AI companies: This technology we’re developing is dangerous and might destroy humanity and we don’t know how to stop it Other people: So we should strictly regulate it, create legislative guard rails, and monitor its development? AI companies: lol no the opposite of all that & give us more money

Screaming into the void but has incompetence skyrocketed? Today’s issues: my accountant filed taxes with an obsolete form, Service Cda didn’t upload the docs I handed them to HQ, my bro’s care home double charged rent. People were paid to process all 3 things, yet I had to fix their errors for free.

Once upon a time… A vulnerable child with complex needs learned to use picture cards to communicate his needs and ideas at school. He learned to use visual schedules, first/then visuals, and social narratives to understand what were initially confusing and chaotic routines in his day.

Does anyone have experience/advice for getting a corporate job as a mask-wearer? In my current field, work is quickly drying up, but I’d love to know if there are large employers out there (I’m in Ontario, Canada) that are still respectful of employees’ decision to mask.

People continue to act like disabled & covid caution folks want to return to lockdowns. We don’t. We want clean air in public spaces. Paid time off. Better access to testing. Free respirators and mandatory masking in healthcare. Those steps would drastically reduce spread.
