I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.
Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.
#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain
Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"
I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.
Hope is punk. Despair is corporate.
white ppl will steal every aesthetic from black culture and then call it something so stupid like bo derek braids instead of box braids or hasbin hotel core instead of black southern dandism. yall will bend over backwards to call my culture barbaric/scary just to drool over the aesthetic the moment no actual black people are involved (21 pilots vs actual reggae). And if ur white/nonblack reading this just reblog. I dont need any comments talking about how not racist you are + speaking up over actual black people.
eventually you realize you donāt want to die. you just donāt want to live the life youāre living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.
no one needs to add āsounds fake but okā, ānoā, āwell, not meā, āimpossibleā, etc. to this post. and iād rather you not.
one day you think: I want to die.
and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book.
and I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun
I want a cleaner kitchen
I want a better job
I want to live somewhere else
I want to live
Top 3 things people love insisting they don't have despite it being impossible

Du Fu once wrote that a man āmust read the contents of five cartloads of booksā (ē·åæé”»čÆ»äŗč½¦ä¹¦). Real literacy, in other words, is born of wide reading. Without it, a person cannot describe themselves, construct the narrative of their life, or articulate it for others. What AI produces is not āthinking in language.ā An AI condenses its training data and outputs syntactically correct sentences, but it cannot leap to the deeper stratum where meaning is formed, where a text imagines hidden contexts, expands, implies, connects to other texts, and is reanimated the moment it touches them. A work written by someone with genuine literacy is expandable, implicative, linked to other texts, and able to activate fresh existence whenever it meets those connections; thus, it continues to live in the latent spaces of the future. When youths encounter such writing, they gain the tools to craft their own narrative to express, create, and realize themselves. Humans achieve agency by composing their lives in their own language. Without a narrative viewpoint on oneās life, there can be no reconstruction of that life, no ethical experience.

I clicked on this forest wildlife live stream on youtube, and as the stream opened there were like two dozen birds on the ground feeding, which all happened to get startled and scatter in unison the very moment it started playing for me, and it very immersively simulated the physical experience of suddenly happening upon those birds while walking in a forest clearing
don't know why the algo gave me this but i am very happy because i just opened the link and saw a fox AND a badger in the same minute. they are both still hanging out together in the night (forest is in denmark and that's +1h from where i am)
quick everyone look @ the badgers

#watching this monkey peel of the stringy bits#drop them on the babyās head#meticulously remove them#and clean off the stump#then wolf down that banana#is just really great#like a fussy little person
but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually
still not on mount everest this morning š alhamdulillah

MEET THE NEW FANSPLAINING -- an actual fandom journalism outlet! (Meaning journalism ABOUT fandom.)
my stance on the trans athlete debate is always and forever going to be that sports should be completely desegregated because humans have one of the smallest levels of sexual dimorphism in the animal kingdom and the disparity we see between male and female performance is entirely caused by social factors rather than anything biological. āshould trans women compete against cis womenā i think cis men and cis women could compete fairly but thatās apparently a little too spicy for people to wrap their minds around bc theyāve been told their whole lives women are biologically inferior & never thought to question that. or wonder if itās maybe a self fulfilling prophecy of some kind. are women biologically inferior or do they appear so because patriarchy demands that of us?

Mulan AU where she does get caught by the other fresh recruits while she's bathing but Mushu helps her spin it like the lake is cursed by an evil lizard demon and will turn men into women if they stay in it for too long.
From there it's not actually difficult to get the other soldiers onboard with covering up the fact that poor Ping took one for the team and got afflicted by the vagina curse, especially since it would have been all of them if they hadn't gotten the warning ahead of time. So they agree to help him cover it up, because obviously the army's not going to understand.
Shang is... tentatively glad that the men are bonding and getting along, even if they continue to be deeply weird about it.
Ling: Hey man, what's upā you've got boobs?!?!
Mulan: Uh, what boobs? Huh? Where did these come from?
Mushu: *facepalms and thinks quickly* (speaks from the shadows) I AM THE SPIRIT OF THE LAKE! BEWARE MY CURSED WATERS FOR THEY WILL TURN MEN INTO WOMEN!
Ling, Yao, and Chien Po: Oh no! The spirit of the cursed waters!
I love tumblr's dedication to solving problems in the funniest way possible.
i feel like people aren't getting how dire ai is. we are running out of drinkable water. our brains aren't engaging as much with what we see and hear. people near data centers don't get clean water and experience electricity blackouts. it's being used to make pornography of underaged people and women. it often just lies. it affirms everything. it lies. it has made people kill themselves. it lies for gods sake. and people act as if im dramatic for being staunchly against it. 'now i KNOOW you hate ai and whatever, but look at this cute video' this isn't me being a new age puritan about internet videos, this is about the fucking earth and our future living on this planet. people are suffering now, people will suffer more, and my friends and parents will roll their eyes and think im annoying for despising ai so explicitly. we need to wake up because we cannot live like this
Itās also taking many minerals that are needed for electronics (which are in phones, yes, but also MRIās, X-Rays, and lots of medical equipment), it takes an egregious amount of electricity, and itās going to tear down at least 1 economy, probably more. It will cause a shortage in necessary medical equipment and prevent places with ai centres from being as capable of switching to renewable energy. Itāll also tear the economy to further shreds (at least in 1 country) and likely cause many people to lose their lives due to it (via starvation, cold, or any other reason that can be attributed to not being able to afford survival). It lies because it doesnāt know the truth, it just spits out whatever doesnāt put it into the incinerate pile. Hence why itās horrible that it affirms everything
It was a semi-cool thing to me, and then it suddenly went public and the people using it were no longer aware of vaguely what goes on behind the scenes. Now they want to aggressively expand, which is causing even further horrid things.
Fuck ChatGPT and all of its horrid cousins.
Itās also going to destabilize politics in such a massive way, YOU ARE NOT SAFE.
New models can create almost unidentifiable video. New models can produce unidentifiable photos. What do politics become when people can be made to believe anything? When they canāt believe anything?
Weāve seen what happens when people didnāt trust science: anti-vaxxers have brought back diseases that were almost eradicated. The climate crisis is getting worse and worse and people donāt give a damn because they donāt believe environmental scientists.
So imagine when they can get people to vote what they want through outright lies.
Imagine when they have AI so advanced, combined with the surveillance state they have already managed to create through smart assistants and doorbell cameras, that revolution becomes almost impossible. Especially if the people arenāt on board in massive numbers.
Please, if you have people in your life who are neutral or positive towards AI, you have to try. You HAVE to try and make them understand how badly this could end for all of us.
