The Royal Armouries let me play about in their armour!
(This was a set from someone similar in size to me, but it wasn’t exactly correct in all dimensions. Real knights often wore armour that was made to measure, which would allow for a slightly better range of motion. However, for a video game or film character that has looted armour, then something that fits as well as this would be a best case scenario, so it still tells us a fair bit!)

what you learn from hobbies:
consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine
making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential
activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them
wow everything is so expensive
my hands hurt

THE LEGENDARY STORY OF THE TROJAN HORSE DOES NOT INVOLVE THE GREEKS GIVING THE HORSE TO THE TROJANS AS A GIFT. THE GREEKS’ DECEPTION WAS ACTUALLY THAT THEY LEFT THE HORSE AS AN OFFERING TO THE GODDESS ATHENA.
IN THE LEGEND, THEY BASICALLY SENT SOMEONE TO TROY TO SAY “THIS HORSE IS FOR ATHENA, NOT YOU, SO OUR RETREAT BACK TO GREECE IS SAFE. DON’T TRY TO TAKE IT. IT WON’T FIT THROUGH THE GATES OF YOUR CITY, SO THERE’S NO WAY YOU DICKS CAN STEAL IT AND PRETEND YOU GOT IT FOR ATHENA. NOT FOR TROJANS.”
AND THEN TROY WAS LIKE “YOU’RE NOT OUR DAD. WE WON THIS WAR AND WE’RE TAKING YOUR STUPID HORSE AS A TROPHY SO WE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW BAD GREECE IS AT DESTROYING TROY.”
AND A FEW TROJANS WERE LIKE “THIS IS A TRICK” AND TRIED TO EXPOSE IT AS A TRICK BUT THE REST OF THE TROJANS WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS SWEPT UP IN THE THRILL OF VICTORY, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE GODS KEPT SENDING SNAKES TO STRANGLE ANYONE WHO SAID ANYTHING, BECAUSE THE GREEK GODS HAD NO WORD FOR “SUBTLETY”
THEN AT NIGHT ALL THE GREEKS JUMPED OUT OF THE HORSE LIKE “WE TOLD YOU NOT TO TAKE THE HORSE, WHY ARE YOU SUCH PRIDEFUL DICKS” AND BURNED DOWN THE WHOLE CITY
This makes a lot more sense

Someone on Twitter is voicing their frustration that attempts to explain why open development and knowledge-sharing in the field of AI are dangerous, are being met with cynicism and right-wing attacks. And while I sympathize, I'm kind of confused at their frustration, in a "what did you think would happen?" sort of way.
To explain why, I want to say that even though I've only been programming since high school, I hung out in techie communities and knowledge spaces way before that. And in these kind of circles, there is a way of thinking about openness and knowledge-sharing that is treated as basically a truism:
"Free/libre open-source is ipso facto better than closed-source. Anyone who says otherwise is, with near-total certainty, an Enemy looking to exploit and oppress you for their own profit. FOSS is, while not sufficient, an absolutely necessary precondition for preserving your rights and freedoms. Attempts at Closing the Source must be vociferously opposed, wherever and whenever they appear, and we should make extensive organizational and legal apparatuses to fight these fights; we can assume that there will be counterattacks by the Enemy and we must be organized and ready to repel them."
This stuff gets repeated, in various forms, every single day on technologist fora (Usenet, once upon a time, followed by Slashdot and Groklaw and Hacker News and Techdirt etc.), and any kind of disagreement is treated at best with a presumption of wrongness where the speaker is assumed to carry a large burden of proof, and honestly even that is less common than just naked hostility. You can assume that this stuff is a fundamental meme in these communities, in the same way "democracy and human rights are Good; anyone saying otherwise is deeply sus" is a fundamental meme in developed Western countries.
And so it kind of stuns me that a bunch of AI safety people-- most of whom are themselves technologists who surely are familiar with the cultural memes I'm describing-- were banking on selling "we can't open the models, that would be dangerous; for the sake of Safety they must be closed instead" to the public. This was always going to go over like a lead balloon. Their own community spends every day sharpening its rhetorical knives specifically to eviscerate people who talk like that. Did nobody plan for this?
the only thing more dangerous than open development and knowledge sharing is closed development and knowledge hiding 😔
There have been more than a dozen cases around the country where police use Flock to obsessively and illegally stalk people.
theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents
common examples of normalize loving parents posting:
support women who shave their legs and wear makeup every day
let's hear it for masculine men
reminder that two people of the same gender can have a close platonic relationship!! not everything is gay!!
skinny shaming is hurtful too guys
does anyone else think [ironic kink du jour] is strange and freaky and gross?

Very bold of us all to assume Gandalf has a gender and adheres to the modern gender binary
pippin at 3am: pretty fucked up that we assume gandalf is a man. they’re a maia. merry? wake up merry. listen. they’re sexless.
gandalf at 3am: I identify as Tired, peregrin took

This is what I assume everyone looks like irl

Air to air combat is the easiest form of warfare to argue that both parties consent to. Dogfighting is basically kink and it should turn you on at least a little.
"yeah this is a totally platonic rivalry" you are literally doing this
This honestly does it all such little justice. You need to know your opponents airframe intimately- how it handles, turns, how much it weights and how it pulls against the air. How to dance with her body elegantly, and all for just a brief moment under the sights. The strain of your body as you pull the stick, the strain of the engines as they try to give all the force you need. All for a glimpse. The blood rushing from your head as you push forward, the fight for elevation, dominance, potential energy. Position is gained slowly and lost quickly. Eagerness can find you vulnerable, under the eye of your enemy. And all they need too, just a brief glimpse. Just one moment under her sights till you’re undone, penetrated, bleeding oil and smoke and shuddering.
