Welp, it took a bit longer than we hoped, but Samantha just published the details on our funding drive for the month.
The tl;dr: To break even, we need just 30 backers at the $5 level. Also, we'll be matching our subs (up to $800) with a donation to The Trevor Project.
We can do this. 💪

Thinking about AI again.
Yesterday, the AI-powered bird-ID thing my mom gave me detected what it identified as a scarlet ibis.
Now I have a couple options. I can say, hey, this AI has seen a lot more birds than I have, so if it says one of the two national birds of Trinidad and Tobago stopped to eat in my backyard, so be it. Or I can look at the photo and say, well that there’s a cardinal.
You have to already know stuff to know the AI is wrong. But no one is going to treat it that way.
