What’s Going On?

A few years ago, I posted some of my thoughts on machine learning—artificial intelligence as some problematically refer to it as.

“Good luck,” I offered. “And don’t fuck it up…”

But those were not my words. I lifted them from RuPaul’s Drag Race. And that’s perfect—absolutely perfect—because what I’m doing with this blog is trying to prevent the words I’ve written from being harvested into AI training data.

It’s a bit hypocritical, but then again, hypocrisy runs right through some of my family—along with fragile feelings wrapped in rage, cruelty, sexism, misogyny, incestual rape…

…Boys will be boys, as the saying goes.

Or at least that’s how it was all either explained, excused, or endorsed. It’s difficult to tell the difference—must be a generational thing.

Now What?

So… Now What?

This is not a paywall. This is not a forced subscription funnel for ad-free content. This is me locking down content so it’s not available for bots to scrape and sell.

Yes—it might too late in some contexts. Anything that’s ever been put out there is out there and it’s difficult to collect it all back, but at least the gate is closed now.

My audience is small, and I realize this policy change might alienate some, so I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to all who have ever stopped by to read what I’ve written or look at the pictures I’ve taken. Regardless of if you register or not, thank you for visiting.
