Me: ** begins to believe I’m lazy and not trying hard enough ** 🙁

(At least it used to be until I found out I’m autistic)

#ActuallyAutistic folks: what would you like to see on a travel website for autistic travellers?

Colonising art, the AI way. “The euphoria surrounding generative AI often ignores ethics and rights, especially when it comes to artists whose work may be lifted for free and altered or mimicked without their consent.”

LMAO at the tease for this article: “How many humans does it take to make AI seem human?”

@actuallyautistic @Tooden @jeanoappleseed@vivaldi.net @guidedbywire Knowing that I’m not alone has been the most wholesome part of it all. I would never have been diagnosed had it not been for other older autistics, mostly late-diagnosed. And frankly that’s what gives me the strength to keep going.

@Tooden @jeanoappleseed@vivaldi.net @actuallyautistic This is me too. I feel that I’m facing chronic burnout due to masking, and I haven’t the foggiest how to stop. What even is the real, unmasked me? How do I find it? How do I survive it? Only questions, questions, more questions.

@wh0sthatd0g Thank you!

Any #ADHD folk in my timeline who are also parents willing to speak with me? I’m advocating for an ADHD youngster, and need inputs from #actuallyADHD adults.

@eonity @actuallyautistic Depression, anxiety and burnout are big problems for me.

There's yet another "AI will kill us all! It poses a risk of extinction!" letter going around, and I just… Y'all i am just so fucking tired.

CAPITALISM poses risk of extinction (climate change, right the fuck now).

WHITE SUPREMACY poses risk of extinction (genocide, eugenics).

HEGEMONY poses risk of extinction (nuclear FUCKING WAR).

And whatever "risk of extinction" "AI" poses, it poses because it is BUILT FROM THOSE EXTREMELY HUMAN VALUES.

Even if you stopped every "AI" project running, RIGHT THIS SECOND, those values would still kill us. And no matter how long you "pause" your "AI" projects, if you don't address those values? Then when you start your "AI" back up? You'll KEEP BUILDING THOSE SAME VALUES IN.

This is not hard. At this point, as much as it pains me to say it, it's not even novel. And yet you're still not fucking getting it.

I'm so goddam tired.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics Agree. Especially as adult diagnosis is soooo difficult to get, and there’s so much stigma associated with “mental issues”.

@Sigma I’m sorry to hear that. I can relate in some ways, and 100% agree about having supportive parents.

#AI people in the fediverse: would any of you like to talk to me about the environmental costs of generative AIs?

@Sigma I think that was me. Hyperlexic and (undiagnosed then) ADHD made me a get great marks in school, and thus escape bullying from my contemporaries. But it also made adults never notice my social struggles or dismiss me otherwise.

Maybe stop feeding prompts into ChatGPT and other AI generators for funsies? #ai

@jeanoappleseed@vivaldi.net @melindrea @Pathfinder @rabia_elizabeth@mefi.social @TheAutisticTooter@autistics.life Wow. That’s so evocative.

@actuallyautistic @somecat When I’m writing fiction, I love the feeling of small things falling together and creating a whole. I don’t work with outlines, and I don’t write in sequence, so when working on a novel, when small pieces connect up, or something new is revealed, is the most exciting and fulfilling feeling. It’s like, even though I’m the author, I’m discovering the story for the first time.
