Songs that make me cry when it seems like they shouldn’t: The Piña Collada Song Good Luck, Babe
Eg someone commenting here mentioned using AI for grammar correction over paying a human to review their work - much faster and more affordable. Not something to be ashamed of imo. Never said problems like water usage should be ignored, they need solving. Will stop being moderate online now👋🔕
I’m disabled too :) I never said disabled people NEED AI because they’re inept or stupid. Just that I’ve witnessed it help someone, who chose it themselves, and who I do not think should be ashamed for that - and therefore maybe we shouldn’t tell everyone to be embarrassed and ashamed.
Alas, it was the only comparison I could think of. I agree that the environmental impacts of AI are a concern. (As well as the obvious copyright and connection stuff mentioned above.) I just don’t think that blacklisting it in its entirety and telling people to be ashamed is productive or useful.
I think disabled/disadvantaged people should get to choose which tools work for them and get them interacting with the world in a way they prefer.
It’s similar to how I feel about veganism: if you’re healthy w/no conditions and have money, you don’t have an excuse to still be contributing to suffering and climate change. If you don’t have money or [insert multitude of other reasons], it’s hard to do the right thing in the system we have now.
I think we agree overall, but this take lacks nuance imo. E.g: I don’t think people using AI to better express themselves (thinking about disabled, English-as-2nd-lang friends) should be ashamed. It’s not bad that not everyone can afford to stand up to the system while getting where they need to go.
OBSESSED. Patiently waiting for her to blow up 🤞 tidal.com/browse/track...
1/3 ❌ PIP cuts will be devastating for people with #ME & #LongCovid. Our new briefing shows these reforms will push people further from work, deepen poverty & worsen health. We’re calling on MPs to oppose this - help us flood their inboxes. Briefing & how to act ⬇️

Same. I loved my job. I loved my financial freedom. Relying on a state that is happy to see us go hungry and lose our rights to an acceptable standard of living, is a horrific alternative to work. I’d be working if I could. #pwME #DisabilityRights
Jaime Seltzer, #MEAction's Scientific Director, was interviewed to create this piece on PEM in ME/CFS with @scishow.bsky.social, a popular YouTube channel that explains complex science/medical concepts to laypersons. Check it out here: youtu.be/wxSwYUennBA?... #pwME #MECFS #LongCovid
Had the best time this evening 🥰✨
