Spicy(?) DnD take: I keep trying to play at DnD tables thinking 'I'll eventually find a table that likes to play like how I play: co-operative, collaborative, non-individualistic, character-driven, respectful and normal about the game'

'After the Internet: Digital networks between. Capital and the common' was a good read with two specific essays that really captured me.

Simply I will use the torment nexus in a good way. By good way, i mean to not address the slave labour that built the torment nexus, that now torments the slaves with the torment nexus as surely they could girlboss, gatekeep, gaslight their bootstraps up out of slave labour if they really wanted to.
Woman here. I carefully select when to use AI w/ critical thinking & care, factor in its weaknesses & dangers. I don't download silly apps that undress Aunt Edith. I use my head to use AI, like any other tech. I drive a car from A to B, I don't race it in circles. I use a phone to call, not upskirt.
One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

In the grocery store looking at eggs. Older Guy next to me: What makes eggs white or brown? is there a difference. Me: I don't think there's a difference and i'm not sure why, I think it's just a random variation. Guy: I should look it up at home...
