I'm interested in and have studied many things.
Lately Horses, Tibetan Buddhism, Iain McGilchrist, Legos and always books.
I taught Comparative Religion, Philosophy and Psychology for almost twenty years.
I was once a therapist now I am an Authenticity Coach because I liked the sound of it and I am over being associated with what most therapy has become.
I'm excited about the potential of Mastodon and look forward to meeting you!
People in security and computing have been saying for years - there's no cloud. There's just someone else's computer.
Right now, there's no AI. There's just someone else's work.
Stop calling generative text and image programs AI. It's inaccurate and insulting. They are just the evolution of corporate creative theft that's been going on as long as media corporations have existed.
Why AI really is dangerous to Society...
'what we are witnessing is the wealthiest companies in history... unilaterally seizing the sum total of human knowledge that exists in digital, scrapable form and walling it off inside propriety products, many of which will take direct aim at the humans whose lifetime of labor trained the machines without giving permission or consent.'

Mastodon now has support for importing server-level blocklists. This allows admins to import ready-made blocklists instead of having to block hundreds of servers one at a time.
If you want a source of blocklists, you might want to try here:
➡️ https://writer.oliphant.social/oliphant/the-oliphant-social-blocklist
There are many different lists on that site, with the criteria for each explained in detail.
For instructions on how to import blocklists onto your server:

What it shows: Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and random motion. One might call this kinetic art and the choreography of the dance of the pendulums is stunning! Aliasing and quantum revival can also be shown.
