🚨 TEACHER NEEDS HELP WITH RENT
"Hi I'm Lugh (aka fairydoctor). I work at an elementary school, and I'm currently attending college, majoring in English and Linguistics. This term, I landed an internship with my college's English Department, but it's been hard finding work study.
As of January 6th, I came down w/ the flu and had to take multiple days off from work. I've been bed bound, and this has further knee-capped my finances."
185/800

AI rejection vs "personal footprint"
Saw this argument a couple of times, that I shouldn't expect poor indie dev or poor freelance designer to shun AI because it is not their fault AI exists, comparing it to "personal carbon footprints" (rhetoric created by oil companies to shift blame into individuals).
Look I'm not blaming anyone for the crimes of OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Google, nvidia. But I am blaming them, and I expect you to do the same! It is not about your personal contribution to global warming or your personal plagiarism, it is about you siding with and contracting (even for free) these evil companies.
You can't outsource part of your work to "child labor as a service llc" and then say you are not at fault because the slaves aren't yours and it is not your fault
@Chel It was a very neat space station sim, but I stopped playing a long time ago
LLM debate
I stopped trying to debate software devs on LLMs a while back. Even if they could be budged on empirical grounds, they are explicitly fine with using tools that are themselves deeply unethical
Debating people who look past "chatbot psychosis", the dismantling of the education system, the gendered abuse, the generated CSAM images, the overt attacks on the media industries, or the ultra-right's glee about "AI", by showing them a well-constructed academic study is never going to work 1/n

LOCK IN FOR MY TRANS FRIEND AND READ THIS PLEASE. AND DONATE.
my friend chloe is from kazakhstan like me and here, if you are amab you are forcibly drafted into the military for a year by law.
the military in kz is an abusive, antiqueer and violent environment. it is well documented that people routinely kill themselves or are beaten or abused, especially if they are queer, and the government dgaf.
