the phd funding arc is finally. going. somewhere.

took approximately one million years, several existential crises, and at least three "maybe i should just become a lighthouse keeper" moments but. supervisors are lovely. city is good. funding is secured (partially. we don't talk about the rest yet)

it's giving it might actually be fine energy and i refuse to jinx it but also. it's happening. maybe!

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

Reaching out to potential supervisors has turned me into a delirious little spreadsheet goblin. I need to start keeping track before I email the same professor twice.
