I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t

Current mood...

The Trump victory is a victory for corporate tech, VCs and crypto powerbrokers. The implications for transparency, civil liberties, democratic governance and accountability as well as a shaping of US (foreign) policies through their interests is one reason for concern #techcoup

If you are wondering why we have so many superhero films and TV shows about trying to move or change the timeline, this is why.

This is so incredibly depressing. If I was relying on AI there was so much stuff I wouldn't have learned, and many weird holes I wouldn't have gone down or learned about that ended up paying off later in my career.

I will gradually move completely to Bluesky (elinor carmi.bsky.social) and leave Twitter. In the past few days many people have moved there because they also don't want to be on a platform that is run by a megalomaniac fascist asshole.
