Hi, I'm crispo (he/they)! A millennial, queer, chronically ill artist and writer from the pasta boot, and today I'm updating my pinned post!

I am staunchly anti-censorship and anti-harassment (no, calling out harassment is, indeed, not harassment), pro-rehabilitative justice, and unlearning my biases as I learn about myself and the world

o(￣▽￣)ブ

I love to explore what scares me and what amazes me and what I'm learning about, and needless to say, a lot of what I write tends to be on the darker side. Still, I like to believe that what I write comes from a place of love for humanity as a whole, of how wonderful and terrible we are.

What I draw is...A lot freer. I draw to think and rest, and unless I'm turning a story into a comic or illustrations set, it really mostly is just going where my hands bring me. I love colours and movement, and small details make me happy.

If you wish to walk with me, for however long, I'd love to have you here!

(p.s. You can find my stuff linked here♪)

I always go down several rabbit holes when I write or draw and sometimes I might want to yap about it more than what I can do on AO3! Due to the nature of this tag, it's bound to contain spoilers.

So Hank Green got caught using AI and it’s a whole huge blow up, and I really don’t have much interest in adding to the pile on.

However, I do think this case is great example of what happens when smart people decide they can use these systems “responsibly.”

Let’s put aside the plagiarism and the energy use for a second (not that these don’t matter, but they’re not relevant to my point at the moment) and pretend these systems were made with entirely properly obtained info and ran on only solar, but otherwise were entirely the same. If you’re a person, you might think “okay, I’m going to only use this to come up with ideas for my next paper: I’m going to do all the research myself and the writing, I’m just gonna brainstorm topics.”

The thing is, even if you’re trying to limit use to just “brainstorming” the chatbot isn’t going to limit itself to just brainstorming. You might ask it “what should I write about involving Greek history” and it may suggest “the plague of Athens” but it’s also going to suggest some “basic info” on the plague of Athens that you might end up picking up and deciding your topic is. It’s going to provide you with “research.” And even if you decide to check that research yourself, that’s still setting you down a specific path you might not have picked organically.

And speaking of double checking its “research”, fact checking is a time heavy process. Not only now do you have to read the original text the bot provided, but you also have to compare it line by line with the summary the bot provided. That’s more time than it would have taken to just read the article by itself. And with any time heavy task, people are going to get lazy. And in original research being lazy might mean skimming a paper or an abstract, chatbots allow you to be lazy without looking at the article at all.

And soon enough, despite telling yourself you were only going to use it for brainstorming, you have offloaded topic generation, research and eventually even drafting because that’s what these bots are intended to do. They are not meant to serve as research tools or help brainstorm or serve as a bouncing off board: they are built to encourage maximum engagement. And that means if you go at them with the best of ethical intentions, they are built to tempt you to use them as much as possible, regardless of whatever line you drew in the sand for yourself.

Anyway, my main thought here is you are not smart enough to outwit the dopamine machine. It wants your attention and nothing more. Do not assume you can resist just because you know what’s under the hood.

[goodluckdetective]

Whenever you decide to use a tool, you should consider “what is this tool designed to do” and for LLM’s that answer is “maximize user engagement.” Anything else is in service to that goal.

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

If (when) you repost this on pinterest at least put a link to the original post somewhere..

"when people ask how you're doing, they don't really care." most of them do, actually, the amount they care is just directly proportional to how well they know you. you're just mad you can't be the main character of the Twice Daily.

if i am doing shitty and the check out girl asks me, "how are you?" i will say,"man, i've been better." we are strangers to each other. she doesn't need to know my whole life story. she doesn't need to know about my credit score and my hemorrhoids or my uncle in the hospital. she just needs enough to respond "been there, buddy. hey, at least the day is almost over?" and then we part ways. i have been on both sides of thousands of exchanges like this, the only one making you do a little song and dance is you, my friend

i haven't seen anyone in the tags or comments (edit: just saw the one reply) point out the fact that this is generally what happens when you try to stage a coup in a country that has compulsory military service for male citizens between the ages of 18 and 35. you aren't dealing with an untrained populous. these guys protesting have the same exact training and often the same backgrounds as the military who are supporting the coup. it also creates a very different dynamic in terms of interactions on the ground.

Also, Conor McGregor blew out his knee in like nine seconds last night and Drake lost a million dollars betting on him.

So even better

Hello!

I'm trying real hard to get commissions back in full swing after leaving most socmeds and taking a health related hiatus, and I would love it if you could help me get a VGen Code!

If you would be so kind as to helping me get 5 comments and 100 likes I'd be grateful!
