listen I’m so glad you all are having fun with the dragon incest show, but I need you to understand that from the outside all I see is approximately 14 posts per day of people in truly horrific wigs with captions like “baegael did nothing wrong except all the murders”

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

[sherl-grey]

actually writing the fic down

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

20 years?? I first went online in 1994, not long after Netscape Navigator became an absolute fucking revolution in terms of how people accessed the web. Anyone who could learn a little bit of html was building their own web page. You like medieval tapestries? Build a page. World expert on Chinese pottery? Build a page. No ads, no algorithms, just people who really liked something wanting to put their knowledge online so other people could see it. If you grew up with the internet, you have no idea what it was like coming from an analogue environment to suddenly being able to learn about some indie band on the other side of the world or some random person’s artwork or the history of a little town somewhere in a country you’d never visited.

And all that knowledge got scraped. All those little pages that got moved onto other sites over the years got scraped. 30 years of people’s interests and obsessions and lives scraped and sold back to us without any of the passion or soul of the original.

"Whimsy" is truly a wretched term. What maketh thee so carefree?

seeing as there's been a massive resurgence of everyone quoting "borderline violence" since George's driver radio at Spa in order to make fun of him, i love how all of those people have just conveniently fucking forgotten that George said this in response to Max threatening to put his head through the wall, and NOT in response to Max getting upset in general. George getting angry on the radio because his car is broken ≠ threatening physical violence to another person. crazy that people think this is somehow comparable

Bruh you know how bad it’s got to be that Damon Hill is calling out the cars not being the same? DAMON

printers behave like that because the medieval monks they put out of work are haunting them
