The claims are that: 1. people who don't use gen AI will be left behind 2. gen AI is easy for anyone to use 3. specialists can use gen AI extra effectively in their field Which also implies that anyone could start using LLMs if they ever actually got "left behind"

This post is unavailable.

Basically, it seems like even if you accept all of the pro gen AI arguments about productivity, you think gen AI will improve, and you ignore ethics (do not do these things), it seems optimal to keep doing the thing (e.g., programming) as long as you possibly can

it's morally acceptable to stay up late writing and ruin your day tomorrow if you write more than twice your daily average

Why do they call it "6 month follow up - gender affirming Vaginoplasty" and not "pussy inspection"?

Sometimes I'll look back on writing more than a few days old and see ridiculous comments (from me) like "TODO: don't like that word" The word is actually totally fine, I have no idea why past Brie was being so picky.

Many trans people (such as me) think that including trans people in art is neat and are happy to answer questions It isn't weird or shameful to not know things, I've gotten into situations when writing where I had to ask a friend "hey does your body work like this? does this actually make sense?"

A good rule of thumb is like, if you're even /worried/ about doing it wrong, you're probably going to be fine. If you even care in the first place, you're probably going to be fine. Go look at some irl trans porn, study some bodies, lurk in some forums, talk to a trans friend and you'll be fine.

Not every trans person wants to be quizzed about their experiences, but I promise that basically every space/community has some trans people who would love to help

Waiting until it's past my bedtime to write the scene I need to, but this is good The POV character is very tired, I'm just deeply committed to accuracy (NOT procrastination)

Thinking about how much non-public information you can gather about my employer from a copy of my resume

I'm even being good and not talking about anything truly secret or sensitive There's just a lot to be gleaned from combining my position, what I do talk about, and various things I know. I don't think you can avoid this while still keeping a useful resume

Part of me wants to try writing (lesbian) sci-fi with the explicit goal of introducing as many cybersecurity/networking concepts as possible for a non-technical audience Make lesbians learn more about networking in order to read about girls kissing

It has to be well written too, carefully woven in, otherwise nobody will want to read it and it would be too easy for me I don't have an exact topic in mind yet, but stuff like c2 servers (command and control) for a plot relevant cyber attack could definitely be included

Similarly, I've considered the idea of putting an actual bug disclosure inside of a sci-fi story Could be something that's already been privately disclosed, or it could be a very low impact zero day (which is funnier tbh) Many good options to consider

Hi, I made a text editor for writing fiction: brie.gay/cheese-paper (1.0 released today!) Why Cheese Paper? - Move scenes around however you want - Keep notes with the text - Organize in a way that makes sense to you - Simple files you can edit on a phone - Use your favorite file sync program

Hey you! Do you like lesbians? Consider writing with Cheese Paper: a text editor by lesbians¹, for lesbians², to write about lesbians³ ¹: close enough for the bit ²: or anyone else, I guess ³: at release, there were nine documented Cheese Paper projects, all of them about lesbians

Sometimes a story will update on AO3 and it's such a good update that I'll press the kudos button a second time, fully aware that it won't do anything

How does Cheese Paper differ from similar projects? Scrivener: it has less features, better handling of sync, files you can edit on their own Manuskript: it has live syncing, less plotting features, simpler format Obsidian: it has notes and text in the same document, more writing focused

Cheese Paper has taken up a significant portion of my free time for the past year and a half (oops) This wasn't a solo project. Special thanks to @akka-vodol.bsky.social, who made significant contributions to the codebase directly (more than 100 commits!), and helped a lot with early rust design

I wish that people, especially those who dislike AI, wouldn't blindly repeat claims from AI companies about what is legal When a company claims that they can bypass all copyright concerns by doing something with AI, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's true

If you don't trust the AI companies when they make claims about the productivity, cost, or impact of AI, you shouldn't magically start trusting them when they say the word "copyright"

I'm especially thinking about source code and open source projects here, but this goes beyond that

These claims are legally untested, absolutely nobody knows exactly how things are going to end up long term. Is XYZ legal currently? I don't know, the company doesn't know, and lawyers don't know. AI companies would like for everyone to think that it's all legal, but that doesn't mean it's true

Bottom surgery is funny My phone is filled with photos of wildlife as I go on walks in nature, interspersed with close up shots of my pussy

As I heal more I'm going on longer walks and there's less day to day changes in swelling

It's great that AI written fiction keeps reminding you that the emotions are real. Honest. Powerful. Otherwise you might forget

I wonder why this story has bad writing in sections with em dashes and smart quotes, and good writing in sections without What could possibly explain this behavior??? Truly unknowable

In this "Cozy Sapphic Romantasy" that I'm reading, one of the characters killed 7 people during chapter 5. With a knife (or her hands). Cozily

Types of horror: Supernatural horror: evil magic prevents women from kissing Eldritch horror: lesbians can't kiss an eldritch entity (it is too incomprehensible) Body horror: gender dysphoria Psychological horror: due to personal issues, women don't kiss Slasher: women are killed before kissing

I've had a pussy for less than 3 weeks and doctors are already telling me to put honey inside of it

It's a specific type of honey, but it is literally just honey I did the necessary science and can confirm that it also tastes really good

Now that I've had a speculum exam first thing in the morning with no numbing cream it's time to move on to the more painful activity, writing javascript

Just got told that my vaginal canal "looks perfect" with "great depth" and "some bruising" These are the types of compliments that more women should be giving me

One of the fucky bottom surgery things rn is having blood coming out of me that might be: * good (draining from swelling) * neutral-ish (clot dislodged and bleeding) * bad (tearing around stitches) Who knows where it's even coming from? Not me! Is it my labia or vaginal canal? I have no idea!

After bottom surgery, I had assumed, incorrectly, that "can comfortably walk 4 km (2.5 mi)" would be harder to reach than "can sleep through the night without waking up from pain"

It's fun to solve a problem by throwing absurd hardware at it instead of coming up with a remotely good solution Python can use 70 gigabytes of ram (as a treat)

Last night I decided to do a quick 30-45 minute writing session before bed the 30-45 minute writing session: * added a new scene (to be written later) * wrote 700 words * created 16 new bugs/enhancements in my text editor * took 2 hours and 40 minutes in total (ended 1.5 hours past my bedtime)

I find it quite sweet when stories (e.g., lesbian romance/smut on ao3) feature a trans woman who is obviously earnestly written by someone who isn't a trans woman I much prefer an imperfect attempt at writing someone they consider part of their community to not writing it at all

I'm not talking about fetishy writing, that is obviously less fun, but there is plenty of stuff that isn't fetishizing I also have a lot more patience for this when it's amateur writing -- published books should absolutely put in the work to make things more accurate/authentic

Everyone talks about shopping while hungry but nobody talks about shopping while mildly dehydrated and buying 3 beverages and 6 cans of soup

After giving my ID to the teller at the bank today, she told me that Brie was a very pretty name, paused for a few seconds, and then told me her friend's dog is named Brie

Sometimes I do something nice for random people in public and hope they clock me as trans Doing nice things feels good on its own, but I really want to earn +5 rep for trans people like it's an rpg
