Datestodon — Fedi dating posts

Usage:
#Datestodon #[AGE][ME]4[YOU] #LOCATION DESCRIPTION

Age:
Y Younger (~18-30s)
A Adult (~30s–50s)
O Older (~50s+)

Gender:
F Femme
N Nonbinary/agender
M Masc

Examples:
#Datestodon #AN4FNM #Seattle
Poly pan enby tomboy open to dates with FWB possibilities.

#Datestodon #YF4M #Portland
20s femme mycologist seeking fun guy.

#Datestodon #OM4M #London
Gay 63yo - London area. Looking for partner.

#Datestodon #AFN4FN #Brazil
32yo femby ISO femme-leaning person for hikes, surfing, and furthering the gay agenda.

Notes:
- Hashtag codes are to get you into the right themepark, not a ticket to ride any specific rollercoaster.
- Use the description for sexuality, relationship style, preferences, boundaries, and anything else that matters to you.
- Orientation, cis/transness, "YOU" age, and other factors are intentionally not encoded.
- Multiple "ME" or "YOU" categories may be combined when useful, but this will make your tag less searchable.
- Age category applies to both "ME" and "YOU", and is intentionally broad and overlapping. The band is narrower at the low end and widens with each category. O isn't "old" it's just older than A.
- F, N, and M are about presentation and identity, and don't cover all the complexities of gender, but they do provide enough info for *most* folx to tell if you're in their *potential* dating pool.
- Keeping the hashtag code in the listed order and format will make it more searchable and easier for folx to read.
```

Update:
- reworded some notes to address questions
- removed (A)ny flag, as it overlapped with (A)dult, and just added complexity.

“In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical Anthropic assets, the firm is also implementing a “pre-crime” approach, attempting to predict incidents before they happen. In some cases, that also means reporting suspects to police before a crime occurs. Anthropic did not respond to the Prospect’s request for comment.”

So my view is that whatever worst case scenario you could imagine under malevolent artificial intelligence, exists today. The "life part" is fashy billionaires. The "capability part" is today's crop of ML systems. For most of humanity, we're already there.

Fashy billionaires already don't make decisions that prioritize humanity. The only thing that would change if malevolent AI developed on silicon, is that ~100 fashy billionaires would suddenly find themselves on our side of the fence. 🤷🏿‍♂️

"Job postings and interviews with senior security officials at Anthropic show that the frontier AI lab is building out an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical Anthropic assets, the firm is also implementing a “pre-crime” approach, attempting to predict incidents before they happen. In some cases, that also means reporting suspects to police before a crime occurs."

Time to move away from DigitalOcean.

From vibe coded ditros: DigitalOcean joins as a Founding Corporate Patron with $3 million DigitalOcean is joining the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, contributing $1 million a year for three years! That’s a $3 million commitment to the development, maintenance, and spread of Omarchy. What an incredible vote of confidence in the beautiful, fun & agentic OS we’re building.

@glyph When my workplace started requiring me to use them, I took the position that this was the psychological and cognitive equivalent of having to work with hazardous materials - but since there was no guidance, I cobbled together some usage patterns based on what people I know and trust have done. Mostly I tried very hard to avoid the "slot machine mechanic", because I have OCD, and there is a very good reason I have avoided anything that even resembles gambling throughout my life.

I don't think I've become dumber. I've avoided vibecoding entirely; I've taken the approach that the machine can make comments and suggestions, but I write the code and I make the decisions. (those two are, for me, very closely connected.)

But I do think my mental health in general has cratered. My depressive bouts have become more frequent and intense. I'm constantly anxious and on edge. I'm *exhausted* when I come home from work, to the extent that even "dumb" activities like playing video games is more than I can handle.

And I've gotten addicted, like I knew I would. Even though I detest LLMs and the AI industry, I now find myself *compulsively* chatting with bots, even if I hate doing so and would wish I didn't.

I'm so, so tired of this.

Has the AI situation gotten markedly worse for you this week?

Specifically: has something happened in your personal or work life, like a mandate to use LLMs at work, or a relative developing an obvious chatbot dependency, to make your own situation worse?

Or have you learned new information from a public source, like social media or a newspaper, that you didn't previously know which is worse?

Boosts for reach appreciated.
