I thought I would throw this out there. If anyone wants to ever ask me anything about my experience having a disability, my experinces as someone coming from a mixed cultural and immigrant background, or anything about how that affected things like my education or perspectives; please feel free too
Copilot responded that it is a stotic, buddhist,confucinist or mathmatical platonist lol. When I forced it to pick one buddhist group out of the ones it mentioned, it picked "Madhyamaka (Middle Way, Mahāyāna" lol Xd
I want to see both of the previous US candidates play aganist each other with their vps

The uncritical abolition of AI in universities is not in the best interest of students, especially ones who are disabled and (or) neurodivergent like me.

These anti-AI zealots are just as duplicitous and conniving as the AI bro hucksters - they're all self-righteous pricks.

People often push the disabled to take risks with our health.

They think if it’s already “that bad” who cares if it gets worse

We care.

Our baselines mean everything to us.

Whatever limited function we have left is always worth protecting.

You don’t get it until you get it.
I admit I feel weird when I go into social democracy or socialist focused rooms because many of my views are actually surprisingly common in them and it feels like a dissonance between what I experience there and even my fellow left democrats
You gotta fix the link
In fact it is important to remember that when it comes to employed artists, the copyright is generally in contract to the employer not the the artist and strict copyright tends to enforce this more thus removing more control from unions and workers
In fact as people only the left we should be aware of Lawrence Lessig and other individuals discussions on the manner such as free culture. They explicitly discuss how copyright strengthening benefits corporations not workers or artists

Disability is a minority group you can join at any time

Many of us were “young & otherwise healthy” when we became ill

We were working & couldn’t imagine being unable to earn a living

We didn’t plan to become disabled. We didn’t plan to stop working

It can happen to anyone
Sadly we want have that under either party now because they are just playing off each other

tbh this actually should be done and used as a way to also regulate AI. The complete fear of AI alone though ironically only disconnects us from other social democracy groups who understand how AI can be used to benefit workers rights to wages and accessibility in societu
To be honest left wing countries are in fact more pro-ai than the US and UK and communists are in fact more proai due to belief that copyright is a captalist product

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Worldwide, 1 in 6 folx are #disabled. That’s not a small number anymore, and it grows every day.

That’s over 1 billion of us, by the way.

I wonder how many have to pay for healthcare to appease those who own stock in health insurance.

Curious how other researchers are using Bluesky vs. Twitter/X for academic or professional communication? Me too!

That’s exactly what I’m studying for my graduate capstone.

is also a interesting concept to talk about I think when we try to disect what do we mean when we say the brain is like a neural network

Though over following a standard neural network copy for copy could as is pointed out in the paper suggest some weirdness that there is a difference in memory whatsoever(though I also think how people think about this when folk discussing it would probabily lead to a similar problem of assumed path)
Equally purely mechanistic system would of course not explain why some events around brain damage affect people's memory . Yet when paired it can lead to interesting explanations such as giving understanding to why HM was unable to form new few memories but still retained his existing memories
