“Or what, should I prove to you that I’m really Acacius? Because you know me even better than you know Professor Raoul, do you? You know me so well that you’d notice in a second if someone you saw near daily was replaced?” I laughed meanly. “Oh, wait. You wouldn’t.”

hey yall. i know i don't use tumblr a lot anymore but i'm in something of a situation, i was supposed to get my tax return ($2700) on monday and it's the end of the workday tuesday and i still haven't heard a thing. both my checking and savings are overdrawn and they killed my payment plan for my medical bills because my autopay declined (i was planning on having the tax return to cover it lmao). my credit is already in the shitter and i am now really fucking stressed because i can't buy dog/cat food for the next week let alone address those payment plan issues

I have a ko-fi where you can also request writing if you'd like, or if you want to dm me for paypal/venmo i can do that too & i can even pay you back once i get the tax return i just like. am stuck right now. sucks

-- Ted Chiang, from "Why A.I. Isn't Going to Make Art"

[oldshrewsburyian]

I'm so glad they got Ted Chiang -- a wonderful writer of science fiction and thinker about technology, in my opinion -- to write this essay. My favorite line was this:

Generative A.I. appeals to people who think they can express themselves in a medium without actually working in that medium.

“I think I evened the score a bit while you were out, you know,” Phainon calls over his shoulder. Still no response from Mydei, only the sound of corrupted flesh tearing. Phainon supposes that in itself is response enough. He yanks his sword from the neck of his last opponent and stands, trying to catch his breath. Yet his uneasiness lingers still, rising thickly into his throat. The hairs on the back of his neck rise as his instincts scream at him to move. Corruption surges towards him from behind, and he tightens his hand on the hilt of his sword once more, whirling on his attacker— —and he stabs Mydei straight through the upper chest, just beneath his collarbone.

Phainon and Mydei investigate a village drowned by the black tide. When Mydei falls, something else gets back up.

“...I suppose I should be honored, then.” “Yeah, well.” He shifts in discomfort. “Keep it to yourself, would you?” “Oh, really? Here I was intending to use you as a case study for a thesis on the lingering effects of dead aeons.” “You—” Aventurine snaps his head around to see Ratio smirking at him and groans. “That’s not fair, doc.” “Such is the case for much in life.”

chapter 2 is up! approximately 4.7k words and it features two of aventurines greatest fears: ratio taking a hit for him and emotional vulnerability

nurse: doctor... the patient is flatlining... we dont have nearly enough yuri to sustain them!

doctor: tch... i guess theres no choice...!!

*doctor pulls in nurse for a tender embrace and a beat passes before they kiss passionately*

*pulse starts again*

nurse: i cant believe it...! doctor youve saved yet another patient through your unorthodox methods!

doctor, looking out the window to avoid the nurse's adoring gaze: suppose i have...

doctor, thinking: sigh... will i ever get to approach her not out of obligation but out of ...love...;!

nurse, thinking: i hope she doesnt realize ive been manufacturing the yuri shortage to engineer these kinds of scenarios

moral of the story: the doctor was a woman
