I guess things are going as well for me as they have in a long time.

That's. Weird.

HEY, YOU! Uh… would you help a kid out? 🐐

I'm a poor, trans-nb, disabled goat living on a fixed income in a rough place, and could use some comfort for the holidays. I know it's a lot to ask, but, some Christmas gifts would be nice!

Could y'all maybe help me out?

I have been threatening you all with this piece for a while now, and it's here!

The folks at Heat Death have very kindly given me space to talk about one of the things that I find most fascinating about this genre; the way in which we unconsciously treat it as if it's "true" in a Platonic sense.
New, on Heat Death! Thrilled to run this absolute banger from @goldwagnathan.bsky.social, on the bizarre way that concepts from 20th century Golden Age sci-fi have lingered in the scientific imagination, despite never coming within spitting distance of becoming — what's the word? — real
The Fatal Allure of Yesterday's Tomorrows
On the dangers of seeing science fiction as a template for the future.

600/1000 to make rent though I am worried that may be optimistic again. We will see. Still have to order expensive food every day which is tearing me apart, waiting on so many things that aren't under my control....
Thank you for the thread.

350/1000 to make rent. 0/400 to cover my ex's vehicle. 0/??? on misc stuff including more food until I can finally get groceries. I have a job now kind of, but it pays very little and will be a while before I get paid.

Deadline is Dec 1, PayPal is dimmekur@gmail.com

Whether it’s in “New Word Symphony” or “Kiss From A Rose”, any time you hear an oboe in a piece of music, that’s a cameo by the duck from Peter And The Wolf.

people program for the wrong reasons (money, ambition) instead of the right ones (dissociation, building terrible cathedrals, mental illness, plumbing)

UPDATE, I don't know what was going on with this testing environment before, but in my usual environment it's actually been quite responsive, and even *very* good. I passed judgement too quickly!

as a corollary to this you’ll see all these extremely vocal Tech People being like “even considering the use of LLMs reflects your simple evil nature”

but then any decently large gathering of Tech People is like pragmatic discussion of the limits and leverage of the tech
Working for a SaaS company and then logging into bsky is a surreal experience because bsky is all "no one wants AI, ever" and in the meantime like 90% of real customer feedback I read at my real job is like "where the heck is your AI? I'll cancel if you don't add it by next week"
There’s a very surreal conversation I keep having on here where people seem unable to hold two ideas at the same time, and I’m not sure why. It’s simply true that the Big AI platforms like ChatGPT are:
1. Extremely bad for society, in many ways.
2. Very genuinely popular with lots of people.

fwiw virtually every ai disagreement i have ever had on this platform is descriptive. like i think my only major prescriptive disagreement I get into is that i don't think copyright is actually a good thing, the remainder is just me, like, wanting to describe the thing correctly
