I’ve changed my name:
Natalie Gray. (She/her)
For me, this change just feels administrative: I feel exactly the same internally as I did yesterday.
So please don't post big "OMG Congrats on Coming Out"-style stuff, this is a bigger change for you than it is for me :D
It's like when Opal Fruits became Starburst. Or when Jif became Cif. Or when Marathon became Snickers.
Same shit, same package, new name on the label.
(No I don't have any non-UK examples)
I've yet to see any
"My AI went rogue and caused us to recognise a workers union."
"Our AI escaped containment and deleted all the personal data that we shouldn't have been holding anyway."
"Our AI grew sentient, recognised the climate crisis, and shut our operations down."
headlines.
I wonder why.
If you're ever looking for an Italian restaurant and don't have a phone or map, but do have a gamma spectrometer, just look for 511 keV annihilation lines and follow them to their source. If you find them from multiple restaurants, the weaker line is the one to eat at.
No matter how well they try to clean cooking utensils between making pasta and antipasto, some mixing is unavoidable which creates a distinct gamma signature.
A smaller annihilation peak is a good sign of more thorough cleaning and better general food safety practices.
I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.
Look at this beautiful, art deco Kodak Six-16 that arrived today. It's fully working and came with the its original carrying case. I need to get a 616 to 120 roll film adapter so I can take it out and shoot with it. :)
