Back when there was chatter about Prompt Engineering as a skill/future career, was anyone claiming that AI was a grift based on that being bullshit? Did it occur a couple years ago to anyone that, if it was "actually AI," you wouldn't need to develop a special method to interact with it?

I'm not here to settle for scraps of my humanity. Cis people: when you suggest this for trans folks, you are telling the fascists that *you* would settle for fewer rights, that *you* think it's reasonable to beg for and graciously accept what little they'll let you keep (for now)

She is absolutely transmedicalist. Brianna Wu thinks she deserves her transition more than you do (if you do at all) unless you follow the old DSM to the letter. A bootlicker at best.
Emmy, Gendermancer (@peculiar.space) reply parent
Her takes were horrible: modern trans movement is misguided, nonbinary is fake, assimilation is the only way, "I'm biologically male," real trans women vs AGP trans women, being vocal/visible is wrong and ruining what little acceptance we've earned, the DSM no longer has any standards, etc.
Emmy, Gendermancer (@peculiar.space) reply parent
I listened to her for years on tech podcasts, completely unaware of who she really was. Around the time I hatched was when she came out (or was outed). I listened to a podcast with her in December and was shocked at how anti-trans and anti-queer both she and the host, a gay cis man, were.

That tracks. It's not like "the police" are enriched by that, just the individual(s) talking the stuff home. I've read a lot of stories about cops siezing "life savings" amounts of cash, vehicles, and even a couple of houses. I imagine those things end up on the books, except some skimmed cash.

I wish we could get to the point where we have a collective memory. We need to remember the failures and successes and have sound reasoning behind changing strategy or not. I can't say exactly what would fix the Dem party, but I can say most of their efforts are shit. Take notes and refer to them.
