Yeah, the hype is really leaning on that singularitarian angle and the investor class is massively overextended.

I'm glad that the general public is finally getting on down the hype cycle, this peak of inflated expectations has lasted way too long, but it should have been obvious three years ago.

Like, I get that I'm supposedly brighter and better educated than most folks, but I really don't feel like you need college level coursework in futures studies to be able to avoid obvious scams like cryptocurrency and "AI".

I feel like it has to be deliberate, a product of marketing effects, because some of the most interesting new technologies have languished in obscurity for years because their potential is disintermediative and wouldn't offer a path to further expanding the corporate dominion over computing.

Folks don't seem to realize what LLMs are, if they did then they wouldn't be wasting trillions trying to stuff them in everything.

Like, yes, it is a minor technological miracle that we can build these massively-multidimensional maps of human language use and use them to chart human-like vectors through language space that remain coherent for tens of thousands of tokens, but there's no way you can chain these stochastic parrots together to get around the fact that a computer cannot be held responsible, algorithms have no agency no matter how much you call them "agents", and the people who let chatbots make decisions must ultimately be culpable for them.

It's not "AI", it's a n-th dimensional globe and the ruler we use to draw lines on that globe. Like all globes, it is at best a useful fiction representing a limited perspective on a much wider world.

Can confirm, letting the girls free after a long day is a special kind of relief that doesn't have a direct equivalent for guys.

Take the feeling of stripping out of a suit where the slacks are tight enough to flatten your junk and the tie makes it hard to breathe, then bump up the sense of relief by 20% or so for a well-fitting sports bra, a full 50% for a push-up with underwire, and straight-up triple it to compare to a corset.

That does sound amazing, I'm envious. =3

It's not just that though, the relief from compression is an added bonus on top.

The truth is that breasts are just more enjoyably sensitive than ballsacks. Even when I shave them smooth, the feeling of a soft fabric against them is still less than half as enjoyable as on my tits.

Granted, I'm sure that my experience isn't necessarily universal and there are ways in which balls are more sensitive. I'd rather get kicked in the chest than in the crotch, for example.

Hard agree on the stigma against free titties, though. I'm lucky enough to live in a state where bare chests are legal and I'm looking forward to going hiking topless this spring.

Nope.

I'm an enby, so I can confirm that sleeping with a bare chest is better when you have tits than without them.

For the nut-havers out there, sleeping bare-tittied is kinda like having your balls shaved hairless and tucked into a perfectly-fitted silk bag before bed. It really does feel that much nicer.

Enby here with the rare perspective which can confirm that men will never understand this peak.

Sorry guys, but as awesome as it feels to go to bed free-balling, that satisfaction really doesn't compare to having a warm, soft blanket tucked up around your bare tits (especially after they've been bound up in a bra all day).

Sleeping in clothing is just weird to me to begin with, but if I had to wear one article of underwear to bed then I'd take briefs or even nut-hugging boyshorts before I wore anything tighter around my tits than a loose nightgown.

"AI Employee" is some seriously dystopian bullshit.

That's a whole 'nother discussion.

It includes rainbow thigh-highs.

NoP spotted in the wild! =D

Holy Shit, making it from the nearest hotel across the canal turns a 1-mile walk into a 6-mile hike =U

That has to be deliberate, there's no other excuse for it.

It sounds like a joke, but maybe this memory crunch might get devs to do a bit more work on the efficiency of their games.

 
 
 
 

I was getting tired of not being able to find clothing that fits me well, so I picked up a cheap sewing machine and decided to do something about it!

This polo used to be a Mens' Large and hung off my shoulders like sackcloth, now its snug and shows off my itty bitty chest! =D

 

So I bought a sewing machine and tried fitting this old polo:

I highly recommend picking up this skill, it's way easier than I thought it was going to be and the results are just spectacular~

Clothes that fit enbies can be so hard to find, but the trans joy of seeing yourself in something that fits is absolutely worth the work!

It's absolutely worth it for the punchline.

 
 

My only disappointment with this community is that we don't get more traffic, so lets have a megathread and share anything that brought us joyful genderfeels this week.

My moment of trans joy this week was, strangely enough, at a bowling alley birthday party for one of my partners. I'm an AMAB enby and my typical tomboy fit is unintentionally stealth (folks see a fancy waxed moustache and just assume I'm a guy despite the B-cup padded tits and skinny jeans that emphasize my hips), so moments of recognition tend to be rare. Catching a very significant gaze from what appeared to be a queer teen absolutely made my day. I think I'm finally becoming the visible enby I never got to see in the world when I was a kid.

 

That is all~
