The past couple weeks at work have been unbelievably taxing, and not because of any particular work items I was assigned. Whatever's inside me that viscerally hates AI finally had enough of it and made a ruckus. Now I'm calming down and thinking about how to clean up after myself.

Using Copilot to summarize an email is an insult to the person who wrote it. A human being took the time & effort to put specific words into a specific order to communicate specific thoughts & feelings to you, and you toss it into a blender and believe whatever the blender says they must have meant.

American Psycho.
It is an excellent movie! Well made, well performed, important stuff going on in it, I have zero complaints about what I saw on screen. Absolutely worth experiencing.
But oh my god. American Psycho. I don't know if I'll be okay if I experience that again.

Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

Why yes, I will delete and repost because I mistakenly used one kind of interrobang (!?) instead of the other kind of interrobang (?!)

I do not, nor will I ever, believe that a university education should only focus solely on what you are aiming for as a career.
I do believe however that most careers should have a trade school option that is exactly that, and that all education should be free.
And No more treating trades as lesser

Dear Santa,
For Christmas this year, I wish to know that I'll live long enough to see Sam Altman tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

Anyway, I've watched the first couple episodes of Pluribus and I am absolutely in love with it.
"Sense8 meets The Prisoner" by a showrunner who is vehemently anti-AI? Hell yeah, how could this possibly not be my new autistic hyperfixation

Does anyone else feel like the billionaire companies behind generative AI are literally just villains from a Captain Planet episode?

You have every right to refuse to use generative AI systems as part of your job.
You will not damage your working relationships just by saying no and giving your reasons. The damage is done when people repeatedly pressure you to change your mind and normalize something that is against your values.

It's been a year since I got my Emotional Support Badger! I won them in last year's MFF charity auction.
They support me emotionally by biting anyone who hurts my feelings.

My legal name isn't unique and isn't one I chose for myself (though there's nothing wrong with it). The one I chose for myself more than two decades ago *is* unique and the one my closest friends use for me. Not clear why the latter ought to be less 'real' than the former.
It is amazing how some people just cannot understand the concept of a consistent, traceable pseudonymous identity.
That furries, by virtue of being furries, are nothing but "anonymous trolls"
like, fuck's sake, this presentation is more honest than our goddamn "bank names" lmao.

Also as I told Talib, I do not go in for the worldview that says people have only one "real" name, and also "Malachite Tiger" or some variation on it is the *least* anonymous name for me to go by. The one the largest number of people would know me by.
My government name would be *more* anonymous.

Was randomly reminded of the time when I lived in the WPIX broadcast area in 2006, and I noticed their new logo looked like the word "cum" when viewed from afar

Ah, the substitute DJ is back on the psychedelic show. Last time, he threw Dire Dire Docks and Macintosh Plus into the set. I wonder what surprises await me tonight.

My music player does not have a Wrapped-like thing. It doesn't have a lot of things besides the ability to play music. That suits me just fine.

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Watching helplessly in horror as my elders abandon reality, burn down my future, and gaslight me into thanking them for it.
You know, the typical millennial experience. Lost count of how many times I've been through it by now.
