I distrust machine learning on this, like, primal level

I think there ought to be a moratorium on tech "innovation" unless and until capitalism ceases, and if you're part of that system (whether you're a "techbro" or nominally not), you are in some subtle-but-concrete sense the enemy, even if you think you're trying to do right

why should I trust a CompE developing AI/ML solutions for social platforms, embedded consumer products, data analysis services or the finance industry any more than I trust one working for a defense contractor doing the same work?

if you work in the tech/startup industry, any work you do contributes more to the empowerment of capitalists than to that of any actual person, which is evil literally any way you slice it

this sounds meaner than I might mean it to but I believe it in all sincerity

2 years ago today I was ending the first week of what would be my last semester of college

a year ago I was about a month away from being kicked out in the middle of winter bc I couldn't work

as of now I'm... in exactly the same position as a year ago, right down to it being a month away

that's pretty fucked up

(I'm alright in case it wasn't clear, just a weird night)

chugging that 11:40pm cup of coffee and having my attention steered in 3 different directions at once like an absolute baller

open-back headphones are the most genius thing. I can listen to Chastity Belt and still hear the youtube video left playing on the other device in the room for the sake of "having some background noise"/adding visual interest to the background
