It profoundly bothers me that the vast majority of people in the U.S. DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT SYSTEM AT ALL. It's corrosive and dangerous to have this level of ignorance.

I know the tech industry is high on its own "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" supply but we actually do NOT have to tolerate that and this should not be allowed.

It’s been wild. For months & months, it was copilot this, copilot that. Loads of trainings & surveys about how we used AI etc. But it’s been a slow recede to where I can’t even recall the last time there was any mention. I’m hoping it’s not a fluke.

any interest I could have in AI as something cool (I have been on computer since the 80s, online since the 90s) has been swiftly eclipsed by its corporate purveyors’ strip mining of what I love (writing, reading) and how I love to do it (good labor conditions for all)

There's something in the parallel between AI Agent Sentience and Frankenstein, in that Frankenstein's Monster is also a work of fiction.

View from my couch. The prom scene from Carrie, before things get bad. Sissy Spacek is a white girl with long blonde hair, slightly looking down and grinning. A lit candle and a coloring page are on the coffee table.

I’m sorry but if you think it’s just a matter of annoying ‘discourse’ that slurs are being normalized and that they don’t indicate something deeper, I’m going to infer that you value your ‘freedom’ to use said slurs over anything else. In which case, please block me and leave me the fuck alone.
