"Stay home if you're sick." Oy. My worst GenCon was 2019. Started feeling exhausted on the drive in. Napped in the back of the car. Got to the hotel, passed out, woke up with a sore throat, went to the urgent care and it was strep. I spent an entire GenCon in my hotel room eating room service.
Happy Gen Con week! To everyone travelling to Indianapolis, please be safe. Watch out for road construction, especially in downtown Indianapolis. Stay hydrated. Mask up. Stay home if you're sick. Remember, you need six hours of sleep, two solid meals, and one shower every day. And have fun!
INSULINDIAN PHASMID - Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation.
When life closes a door, it opens a window. And if the fall is too steep, use the fire exit. Run to the roof -- you always have that airship on the dock. The most important thing is to keep moving. Keep dreaming.

YOU - (Look at your wrist.) “It's apocalypse o' clock. Time to commence the Gloaming.”
If you cannot make a joke without punching down, you’re not funny.

BEAUTIFUL NECKTIE - Your heart is broken, *bratushka*. And it cannot be mended. Believe me, I've tried.
this is what i mean when i say ai is a rhetorical technology. functionally this is a tool for *justifying deportation*, not a tool for assessing age. when someone is pitching an ai product, don't ask them what it's supposed to do. ask yourself what it's supposed to justify
"an audit by Lighthouse Reports of public data on the government’s chosen AI provider shows that its tech misclassified more than a third of 16-year-olds as adults and, in some tests, was shown to give the wrong assessment in 70 per cent of cases" www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I've started this thing where whenever anyone starts talking to me about AI being inevitable, or if they even mention "putting the toothpaste back on the tube"... I just launch into the history of radium in consumer products in America. And how it's not fucking there anymore.
