@didichanoch.northsky.social I just read Murder by Memory and the second one on your rec to someone else and I’m devastated that the next sequel isn’t out for months. Do you have more recs with similar vibes? I love Mossa and Pleiti and Becky Chambers, and I’m liking low-stress reads rn

My circus friend maaaaaade me go work out with her today and I felt heavy and sweaty and tired going in, but apparently the handstand gods smiled upon our efforts because we both made big improvements!

I already paid my rent and the tax payment I missed, so surely that’s enough responsibility for one day

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.

Hm. If I’ve only had coffee and I’m vibrating with anxiety, perhaps I should try eating food about it. (Wow, so self-aware, what great selfcare skills, someone please tell my therapist to give me a good grade in therapy)

I don’t want to do anything or go to work or cook food or do chores, I just want to lie around and read my little books and maybe have delicious snacks magically appear before me

She explained that she didn’t have more appts with me in her calendar so she just didn’t remember to check back in, which I understand but also very much think is a problem with her systems that needs to be fixed

I saw my therapist today and we talked about my feelings that therapy has been an unreliable source of support. She cancelled my last session last-minute for a migraine—totally reasonable—but then she forgot about me, which feels bad

I did all this and even took out the trash, which is extremely unlike me

I thought my therapist ghosted me but she just sent an email with an appointment. So now my issue is, how to work through my feelings of being unsupported with a clinician I don’t really trust to support me

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

But speaking of staying in one's lane, can we PLEASE switch the default position from "It's fine to use 'AI' for this thing I'm not an expert in" to "Yeah, I'd be really skeptical of any use cases and need to see strong evidence that it's okay, but I'm not the one who can produce that evidence"?

When someone claims that a mistake just happens in the system, and it's always the same kind of mistake, and it always benefits the person who set up the system... It's not a mistake. It's happening on purpose.

Please, for the love of G-d, don't lie to your lawyer. And "lie" includes "lie of omission," for the record. This stuff always comes out at the worst possible time, and "but you can fix it, right?" isn't a strategy.

This is the type of AI disaster scenario that I ACTUALLY worry about. (1) AI industry oversells the capabilities of its products to score fat government contracts. (2) govt puts the AI in charge of critical shit. (3) AI fucks up, because it has a nonzero error rate. (4) shit, now we’re at war.

My aerial coach asked what I do for conditioning outside of class, and I haven’t figured out how to explain to people the degree to which all my systems collapsed into dust this summer and what a struggle it is to piece them back together

if i am elected, restaurants will be required to post their actual in-store menu on their website and not just a link to a delivery service. the menu may be in the annoying format of their choice but it should be descriptive and it should list what it actually costs to get a thing at the restaurant.

Aaaand the automated payment we paused until we could figure stuff out went through and left us with £10. I’m so sorry to ask again, but I sincerely don’t know what to do (apart from ongoing inquiries with bureaucratic agencies).

You know how I keep saying that "AI" people since the 90s & 2000s all have the same metaphysical commitments & that the best way to understand them is through the lenses of comparative religious studies in new religious movements, mythmaking, & occult studies? I am not now & nor have I been kidding
