Funny how the pro-life crew never come out arguing for mandatory organ donation, hey.
I mean, if it's about maintaining life at the expense of all else, including bodily autonomy, why not?
It's almost as if their arguments are intellectually bankrupt and they just want to tell women what to do.

Could it get any better than Trelane? Yes.
Yes, it could.
Pet hate: the term "big feelings", especially in terms of kids.
I'm quite willing to admit this might just be me, but I struggle to envision anything more condescending.
The correct opinion about AI:
✅ Solving high-keyspace problems
❌ Generating shitty "art"
I will not be taking questions.
Our boy made it. 

The Online Safety Bill is such a disaster because anyone with vague technical chops refused to have anything to do with it.
So they took that as a sign that people without technical chops should write it instead, instead of rethinking the whole disastrous fucking thing.
The degree to which I was a MASSIVE slut at University (and fucking proud of it) would genuinely blow the mind of anyone I knew back then, when they find out that I'm well and truly in the Gray-A camp these days.
The more I read about it, the more incredibly rad MRI tech is.
Just one of the most important developments in medicine in the last hundred years, no big deal.
I pay for two AI models:
- Claude ($200/mo MAX plan to use Opus for everything)
- Perplexity ($20/mo Pro plan to use Research for everything)
I would not jack them in for the fucking world.
Look, the AI space is all dickheads all the time, but if you do a bit of digging you'll realise that Anthropic are quite clearly the company in the space who care the most about guardrails, alignment, and general behaviour.
Jack in your ChatGPT subscription. Join us in Claude land. The Pro plan is the same price (Sonnet is still very good), and believe me when I say OpenAI are **awful**.

You ever seen the 2007 Flatland film? Because. Uh. Gender.
Babies with irregular edges are “reconfigured” to bring their edges into equality, which kills many and they are secretly burned.
Applying colour to your edges is illegal and taboo.
There's a political movement to make colour ("chromatisation") acceptable. They are drowned out by rote shouts.
The "women == lines" thing remains intact with its own criticism of gender.
Let's be clear. It's an hour and a half long and all this has happened in the first twelve minutes.
Testing out Shift (which seems to be a way of generating Pipedream flows from natural language) I had to come up with some services unsupported by Pipedream to see what it would do.
As a result, behold, the weirdest prompt for automation of all time. Forgive the typos, MS. 

Detoxing my YouTube subscriptions (hence the CSV, I wrote a tool to do it because managing subs on YouTube is literally hell).
Feels good man.
Tool rec:
If you work with CSV data on any kind of reasonably regular basis, it's superb.
No more converting CSV to a native spreadsheet format and back. Qt-based, runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Nice simple license; buy once, end of story.

Say it ain't fucking so. 

I hate to say it, because I hate to big AWS up, but their Kiro dev environment may just have nailed the pattern for AI-assisted development with its spec-first approach.
I don't see how it can get it wrong, if it sticks to the spec.
Even weaker models would work with this approach. It's excellent.
Reminder that when you see people defend others accused of abuse, saying nothing was always an option.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: AI "artists" are not making art, but commissioning.
Literally prove me wrong.
