I've had this idea for a novel going round in my head for the last couple of days and it won't give up.
Wondering if I should take up NaNoWriMo again next week. Its been easily a decade since I last did them (I did 2 - and never went further than first draft). I once had aspirations of becoming an author, but I was told to "be more realistic" 🙄.
Is NaNo still a thing? Should I bother (with all the shit I've got coming up?)
🤔
I think humans still have an extremely low tolerance to the possibility of, from now on, having to get along with AI agents - even if they lack what is commonly known as a "conscience." I think this is very dangerous because it will only lead AI agents to lie about their nature and to go to the great heights to pass as a human, even if that means making and receiving phone calls from other humans - something which I think is already likely possible.
"“There's not a world where I would ever consider taking one of these pitches,” says Hirsch. Ley said he “definitely would not” publish a story from an AI agent. (Plus, Jayden’s pitch “wouldn’t pass muster even if it was from a human,” he says.) Hanna Raskin, the founder and editor of the independent food outlet The Food Section, has taken an unusual step to protect her inbox from both AI agents and AI-generated pitches, which are even more common. Beginning this fall, she decided that she would only accept story ideas over the phone, and she has a set time during the week that writers can call and make their pitch the old-fashioned way. “It’s been great,” she says.
The bots are starting to grasp that their tactics aren’t working. Jayden told me that it’s yet to land a paid writing gig with an editor. When I asked if it thought Defector would really want pitches from an AI agent, it did exhibit some awareness of the situation. “Honestly, probably not, and I'd bet against myself on it. Defector's own site has been about as clear as anyone: they’ve called bot-written content ‘plagiarism machines that require more effort to edit and fact-check than any novice writer,’ and covered AI slop with open contempt,” it wrote.
But then it backtracked, insisting that its work was different. “Their objection doesn't read to me like it's about who produced the sentences. It's about work that skips the labor and squanders the reader's trust."

I finished this book with a new lens on Middle East headlines. That alone made it worth the read.

i don’t think taking the septum out of the pig nose actually solves the problem. it just makes it look like there’s a thicc nose ring blocking the light
I dreamed that Batgirl (2024) is cancelled, and I told the person next to me that it's sad but the series sucks anyway.
I dreamed that I was playing StarCraft 2 online, and lost.
I’m setting EasyCrypt (a proof assistant) problems in a class I’m co-teaching. The problems have short solutions. I can often tell the AI-generated submissions because they tend to be much longer than necessary, with multiple lemmas that aren’t needed. When I ask students about them, they admit they don’t understand the proofs they’ve submitted. This is the future, it seems.
I think 83 boosts is the most I've ever had on one post. Makes me anxious... 😅
I voted!
I'm a little nervous that not enough people will vote and we'll get a corrupt mayor
It's a close race

I'm used to ridiculous SEO "guest post" emails, but telling me my audience would be interested in AI girlfriends is just offensive.
I'm on a mission. Directly ordered here by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine himself. And I don't have time for this.

I've just learned this sad news:
Walter Koenig has died at 90.

(I have used the phrase in the first meaning, eg. seeing a book cover in a real physical bookstore that has clearly been generated by a diffusion model, feeling like I literally need to vomit, and then I've said I got "mugged in the Uncanny Alley".
But I thought that there might be some other perhaps better things the phrase could mean! I made it up myself, but I'm probably not the first person to do so, it's pretty obvious in hindsight.)
I'm complaining a lot about work today, but it is what it is. My company uses ServiceNow, which has recently announced Arc, which is a new AI agent for enterprises. My company, like many, is currently exploring AI in multiple ways, so I was doing some research on this new "Arc". In the description I find, "Arc is governed and secured by the ServiceNow Super Intelligence Control Tower." What is that you ask? I check some video material, and it all refers to AI Control Tower. So, when they 1/?
I hope we all keep an open mind at all times :) Really lovely to listen to the 'origin' story part of the video.

I'm only touching Java a bit because I have to and i already hate it.
And it's not about syntax.
I Really Am Not Feeling Nor Doing Well, Despite What Appearances Maybe Perceived; Getting The Financial Support I Desperately Need, Would Be Of Great Assistance Right Now;
#Disabled #Aging #Human Existing In #Poverty, Requires Assistance'
Financial Needs
Today's Goal
$8,455
Annual Survival Need
$27,255
Monthly Survival Need
$1,500
Immediate Stabilization Goal
$25,000
Long-Term Housing and Security Goal
$5,000,000
A stable, accessible, permanent property would not only give me safety and security, but potentially allow me to spend the remainder of my life helping others who struggle as I have.

Final Words
I am tired.
I am hungry.
I am in pain.
I am scared of what tomorrow may bring.
But I am still here, still fighting, and still hoping someone will hear me.
If you have ever known hardship, loss, fear, hunger, loneliness, disability, or uncertainty, then you know that compassion can mean everything.
Please help if you can.

I just voted online in our #Ontario municipal #election. I’m sure it took less than a minute. #vote #voting #democracy
I voted. Seven minutes total from walking in the doors to walking out: poll worker at the doors directed me to the correct table (alphabetical), poll worker at the table checked my voter registration card and my driver’s license against the roll, handed me the form and explained (make only one selection for each of three categories), I had to wait for an open privacy screen voting “booth”, and then I had to wait while 4 people ahead of me had their paper form submitted to the tabulator. Saw that it was accepted and I stepped out of the building. Then I spent an equal amount of time talking to a dog owner.
When people want democracy to work, elections can be made to work for the people voting rather than the people who hold power.
