Page from a 20th century IBM manual, that famously says "A computer can never be held responsible therefore a computer must never make a management decision" 

It has been edited to say "A computer can never be HORNY OR SAD therefore a computer must never make AN ARTISTIC decision"

The Nerd Reich (Gil Duràn) is absolutely grim and fascinating, but it is telling how these ghouls grew up as clever, lonely, autistic, isolated nerds and decided feudal monarchy was the answer. Bitches, I grew up as a lonely, autistic, isolated nerd and decided that everyone deserves a good life

Taking bets on what the next British media opinion piece will be. Dyslexia? Fake, just learn to read. Left handed people? Let us bring back tying the dominant hand behind their back and beating children for fun. Redheads are fundamentally antisemitic.

I understand the irony of this, but it turns out the less I engage with being online and the more I just internalise and write about things I care about the happier I am

Imagine if there had been a, say, global pandemic that did not discriminate on infection by age in a demographic who were sent back to schools very early and where post-infections sequelae affect multiple organ systems. God, this stupid smug cunt.

Follow me and the first thing I see is that you trade in hours of AI video and ambience and it's a block. Not to my door. Generative AI is a planet-killing theft engine hollow of lived experience. The bubble will burst, but that's not why we oppose it, we refuse AI because it's morally bankrupt.

This is just going to be a general bitch about getting an autism diagnosis as an adult. About two and a half years ago my GP put me on this path at her recommendation. At this point I was fairly certain (not diagnosed or undiagnosed, but peer reviewed)
