I've decided I'm going to just misgender every transphobe who declares they are "against pronouns" or that pronouns are a "woke virus" or whatevs.

Starting with Elon Musk; she's such a dickhead.

Seriously, tell people how much you appreciate them. It makes a difference to both you and them. And don't wait. Do it now. Do it all the time.

Be the loving light that you need yourself to be. And shine that light whenever you can.

The Turing Test poisoned the minds of generations of AI enthusiasts, because its criteria is producing text that persuades observers it was written by a human.

The result? Generative AI text products designed to "appear real" rather than produce accurate or ethical outputs.

It *should* be obvious why it's problematic to create a piece of software that excels at persuasion without concern for accuracy, honesty or ethics. But apparently it's not.

Nothing to see here - this is just some cherry pickers clustered together creating the optical illusion of a mechanical monstrosity.

It is not - I repeat - not - a giant mechanical spider, a strider from the Half Life series, or a War of the Worlds tripod.

I mean it *looks* like those things, but our benevolent robotic overlords are telling me to tell you that it's completely harmless and innocent, and nothing to be concerned about.

Just realized that for most people, the web and the Internet are synonymous.

So let's consider common examples of Internet things that are not necessarily web things:

1. Email
2. Chat (IRC & XMPP)
3. FTP
4. BitTorrent
5. SSH

Basically, think about many things you do on the Internet that doesn't require a web browser.
