i despise #AI

but i heard an #NPR segment about a woman with throat cancer

before her voicebox was removed, she recorded hours of her voice

instead of a stephen hawking robot voice, with AI working on her recordings, she can talk like she always did, preserving her sarcasm, her inflections, etc

#AI is like #crypto: promise

but like crypto, most of AI is taken over by #techBros who use it for vile purposes

but there is little good niches

Campaigners have warned that nearly 600,000 disabled people could be at risk from the next round of the government’s welfare reforms.

But dont worry, your government is investing in lots of new prisons, so at least you'll have a roof over your head when you protest.

Telehealth provisions for Medicare are disappearing Sept. 30. Which is really dumb. My specialist is at Stanford and I live 2500 miles away, meaning I would have to travel twice year to see him, which is really hard on me. And there are many people in the chronic illness community who are mostly or totally bedbound. You can take action by calling your people in Congress and tell them to support the Connect for Health Act.

"Studies have shown that children begin to identify and punish autistic traits from a young age. Human beings reinforce social norms by hurting people who break them."

If you want to understand why autism is a disability and not just a quirk or a difference, reread this quote until the words find a permanent home in your brain.

"Human beings reinforce social norms by hurting people who break them."

"Human beings reinforce social norms by hurting people who break them."

"Human beings reinforce social norms by hurting people who break them."

This happens every. Single. Day.

The roll out of the Canada Disability Benefit is a botched mess. I am calling on Prime Minister Carney to immediately reinstate the Minister of Disability. Admit it was a mistake to eliminate this ministry and fix this botched mess. Persons living with a disability can’t wait one minute longer. #Fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #canada
