  • It does seem less though.

    Like for instance I recently posted a project im working on. Electronic and program project board. (Raspberry pi project).

    And I really am a novice, trying to figure things out.

    AND. I posted a video explaining the project with drawings and such. So it was obvious I’m a woman.

    And guess what? I actually got a few upvotes and a few helpful comments.

    No one called me a dumb bitch. No one told me to fuck off.

    My post didn’t get downvoted into oblivion because I’m a newb. Or God forbid, a woman doing computer things. Which is forbidden because misogyny.

    It was quite refreshing and unexpected.

    I mean machine learning has been and is currently being used in science research.

    It has its value there.

    Don’t need big data centers for it. It can be done locally on computers with decent hardware.

    Ai (and the data centers they require) that are being used to make knock off art and slop , and mass survey and manipulate the public is definitely not needed.

    A lot of pro AI arguments are that “it could cure cancer”. But not really. And although machine learning and statistic calculations are used in scientific research, including cancer research, these things are done locally. Not through data centers. Not through big companies.

    A lot of researchers use a program called “R”. It’s a statistical software that can be programmed to do anything really. Including machine learning. And it’s open source.

    So we already have the “AI” tools for research. OpenAi, palantir, or any of those other companies do not offer better options to R. They like to pretend they could magically solve so many problems. If they wanted. If they only had more money. More data centers.

    But the truth is they couldn’t. If ai could solve these things at the snap of the fingers, it would have already happened because scientists have been using sophisticated statistics in research for literally half a century at this point.

    And have had the hardware to run highly sophisticated stats for at least 20 years.

    Every time I see a video of a jacked woman showing off, and like most of the dudes standing around are frowning… there is always at least one dude. Sometimes two. Who are literally falling so hard with a look of absolute everything across their faces.

    Love at first chin up does exist.








  • Sending around to my friends and asking them to send around.

    How is this legal?

    It’s like asking people to check their social security check status on a random website , implying it’s secure to get that info.

    Can people report this to the better business bureau?

    I once reported a charity scam there. I even had evidence and a p.o box mailbox address.

    Never heard back but. I tried.


    Scam was someone saying they were part of a real charity organization and wanted me to give them a photography item I was selling on eBay. (They contacted me on eBay) . I said sure. Asked for their mailing address. Never sent it.

    Feedback on their page showed this was a long standing con. The charity they mentioned had nothing to do with photography or anything that could be related. They didn’t collect random stuff.

    I was selling special effects lens filters. So why would a charity in africa working to bring medicine and fresh water to villages need vintage fx camera lenses?

    I reported them to eBay too. Checked a few months later. Nothing changed. Scammer still active.

    So I reported to bbb. I also sent the charity an email saying someone was pretending to be from their organization and scamming people on eBay and that they needed to contact eBay because I had already reported it and nothing was done.

    This was like 8 years ago. Idk if anything ever came about.

    Anyway. My point is. Can’t hurt to try.
