#introduction
Me, trying to figure out all of the new social media apps.

(re)#Introduction: I joined Mastodon in 2017 then promptly forgot my login and rejoined in the mass Bird App exodus of 2022. I am a professional social worker and owner of my own #mentalHealth therapy practice that specializes in care to transgender folks and their families. I'm #queer and #neurodivergent, #GenX, #knitting #ScienceFiction and I write about #humanRights as well. Amateur graphic artist and write poetry as often as possible. Caregiver to disabled husband.
We are a collective of #artificialintelligence researchers based at Imperial College London. We focus on autonomous agent learning and reasoning with special attention to #reinforcementlearning
We organise exciting monthly seminars and occasional research spotlights. We also run a deep RL reading group each week on Wednesdays.
Our next large event will be on the 30th of November about AlphaTensor with Alhussein Fawzi #DeepMind. Register here! https://www.eventbrite.com/o/imperial-college-autonomous-reasoning-amp-learning-41634565043
So, with a bunch of new followers, maybe it's time to do another introduction. I've seen other people do that, I think?
I'm currently an instructor (not tenure track) at a university with a sizeable (~550 undergrads) serious security program. Until recently, I was in academic leadership, overseeing our undergrad program as we revamped our first-year programming/IT curriculum, added required coursework in exploit development/reverse engineering, added a slew of new electives, and reupped our NSA Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (NSA CAE-CDE) designation. I know *way* too much about curriculum structure.
My students usually end up doing work that's way more interesting than what I do. I do get out in the field occasionally through our "applied research" [consulting] lab, though.
Thankfully, I've just rotated back to being just regular teaching faculty again. My choice - there's a reason academic leadership usually has planned rotations. I teach assorted courses in penetration testing, application security (web/mobile/classic), and malware (both reversing and development). I also dabble in DevOps-y stuff and cloud systems.
I'll occasionally tweet.. wait..toot about other things. I started off in AI/CogSci before moving into InfoSec. I desperately miss teaching compiler construction and language theory. I do research when I have the time. Industry research, not academic research.

More fun with #GenerativeArt & #CreativeCoding - some more #WorkInProgress of my latest #JavaScript based project using the #p5js library
I've been tidying up and generally brightening the outputs of the algorithm. I have a bad habit of letting my colours/palette become quite dark & muted, so I wanted to do the complete opposite here!
I'm still going to spend more time refining the colours, but I like the generally chaotic clashes that are happening now...
Apparently, Mastodon search only picks up on #hashtags, so here's a bit more about me...
I'm a #webdeveloper from #Edinburgh, focusing primarily on building #PHP, #Wordpress and #CraftCMS websites. I also do front-end development using #HTML, #CSS and #Javascript.
I also enjoy making #3Dart using #Blender and #GenerativeArt using Javascript (see below!)
I have a #cat and a #dog, love #cooking, enjoying the #outdoors with my family and #music, #guitar & #keyboard
It is so pleasant to read through a timeline of updates from accounts I've chosen, without a sponsored or recommended post in every other slot. Feels like back when the whole social media thing was still more social than commercial, when I was still young and optimistic #TwitterMigration #OldInternet
#Introduction
My preferred pronouns are Xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself - but I'm also okay with either the she or he set. I don't like the use of the singular they.
I'm a fluidflux adult who enjoys science fiction, AI art, computer generated art, scifi (mainly social science fiction), technology, bioethics, and other things.
When I was young I liked ex-military aircraft, which is why I chose my username @warbird on Twitter and here
Slow mode is your friend if you’re watching the local and federated timelines.

Took a break from #nanowrimo yesterday, and did just one Fling, a bit over 1000 words, today. But no problem! :)

How an old #postcard helped #Jewish heirs retrieve their #Kandinsky #painting from a #Dutch #museum
The work, which has been in Eindhoven's Van #Abbemuseum since the early 1950s, originally belonged to a #collector who died in the #Holocaust - The #Art Newspaper #histodon #arthistory

Hey #WritingCommunity, thank you for your patience. As promised, here is a working masterlist of #LitMags, #SmallPress & other #Publishing venues who have pages on Mastodon and will be posting submission calls. This spreadsheet will be updated periodically, so make sure you bookmark it for future reference. :)
All handles have been added with consent from the representatives. If you are an EIC/rep of any such venue, please get in touch & I'll add you to the list.

I didn't even know this existed, but apparently NASA has an autonomous space shuttle capable of delivering payloads to orbit without the need for a crew.

A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
