Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

DOES IT NOT STOP

[peach-pot]

I’m obsessed with ep 15 of ohshc not because of anything that actually happens in the episode but because hikaru seems to be wearing three tank tops the whole time

[peach-pot]

I’m captivated by his triple tank swag

[peach-pot]

okay I think there’s three possible options

three tank tops. weirdo.

two tank tops and one binder. still a weirdo but now he’s got transmasc swag.

one tank over TWO binders. not a weirdo, but his swag is revoked because of his unsafe binding practices.

[vang0bus]

one binder sandwiched between two tank tops. weirdo again

[trainwreckisawreck]

my argument for one binder sandwiched between two tank tops: the binder was causing sensory issues

[peach-pot]

transmasc AND autistic boy swag

[sofflepoffle]

Considering that the white straps are hanging out of the black layer I think it is absolutely tank top underneath a binder, but Hikaru needs to make it look like a fashion choice (tm) as opposed to hiding it under the straps.

[peach-pot]

he’s like if I wear my binder confidently enough no one will even realize what it is and you know what he’s right.

Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider has basis in western magic

Jupiter is correspondent with lead, which can decrease mental acuity.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion, the boys are getting more stupider, expanding their stupidity.

Historically speaking the boys did not literally travel to Jupiter. They engaged in a form of fasting and sleep deprivation to trigger an altered state of consciousness, at which point the would experience a descent to an "inner" Jupiter.

The choice of Jupiter is also meaningful. The celestial spirit of Jupiter is equated with both cronos and Demeter, and thus functions as a negative spirit, a being of unraveling and unmaking. This stripping away of smartness in the pursuit of getting more stupider is likely influenced by late Platonist philosophy. Plotinus places particular emphasis on the stripping away of misconceptions which in turn allows for proper cultivation of noesis; a process equated with rising back up to the sublunary realm. This is likely the context in which "going to Jupiter to get more stupider" was devised.
