@alicegoldfuss Admittedly I didn't see The Lobster but Yorgos Lanthimos' previous film ALPS was neat. I don't remember it being scary, but maybe thrilling.

@Conrad_Swanson Just going to add that Wild Ones Front Range https://t.co/HIHvA3lJc9 hosts a native plant seed swap that was incredible at helping me (and my friends who I shared seeds with) grow a ton more native species.

@IanColdwater My partner and I both have them, and I've really liked them in loud-ish places (like breweries) for having conversations across the table and the music not bothering us!

AI will (most likely) not gain sentience in our lifetime. But what it is doing right now is replacing human labor with bad facsimiles, making public communication worse, automating prejudices, strengthening monopolies, and creating new ways to terrorize each other.

@jenistyping I'm deeply skeptical of people who could be selling services to corporations for $$$ deciding to charge individual people. Personally I believe extracting as much money from corporations as possible is the highest good; extracting money from vulnerable people is the opposite

@onejasonknight Had one that was tied to the company I worked at. In hindsight I think they were looking out for the company's best interest and not mine. They led me toward a decent path, but ignored all of the additional company context they had, knowing would not work in the long run for me.

@nbminor @CodeForDenver is the Chi Hack Night of Denver, just sayin. 🤷‍♂️
