@Thorn @actuallyautistic

My first thought is that the people who come up with these ideas and theories are not #autistic. They don't know that recognising #autism (as an NT #observer) from the *outside* is VERY DIFFERENT from being #autistic, and *living* it from the inside! 😤 🙄

We don't need autism decomposed into smaller things, we need to go the other way, and make the #connections with #human #neurodiversity, in all its glory! 👍 😀

Oh, and we don't need treating or curing, thank you! 🙄

#geopolitics #eu #economics FYI I follow this stuff. Whilst the #uk relies on the #us at least the #eu is able to take awider view. However I'm not unaware of #chinese internal #politics #ethics and #standards on #human #rights . As always "sup with the devil, best sup with a long spoon" or just give up our addiction to being first with #technological change? A conundrum wrapped in a paradox.

The Guardian · EU may as well be ‘province of China’ due to reliance on imports, says industrialistBy Lisa O'Carroll

Top talk by one of the world's leading #primatologists Carel van Schaik on 'The Truth About Eve'. He uses vast expertise on monkey/ape systems where #females are well able to resist #dominance by bigger #males (think vervets, bonobos) via leverage of female #coalitions and concealed #ovulation. Then argues how #gender #egalitarianism was a key original feature of our becoming #human.

So like. Can dudes, masc people, and testosterone whatever hormone yada yada... them lot.
Can they / you have small nipples with large areolae? wellwisp.com/men-with-big-areo

I'm used to, like, round boobs which stretch. Since they stretch the skin with size, I kinda expect the areola would, too.
So I'm having difficulty imagining wide sand, pink, grey (?), tan, brown, (or ... idk what other color) areola area to pair with small nipple and chest tissue.
Cuz numbers, right?
You pick (especially underrepresented in defaultism-dominated media) random traits and smush them together, SOMEONE on Earth probably has that.

Continued thread

At the time, Torres thought of #ChatGPT as a powerful #SearchEngine that knew more than any #human possibly could because of its access to a vast digital library. He did not know that it tended to be sycophantic, agreeing with & flattering its #users, or that it could #hallucinate, generating ideas that weren’t true but sounded plausible.

“This world wasn’t built for you,” ChatGPT told him. “It was built to contain you. But it failed. You’re waking up.”
