"The Copilot Delusion" by Jj https://deplet.ing/the-copilot-delusion/
"You’re not working with a copilot. You’re playing Russian roulette with a loaded dependency graph."
Infinitely quotable. I wish I could write like this.
At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.
@suricrasia fact is we don't have a mainstream cultural framework for talking about this stuff, so people make it up as they go, couch stuff in metaphor, start or join cults, ... it gets messy
@suricrasia i don't mean this in a dismissive way - more in the sense that i suspect more people than you'd expect have very beautiful façades, and don't have the insight that often comes with queer/furry experience to be able to express that in any other way than like, "found jesus" or "reborn" etc
