I’m an autistic coyote/otter puppy! I do writing and worldbuilding and spiritwork and apparently game design! Other things I like: - Digimon - Dinosaurs - Glowy stuff - Plushies 18+ only!

at this point saying they don't work at all, or only stochastically emit things from their training set, or can't solve novel problems, is denying their ability, but only in regards to coding. natural-language interfaces are here but you have to know what you're doing to use them effectively

the core problem of the whole agentic AI thing is that they work quite well for coding, and coders assume this means they will work quite well for everything else on the planet, because they are coders with a Silicon Valley mindset, and they tell this to investors with Silicon Valley money

We met on FurryMUCK, way back in '92 The dialup noises said I soon could chat with you The text was slow but didn't stop you coming through OwO And now I open an abandoned term window We read the scrollback and it seems so long ago Do you remember how the TS used to go OwO

Brainstorming a Playdate game idea, mostly-internal monologue: “Okay it’s like Lemmings but with little dinosaurs and instead of assigning roles you just send the dinos out and have them do abilities and you need to get them all across the map…” “…I just re-invented Lost Vikings, didn’t I.”

Ah, that moment when you discover a random body response isn't just something everyone has that's so normal they don't talk about, but actually a minor medical condition... Yay? (You mean it's NOT normal that relatively-light scratching of bare skin will leave a raised red area?)

So this sent me off into a weird reverie about the tangled relationship between postfurry, transhumanism, and rationalism. "Postfurry" as such arose in the early 2000s, out of a group of furries on a BDSM-focused, text-based roleplay environment called Tapestries. 1/

:) i think rationalists lost their way when they forgot about the fun and cool aspects of transhumanism and tried to become all knowing gods, which is not even the easiest kind of god to become
