Off

It’s an old habit anyway, but I work a dirty job. My boots stay at the door

When the climate allows, I’m usually naked at home anyway

You tell her that you want to see her, but without the kids

It sounds like you don’t want to see her in the first place, and if you don’t have a close enough relationship to be able to say that you don’t want the kids there, then I’d be asking why you would have coffee with them at all

It’s tricky, and I wish you good luck!

There’s a general scientific consensus based on data and measurement, with the understanding that it’s slippery

It is constantly under assault from those who want AI to be conscious, because they get a headline, or they are true believers in some technocratic future, or they’re just fantasists

I agree that there’s a general consensus about consciousness, the rest slips into the messy and pointless world of philosophy

It’s still overreaching to think that it applies to AI as it currently, and foreseeably stands

There’s a world of difference between AI and what’s recognised as artificial general intelligence

AI can do specific things really well at the moment, but as with all complex systems, going from being good at one thing to many things is a leap far greater than the sum of its parts

There is still no good definition for what “consciousness” is

Tech writers are constantly overreaching because they’re afraid to miss out on being the first to say something

The constant sensationalism just means that if something really happens, people will ignore it because we’re sick of hearing people cry “wolf!”

Add to that the fact that computery types like to overextrapolate into other things because it fuels their fantasies, and it’s all bullshit and overactive imaginations

The problem I see so often with smart computer people is that they don’t understand that they don’t know shit about other things

I’m carrying marshmallows everywhere I go, in hope

He’s afraid of people being informed by anything other than cable “news”

I’m lucky

I have no children, and never will

My family and I aren’t close

My fiancée and I met through the erotic content that I create, and all my friends are well aware of it

My image has already been shared far and wide (without my permission), so that ship has already sailed

I’ll be dead, and nobody will be worried about my digital legacy whatsoever

I know, however, that I’m very much the exception and not the rule

Porn really has given people the wrong idea about fisting

It’s intimate and romantic, it takes so much trust, communication and care, it can’t be rushed

Porn tends to depict it as violent and demeaning, and it breaks my heart

I like your interpretation too!

That’s actually not far from the story of my fiancée and I!

Our tale is slightly unconventional, but you got pretty close

You heard your home phone ring, so you beat a penguin to death with a cricket bat

It’s an website that hosts far-right shit

It’s basically populated by white supremacist dickheads

The admins did the right thing.

Open it on your work computer like I do, to avoid problems with my personal device

Yep

I work a reasonably physical job, I don’t spend much time sitting, I’m very careful with my food (I’ve been fat before)

I could probably stand to lose a little weight, but I am more flexible, limber and agile than lots of blokes half my age, and I want to keep it that way

It’s tricky,

It works well at a population level, and the reality is that most people with a BMI indicating that they’re overweight are actually overweight

It doesn’t account for muscle, bone density etc.

I have visible abs, but my BMI is overweight. It’s because my bone density is unusual. I sink in water, and I have muscle

I also am middle-aged and have some fat that I didn’t used to have

People like to write BMI off because it tells them something they don’t want to hear. Everyone refers to athletes and the like, and I’ve upset plenty of people by saying “so, you’re a professional rugby player, are ya?”

It’s not perfect by any stretch, but it may give you something to consider

I have had people describe me as “skinny”, when I’m definitely not. Especially Americans

Most people are so used to seeing fatties that a healthy person looks thin by comparison

When all is said and done, the only thing that we really have is our reputation, and the biggest part of that is the value of our word

As many times a day as I can!

She is head-turningly beautiful, but I wouldn’t give her a second thought if it wasn’t for her amazing, wonderful personality

She’s the most intelligent person I have ever known, she’s kind and generous, she is insightful and wise, she has lived a hell of a lot of life l and yet has a generosity of spirit that the most innocent would envy

I tell her that she’s beautiful all the time, but the most important thing to both of us is who we are on the inside, so I make damned sure that she knows that I love her for who she is above all else

Somewhere else

I moved to Australia several years ago, and my only regret was not doing it sooner
