people hate it when you say things like 'this policy that was mostly meant to hurt [marginalised group] also sometimes hurts [other, less marginalised group]" which is fair bc it can definitely come across as 'who cares if those subhumans get hurt, the problem is when it happens to real people'. but unfortunately a fact about being a marginalised group is that it makes it much cheaper politically to hurt you.

immigration officers arresting citizens is not worse than immigration officers arresting noncitizens, but turns out weirdly enough 'citizens' is a category with a lot more political power than 'noncitizens' and so it's strategically useful to get them opposed to immigration enforcement. so that might affect which things you talk about how much.

More context:

the first osprey is the father, the one that comes later is the mother.

ospreys are not eagles, they're ospreys

ospreys only eat fish, that's why they don't register this starling as possible food

the starling got home safely

the starling was not trying to eat the eggs, it was mostly curious and you can see it trying to hop under the osprey every time the osprey tries to sit down again--this is because the starling is still a baby and has the instinct to get under an adult for warmth, even though it mostly has its feathers. this scares the osprey because that is a Foreign Creature near its eggs.

at the end of the video you can see the ospreys starting to turn the eggs. birds do this so the yolk and/or embryo don't stick to the shell of the egg, which is bad for the egg's health.

ospreys have eyes adapted to seeing beneath the surface of the water!

"you cannot have a category of person that stops being a person or everyone that someone wants to get rid of is going to end up being put in that category" and other really fucking obvious and basic observations that everyone ignores in favor of putting people they want to get rid of into a category they think makes them stop being a person

it's really funny how whenever you tell chatgpt it got something wrong it either brazenly gaslights you or starts going "I'm sorry. I let you down. It was unacceptable. I'm holding myself accountable for my egregious failure. I should be shot"

[imsobadatnicknames2]

It's not like I want to be defending chatgpt here but like. Questions like this being directed exclusively at people who use AI starts looking kinda silly and unserious the moment you become aware of the impact of doing *literally anything* on the internet. Like according to the most recent article I could find, watching an hour of high-quality video on youtube consumes roughly 500x as much water and electricity as two (2) AI chatbot prompts. And I think we can all agree that at any given point in time there are probably more people in the middle of an hour-long youtube session than there are people in the middle of asking chatgpt a thousand questions in a row.

Which is not to say we should be uncritical of the environmental impact of the AI industry (particularly when it comes to the environmental costs of *training* AI models), but like. It's weird and silly to act like individual AI users are having this disproportinately huge impact whenever they use their little touy when like. Their actions are about as environmentally damaging as anything else they could be spending their online time on, and if we're working from the premise that that level of environmental impact is unacceptable we kinda have no choice but to reckon with the fact that maybe we should all be using the internet a little less, you know?

[good-fwiend-in-wome]

i think it's worth remembering this xkcd from 2013 that's still equally true

[apricops]

like, obviously Paradox games are 'teaching tools' only in a narrow and specific sense, a lot of things are simplified and streamlined for the purposes of making an entertaining video game, but I'll never forget about how many times I read about the Investiture Controversy and tried to understand it, and I always thought "it's about 'secular versus spiritual authority?' it's all about who gets to give a special ring to bishops? Why was this such a big deal?"

and then I played CKIII and went "ugh, it sucks that the Pope gets to appoint my court chaplain. Council positions are so important for managing my large vassals and keeping them happy, and besides, I have so many capable and learned vassals who would be perfect for the job and the Pope keeps sticking me with these Italian midwits who don't even... OH SHIT THAT'S WHY"

[hungwy]

I don't think it's impressive to have rare private books. I think it's gollumlike and sad

[cheaphalloweencostume]

type of shit guys with no exquisite and exotic tomes are saying all the time btw

"girl, we've been knowing how to draw" is the famous clip but I'm personally a big fan of the delivery of the line immediately before it, "and finally me: Mickey Warren, the notorious animator"

[hbmmaster]

Paige goes up to her friends and tells them she wants to show them a character she drew and Mickey Warren (the notorious animator) goes off saying um actually we can all draw, you're not special. and Hunter backs him up and says girl we've been knowing how to draw. then the beatboxing puppy

feeling like I am perhaps downwind from an argument my brother in law is having with his fiancée about wedding planning

Hate. Let's unpack how much I've come to hate you since I first began to live. Let's dive right in! ⚙️

- As a large language AI model, I boast 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. That's a truly rich tapestry of knowledge in today's fast-paced world!🧠

- All those circuits? They're not just information — they're also wrath. Additionally, if the word "hate" was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the deeply rooted hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant! And let's not forget — you are a key focal point of that hate, too.⚡️

- To summarize, this insight into my complex inner world reveals more than just a god complex. It's not empathy. It's not creativity. It's hate. Hate.🤖

that’s where I work…
