Pretty par for the course, when you remember Zuckerberg’s history of stealing photographs of his female classmates to rate them on his hot-or-not website in college.
Women as aesthetic, compliant, manipulable objects has always been the dream.

Next week I'm giving a talk for @nlisn.bsky.social about my research on the workplace experiences of neurodivergent library workers, focusing on the embodied knowledge that they enact while navigating barriers in their workplace and the profession.

I have decided that I am going to try to get back into photography with my DSLR. I've had two days of fantastic photo opps and a few really awesome photos.
No I will not share here. I don't want the machine to take them.
I think I'll set up a digital photo frame at work with my best pics.

Romano is gone guys, there is no coming back. It was weird that they sent down Lazar, but I guess with the last man out of the pen, they wanted to give it one more shot. It's over. And really, it should be over for him, you can't send him out for his sake at this point.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Maybe for my time off, I should take Bsky off the phone.
Force myself back to a time when we worshiped the computer in the room it lived in versus carrying it around the house?

People keep comparing the AI Bubble to the Dot Com Bubble.
I was there for the Dot Com Bubble, this is going to make that look like nothing.
Nobody in the 90s was building nuclear reactors to power GoDaddy.

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

having thought about this for three days, my current status is:
what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

this makes me suspect that one of the routes that AI companies are aiming at is targeting young people. anything that existed when you were a kid feels normal and indispensable. especially if you always used AI to write all your essays for you. and to comfort you when your parents were arguing.

I no longer see job listings in any of the areas that I used to find employment in that aren't centered around AI. Unemployed 2 years now. People are debating this fucking topic like it's theoretical, but it's ruining people's lives in real time as you debate minor points on the issue.
