I'm considering leaving my tech job for something with less <tech giant> and Oil&Gas.. but I don't know if I'm looking in the right places.

I'd like to feel that I am making this blue projectile a better place before it slams into one of its celestial siblings.

Am taking suggestions.

I like to make stuff - not only new techy things, but also more or less useless low-tech gadgets.

I also like gardening, but don't know if I would so if I had one.

Ghost In The Machine is a great new anti-AI documentary

i'm in it, so you know it's good stuff

tl;dr AI is olde timey race science all the way down and has been since the start. if you say that to people they'll say "look that's ridiculously narrow" but it turns out it literally fuckin is. all eugenicists and race scientists. bloody hell.

Ghost in the Machine

Ghost in the Machine is a gripping and urgently relevant investigative documentary exposing the buried history of artificial intelligence, not as a neutral system of algorithms, but as a technology shaped by racism, misogyny, eugenics, and entrenched structures of power long before it entered everyday life. Rejecting the notion of AI as inevitable or objective, the film traces how myths of progress and efficiency have obscured deeper political and cultural agendas, revealing the ideological foundations beneath the systems now reshaping modern society.

Unboxing my new cat ...
Today must be dahlia day. I threw together an apple pie. Waiting for the oven to preheat.
Warm pie for dessert. Lucky for us we have vanilla ice cream hidden away in the freezer.

Apple abandoned FireWire last year. I'm bringing it back with this new Raspberry Pi HAT, a prototype of the 'Firehat' by some creative individuals in the MiniDV community. See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuKeW45OL-g
I got a lovely gift today.
From a Mastodon friend who received one of my towels. A custom knitted resistance hat!
I can hardly wait to wear it to Saturday's protest.
I love this community. It really is as fabulous as I think it is.
I wish my photo was better but I don't have good light in the house in the evening.
It is beautifully perfect.
