One of the minor perks of presenting at WWDC the last four years is that Apple has accidentally given me the world's highest-budget transition timeline.

"trans kids didn't exist before" Bitch look at me. Look at how happy I was, how fucking cute I was. It still took me 13 more years to actually realize I could just be a girl if I wanted to. We've always been here, we just lacked the concepts, words and resources to come out.

Just got (unsolicited!) an email of an essay from Marc Andreessen that is clearly meant to be his definitive statement on AI, akin to his "software eating the world" polemic, and it is so _stupid_, so willfully intellectually dishonest, that anyone who reports on it, or reacts to it, with anything other than dismissal is either a fool or complicit in his explicitly authoritarian agenda. The guy who is explicitly in favor of colonialism is... still in favor of colonialism. Fuck that.

Apple refusing to call anything in #WWDC keynote "AI" and instead calling it all "ML" is warming my heart.

I love this typo and will only be referring to VR headsets as "COMPUTER HAT" from now on.

Lessons, living with parents with dementia: when an app on their phone spontaneously changes it's icon, it's a fucking disaster. Some Google engineer launched a feature that got them a promotion and now my mom can't use her phone anymore. Silicon Valley is incapable of imagining a user who isn't a 27 year old white man.

Why aren’t the “godfathers” of AI talking about the massive data theft from artists & their lawsuits eg? Because that discourse is too beneath their genius brains to cover? They have to talk about grand endeavors like SAVING HUMANITY? Because their practices would be implicated?

Nostalgia is so strange. People will tell you about how they used to read Spider-Man comics with their dad, or how they used to ride bikes around the neighborhood with their friends, and then act like "Spider-Man" and "bikes" are the important takeaways

Okay, so, Charlie came back by, and I managed to get outside into the carport while they were hiding under the car, without my cats going outside to attack them. I sat nearby and talked to them a bit, and they only hissed at me. So, I'm pretty sure they're feral and not interested in being adopted. I guess I'm going to stop leaving food out for them, and I should probably just call Animal Control and see if they want to do their thing.

CW: alcohol, but not anything terrible So I ended up being out until 5am for a change since significantly reducing my drinking to basically being sober, and sure, I had four ciders tonight, at maybe 4% or 4,5%, and I saw some people I used to get drunk with, and all I can think is "I'm not really gonna burn a day or be hungover, and I'm gunna remember tonight".

I spent the first 5-6 years of my steaming career hiding my body because of backlash against women. I was still sl0t-shamed constantly. It did NOTHING to help. 😮‍💨 Let people LIVE how they want. She’s not hurting anyone.
