Someone asked me at a conf once what I would say, as a psychologist and a queer woman in tech who has stayed in tech longer than the classic cutoff at 35, to a younger woman approaching the 35 cliff and thinking about leaving, and I said I would say I'm sorry we failed you and I want you to be happy

One personally frustrating thing about the big AI push is that it forces people to assess it in a hurry, which makes people careless. It kinda smells like a scam to me if someone’s hurrying you along, cultivating urgency in you, well before you know where they’re taking you.

Maybe the “rise of” framing doesn’t help Westerners accept that religiosity, extremism, and violence are all essential parts of Buddhist history. Trouble accepting this always indicates Buddhism is an empty plaything for some people’s projection, not a multifaceted tradition.

The long read: Still largely viewed as a peaceful philosophy, across much of south-east Asia, the religion has been weaponised to serve nationalist goals

for people just learning about this, i learned about this guy through this video last week - it's a good primer.
the gist is he worked for seattle voice lab, got let go, stole their training material, published it as his own work, and has been actively doing harm to trans people via shoddy training

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"
they are not your allies.
