You're a non-profit, improving peoples lives and need outside #expertise?

Let's talk.

You're an underfunded government agency or #QUANGO trying to fill a contractor position but having trouble getting the attention the Facebooks and Googles of the world get?

Let's talk.

You're a one-person #business and just need to talk through a problem you're facing with an #engineer for an hour, so you can figure out if it's even a solvable #problem you could hire someone to work on?

Let's talk.

The above (well, except shitting on your head for money) are all things I've done. In general, if you're #helping #people rather than #hurting them for #profit, let's talk. Full-time? Part-time? Contract for just a few hours? You might be surprised.

Hell, I might be surprised. It's happened before.

Thanks for reading. Boosts or sharing with someone who might want my services appreciated.

3/3

A lot of things matter to me in choosing what I work on, and who I work for. Money is one. It isn't the only one. It isn't even the most important one. I have an in-my-head sliding scale I use - the better your work matches my #ethical framework, the less #lucre it takes to convince me to help you.

So if you're using "AI" to build #algorithmic pricing systems to sell to companies so they can #gouge people needing services in their most #desperate hour? I *might* entertain a rate of $1000 per hour to shit on your head. There isn't enough #money in the world to get me to help you build that stuff.

On the other hand, if you're a small #company, selling actual #goods or #services to #customers who want and need them, as opposed to building something #shiny to attract the rubes so you can sell your audience to the #advertising industry? And you need a techie person?

Let's talk.

How do you know if your Achilles is about to snap.

@mementomaori If I remember correctly, Achilles snaps when his boyfriend Patroclus is killed by Hector. Achilles goes wild and kills a lot of Trojans, then drags Hector's dead body around Troy behind his chariot.

Dear all, I am still trapped in northern Gaza and do not have enough money to evacuate to the south. The bombing is approaching, and the army is very close to us, with danger surrounding us from all sides. I urgently need $1,500 to secure transportation and escape to a safer area. Any help from you now could save my life. Please, don’t leave me alone.

"We have been taught to believe that if we help someone else, we lose something, that putting others first somehow hurts us. In my experience and research, it is the opposite."

@GuerillaOntologist#Cooperation is the most important motor of evolution (beside adaption etc). And for the believing: #solidarity and #helping others has always been part of most religions. The ancient Romans called that loving #care for others #caritas.
