so. i just learned that my entirely me-written resume flags as being AI-written by automated HR systems for a few writing quirks and the fact that i followed all the rules of good resume writing, which is apparently a telltale sign of AI use in this fucking hellworld. i've been desperately applying to jobs that i am massively overqualified for for months with no response, not even an interview, and now i find out that at least part of the reason is because some fucking moron decided that following the rules every career advisor has given me for a decade means i cheated and should be disqualified. the ai bubble cannot pop soon enough. what the actual fuck.
"frequent use of action-result sentences. bullet points all start with action verbs. no career gaps." girl what the fuck are you talking about. that's just resume writing advice being followed. i just did what i was told. it's a fucking resume. you're supposed to do all that stuff. what the fuck do you mean it looks ai generated and wouldn't pass basic detection systems?????????? for following the resume writing rules????????????
wishing every AI bro and ceo a very [REDACTED]
personalized ads are so funny to me
'hey we've been spying on you and tracking your every move. it's a culmination of state of the art technology and an unprecedented invasion of consumer privacy. a room full of men with made up jobs bent their will toward decades of constructing this system, defending it in court, and tirelessly innovating new ways to aggregate more data about you'
and the end result is
'yeah so uh we saw that you recently bought a car. so here's an ad for that car'
like no i'm good actually. you might be aware that i already have one
President Truman despised Billy Graham.
The one time they met in the White House, after Graham spent weeks begging for an appointment, was to Truman 'a waste of time'. After their meeting Truman watched from a window as Graham held a press conference outside for select reporters. Truman observed to a confidant that 'he's probably telling them some b.s. about advising the President. He's nothing better than a publicity seeker and an egotist. I never want to see him again.'
Graham went on to "advise" the next several Presidents, whether they liked it or not.
a new reality tv show called So you think you can write Doctor Who
twelve episodes, twelve contestants - a mix of annoying middle aged sci fi authors, fan fic authors and random people off the street
a variety of against the clock writing tasks, big finish scripts, ability to interact with actors without shouting at them and challenges where you have no budget or doctor for an episode
judged by solely by christopher eccleston
this is how you find the new doctor who showrunner
The judge really sold me. Christopher is the Gordon Ramsey of Who.
Things Doctor Who should be
a showcase for young/early career British acting talent and tv production talent in the UK
fiercely moral and borderline communist Saturday night family telly that's engaging for all ages
slightly parochial
12-14 episodes per series
cheap
Things Doctor Who should not be
open to any kind of input from any kind of USamerican
oops all stuntcasting
expensive
IMHO, it's the last five things that killed the show. Once you let US dollars and opinions into a show which already reduced the number of episodes per season due to budgets blown up by the "need" for CGI... well, that diluted what Who was. Remember some of the core rules of Who: (1) The Doctor lies. (2) Use the enemy's weapons against them. (3) The Doctor doesn't know everything and sometimes loses. Everything else is storytelling or padding. We needed more storytelling, more moralizing (think Four and his speech over blowing up the Dalek incubator room), and more cliffhangers. I love RTD and all his predecessors. They did what they could. Now let's focus on the books and audio series where budgets are irrelevant.
I do think time will be a little kinder to RTD2 than most currently imagine (especially since I strongly suspect part if not all of the reason he got the boot was for being 'too woke' for Disney, the increasingly reactionary BBC, and the increasingly reactionary UK public). And when that happens we can look at The Reality War as the absurd CGI cocaine flameout it so clearly is, the Silver Nemesis of its generation, surrounded by episodes that range from 'mediocre but an interesting idea' to 'genuinely pretty good'. You know, like all Doctor Who.
"This is the worst era of Doctor Who" no. There is no worst era of Doctor Who. All eras of Doctor Who are bad in their own unique way.
And by the way, anyone who says that the reason Doctor Who has been cancelled again is just down to bad writing choices and has nothing to do with the massive international algorithmically-driven hate campaign that has been gunning for this show since the second it decided to star a woman (and then kicked into overdrive the second it decided to star a black person) is out of their gourd.
I can (and will) criticize a lot of RTD's decisions for this series, but the one thing I won't is that he didn't give those people an inch of ground. And he lost his job for it. That's more important than some dodgy scripts.

This is the eighth anniversary of the official announcement teaser of The Elder Scrolls VI.
So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.
Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?
The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!
This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.
Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:
Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or
Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.
The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.
The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).
Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.
can ppl pls reblog this version
Well damn. I was also like wtf is this stupid slime tank and then I read the rest and my mind got blown
Space exploration will also want things like this.
i really like this thing where websites will have separate "log in" & "sign up" buttons and if you click "log in" it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click "i already have an account" and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose "username & password" it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says "do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?
