The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!

I really wanted to avoid asking for help at this time of year, but I don't really have options. I'm nearly 10k in debt on credit cards alone, I've got monthly bills I can't pay, work has slowed down this month so I'll be making less. /1 gofund.me/c0fc97752

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

This is one thing I think Mass Effect's worldbuilding nailed. There was a clear & careful distinction between truly sapient AI (artificial intelligence) that was on the same level as organic cognition, & simulated VI (virtual intelligence) that was basically a sophisticated chatbot.

I think this is a pitfall of the semantic use of "AI" to mean "any machine that simulates a cognitive process in any way." The uneducated start thinking that fictional depictions of sapient androids, ChatGPT, chess engines, & the script governing grunts in Halo are all the same thing.
