AI and child sexual abuse, hot take

as a victim of child sexual abuse it honestly pisses me off when i hear people describe ai generated images as "child sexual abuse material"

like, no, that's not what it is. it can very obviously still be Bad, of course, but we still need to be respecting the fact that it is Different. do people not see how it is trivializing actual rape and abuse by comparing it to a made-up image a computer generated out of nothing? how every time i have to talk about Actual Honest To Goodness Real Life Pictures Of A Real Life Child Having Sex Crimes Done To Them In Real Life as a concept i have to add even more fucking qualifiers to lest people think i'm talking about drawings or deepfakes

it's just fucking exhausting

Parkinson's Law will eat your roadmap alive, if you let it.

"Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion."

Setting time expectations for how long something 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 take tends to make it how long it 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 take.

I bet you've experienced this:
- meetings that expand to fill the scheduled duration regardless of agenda or need
- features always somehow take the full sprint when given two weeks
- projects scoped to take place during Q2 mysteriously require the entire quarter
