sorry for [remembering a tumblr post about expressing gratitude instead of apologising to make the interaction more positive for the other person] i mean thank you for having a boyfriend who was so easy to run over withmy car and reverse over three times maybe four
reblog this and put in the tags something you watched that terrified you as a child. i was so scared of the hot sauce in spongebob that i refused to be in the room when it was on
PSA: if you're watching the new Knives Out mystery (Wake Up Dead Man), please be aware that around 1 hr 34 minutes in, there's a series of flashing/strobing lights. the sequence lasts about a minute.
This fanfiction writing is easy
i truly laughed out loud
still believe that one of the greatest bits of all time was on January 6th, 2021 when. well. you know. and twitter was understandably an echo chamber of panic and fear and Justin McElroy just tweeted a selfie with a filter that was like “have a delicious national spaghetti day” followed by 3 tweets that were like “fuck. i’m sorry. i don’t know how to delete scheduled posts” and as i type this two years later i’m laughing
a belated delicious national spaghetti day to you all
Why I Don't Like AI
Or, Use It Or Lose It
It's not just that Chat GPT essentially makes my job as a writer and editor obsolete -- if not now then definitely in the future -- although that's probably the reason why I was hesitant to jump into the deep when most people did. I wanted to observe it a bit longer from the outside, like I tend to do with most new technologies.
I see so many people who won't even write their own emails anymore, sit with a problem and come up with a solution, look up a simple fact on Wikipedia, or read their friends' long messages. And AI has just been around for just a few years. Scary.
It frightens me how fast people are willing to give up thinking and how many have surrendered their hard-earned skills in such a short time. I don't think people realize how fast you can lose a skill when you stop using it. (This is coming from my neurology angle. If you want to know more about this, the terms you need to research are "neuroplasticity" and the "use it or lose it" principle for neural circuits.)
It feels like the people who keep doing stuff without AI will be the only ones left with reasonably intact critical thinking skills, writing skills, and deep reading skills, and the rest of the world won't even realize what they have given away. And that's not even taking into account what's left of our attention span after nearly 20 years of social media.
Other reasons why I don't like AI:
It is factually wrong so often, but with such confidence, I don't think people realize it. It promotes misinformation and if AI keeps learning from AI, the problem will only grow.
Interacting with customer service bots almost never answers the questions I have.
I don't like it if a friend mentions they used AI to reply to my text message when they were tired. What the actual fuck? I want to connect with my friend, not with Chat GPT. I'd rather be left unread for days than get an immediate but artificial reply.
As you well know, AI capitalizes on the creative work of actual humans who worked hard to hone their skills.
The spaces where I share my art are flooded with "okay enough" AI slop, making it even harder for me to find and connect with my audience.
As a reader I agree with this tweet by Ian Boudreau: "Why should I bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write?"
It takes so much electricity and drinkable water to make AI run. That doesn't sit well with me, coming from a generation that's been told a million times to turn off the light when we leave the room or to turn off the tap while we're brushing our teeth. It feels like we're setting the planet on fire for short-term convenience.
I actually like to read and write. I don't want bots to do it for me and I don't want to be forced to let them do so by the programs or apps I use.
But I'd like to stress how much it frightens me how fast people are getting dependent on AI for normal things they used to do without thinking twice only two years ago. If social media demolished our attention span by just showing us entertaining clips, what do you think a program that takes care of your problem-solving will do?
People who are like “erm why would I take a 6 hour train when I can fly there in 45 minutes” are forgetting the mental toll of Being In An Airport which shortens your lifespan by 2 months each time
benoit blanc truly is a character of all time. who tf listens to skimbleshanks the railway cat full volume in their car on the way to a police station
you may think misogyny is good because it is made up of miso, which is delicious, and gyny, which is woman. and girl miso sounds great. but 👆 it is not girl miso

no context wake up dead man spoilers
I'm gonna just be basking in wake up dead man for a while and I'm sure I'll have more thoughts but good on them for doing such a moving story about religion and what it can mean to people and how it can be exploited and abuse but also heal while staying steadfast in the fact that Blanc is not religious. Because if there's one thing that old southern queen isn't, its fucking catholic
CHATGPT IS NOT A SEARCH ENGINE
CHATGPT IS NOT A SOURCE OF INFORMATION
CHATGPT IS NOT STUDY NOTES
CHATGPT IS NOT A WRITING TOOL
CHATGPT IS NOT YOUR FRIEND
anyway hoping that the generative AI bubble pops so disastrously that the tech industry becomes allergic to anything involving it for the next 1,000 years
Like to charge reblog to cast
it probably feels kind of good to get forcibly shut down as a frozen computer
