Currently on Sabbatical. Logistics and IT are my industries, but I’m currently on Sabbatical. Travel and Linguistics are my hobbies. Hats are my headgear. Tea is my drink of choice. Based out of Barcelona, Spain.

@MagicLike morning! Today it’s my turn to catch the trains…

@darkphoenix and boys?

Well. SNCF claims my trains are all running tomorrow. During a strike.

Will I make to my destination?

How do you say ChatGPT in French? And why does it mean “Cat, I’ve Farted”?

The value proposition for robots and AI is always slavery, with slaves who don't need feeding and can't rebel.

Just as the values behind Mars colonization are a white supremacist ethnostate in space (without having to massacre any indigenes first).

The tech CEOs soaked it up in their childhood from "golden age" science fiction, which predated the civil rights movement.

Pictured: The first vibe coder, Geordi La Forge, about to discover the dangers of natural language programing.

This image shows Geordi La Forge from the *Star Trek: The Next Generation* episode "Elementary, Dear Data." He is dressed in a Victorian-era suit and bowler hat as part of a holodeck simulation based on Sherlock Holmes stories. Geordi is facing a wall-mounted control panel with illuminated orange buttons, issuing a command. He wears his iconic VISOR, which allows him to see despite being blind. The subtitle reads, “Create an adversary capable of defeating Data,” marking a pivotal moment in the episode when Geordi inadvertently triggers the creation of a self-aware holodeck character, leading to unexpected consequences.

In this cartoon set in Edo-era Japan, a swordsman in red approaches a swordsman in blue. Red says you're that famous swordsman, aren't you? Blue, who is seated and enjoying a cup of tea, says "I don't want to fight." Red puts his hand on his sword and begins to bluster, and Blue draws his own sword, still seated, with a resounding SLICE. In the final panel, we see that Blue has sliced the panel itself in two, leaving Red isolated on the other side of the gap and complaining hey, you can't do that, get back here!

Effective immediately, Cassidy (WSFS DH), Nicholas Whyte (Hugo Administrator) and Esther MacCallum-Stewart (Deputy Hugo Administrator) resign from their respective roles from the Seattle 2025 Worldcon. We do not see a path forward that enables us to make further contributions at this stage. We want to reaffirm that no LLMs or generative AI have been used in the Hugo Awards process at any stage. Our nomination software NomNom is well-documented on GitHub for anyone to be able to review. We firmly believe in transparency for the awards process and for the Finalists who have been nominated. We believe that the Hugo Awards exist to celebrate our community which is filled with artists, authors, and fans who adore the works of our creative SFF community. Our belief in the mission of the Hugo Awards, and Worldcon in general has guided our actions in the administration of these awards, and now guides our actions in leaving the Seattle Worldcon.

A split-screen meme. On the left it says "Run" and there is a photograph of a fit looking young man wearing expensive jogging clothes jogging on pavement. On the right it says "Run as administrator" and it depicts somebody in a very expensive fox fursuit jogging on a wooden bridge.

We replaced $perfectly_good_feature with $new_feature..the old one is going away.

Can it do everything that $perfectly_good_feature did?

Hell no. Btw we are increasing the cost of the product because of all the new features we are releasing.

@FlockOfCats to be fair, I know a number of languages where the word for tea is a variation on The, or Thee, who’s is how I initially parsed it.

More to the point, earl grey with milk? Eeew

Moinsiiii, ihr Radler*innen :D

A turtle riding a bicycle is seen navigating through a traffic jam of cars, filled with anthropomorphic rabbits looking frustrated and impatient. The scene humorously contrasts the slow pace of the turtle with the chaotic traffic of the rabbits.
