Kind of obsessed with the way our stupid monkey brains are so easily convinced AI is smart or sentient just because we’ve trained it to respond with little human like/dopamine inducing touches.

Like it’s crazy that people’s idea of a successful AI program is one that can successfully gaslight idiots into thinking they’re talking to a person/ generating unique content.

When in actuality- you mess with it enough, you end up seeing the patterns of recycled personality and responses- and you remember this is actually just the big copy and paste machine they taught to have a specific kind of flair.

The only interesting use of “ai personalities” I’ve seen are the videos Doug Doug makes, and even then he makes it pretty clear the funny part of what he does is building up and fucking with the limitations of an AI’s ability to predict/interpret prompts. Because at the end of the day he knows AI’s still run off the language of computers- and the ironic disparity in a computer’s interpretation of humanity can be hilarious meme fodder- especially when paired with the nonsense of a massive twitch chat mob.

And then at the same time there are actual very cool and interesting functional uses for AI that don’t involve stealing people’s work to profit off- AND NOBODY EVEN TAlKS aBOUT THaT.

accurate howl's moving castle film adaptation but it's filmed like a mockumentary

daffodil--lament

howl [interview while he's messing with potions in his shed]: what do i think of sophie? well. she's my cleaning lady. she cleans a lot of stuff. she cleaned my bathroom the other day. i hate it when people touch my stuff. for example one time michael came in and tried to do a spell but he moved the sulphur so i accidentally used dried lemon zest instead and the entire shed blew up. i lost both my eyebrows and calcifer was sick for three days. i cried for weeks. magic is very touchy stuff, you know. a lot of people don't realize how careful you have to be. one time -

michael: if you ask howl any questions about sophie or how he feels about her he just slithers out of them. i ask him if he likes her cooking and he gives me more chores to do. i don't do them, obviously. that's sophie's job

thinking about immediately post-hmc when michael is off courting martha and a newly-freed calcifer is out enjoying the open air and the cavernous sky and howl is... elsewhere, and sophie comes home to the castle after a long day of selling flowers by herself to find the hearth empty and cold and the workbench vacated and the creaking walls still and stationary, void of fire demon magic keeping it animated, and she blinks rapidly exhausted and sad and missing her family and resigns herself to a dinner of quiet and lonely proportions but the door swings open and howl's there. he's got a glint in his eyes and expensive clothes for her under his arm and a laughingly barbed remark under his tongue but it's softened, now, by his heart, and when he lights the hearth with a flick of his wrist it's not quite as warm as calcifer's smirking green flames but sophie is warmed — and the door keeps swinging open, and howl keeps coming home, and the castle keeps settling into its old bones, aching and slow as a curse.

Actually I think we should let Americans do their own eurovision because that way they'll stop pestering us about it. It's like giving your cat a cardboard laptop so it stops trying to lie on yours while you're working. Containment zone

to all the europeans freaking out about the american eurovision:

don’t.

literally like 1% of the population here even knows what eurovision is. we are flooded by singing/talent competition shows and none of them are special anymore. we ripped off the masked singer too and the novelty of that wore off in less than a year. legit our non-cable channels are flooded with these kinds of shows. theres no cultural significance to it, theres no history behind it, not enough people care/have pride in their own state (except like, texas), it’ll be nothing but another hollow tv show.

People be freaking out on op because their feeling are hurt. Op is for real though, it’s just another business move thing. Other regions of the world have done this, but this concept just doesn’t “work” in America for all the obvious reasons. There’s a reason why it hasn’t been done before. (And the reason why it’s not even really a “Eurovision” style contest with many countries)

At the end of the day it’s not really gonna be long lasting or effect the really cool culture and history Eurovision has.

Even to Americans, the allure of Eurovision is BeCAuse its only Europe, it’s foreign and different and full of bops. Americans watching eurovision did not want to see more American content

I’m watching the Will Ferrell Eurovision movie, and it is established early on that the host city is the previous year’s winner. Then later one of the characters states, “But everyone hates the UK. Zero points,” implying that there’s no way the UK could win. But the contest is being held in Edinburgh.

Conclusion: the movie takes place in the good timeline, where Scotland gained independence and then won Eurovision without the rest of the UK.

So the movie wins points from me for that fact alone.

It exsists in the Ferrelverse

Diet for clear skin 🥑

Diet is no. 1 factor in clearing your skin. You can use most expensive products, but if your diet is bad, your skin will never clear up. Best way to clear your skin is to solve a root problem, which usually comes from the inside of your body. It can be inflammation, too much sugar or fat, or hormonal imbalance. All those things can be fixed by a good diet. Here is a diet plan to follow to get clear, healthy and glowing skin:

What to eat:

- food rich in antioxidants (dark colored plants, like berries, kale and broccoli)

- food rich in vitamin A (carrots, red potato and salmon)

- food rich in zinc (meat, shellfish, nuts and seeds)

- whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal)

- healthy oils (foods rich in omega-3 - olive oil, mackerel, salmon, chia seeds)

- foods rich in vitamins (tomato, apple, kiwi)

- a lot of water, green tea and vegetable juice

What not to eat:

- dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream)*

- processed sugars (candy, sauces, sodas)*

- unhealthy fats (sunflower oil, palm oil, vegetable oil, animal fat)

- unhealthy carbs (white bread, pasta)

*foods to avoid completely (100%), very important

It’s important to follow this diet consistently, not only when your skin clears up, so that it stays clear. Also, give it a month in order to see results, don’t give up by first week. Remember, don’t restrict yourself too much, it’s okay to cheat once in a while and you don’t need to follow this plan word by word, but it will definitely give a best result, and not only will your skin clear up, you will also have much more energy and be healthier overall.

Disclamer: If your skin doesn’t clear up in a month of following this diet, you might have more severe hormonal imbalance. Contact your doctor in order to get your hormones checked.

Guess I’m living with shitty skin, because I am never giving up cheese… NEVAH!!!

The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.

I’ve used these to outline term papers. nothing like a bath to get your brain to finally kick into gear and figure out your damn thesis

Are you kidding, shower crayons are the BEST when you share a bathroom with other people. When I was in college, we had them and we would use them to carry on philosophical debates, finish song lyrics, get life/writing advice, etc. It was so much fun and I miss it.
