I hate dating apps but I think I convinced myself at some point that it was just enough effort to use them so I didn’t have to try irl but just hopeless enough that I’d never have to worry about actually getting into a relationship.
I went on a date recently that went really well and we’re going on another tomorrow
Its been about 8 years since my last serious relationship, and that only lasted a couple months. So I’m going to try and take these next steps slowly and carefully…

Genius, minimizing public disruption while hitting the leeches where it hurts the most. Maximum impact, minimum inconvenience.
Hiked “The Incline” at Monitou Springs Colorado today. Shit went straight up and some of the stairs were icy. It was scary as fuck too cause we almost slipped multiple times and falling down those steps would have been guaranteed death or atleast multiple fractures.
It was amazing!

The danger of AI isn't skynet, it's insurance companies using AI tools to raise your premiums in real time using CCTV and sensors in your phone, it's police using AI algorithms to engage in "predictave policing" and sentiment analysis of political dissidents, it's governments using AI Generated articles to drown out Google searches for some scandal that just happened, it's some AI tool allowing corporations to make more complex inferences about you using the data they already have on you and then using that to charge you for something.
It's exploitation with a thin veil of objectivity and "mathematical facts", that's the danger, an insurance provider you can't argue with, a cop you can't reason with or even see, it's a notification on your phone telling you that you owe an extra grand on your taxes or insurance premiums because you got in a car accident or something else.
