Hi! I work as a consultant/freelancer in a lot of fields, including: Teaching, E-Learning, Modelling/Simulation, Games, and AI.

If you have a project that you think might benefit from my work, check out my website at https://t.co/mRSvYcNe8q or get in touch.

*sighs in AI researcher* at the new tech goldrush

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

The problem with finishing a project is that you instantly want to jump into the next one with a whole load of new ideas.

Also my reading list of SEng/education books is far too long right now.

There's a big part of me that's cheering on the death of twitter so i can finally go live in a digital cave.

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

My students asking me if they can follow me on instagram and me just sheepishly responding I'm absolutely not cool enough to have an instagram.

Is it still a cool thing? Or is it an everyone thing? I can't keep track of the trends and i hate social media :P

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

Also realising how much I need to update my website...

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

I just finished with my current course! From monday, I'm on medical leave until 1st March 2023. Any work enquiries can go to my normal address (capage [at] anotherfeather [dot] co [dot] uk) but answers are going to be very spotty during that time.

Meta is great evidence that being absurdly wealthy just absolutely destroys your brain

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

Anyway yes I'm excited for vicky 3 next month

"The dog ate my economy" - Truss

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

Hard right economics is the real life equivalent of sphering Qing in Victoria 2. Reset, you're done.

Jesus fucking christ what the hell

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

@Ninfa_dp I do think the real world has had an impact on technology usage but i fear most of that has been unhealthy; doomscrolling/sinking into algorithmic feeds. I have seen a trend of people getting more into video and VR chat but to me that's very different to "metaverse" being pushed

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

@Ninfa_dp To me it's much more about there being fewer opportunities for profit in technology, and needing a new avenue to try and monetise. That and the continuation of the trend of technology systems becoming centrally controlled walled gardens.

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

(I know I'm late on the news but in my defense I've been working and playing Victoria 2.)

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

Is this Unity news the thing that finally makes me properly sit down and get good at C++?

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

No, that AI doesn't have consciousness. Solved it. You're welcome.

Throwback to when my local MP wrote a letter against a 5G mast because of Concerned Local Citizens

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

I can't wait to read the contents of the NIMBY bill, local politics and local communities are so pleasant, welcoming, and non-discriminatory :)

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

There's also part of me that kinda hopes it becomes more prolific because it'll give me the perfect excuse to give up technology and live in the woods, never to return.

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

Occasionally i forget about nufts existing, and those moments are bliss. Then some nonsense stumbles into my vision and i am exasperated anew.

[Charlie Ann Page @C_A__Page]

And ultimately it just seems down to whether or not you have a decent material analysis. If your politics is mostly vibes and aesthetic, you think you can dress up this nonsense "for a good cause." If you have a solid material analysis and understanding of the world, you don't.
