A guy in high school yelled at me that I'm "not a boy" and I just stared at him dumbfounded.
Someone told me,"Wow, I've never seen you speechless."
In truth, I was trying to figure out why he was complementing me and then realized that it was meant as an insult,

One of these cult leaders had predicted that the "singularity" was gonna be in 2025. I think we all made it right? Barring anything happening in the next few days.
They'll update their so-called "calculations" (I.e. numbers out of asses) for the next "prediction."
Who STILL platforms these people?

Happy holidays! @jeffjarvis.bsky.social and I spoke with Ben Goertzel of SingularityNET on AI Inside about open source AI, regulation, and AGI’s messy middle. He argues “open” often stops at code. Two moments stood out.

AI is shaking up OnlyFans. Chatbots are replacing the Filipino workers who pretend to be models in DMs with fans, and AI-generated images are so realistic that they cannot be distinguished from real photos

A hidden network handles chats for OnlyFans stars. AI could soon take over
Impersonators for OnlyFans models said their sales quotas are soaring, and once AI improves, they could be out of work.

As it happens this is exactly the argument of a bunch of angry white dudes who seethe with fury because I have had a very successful 20 year career in mainstream science fiction publishing and they haven't. It's an intriguing hypothesis and I wish them joy with it.
You’re so woke you’re probably no longer a ‘real’ white man.

Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself
1. Does this need to be said
2. Does this need to be said by me
3. Does this need to be said by me right now
It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)

I’ve been trying very hard to not be an asshole as I get older. Often, that just means keeping my mouth shut and nodding along.

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

I went to a convention and watched a panel of woman comic writers and producers, some real legends. At the end Q&A a white dude stood up and said "I'm a writer and female characters...[waffle waffle]" and panel members were saying out loud "don't say it" "nooo" "dont ask it" ...
I'd believe this anecdote because I've met guys like this at conventions. People do ask (politely) about their work and they can't pitch it because what makes it special is that they are the specialest boy. They go to panels and hear queer and BIPOC writers talk about their work and think "ah ha". +
