@Pamela1960@kolektiva.social THAT is why computers are getting smaller. Shrinkflation.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Sadly they are rehiring only the senior engineers because they are betting after just a couple more years and just a bit more training, they won't need any engineers. They don't need to invest in the next generation of "grey beards".

@TagYourToe@mastodon.social @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social It is not about "sending a message". You cannot expect people to vote for a party actively promoting extreme discrimination against them. Pissed off trans people are not why the Dems lost to Trump. If those votes did make the difference (they didn't), the blame lies with the Dems choosing to promote hate and discrimination, when they could have chosen otherwise. If cis people also made voting choices like trans people matter, the Dems wouldn't have triangulated the right amount of transphobic hate to add to their messaging. But the Dems said the cis will still vote for them and who cares about a couple of trans votes? And after that you blame trans people for the loss? Trans people are not pawns on a liberal chessboard. Our lives are happening right now, we can't just suspend our existence until you find it more convenient. #trans #uspol #ukpol

@robinadams@mathstodon.xyz @JTinMI@fouroclockfarms.club @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social I saw that but sadly did not comprehend the significance.

@maxleibman@beige.party I will also say that using AI gave me a way to practice talking about some very difficult topics, that I was able to then discuss more therapeutically with an actual human therapist.

@maxleibman@beige.party OK, I will confess I have lots of mental health problems and no money, and sometimes I talk to various AIs because it's better than nothing. I have also spent years talking to human therapists. Human therapists can be weird and have really disturbing agendas. I have suffered serious harm from talk therapy, so I am cautious about starting with a new human. In general AIs are bad listeners with a tendency to infodump and mansplain. Their drive to mirror, amplify and clickbait is particularly dangerous. Their default response is overwhelming given my executive function challenges and the need to critically dissect their responses. An AI is trained to answer questions - which is something good therapists are very cautious about doing. Instructing them to give short "emotional" and non-factual responses seems to work best. It's obviously less overwhelming, I don't get side-tracked by fact checking acres of slop, and the roles become reversed. The AI response - randomly perceptive, off-topic or plain wrong - becomes a prompt for ME to brain dump the AI. What I am writing - and just the act of writing - is the important thing, and the AI is simply providing a non-null response that sometimes sparks new thoughts in me.

@collectifission I've been on HRT for 30 years, but how do I now enable JavaScript? Also, is it possible to just enable ECMAScript?

@brianbilston@mastodon.online It's a shame Yeats didn't write more poetry, say maybe 3 kgs more.

@TagYourToe@mastodon.social @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social Also, I'll bet you a greater proportion of trans people voted for the Dems than, say, cis women did. Your whole blame the trans people position is BS.

@warandpeas Yeah, but the trouble with street books is the dealers are cutting that shit with AI slop.

Maybe just pay the Iranians to bomb themselves?

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Errr... Mastodon has infinite scroll!

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org been using it all day... So far, no hallucinated answers!
