One of the common mistakes I see for people relying on "AI" (LLMs and image generators) is that they think the AI they're interacting with is capable of thought and reason. It's not. This is why using AI to write essays or answer questions is a really bad idea because it's not doing so in any meaningful or thoughtful way. All it's doing is producing the statistically most likely expected output to the input.

This is why you can ask ChatGPT "is mayonnaise a palindrome?" and it will respond "No it's not." but then you ask "Are you sure? I think it is" and it will respond "Actually it is! Mayonnaise is spelled the same backward as it is forward"

All it's doing is trying to sound like it's providing a correct answer. It doesn't actually know what a palindrome is even if it has a function capable of checking for palindromes (it doesn't). It's not "Artificial Intelligence" by any meaning of the term, it's just called AI because that's a discipline of programming. It doesn't inherently mean it has intelligence.

So if you use an AI and expect it to make something that's been made with careful thought or consideration, you're gonna get fucked over. It's not even a quality issue. It just can't consistently produce things of value because there's no understanding there. It doesn't "know" because it can't "know".

its been just over a year since i posted this and i still encounter people saying things like "i asked chatgpt and..." or "i made this with chatgpt and...". and these arent like teenagers or students they're adult professionals using this shit for their job. i dont know how people live like this

sreegs

I don't know how to make this any more clear but if you use ChatGPT to do work you're only hampering yourself.

If you stop using it (or Co-Pilot or any other bullshit AI helper) you will learn and grow more, develop new skills, and become a more valuable employee at work and/or do better at school. There's no shortcut to developing useful skills, you just gotta keep working on it.

SURPRISE SURPRISE

Researchers find that the more people use AI at their job, the less critical thinking they use.

Hi, so I'm curious, why do so many Hazbin Blogs follow me?

This is my main for everything not Hellaverse related.

All my Hazbin Art, my Theories and Thoughts are on my sideblog @kanhotep

So I'm always confused when a new blog starts following my name with Hazbin in the Name😅

Reading the new checks that might come in due to the Online Safety Act in the UK and this is actually bullshit

[Image Transcript:

And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age.

Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

Digital identity services – these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.

Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18.

Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours.

End Transcript.]

Not only is this such a fucking breach of privacy, but this is going to hurt adults in vulnerable and abusive situations. Some adults don’t have bank accounts or credit cards or even a fucking phone. I’m one of them. I could not give half of this information even if I wanted to. What the fuck is this. Fuck the UK government. This isn’t going to protect kids, this is just going to hurt adults, and I know full well when they say “sites that allow pornography” they’re going to be going after sites that have huge amounts of queer content, like tumblr and Ao3. Queer kids are gonna lose their fucking communities because of this shit. Abuse victims are going to lose online support systems because of this.

I’m genuinely fucked off about this, and worried about whether I’m going to lose every single one of my online friends. Anyone in the UK, please email your MP and sign this petition. It needs to reach 100k signatures to pass through Parliament.

I’m only hoping the backlash will be big enough for them to stop implementing these measures.

We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.

krsonmar

Anything we Yankees can do to voice our displeasure at this? This absolutely is violating and it's creepy. It absolutely will be used as a test run for implementing something similar here if it doesn't get loud pushback, and even before it does, we all share the same Internet, so it will, in some way, affect us even across the pond.

ghostboyravenight-deactivated20

As far as I know, the best thing non-UK people can do is simply share the petition around, because it’s not possible for anyone outside of the UK to sign it (otherwise the petition can be deemed invalid). But definitely keep your eyes on American laws, because it’s likely they’ll attempt to implement them there too. The UK itself is basically copying what Australia has been trying to do with their under-16s ban.

Just started to look through the nachtwacht fics on Ao3 and I am very happy to see that in many of them Wilko and Vlad are gay for each other.

Because I have thought the same thing.

Because we're clearly all reading the same fanfictions 😂😂😂

how it feels to be a fan of something with like 3 fans

polaroid-sorcery

not exactly a roman empire, but lately I have been thinking a lot about what if Nachtwacht had been allowed a higher age rating or if it had been made for an older audience - in terms of how much darker the series would go in terms of themes and such

0samue0

Oh my God, first of all, I think it's amazing how much Fan content was added since I last checked in 2018!

And second, same! There were so many episodes that without a doubt could have been some absolutely bone chilling with delicious angst!

(Now that I found the Ao3 Tag, I might need to right that, cough)

I mean, Kerberus was already wild and De Stille Tweeling had the most delicious angst (I'm a sucker for hostage situation) but just imagine what De Meestervampier could have done if catering to an older audience 😱

I loved that episode!

Haxa as well, could have been easily an 1 hour episode! It would have been amazing to see Helena and Sascha struggle much harder with their emotions and humanity vs. the witch's influence.

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

Okay, which one of you guys is responsible for the current train wreck of a timeline?! How often do I need to tell you, beware of the butterfly effect?

thefaeriefeatherdark

I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.

Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.

also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old

everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.

which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.

there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.

getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.

Does anyone else remember when Elon was like "if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I'll fund it" and UNICEF was like "we're going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it" and Elon was like "actually, nah" and then bought Twitter instead?

I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life.

tiredspacedragon

I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should be brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. "Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down." Put it on his fucking gravestone.

The director of the United Nations’ World Food Programme laid out a plan to spend $6.6 billion to combat world hunger — a direct response to

To clarify, the part of 'ending world hunger' was a misquote but the 6 billion would have saved 40 million people from the brink of famine.

40 MILLION PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN FED BY 1.6% OF ELON'S NET WORTH!

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, using the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

0samue0

This is beautifully illustrating the entire BS thought process of these transphobic ****s:

Transphobs: There are only two genders and you're born as either one or the other so we won't accept a third sex.

Like, no. The third sex option has nothing to do with trans people, at least that's not the reason it has been introduced in my country.

It was introduced because sometimes you have people who are born with both sets of genitalia and you can't say they are male or female.

Sometimes they present as female but will have internal testicals and so so many more options.

And then, in this case, rather than to MUTILATE* these children and force them into one role or the other without knowing how they might develop, you can note them down as an unspecified gender (I'm not sure what term the US uses/used).

*Yes, it's mutilation when the person in question cannot consent to such a surgery. It is NOT mutilation when a child or grown up asks for a similar procedure because they need their bodies to finally fit them.

JUSTICE FOR INTERSEX PEOPLE!

Signed, a cis-woman.

Does zuko have any hobbies where he makes stuff with his hands? Like embroidery/knitting/crochetting?

I think it would help with his fire-lord-y stress ❤️

AU where Zuko angrily stress-knits

And everyone on his crew shows up at the South Pole with the ugliest scrap-yarn scarfs worn over their armor

And their prince, red in the face, marching one step ahead of them so he can ignore them

0samue0

Bit late to the party but guys, yarn burns!

Which means a) Zuko got into knitting as a meditation exercise from uncle in order to stop setting things on fire

and b) (far more important) Zuko will have learned absolute control over his fire because he once(!) accidentally burned an almost finished piece and if that rage didn't teach him to be a master, I don't know what would 😂

Meaning that at some point (preferably in a Zuko gets adopted AU) water tribe men (south first) will look at this shouty, angry, ashmaker prince making/mending clothes.

And they naturally mock him, because what kind of men is he to do women's work?

Was it Sokka or Tokklo or Panuk or even Ranaloq or Aake?

Who knows?

The important thing is, Zuko's response will always be the same (once having learned wtf women's work is): Loud and fiery.

And in order to hide their own uneasiness about the fire they prepare to comment on the waste of the now ruined piece.

Just that it's not ruined. It's perfectly intact.

And Zuko, in his best Azula impression, goes: "Of course I did not burn it. Only an idiot would loose control like that. Besides you obviously don't know how much work goes into making clothes. Why am I not surprised that a savage like you would only let the women do such important work."

Katara does want to strangle him for the savage comment. And kiss him for the rest, because see, Sokka, even Zuko agrees with me.

And then she meets the northern men. And oh boy, does she want to introduce them to Zuko! They would deserve it.

Hammond is absolutely done with SG-1’s shit at any given point, in the most longing, tired dad way, especially in the early seasons.

0samue0

What I love about the early relationship between Hammond and SG-1 is that I honestly think he doesn't like them very much.

He's a no-nonsene kind of General and between the archeologist that a) needs to touch everything and b) fucked of to another planet, the alien-warrior that is trying to intimidate him (as if that would work), the colonel who used to be a damn fine soldier but a) lied about the very important mission to Abydos and b) has for some godforsaken reason adopted the alien warrior and the scientist that just goes with whatever Bullshit the other three come up with; he would very much like to disband SG-1.

And you cannot convince me otherwise, Hammond is done with their Bullshit around episode five.

Unfortunately by then it's also becoming apparent that those four are the best team he's got because while they do get in the worst trouble they usually get themselves out on their own again.

And around the time Hathor shows up he's come to the final realization that dealing with aliens and space gates means he needs to run an unorthodox operation and so the unorthodox idiots are the perfect match.

Though I think at that point he's still a bit miffed about O'Neill corrupting Carter😅

Well, and then Maybourne shows up and decides that human rights are only applicable to humans on Earth and that's the point Hammond truly and fully decides to accept SG-1 as his own. Because they are a) right and b) clearly forgetting that things work a bit different on Earth so they need someone to negotiate between them (this includes all Gateteams) and the rest of Earth.

(I'm not sure when exactly he realizes that Teal'c isn't trying to intimidate him or do some Alpha Male Bullshit but that's just his resting face. But I think it's only after the tribunal.)

Now, anyone got ideas when exactly Hammond decided to go "Fuck it. Those bastards could use some SGC-treatment in Washington" aka. becomes half feral himself?

Because I think it probably happened before he sicced Thor on Kinsey but I can't think of a specific scene.

#sg1 #general hammond #If we're being honest everyone in the Stargate Programm is kinda feral #And their leaders are supposed to negotiate between them and DC #Hammond made a valiant effort #Elizabeth didn't even make it through the first week #Do you think they thought promoting Jack would 'cure' him?#Cuz Landry was clearly a desperate attempt to keep sanity in the loop #And then Vala came #😏#I love her so much #Anyway Sam managed to bluff her way up to Expedition leader but we all know that she's just as bad as Jack or John #I loved seeing Woolsey break #He had fought so long and so hard against it #And lost within a week of being surrounded by the Atlantis Crew😍#I love my chaos babies #stargate #stargate atlantis
