jars of paprika

if they say something and you say that's not true, your response is still shaped like their frame Your frame has to *contain and explain* their frame, not just contradict it. You have to eat their frame. Like Kirby
