    I mean, I suppose so. I can imagine a theoretical AI that isn’t trained on stolen work, isn’t insanely energy intensive, isn’t controlled by the ownership class, and doesn’t hallucinate wildly. But that’s so far away from what AI is in our current context, drawing that distinction feels like losing the forest for the trees, at this point in time.





  • Yeah, I didn’t particularly like that doctor. After I had a bad bout of depression, she started treating me like I was an addict drug-seeking, even though I used my meds at work and never used cannabis at work because, you know, rules and stuff.

    I have a hard time believing that she was that critical of prescribing to people who use alcohol on a regular basis.


  • Having them was really nice. I had such an easier time staying on top of my health and fitness, the tidiness of my home, getting my work done, and working on hobbies. I didn’t love feeling drained at the end of the day when I crashed, but on balance, it was an improvement to my life.

    Then there was a shortage, so I couldn’t get it, and my doctor said that she wouldn’t prescribe it for me any more anyway, until I stopped using cannabis (even though it’s legal here). And now my new doctor can’t get any of my diagnosis paperwork and doesn’t want to prescribe it until I get tested again.

    It’s like the process for getting ADHD meds is uniquely designed to be difficult to navigate for people with ADHD.

    Nope, you are correct! From the Wikipedia page, which cites the standards document:

    • Representations can be done in one of two formats – a basic format with a minimal number of separators or an extended formatwith separators added to enhance human readability. The standard notes that “The basic format should be avoided in plain text.” The separator used between date values (year, month, week, and day) is the hyphen, while the colon is used as the separator between time values (hours, minutes, and seconds). For example, the 6th day of the 1st month of the year 2009 may be written as “2009-01-06” in the extended format or as “20090106” in the basic format without ambiguity.
