Am I an extraverted person realizing that they're essentially a vampire too long cut off from their food supply, or am I just in my 40's in unprecedentedly hostile social times?

These gpt’s are NOT your ~thinking partner~, they are not your assistant. They exist to steal your brilliance at SCALE. Yes, of course, there are machines that are closed systems that aren’t genAI, that actually do support research. That’s not what I’m talking about.

We are looking at two pewter plates with an assortment of large brass and iron keys in various shapes and sizes.

Years ago, I had my first professional job running IT support for the entire Division of Student Affairs at Duke. We had over 200 machines spread across two campuses for which I was solely responsible. This was 1998. Interestingly, we were an all-Mac shop, prior to O X existing. It was in beta.

I got in SUCH an argument with one of my grad school professors over this. Education has value far, far, far beyond how it affects your monetary earnings. (And this was, mind you, in a **Shakespeare studies** program, so, like...... limited direct vocational opportunities, there)

Historic England outsourced their digital image provision to a third-party company. Then the company went bust and now all their images are inaccessible. Tell me again how outsourcing to the private sector is sustainable?

To hone in on actually does make figurative sense, even if its from an incorrect usage originally. It can be seen as coming into closer fine tolerance or accuracy. But language evolves, and if I dont give folks shit for no longer having a then/than distinction or a verbal pen/pin, I'm not on this

So many autistic/neurodivergent women (which I bet describes a LOT of women in the Silicon Valley AI scene) report being *specifically* targeted by sexual predators who take advantage of their issues with reading social situations. Which is why I loathe the “oh, those poor autistic men” excuse.
