I'm deeply skeptical that I'm conscious and now you want me to tell you whether or not agents are?

Emily Dare @strangetree.maenad.club · 14/10/2026

I’ve been hesitant to show my face online post-FFS. Its taken me a while to work up the nerve, honestly. But here you go: Have some hand-crafted artisanal face.

Well. Learned what my current limits while recovering are this week. Can’t say that has been a fun journey of self discovery though.

It's important people understand this, but it's a red herring. Hypnosis is targeted because OPTICALLY it LOOKS like nonconsent, which makes it the perfect "fringe" target for conservatives to pressure payment processors to ban, with the ultimate goal of banning ALL porn, and queer/trans expression.

Seeing an otherwise lovely selfie that has the tattoo I need a coverup for in it is such a letdown. Ugh. A memory of an abusive asshole still sneaking into my life when I least expect or want it. I need that thing gone and reclaimed into something pretty.

it is very cool (read: very not cool) that "What if the entire regional economy immediately exploded?" is a ballot measure in the bay area because we are in the 'touching the hot stove' era of american history. if you live in the bay area you should vote for the regional transit measure.

The ballot initiative would raise the sales tax rate by 0.5 percentage points in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Contra Costa and Alameda counties and by 1 percentage point in San Francisco, and is expected to generate roughly $980 million annually for the next 14 years to sustain bus, train, metro and ferry lines.

Many of the region’s transit agencies have already proposed contingency plans if the measure fails. BART said it would likely have to end service at 9 p.m. instead of at midnight, reduce train frequencies to 30 minutes and move from five-line to three-line service outside of peak commute hours. Caltrain has proposed eliminating weekend services, closing more than a third of stations and ending operations around 9 p.m. instead of 1 a.m. AC Transit is looking at reducing service by 16%, while Muni said it could eliminate up to 20 routes, cut service by at least 30% and end regular evening service.

The fiscal cliff facing transit agencies was triggered by the decline in ridership due to the pandemic and hit agencies heavily dependent on fare revenues, like BART, the hardest.

SPUR, a nonprofit policy think tank sponsoring the measure, released a report last month that found that if the measure and San Francisco’s Proposition H fail, traffic delays on the Bay Bridge could increase by 33 minutes heading west in the morning and 43 minutes heading east in the evening. Caldecott Tunnel traffic could see delays of an additional 20 minutes in the morning and 27 minutes during the evening commute. Congestion could also worsen along Interstate 580, Interstate 680 and U.S. 101, the report found.

Apropos nothing in particular, some questions you can ask your company's leadership when you have an open Q&A about AI (and LLMs in particular). 1) How is our company defending our intellectual property when copyright around documentation and code written by LLMs is on shaky footing?

In the end I'm mostly disappointed. Technically brilliant with a lot of passion, but Resonant is mostly a Remedy game with the weird, quirky, "cringe" rough edges sanded off. Some *brilliant* performances and bits, but little of the heart that's made me hyperfixate on Remedy games for 25+ years.

Finally tested negative consistently for Covid. On the downside, apparently Covid does not play well with recovering from recovering from having my skull remodeled. My brain was already taking the surgery personally. So in a lot of ways I’ve had my feet knocked out from under me. (Again)

I think that Andon Labs' Vending-Bench is a nice illustration of the "just don't have that dog in them" theory of LLMs. This is a benchmark where an LLM agent is tasked with running a simulated vending machine, and scored on their earnings. GPT-6 Astra recently set the record at about $15k.

This is essentially the decision before voters. Except it should be a giant SUV not a trolley, because if the transit measure fails the SF cable car service will also be eliminated.
