Helpful tip: If you use Google as your search engine, you can add "-ai" to your search to cut out the AI overview. I'm a Duck Duck Go person myself, which so far has not pushed AI results to the front.

Hey new followers! I have no idea what brought you delightful non-bots my way, but I'm glad to be in conversation with you. I like my drama on the stage and on the page, not in my feed. Kindness is rare; let's tend some. 🙂

I've got an unpopular opinion here: that, if portrayed honestly, WorldCon's use of LLMs to screen panel applicants is not so bad - and I am NOT a fan of generative AI. AI's value lies in its ability to chunk through massive amounts of data in a short period of time. (1/*)

Really generous of Chappell Roan to provide the code to "Hot to Go!" in an open source package like that.

Any questions about the environmental impact of AI seem to be answered with "but if we keep doing it, maybe AI will actually SOLVE climate change" and y'all, that is not how this works.

When in the course of our business and professional communications did we become enslaved to the exclamation point as a gesture of nonaggression? As in, "Please excuse me if I'm a few minutes late!" or "I really appreciate your effort!"

For Valentine's, I got you this lovely bouquet of raging uncertainty and impossible choices. It smells of vinegar and Sprite.

This afternoon, I plan to put on my noise-cancelling headphones and sit with my family during the Superbowl while reading One Hundred Years of Solitude and occasionally looking up. I expect this will disappoint just about everyone in one form or another. WIN!

We have an incredible supply of MBAs and management degrees in this country, yet an insane shortage of actual leaders.

Today I pulled a muscle in my back getting out of the car to open the hatch for curbside groceries and I blame the nerd-bucket on my left who parked too close and left me no room.
