Oh nooooo he looks so dorky and confused just like me!!!
Only a few days left to finish my fursuit and no I'm not nervous, why would you ask such a strange question?
Working on fursuit patterning reminded me of someone...
I should have been an angora rabbit. Then this fursuit would be done!
I'm very happy to be giving a panel at FWA this year 10:30AM on Friday! I'll be talking about my time working on the particle accelerators at the US's largest national lab. Come hang out and chat and bring your questions! Absolutely no math or science experience required.

@keirFox It's remarkable to me how spicy autocomplete has tricked so many people into cult-like behavior.
I believe there are appropriate and ethical usage for generative AI technology. Unfortunately, the majority of the usage is unethical, sloppy, and the models have been trained with theft and blatant resource waste.
Even in my world, I've been asked multiple times whether I was going to use AI in my work. Fortunately, I've been able to push back by describing the nature of industrial controls: boring, reliable, and as simple as absolutely possible. I can't imagine how frustrating it is to work in an industry where you're feverishly being demanded to use an inadequate unethical tool that empty-headed MBAs think will "inevitably" replace you ASAP.

@keirFox@tiggi.es You're right, and honestly? It's brave of you to say it like it is.
Would you like me to show you other ways to spice up the message?
I'm ready for my gross-up, Mr. Camp.

@keirFox@tiggi.es And once that data exists to be misused and misinterpreted, it's a guarantee it will be.
