“it’s also good to learn that life isn’t fair!” i don’t WANT children to accept unreasonable discipline from adults!! i don’t WANT children to expect the adults in their lives to punish at random and ignore their explanations!! the world isn’t fair but we could sure work to make it fairer
and you know what? i am REALLY sick of these ads that are openly mocking people for being concerned about the products they’re selling.
Amazon’s super bowl ad where the Alexa mocks Chris Hemsworth for being worried about giving spy software control over his entire life. Waymo’s ad with the intro “the robots are coming!” mocking people who are rightfully extremely concerned about sharing the road with, or riding in, self-driving cars.
i don’t know, it’s just genuinely insane to me. “Oh, you have legitimate concerns about our shitty product? sounds like you’re just lame!!!” like what kind of “quiet part out loud” marketing is that?
Friend of mine was submitting a job application and discovered that they REQUIRED a photo:
We’re trying to decide which of these is a better option:

magneto: how do you have so much faith in humans to do the right thing when they have proven you wrong time and time again?

i don't usually vibe with resource management games but fields of mistria has been pretty chill so far. i have a track record of losing in unlosable games like stardew valley and minecraft so don't think i'm playing it properly but it does scratch a certain itch only harvesting every elfroot i can has previously alleviated
i don't wanna talk about it
Job Interview Tip: if you come to the end of an interview and your interviewer asks if you have any questions and you don't, yes you do, your question is 'what does the timeline look like going forward'.
This demonstrates a) your interest, b) your attention to relevant detail, and c) that you're treating this like a professional whose time is valuable. It's also useful information for you, since it means you will have at least a loose sense of when to expect news about your success or failure. And unless the interviewer has already explicitly discussed it, it's always relevant.
it's good that we're saying "i don't feel guilty about pleasure im not Catholic" but we also need to start saying "i don't feel self-righteous about being overworked I'm not Puritan"

my mom just had a 7cm brain tumor removed and since she's woken up she's been talking nonstop about this dream she had about going to an art gallery full of colourful paintings by a 'homosexual artist' named klimsdorf who was ethereal and wise, both young and old... at first she was convinced he was a real person but after failing to find him online she's accepted he was a figment of her subconscious mind and is now determined to bring him to life via painting his portrait herself. she's 67 and has never drawn in her life. and now this. blorbo from her tumor

Other useful AI Removal/Detection links
How to spot AI Hallucinations like a Reference Librarian (originally on Substack)
Library Freedom Project has a lot of handouts about AI on their Resources page
This is relevant to art also because it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reference images online during simple searches.
British tabloids killed Cambridge’s youngest-ever Black professor, Jason Arday. The Times literally ran ads for its hit pieces on the professor. 249 articles in 22 days would take a severe toll on anyone. Dr. Arday's university cleared him of the initial plagiarism charges, which were determined to be reasonable errors when writing a lengthy thesis. Journalists need to realize that their actions have consequences.

I do think the Hank Green AI thing makes it abundantly clear that if you have ADHD or any other mental illness and/or you are prone to addiction you need to avoid AI at all costs. This shit will rope you in, and if you have a mental illness that say, starves your brain of dopamine, you're gonna be extra susceptible to that. I won't use AI for a lot of reasons but one of the big ones is knowing how it would fuck with my ADHD and bipolar. Like yes, it's bad for the environment and giving money to rich scumbags and runs on plagarism, but even more than all that, it's straight up not safe at all and you really shouldn't use it if for no other reason than to protect yourself from whatever the fuck it might do to you.
saw a post recently in which the author wrote a reasonable sounding defense of the existence of data centers (not for AI processing, just in general) and a core component of their argument was that concentrated high volume data storage and processing was necessary for contemporary internet existence because the majority of data moved these days is video content (which is, compared to almost anything else, Really Big). and, for context, I'll be honest that I don't have any specific hate for data centers in general, although I'm viciously skeptical about the ways many of them are managed and operated compared to how they could be. but anyway what struck me about that argument later on the same day and I've been thinking about ever since is: what about ads? Internet ads have (as far as I can tell) almost exclusively abandoned banner and textual formats in favor of 15-120 second video spots. ignoring the question of whether they're conventionally or AI generated (and those are importent questions to ask, don't get me wrong!) what proportion of server traffic and data exchange on the public internet is dedicated to moving and displaying those video ads? To my knowledge there are no remaining streaming services that aren't ad-displaying (even if you can upcharge to bypass them), so if I'm watching for instance a 24-minute sorry I forgot it's the 2020s now 22-minute half hour episode of some show, how proportion of the data transfer demand and network traffic is prompted by my viewing is dedicated to the episode video file and what proportion is dedicated to auctioning, retrieving, and displaying the pre-episode, post-episode, and 1-to-3 mid-episode ad spots? What about if I'm, say, watching music videos (which are typically 3-5 minutes) on youtube, which have been pushed to have both pre and post video ads even at such a short length? assuming the argument that the public internet has principally become a video and multimedia access platform, how much data bloat would be immedtaely excised if we woke up tomorrow and all ads were magically banished? obviously I don't know the answer, but I do think it's a question worth asking
I really hate the way people will use the word "pretentious" as a way to describe art that engages in intellectual topics or has an unconventional presentation; in no small part because art that is actually pretentious genuinely drives me up a fucking tree
Pretentious art ≠ I didn't understand it / it was weird
Pretentious art = "Hey wait a minute, this person is full of shit!"
