Hello hello! :-] Just an OSDD collective here to post about random topics, our hyper fixations, other happenings, and anything else on the ol’ brain.

Our host is who you’ll probably see posting the most on here along with the occasional alter. I’m the host typing this right now, Tolver / or Otto. Either name works. He/Him [oe/oen + t/te] pronouns.

voter suppression against black people is reaching Jim Crow era levels in the US so please get registered to vote now, learn who's going to be on your ballot in advance, try to talk some sense into your conservative relatives or coworkers (diplomatically), and, when November rolls around, vote to make Republicans lose as many seats as possible. there are many other things to do, of course, but the midterms will have a massive impact on the future of civil rights.

You could make a vent post about having no friends and it’ll blow up and people will start reblogging it just to say things in the tags like “#this would be me except I’m beloved in the community and every year all my awesome friends who would die for me come together and throw me a big surprise party because they adore me so deeply”

#tolver’s.reblogs #yeah it always rubs me the wrong way.#like cool I’m glad you are surrounded by good people. Everyone deserves that joy in their life.#but to hear someone else being open about their genuine struggles in making friends and immediatley turning it into ‘haha couldn’t be me!’#that does make you a shithead. people already have a hard time talking about these things and you are pushing them further into this #concept of self blame and invalidity. It makes people feel worse.#if you want to talk about your friends thats great. but going onto a vent post about the struggles of isolation etc is just #shitty to do.#not every post is for you lmao

I am sort of frustrated about that post I made about Google Gemini giving an AI summary of Tumblr users if you google a URL because it quickly turned into a long post where people started sharing all the things the AI got wrong about them, and I'm not saying it isn't good for a laugh when an AI is wrong, but I feel like people are missing the point. Who cares if the AI offers information about you that's wrong? What's worrying is all the information the AI got right.

That initial accidental google I did of a mutual returned an AI summary that was absolutely correct, and featured information about them that would not have been obvious from a quick perusal of their blog. The first few times I googled myself the AI overview was 100% correct. The version of that post that is circulating is not the one where I shared that the AI gave me someone's real name. I had hoped that it had screwed up and it wasn't their real name after all, but no, I checked with them, and just by googling someone's Tumblr URL, I got their honest to goodness legal name. Do you have any idea how dangerous that is? Like yeah I get that it's fun to go, "Haha, AI bad at collecting information," but that's not the problem. The problem is that sometimes AI good at collecting information, and it can collect a lot more a lot faster than a normal human can, by running multiple searches simultaneously and cross-referencing a lot of different documents all in a few seconds, for a level of snooping that would take a real person hours or even days, if they could do it at all.

That is so dangerous and I need people to be angrier about the fact that Google thinks it's okay to let their AI do this for online users. If you google your legal name and you're not already famous the AI won't say shit. Because that would be creepy and invasive! So why does Google think it's all hunky dory to do it for random internet users?
