please don't be too hard on yourself. you handled it as best you could. and people should stop acting morally superior and judging others' choices when they don't know what options those people had.

thanks, good reminder. I was also thinking while I was writing it, why do I feel like I need to make a statement? but maybe it's helping me process it too.

great read. a lot of AI-related takes online are disturbingly lacking in nuance so I hope you don't take them to heart. thank you for fighting for balance against the hype <3

I think we need thoughtful people giving input on the use of AI. I'm no fan of AI either, but it's ridiculous to expect people to give up their livelihood to stage a protest that will fall on deaf ears. I know it will make people angsty, but the black-and-white takes on AI are quite juvenile in my opinion.

As someone who deeply dislikes the spread of generative AI/LLMs...I don't blame you at all for wanting to keep your livelihood. Job hunting isn't easy and being disabled is hard. At least you're thinking about this stuff and trying to make a positive impact at work, unlike the ones who cheerfully use the tech to scam people, spread fake news, etc.

I really liked reading this issue- sorry you deal with tremors/others trying to tell you how to do things! I have in-law family members who also have tremors so this was a very informative article.

Finished all my books started last year except for one and it's getting so exciting (we're covering the mid-late 80s of word processing history). Phantasmagoria is one of those huge compendium type of books so it's better suited for waiting rooms and transportation.

updated the layout for the plush page and added a few. it took forever and i don't know if i like it, but i like it better than it was before so that's something.

goblin's one of kdramas i liked a lot<3
