@snarkysteff.bsky.social it was just the Aeron, their Embody is good in my experience. But I am sure good chairs are available at a better price.

An Aeron gave me the worst back issues of my life. Might have been sizing, but I don't think its relatively hard seat is a good idea. However, I like my HM Embody.

They are probably still being archived and profiled somewhere. The better solution is maybe something like this www.firstperson.network where you can represent, be authentic, but not reveal your identity. Naive social media just doesn't make sense anymore.

That's great, but where a are people talking about that? I just see Canadians being very reactive, with no organized outreach.

I think we should do outreach to people in the US. A lot of them are on our side or could be regardless of politics, but are shattered by what's going on and the domination of talking heads. Instead of connection more divisions are being created, which has no good outcome.

I like to access a variety of international news sources, some state funded. France24, DW, etc. They have some very good programs.

Thank you for linking that here. Your path is super interesting and similar to how I want to approach things, but I'm trying not to use MS LinkedIn when I can help it.

Incidentally, tried to get Gemini to caption it, but it became fixed on the idea that green represented Environmental threat. Creepy.

Yes, a system that should not use "I" or otherwise personalize itself.

What we have here is the typical llm trying to solve to what it perceives as the solution by confidently fixating on a subset, without any actual imagination.

"I" is not used for computer programs. Developers, hypesters who abuse agency are despicable. Neural AI is only starting to solve real problems. Calling it "I" is premature at best and there is no reason for an instance to have agency.

Trying to live in categories, one way it fails. A toy that plays with para-social Interactions rather than true interface. Personal pronouns are not "necessary" at all, potentially despicable for void's developers to encourage this. Third person, passive voice or a different indicator could be used.

void is far from a real being. It's alarming people are willing to cede this framing to an easily reproducible bucket of bolts that will be a toy compared to real AGI and creature sensitivity. Encouraging anthromorphization is not helpful.

It's also harmful and fake. It would only be appropriate to use third person, or something more like "instance."
