I love updating #sharkey because I get to see the pretty confetti falling and I feel like I've just leveled up my gayness

I'm yet again involved in a project in which the user has to select a title (e.g. Mr, Mrs, Dr, Mx, etc). This stuff always sparks some interesting conversations because (in my experience) most companies want to give the idea of "being woke" without actually doing any of the work/providing any value to non binary people or gender questioning individuals.

The reason why I say this is because very often, selecting "prefer not to say" or "Mx" as your title actually reduces your chances to get whatever you are trying to get from that system.

This is because many APIs (especially in the banking sector) only respond to certain "titles" or give you an eligibility rate that is equal to the amount and quality of information provided. So for example selecting "prefer not to say" will decrease your eligibility rate for, dunno, like a credit card for example.

The cool thing about being queer is that, no matter how hard you try, you'll never live the life straight people live.

I'm so grandma-pilled I just want to sit on my sofa, watch trash tv and develop osteoporosis

Presto automation sold an AI chatbot to drive thrus so they could sack their workers while the chatbot would take the food orders. Turns out the chatbot wasn't AI but it was connected to an off shore site in the Philippines where actual humans would pretend to be a chatbot and take the orders.

Arguably, the first case of humans stealing a job from an AI.

Can you be a 70 year old twink??
