theyre weaponizing my autism for the good of the household (I am the designated sock matcher because I'm the only one with the patience and quick pattern recognition to do it)

in winter you sit in a dark room and don't go anywhere because roads are flooded and it's dark outside. in the summer, however, you sit in a dark room and don't go outside because the world is on fire and the air is choked with smoke

I always forget that there's a season out of the year where I'm nauseous and sticky always

I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

[amanitaphalloides]

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right

[wakor]

Exactly. I think about this a lot when I see "ChatGPT is always confidently wrong" arguments, not because genAI is often right, but because the argument doesn't work on people who actually use it regularly.

It isn't always wrong. It's often correct enough for the average person's day to day usage. If you say, "it always gives misinformation", they're going to ignore you because just that morning it gave a perfectly functional summary of their meeting's notes. It correctly identified some vegan restaurants in their area. It accurately calculated some math for them.

If it was always wrong, no one would use it. The danger is that you can never tell when it's going to be wrong, and when it's right enough that people start to trust it and not double check anything (automation bias), the things it gets wrong become catastrophic. Sometimes automation bias is so bad that mistakes compound and proliferate for ages before anyone catches it (ie: the company who were making financial decisions based off of hallucinated forecasting).

the average tumblr user's inherent inability to detect sarcasm facetiousness irony or just a regular old bit explains why booktok is nothing but books that read like "he walked into the room because he was going there. it was dark because it was night which is why he turned on a light. which is a metaphor"

I sure accidentally hit my head on stuff a lot for someone who isn't a toddler

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

this is the second time in a row they've put in a filling for one of my teeth and it's just Broken within a day. they fixed the previous one and the repaired filling has suffered no damage. another one I got recently seems to have broken. Why Does This Happen

[flimberjurbles]

"science meets art?" babe they've been lovers for millennia

was complaining about being cavity prone (no matter how regimented my brushing routine is, I naturally came to possess bacteria that makes a SHIT ton of acid and erodes my teeth) to an older family member because this is my third dentist visit in only a couple of months. she told me that she thinks that maybe she might be cavity prone too because the most cavities she ever went to the dentist with was 42

so I guess my whole lineage is screwed when it comes to tooth stuff.

There's a work truck outside and the little kids in the neighborhood are going crazy because there's WD-40 in there. they are losing their minds. I want in on whatever this inside joke is
