taking my mom to her big spinal surgery this morning, please send good vibes

@kit I am currently entirely bailing on this part of my graduate school experience because my family can't make it and I feel bad making anyone go to Delaware

@markllobrera the second one is a prequel!

@markllobrera yeah I know how I'm passing the time during my mom's recovery from spinal surgery now lol

this extremely stupid little joke had me thinking about how good the infernal affairs movies were and I happened to be browsing criterion and they're all there!! amazing!!

just renewed grimoire.computer which I still think was a pretty cool project and will always be glad it introduced me to @Mer__edith

She has no history of abusing drugs and is being super agreeable about me managing her dosing yet knowing that my mom's coming home from this surgery with oxy has me extremely on edge?

@ranjit WGA on strike over industry adoption of Inter Alia

will (the Hong Kong mafia movies) Infernal Affairs take your job

can Iowa read minds

what if Interior Architecture becomes too powerful

I will not be correcting her, no

i'm staying with my mom to help her out while she recovers from a big surgery she's having tomorrow and she has now referred to artificial intelligence as "IA" four times

there's also this @brewsterkahle blog post from 2014: https://brewster.kahle.org/2014/05/08/corporations-are-the-1st-generation-ais/

trying to figure out the origins/earliest reference to the clever observation that corporations are a form of "artificial intelligence"--the 2018 @cstross CCC talk comes up a lot in citations; I first heard it from @dymaxion in 2014 but years later she attributed it to Stross, so maybe he'd been working on it for a while before the 2018 CCC

happy may day everyone!!

@TeamMidwest ooof for sure!! feel like in general a lotta academics fear the vulnerability that comes with being humble enough to admit to not knowing everything

@TeamMidwest also depending on the subject matter a lot of adults are pretty fucking bad on historical context, signed someone who explained internet infrastructure to a Financial Times columnist once
