do any of you even enjoy reading or watching fiction at all? if i wanted the plot with virtually nothing else i would read the wikipedia page
I STILL think of descriptions of feasts from Narnia and Tolkien’s works decades after I first read them. CANNOT RELATE.
deriding things as performative is anti third space
im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!
what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.
I’m not gonna lie very little has been going according to keikaku these days
surprised that in all the discourse about whether Nolan was going to cast Page as Achilles nobody mentioned that Achilles is canonically disguised as a woman
I had this exact conversation with an imaginary chud in my head but I don't actually talk to people who complain about this stuff, so...
That said Achilles hiding as a woman on Skyros isn't in Homer, it's a later accretion in Greek mythology, so its canonicity in an adaptation specifically of the Odyssey is debatable
I look forward to the debates in two thousand years time about which parts date back to Homer(s) and which parts date back to IMAX
I never wanna hear people say "AI Should be diagnosing cancer ever again".
Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study. AI helped health professionals to better detect pre-cancerous growths in the colon, but when the assistance was removed, their ability to find tumors dropped by about 20% compared with rates before the tool was ever introduced, according to findings published Wednesday. Health-care systems around the world are embracing AI with a view to boosting patient outcomes and productivity. Just this year, the UK government announced £11 million ($14.8 million) in funding for a new trial to test how AI can help catch breast cancer earlier. The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, “leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,” the scientists said in the paper.
Everything tech does for you, it also does to you . . .
Id like to arrive at the part where machine learning technologies aren't completely overmarketed, please.
ao we have this situation now where the analytical ML algorithm hasn't actually been detecting more cancer, its led to more people being needed overall for the same amount of cancer detections (increases in size of invisible staff, but also often just the direct increase in staff), it rejects the hardest cases (as in, refuses to judge them), which is greatly skewing apparent results, it only performs well when radiologists are actively reviewing every result, and now it becomes apparent that there is active de-skilling in already very skilled and longtime trained workers, again, as predicted.
So radiologists are becoming less able to judge the cases the AI won't judge, which are the ones that would harm its accuracy rating the most, less able to offer that magic touch (final human check) that keeps AI detecting cancer well with few false positives, and much slower, to boot.
This form of AI was being vastly overhyped before generative AI even existed, and it is, has been, and will become more apparent that whatever use it did have as a tool has and still is being vastly overpromised for algorithms and paradigms that may have already reached their theoretical best performance. If the tools *can* get better, and this is the state they are in today, it is still obvious that they weren't suitable 15 years ago, when they started being sold.
It’s time for YOU to listen to me.
ok i finished scanning (a while ago) yay \(^_^)/
however due to not knowing what im doing the first one is kinda janky and really bad. and im fixing it but its taking Forever... 2012 is fine mostly
Buuut anyways... im sharing the janky ones for now cus i feel bad for taking so long
cake is such an underappreciated band. i can’t believe we brought back low rise flare jeans before we brought back cake in the top 40
i’m just saying cake’s music would be widely regarded as so sexy if it wasn’t for all the mariachi horns and vibraslap and the vocalist didn’t always sound like he was explaining his suicide plans to a gun store clerk in sacramento. the world wasn’t ready for them
The fact that it sounds like a dispassionate reading of a terrorist manifesto is a feature
i really want to make music but i can’t sing :( or rap
I’m beatboxing right now drop a freestyle
im on the cell phone holdin my dick bone im just tryna phone rome caesar gonna get some
they call me lil man lil dick itty bitty meat stick my vienna sausage dumb soft i cant even nut quick
these rhymes go hard though like hot piss, cold snow you aint even know my dick cant get hard tho
you viagra ass hoes poppin pills to get by while im slapping at my dick and im wondering why my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work my dick dont work
if you don't do anything else today,
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
This is Juneteenth.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
happy pride from jester
bonus under cut:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAY!!! 💕💕
rather than draw, this year i decided to do photos because i finally finished my cosplay!! and omg i love it so much 🥰
I know we’re all like lawless nonconformists but you really can’t be texting and driving. that’s one of the ones you’ve gotta listen to for real
Not even at stoplights!!! I know it’s so so tempting to just glance at your phone when you’re stopped, but there’s actually something called “distraction hangover” where even once you put your phone down, your brain is still processing the interaction and isn’t fully paying attention to the road for up to 30 seconds afterwards. So it’s still really dangerous even if you’re stopped when you look at your phone. If you need to check something on your phone, pull over.
this especially applies to people with adhd. you know that symptom you may have heard of called “difficulty transitioning between tasks”? you don’t want piloting a ton or two of potential death to be the task you can’t mentally switch back to.
Rat detected. Make him jiggle.
Holy shit I assume everyone is doing an up and down jiggle and maybe a side to side jiggle but if you jiggle your phone forward and backwards he jiggles in and out, too
Likely one of the funniest things we will get from the extremely late-to-the-party among us show
saw someone trying to roast this guy on reddit but all the comments were just like "fuck off, that's based"
nature is healing
FUCK YEAH.
