The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, board games, video game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, computers, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, passport services and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit 📚❤️

sometimes I think about how much money has been invested into AI companies and Facebook's version of Second Life instead of stuff like women's health or greater access to public transit in the US and I get really sad

Disabled people are not expendable. Disabled people are not lazy. Disabled people are not “choosing” to be sick. Disabled people deserve healthcare, social supports & accommodation. These are not controversial concepts. Ableism & health supremacy tell you otherwise. Fight with us. Fight for us.

People say "you don't look autistic" like it's a compliment. But at this point I just find it incredibly insensitive. Either you are questioning my diagnosis or you're telling me you think autism is something to be ashamed of. Either way, it's not the compliment you think it is.

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

Autism is starting out with social anxiety and then having your social anxiety get worse as people completely misunderstand you

As the ongoing genocide in Gaza ramps up again I feel so overwhelmingly angry that hurting the feelings of people who support the genocide is considered orders of magnitude worse than the genocide itself.

This June two of the biggest books being published (Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab, Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid) are about queer female characters and are written by queer women. I think that's pretty amazing. There was a time not too long ago this was impossible.

Strange New Worlds scene. We're in the Enterprise corridor. It's white and brightly lit. Nurse Chapel, who also has strikingly white hair, is talking to Spock, both are in uniform. Spock's ears look slightly different than usual, less pointy. 
Closed caption on Chapel, "Um, how's, uh, feeling going?"

Men are wild because they can hear a woman say something like, “I hate men because almost every man close to me has belittled, betrayed, assaulted, or abused me,” and then make themselves the victim in that sentence.

This society truly underestimates the critical thinking skills developed by graduating HS before smartphones existed. I can research things with or without the internet; I can write notes by hand (legibly too), and I can read a physical book cover to cover. I’m basically an endangered species.

For every series of responses an AI chatbot generates, data centers consume about 16 ounces of water. Water stress is already on the rise all over the US and the world. Yet the GOP is trying to prevent states from regulating AI for 10 years.

instead of faking intelligence by submitting machine-generated essays, I recommend faking intelligence the old-fashioned way: by showing a lively curiosity towards the world and improving your mind by extensive reading.

What kills me the most about the "Making Star Trek the Future" set is that the vast majority either don't realize (or don't care) that mankind BOLDLY went and resolved hunger, poverty, inequality and disease on Earth BEFORE they could even begin to consider going "where no one has gone before".

Star Trek The Original Series scene. Spock, Bones, and Kirk stand looking around in an off-ship room. There's a thing on the wall that kind of looks like one of those school water bubblers that shoots a little arc of water. Spock is reading his tricorder. Closed caption reads , "NOW OUR INSTRUMENTS SHOW THAT NO INTELLIGENT LIFE REMAINS ON THE PLANET"

As an autistic person, an important part of my self confidence journey has been recognising that my perspective is just as important as someone else. Other people seeing something one way doesn’t mean I have to or that my perspective is incorrect or not valid if it's not the same.
