Went into @clearsky.app the other day and found myself on AI Haters and Techno-pessimists lists, so I gotta live up to the expectations. And I will, because AI is trash.
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

Rant incoming: I know I'm late to the party but we've just come back from having spent two blissful weeks in Costa Rica and I'm still reeling from our transit experience. It's been a while since we flew and I didn't realize how much air travel sucked these days.

Flute playing and utter destruction.
Before you indulge in any holiday mirth, remember that Peter of Damascus (12th century) warns against 298 passions mentioned in the Bible: harshness, trickery, malice, perversity, mindlessness, mindlessness, licentiousness, enticement, dullness, lack of understanding, idleness, sluggishness (1/?)

I take a medicine that’s shipped to me in cold packs, so I have a ton of cold gel packs in my freezer. Anyone know how or where to donate them? I know I can dispose of them in various ways but I’d rather get them to people who can use them if possible.

Tarantula/spider/pet people out there:

I'm considering using a plastic shoebox with airholes punched in the sides as a grow-out tank for my Lasiodora parahybana (Salmon Pink Birdeater) as it's a little bigger than palm-size. Is that a valid option or am I missing something bad about it. Thanks! 🕷️🐍

Friends, Tuesday is Election Day in NYC, and it's time to VOTE FOR @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! Here's a thread of why I'm voting for him, along with photos I've taken over the past few months.

FIRST, the dude cares. He loves this city and he loves us. And care > punishment, baby.
Got my color film from this rally developed! Here's @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social doing that rally thing.
