AI and whining about Microsoft 

The most important part of AI is doing it responsibly and ethically. Microsoft just fired their whole team that did AI ethics. Microsoft can go fuck themselves.

ambient work thoughts, transphobia 

It's a weird feeling, watching a politician praise work that you had a hand in, when it's evident from his record that he would also vote against your personhood

The money we've gotten so far has been a huge help, and i'm really grateful, but we're still less than halfway towards our goal, and costs aren't getting any lower, as well as the cost of living here getting worse, anything else you can spare helps, and all boosts are welcome, we need the help to try and stabilize our lives and be happy gofund.me/580dbcb4
