Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit

Saw this when I was in London this summer, I stopped my friend to point at it and said "holy shit it's the statue of Theseus fucking the Minotaur" in the middle of the very busy museum.

One of the major dividing lines of our age is between those who think it's worthwhile to cooperate and work with other people, accepting their flaws and limitations, to build something larger than ourselves, and those who think everything is fundamentally hopeless and that other people are corrupt, degenerate, and suspect. And the latter is not conducive to having any kind of culture at all.

The one thing C.S. Lewis said that I still categorically agree with is that every age has its prevailing - he calls it "sin", I'd rather call it a "failure mode"- and people will try to paint that sin's opposing virtue as a vice.

In an age where people are cruel, people will try to paint kindness as weakness. In an age where people are greedy, people will try to call frugality tacky.

... I think our time's failure mode, at least in America, is despair. And people sure are quick to paint hope as complacency.

#'complacency' is close but not quite I think -- #-- the problem is that hope is seen as COLLUSION #if this world is so filthy and fucked as to be beyond redemption#then by engaging with it AT ALL -- regardless of what you are trying to achieve -- #-- then you are validating it. normalizing it. glorifying it even! #behaving in a way that suggests that the world DESERVES to exist #suggests the people in it DESERVE to live and have their situations improve #and well! that's pretty Problematic of you. #the only Correct way to regard the world is with complete and total nihilistic passivity. anything else makes you a filthy collaborator #salty sunday (via @mikkeneko)

Lowkey looking for a few good girlies (gender neutral) to co-found the Superman’s Secret Harem Tumblr-matic Universe.

We need plus size!reader x Superman, black!reader x Superman, trans/nb!reader x Superman, furry/alien!reader x Superman. The sky is the limit.

It’s giving “my parents sold me to One Direction” except we’ll all have slumber parties in the Fortress of Solitude and teach Gary how to play Light as a Feather. Anyone with me?
