im grading final papers and i'm being a literal monster and i am so sorry to the students who are going to get these back, truly i am, but they also deserve it.

[sophsicle]

NOT to turn this into a rant about ai

but i feel confident that this is ai's fault. that either these students are using it to write their papers or are using it to do their research and like. stop doing that. stop it.

i got into a whole argument with my friend the other day because they were using chatgpt and i loath chatgpt with every fibre of my being it makes me want to eat my own hands. and they were all like

"why, how is this different than googling something?"

AND LIKE. when you google things google provides you with several pages of results, NOW, we all know that the way those results are being presented to us is being curated by google and their bottom line, but regardless, you are given multiple sources of information and YOU have to sort through it and YOU have to make decisions about what sources you're using. there is an element of critical thinking involved here, there is also more transparency in that you see the actual sources of the information you are getting. You are USING YOUR BRAIN.

chatgpt sorts the information for you. IT decides what is relevant. IT thinks critically (usually poorly but he's just a lil robot what can you expect from him it's a big world)

so now i have all these students who do not understand the importance of knowing where sources come from or who wrote them or how you need to use multiple sources to prove a point, now i have students who do not know how to sort through sources, how to make decisions about what is good and what is bad, or just what is useful to them. you don't know how to critically sort information.

it is TERRIFYING. and what is more terrifying to me is how willing so many people are to just hand over the responsibility of the thinking to an algorithm. like all i have is my brain. i swear to god that's it. i don't own property, i don't have fame, or immense talent. BUT I CAN THINK. like i can think. WHY are you giving that away so casually???? I don't GET IT.

I don't get it for school. I don't get it for art. I don't get it!!!!!

My ideal aesthetic is what I'm calling "sexy tomboy". That is to say, I am 100% femme through and through, but I want to look like what a straight man's idea of a "masculine woman" is. I wanna be masc in the way that LaCroix is fruit flavored, just a little extra something to make things a little more interesting

This you?

I don't think I'll ever recover from this one

the scariest thing about old tv isnt really the racism or the sexisim because you kinda go in braced for that it's all the scenes where suddenly an actress is holding a lion cub or a chimpanzee is in the same room as a toddler, or suddenly theres a lion, or there's a chimpanzee again but it's driving a car, or holding a lighter, or holding fireworks. You just kind of watch in horror as over and over an actress performs with only 1960s tv film shootings best animal handling between her and the opening to Nope.

Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I've been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange

Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You're jogging! Keep it up!

Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!

And goddamn if that didn't rewire my brain a little bit.

Last place is still a place, baby.

I know of a trail racing company that gives the slowest racer who finishes every race a DFL award: Dead Fucking Last. I was a little taken aback by this until I had it explained to me that those last-place finishers are pretty much uniformly people for whom finishing at all was an accomplishment: people undergoing cancer treatments, absolute beginners, runners in their eighties, extremely pregnant people, you get the idea. Moreover, what you see as this person crosses the finish line is all these sporty trail racers, many of whom finished the race literal hours earlier, cheering their hearts out because they respect that, yes, DFL is still a place, baby.

This NPR interview with with Angela Saini about how race science never really left the global scientific consciousness is super interesting! I’m gonna read her book!
