hi welcome to my blog
i'm not very active here anymore and 99% of my posts are queued (also i shuffle the queue frequently) so enjoy getting a random reblog notif from me weeks from when i actually looked at it
find me elsewhere if you wanna chat

mtg's the hobbit set is fucking hysterical because as it turns out there are not enough things in one very short book to make even a small magic set and so they are literally having to make cards of every ranbdom sentence that was said in the book just to fill slots
wouldn’t the Lord of the rings work better in that case?
ah, well, you see, they already made a Lord of the Rings set in 2023. it was a huge success and so they decided that clearly iut needed a sequel, and what better to form a sequel adaptation of comparable scope than the hobbit, something which has never gone wrong before,
I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh
not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right
Exactly. I think about this a lot when I see "ChatGPT is always confidently wrong" arguments, not because genAI is often right, but because the argument doesn't work on people who actually use it regularly.
It isn't always wrong. It's often correct enough for the average person's day to day usage. If you say, "it always gives misinformation", they're going to ignore you because just that morning it gave a perfectly functional summary of their meeting's notes. It correctly identified some vegan restaurants in their area. It accurately calculated some math for them.
If it was always wrong, no one would use it. The danger is that you can never tell when it's going to be wrong, and when it's right enough that people start to trust it and not double check anything (automation bias), the things it gets wrong become catastrophic. Sometimes automation bias is so bad that mistakes compound and proliferate for ages before anyone catches it (ie: the company who were making financial decisions based off of hallucinated forecasting).
call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support
and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?
I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things
my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say
Friend of mine calls it active listening. Ah yes we are speaking of tooths. I understand and respond. Here it a tooth image. I have heard you.

is it hard to learn piano as an adult? i want to try
challenging, but it helps a lot to stop treating skill as something you are either supposed to have or not have, which i guess is why a lot of people wait for the right moment to get into whatever it is that they find appealing, and then never end up doing so. just like with anything that requires consistency, what you do becomes much more interesting and enjoyable when you stop looking at "it" as one enormous task and start looking at it as a series of teeny tiny problems. you deal with one, you learn how to get to the solution and onto the next. you do not necessarily even have to go in order, it's a huge grass field for you to explore like a little baby sheep. you already have curiosity and perhaps even appreciation for it (surely) so why not... that is good enough of a reason. consistency matters more than intensity and everything worthwhile is built through repetition. guidance and asking for help are of great importance as well so never hesitate to reach out to other people (forums are awesome especially if you cannot afford classes) and i 10000% stand by this but believe in your ability to teach yourself. take something that catches your eye, look it up, dissect it, wonder about it and most importantly be welcoming towards it and don't be in your head so much

Something you notice when you go on a TERF blocking spree is how many of them have classical art as icons and banners and reference Greek mythology in their urls or blog titles. i wonder if there are any other political groups that define themselves by those interests... who's to say
i just wanna preserve this one because it's so fucking funny. me when i'm not a conservative
June and July are the same months btw. They want you to think they're two different months but it's the same month that's 60 days long. Same way August is actually August and the first half of September
this site ain't so bad. it's something to do in the mornings while ur bread toasts, right? ^_^
