@MediaActivist @Em0nM4stodon @ophiocephalic @kat @text @da5nsy @mattjhodgkinson @nick @privacydingus @BillySmith definitely interested to hear more!

@MediaActivist lol, a lot has happened recently but I'm ok. Recovering from some severe burnout. On topic I have a new anti AI article I've been neglecting; should probably open my notes up again

@MediaActivist@todon.eu oh, and obviously interested in you thought on anything you read there haha

@MediaActivist@todon.eu yeah, there's an issue with my hosting I'm trying to get to the bottom of. Either some kind of regular resource spike or a noisy neighbour situation. I'm glad you like the site though! I was pretty happy with the commenting system, got the idea from someone on fedi, I feel like it's the right kind of gentle introduction to the fediverse

@MediaActivist@todon.eu and yeah, feel free to use it to inform your article in whatever way helps (or not of course, haha). I think it's important to fight back against the "flood the zone" tactics being used right now. Anything that brings perspective back to the space is doing good work imo, I'm sure your take will do anything but suck 😉

@MediaActivist@todon.eu so my vps is on the Fritz (just rebooted it), but when it's up you can read my AI one here - I think it might be the most important thing I've written to date: https://gaffen.co.uk/posts/the-matrix-has-you/ Then the one about burnout is here, though fair warning it does get a little dark: https://gaffen.co.uk/posts/wanderstop-the-game-that-gave-me-permission-to-sit-with-my-pain/

@MediaActivist@todon.eu It's a curse! I hate talking about it so much, it sucks all the air out of the room in almost every social situation and it's unavoidable pretty much everywhere... But for that exact reason it must be resisted and consequently talked about 🙃. Interested to see what you have when it's done! My focus is on the social / political impact at the moment and sloppification. Yeah, burnout has really sucked. I'm hoping I'm starting to get out of the other side of it but it's been gnarly and lasted over a year. I wrote about that too in a moment of lucidity last year lol.
