We don’t need to see every detail of a fictional character’s entire life played out scene by scene. Sometimes you meet someone and one day you never see them again.

idc what the show or anybody else tells me toph beifong's gender is tomboy and she doesn't give a fuck about being a pretty girl. he told me herself.

[genderkoolaid]

from the notes: my hc is that she doesn't really know what a trans guy is or that its an option. i think toph is like a butch from the 1910s in that he doesn't have modern western identity cis gay vs transhet framework, he's living in a pre butch-FTM split world. but also i think the experience of having been forced to be a docile pretty girlchild and how much her experience of resisting SPECIFICALLY that has shaped him. so like i think if someone called him a boy she'd be like hell yeah but identity-wise i think she'd just go with whatever term for tomboy / butch / dyke she heard used growing up. not an egg not cracked but a secret third thing (from the earth kingdom equivalent of 17th century china).

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.

Neural Nets have existed for decades and are genuinely useful. It's a form of AI that recognizes patterns, and can do stuff like identify cancer cells, tell whether an egg is fertilized or not, detect fraud, and optimize routes.

Those are Expert Systems, tuned to do exactly one thing. If you (say) ask a medical expert system a question about financial law, it's useless. The autopilot that flies a 787 has no idea how to drive a truck on the freeway. A Coulter Counter is excellent at identifying lymphocytes in a blood sample but can't predict the next card in a blackjack game.

And so on.

The problem with so-called generalized AI (AGI) is that we don't have that yet. It doesn't exist. It MIGHT some day, but AGI has been "10 years away" since the 1980s. The goals keep moving as we learn more about how people and machines process data.

But the current crop of AI techbros have been selling generative Large Language Model AI (LLM) as AGI because generative systems do a good job of faking it. There's no actual thought going on, merely the illusion of thought via predicting the next word in a sentence accurately.

If you let a human toddler listen to 800 hours of YouTube car influencer videos, that toddler might end up sounding like a car influencer. They'd parrot horsepower numbers and 0 to 60 times, mention EV range and MSRP numbers.

But they wouldn't understand any of it.

That's ChatGPT.

And yeah, it's worse than useless because it doesn't even know when it's lying or hallucinating. It just babbles convincingly until you stop it.

But for techbros to make money selling that as "AI"? It's the perfect scam, especially if you don't understand how it works.

I fucking hate it.

I just had an epiphany and now I have to rewrite my OC’s entire backstory for it

There’s an ad at the end of every reel on Facebook and when the ad countdown starts you can’t pause the video at all and when the ad starts you can’t watch that same video again without watching the ad all the way through even if you scroll away and go back to it I SWWEEEEAAARRR to god

[fishing-lesbian-princess]

This will sound biased because I am a girl with freckles everywhere, I think it’s very important to appreciate girls with freckles everywhere. She’s got cute little dots all over her body how could you not love that
