#NaNoWriMo says condemning the use of #LLMs is ableist, but we know that LLMs regurgitate dominant perspectives, biases, and styles. These biases include whiteness, heteronormativity, and, yes, #neuronormativity. This hegemonic reinforcement is unavoidable because they're trained on massive, indiscriminately-scraped datasets. Given the social dominance of these biases, they form the bulk of the models' training.
By saying that LLMs are useful, enabling writing tools for neurodiverse peoples - whether for text generation, editing, or review - they're implying, whether intentional or not, that the purpose of accommodation is conforming to neuronormative, ableist standards. This is not enablement, it's erasure. It's a condemnation of #neurodiversity as a pathology that should be masked; that assimilation is how we should overcome adversity and disability. It reinforces neuronormativity and #ableism, just as LLMs do.
Our society disables people. From the infrastructures that shape our means of interaction to the conventions that embody them, we favor an idealized form of humanity that reflects the racial, gendered, ableist, classist power imbalances that dominate us. LLMs are not cognizant of this. They're not cognizant of anything. They're probabilistic next word guessers, and the most probable next word in our society is one that enables power and disables the powerless.
Fuck LLMs. Don't let these assholes use us to hype their grift. Remember that TESCREALism is eugenicist, and that this characterization of accommodation plays right into eugenicist ideas about eliminating neurodiverse peoples. tl;dr: eat shit NaNoWriMo.
i feel lied to lol.
finally started learning .NET and its literally just C#
A while back I saw a controversial post about someone who changed their title because they were denied a promotion -- and were fired by their company for using it publicly.
I am doing the same thing. Why is it different? Because my team and department head told me I could. Titles are a political part of business. If you have an "engineer" in one team, people will want them moved to a different team for management purposes.
Context and communication are essential for showcasing your worth.
Good read for all aspiring #gamedev people:

on bluesky more often but wow im running into the weirdest issues with this code.
theres an error that should prevent a job from running, but it runs fine.
theres a 2nd error where a function returns 2 variables if a flag is toggled but the else branch returns 1. the else is never triggered tho
anyways the code only errors on half of the jobs, the other half work fine + it works 100% in a different production server.
im just losing my mind debugging this lol
