so like I said, I work in the tech industry, and it's been kind of fascinating watching whole new taboos develop at work around this genAI stuff. All we do is talk about genAI, everything is genAI now, "we have to win the AI race," blah blah blah, but nobody asks - you can't ask -

What's it for?

What's it for?

Why would anyone want this?

I sit in so many meetings and listen to genuinely very intelligent people talk until steam is rising off their skulls about genAI, and wonder how fast I'd get fired if I asked: do real people actually want this product, or are the only people excited about this technology the shareholders who want to see lines go up?

like you realize this is a bubble, right, guys? because nobody actually needs this? because it's not actually very good? normal people are excited by the novelty of it, and finance bro capitalists are wetting their shorts about it because they want to get rich quick off of the Next Big Thing In Tech, but the novelty will wear off and the bros will move on to something else and we'll just be left with billions and billions of dollars invested in technology that nobody wants.

and I don't say it, because I need my job. And I wonder how many other people sitting at the same table, in the same meeting, are also not saying it, because they need their jobs.

idk man it's just become a really weird environment.

And to anyone who is still complicit, get your head out of your ass.

Well done, I’m proud of them and quite impressed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

(I will be removing/blocking useless comments, I do not need that in my comment section ty very much. Edit: However I will let the the idiocy speak for itself)

the difference matters:

sex-positive: you want people in general to be able to sexually express themselves freely. this should ideally include asexuality. this is not about you as an individual.

sex-favourable: you want to have sex for whatever reason.

sex-neutral: you don't really have an opinion about freedom of sexual expression. this is about people in general, not you specifically.

sex-indifferent: you don't really care if you personally have sex or not, you could take it or leave it.

sex-negative: you only want people to have a limited sexual expression.

sex-averse: you don't want to participate in sex.

positive/neutral/negative refer to your stance on how sex is treated within society.

favourable/indifferent/averse refer to how you personally feel about participating in sex.

you can be a sex-averse asexual and still be sex-positive.

there's a common misconception that aces, especially sex-averse aces, are all "anti-sex", but some parts of the ace community still hasn't learned the nuance of these terms either. i still see people call sex-favourable aces sex-positive when they mean different things.

Today, I was a dragon, a toaster, and a dude.

Being gender fluid is so fun. You never know what you're going to wake up as. Will I be a boy? Will I be a girl? Will I be a gremlin? A dragon? It's like Christmas!

is it normal to see things that are "trauma responses" and unconsiously start to do them?? eg- sh, maladptive daydreaming, etc.

no offence but i think a lot of us me included don’t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone

God, I do it way too much. Especially when I have an exam the next day...

Sometimes I open Ao3 as one would a fridge in the middle of the night. Hungry, but not willing to commit to anything that is in there and hopping a miracle will make something new and appetising appear out of thin air if only I close it and open again.
