not to be all "these two words will change your life" or whatever, but I promise you, programming in "good catch!" as your response to people correcting you/pointing out errors or whatever removes so much friction from interactions, and comes with a delightful happy meal toy of "not hating yourself so much for making mistakes"

I use "I stand corrected" a lot. The mild silliness of the outdated language makes it work for me.

I had a high school science teacher who would say "if you admit you're wrong and change your mind..." and the whole class would respond back "... you aren't wrong anymore!"

And when a kid would assert something incorrect In class, he wouldn't tell them they were wrong, he would help lead them to the right answer and then when they admitted/ accepted the new information, he'd say "now we're both right! Nice work!"

For a bunch of gifted kids whose identity and reputation often was staked on knowing more than most people, it was a great safety valve. No shame in making a mistake, because if you accept it you have learned! Now you are smarter! It always made me feel better.

thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

this is going around again and the tags are full of people talking about printing it out to put in their breakroom or cubicle or sending it to their coworkers, which fills me with great joy. vast diversity of professions represented also. zoos. labs. summer camps. restaurants. garden centers. libraries. schools. many reports from the brave warriors of assorted retail. a truth universally acknowledged: if there is a sign a customer will not read it <3 and they don't read emails either <3

having canon gay couples in my original novel because representation matters, but making sure there's at least two men of undefined sexuality whose bond "transcends labels" so the fujos can have enrichment

i get why people don't believe in marriage as a social construct but legally it is the best and easiest way to say "this is who i trust to take care of me when i can't take care of myself" and i'm so glad gay people fought for that right bc when shit gets scary at least i know im in good hands

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

television as of late is like. yeah nothing ever means anything. foreshadowing? never heard of her. bad cgi. bad cgi. bad cgi. yes i know we said this one good thing would be happening but we lied. oh and that gay ship our entire fan base adores is also not real and everyone who thought it was is stupid and clearly has been watching the show with their eyes closed. but do not mistake us. we love #thegays so here is gay background character #5 kissing another man. happy? shitty lighting. shitty lighting. shitty lighting. shitty lighting. we aren't racist but 98% of our cast is white and if that's not the case then the show gets cancelled. oh yeah so we did get another season but kind of lost the plot after the first and forgot a lot of little details because we don't really care about the story we chose to tell. brand promotion in the middle of an important scene. our entire cast hates each other btw. ad ad ad ad ad ad sponsorship sponsorship. poob has it for you
