Forget robots, AI has a body and it is thirsty

Just like humans and all living creatures, AI should be thought of as a body with a “mind”.

Other things that I know now and that I must hold on to in these dark, #fascistic times:

2.) #EnthusiasticConsent, #EmbodiedKnowledge, #BodilyAutonomy, #ReproductiveRights and the freedom to say yes or no to what my body wants and knows, to even sit with my body and know what my body wants and knows, all matter. I must strive to understand my body, to know what I want and need through my body, to listen to my body. My body is sacred, and it will protect me and see me through this situation, these experiences, whatever may come. Rest matters. Movement matters. My body is mine and not a tool for the reproduction of the #patriarchy or propoganda for #queerphobia or a machine to be used by #capitalism
