Introducing the concept of “losing” to my 3yo. We gifted her a game today which involves more than 1 player and we just had to deal a lot with feelings of disappointment and loss.
We know it’s something we have to teach but to watch it being learned from the beginning is so eye opening

Went on X for a bit. I feel like I’m more attuned to AI stuff but not in a positive way. I come back to bsky and I feel like I’m less on the cutting edge but somehow feels more human and peaceful here.

I miss hand coding sometimes. Having 5 open tasks and constantly context switching and making high level decisions is exhausting. Need a min to just sit and make tiny satisfying decisions :/

I also don’t understand the American obsession with SUVs. Like why? I am resisting so hard but my wife is also leaning toward it. And all our friends are on her side lol. I just don’t get it.
22, not yet finished with school, buys a new car, puts herself 80k in debt.
32, lives in Grand Rapids, works in *Saginaw*, has no reliable transportation & relies on Uber.
I'd be more impressed with this article if they hadn't found absolutely gonzo examples of how Americans are struggling

Was struggling to find my own words for this (still am). Coworker used binary language to define ai acceptance and I was uncomfortable with saying I’m very enthusiastic but also uncomfortable with saying I don’t believe it’s useful
I don't like the framing of skeptic vs enthusiast. More and more people understand that it's capable (the degree to which varies), but the framing diminishes the very real concerns around all the other harmful consequences of the technology.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
