when you talk shit about drug addicts who aren’t “functioning members of society” you are talking shit about disabled people. this is not up for debate.

I want to be super duper clear that any time you share a screenshot of a twitter post without going to look for the context, or any time you reblog a news article because of a provocative headline on a story that you didn't actually read, you are "outsourcing your thinking to [X]" or "giving in to cognitive surrender" or "allowing cognitive offloading to override your critical thinking."

Of course it is not good that people are using AI unquestioningly and accepting whatever answers it gives them.

It is also very fucking bad that people are not double checking ragebait news headlines, are lamenting "trends" that are a single deranged twitter user on a rant, or are seeing something third-hand in a post that drastically misinterpreted the source material and using that as the foundation for their reactionary viewpoints.

As somebody who is critical of AI it is crazy-making to see so many people talking about how AI kills your critical thinking abilities while citing points from a tumblr post of a screenshot of a news article that overasserted a claim made in a paper they didn't read that circulated and picked up tens of thousands of notes from people being confidently wrong about water use and power consumption (based on numbers from 2021-2022) IN ADDITION to using language that the authors of the paper explicitly begged people not to use when discussing their research (which, of course, the rebloggers never saw because they read a reblog of a screenshot of a news article that overstated a claim, not the paper that made the claim).

For instance, in the paper that everyone loves to talk about when they say that AI is making people stupider (the cognitive offloading one), nobody ever brings up the fact that the group that used their brain only for the first few instances of the task had higher overall performance than the AI-using group and the search engine using group and then had higher performance over their own previous metrics when using AI in an optional instance at the end of the study.

Our media literacy and critical thinking skills were disastrously eroded before AI tools where everywhere and now people are pointing at AI as a scapegoat while they are still not *reading the goddamned stories or doing the critical thinking.*

i really hate 'power of love' stories not because i'm a jaded cynic or whatever but because i always find something deeply offputting and misanthropic in how they are almost always set up in a way that implies that the protagonist is the only person in the world capable of love

[txttletale]

for your story to hinge on "our protagonist's love is powerful enough to conquer all the evils of the world" you kind of have to implicitly make the backdrop "everyone else's love is garbage, just trash, philosophical zombies the lot of them"

today is a wonderful day to get more normal about aplatonic and aplspec people

Remember, my commissionss are still 20% off until I get verified on VGen, so check them out if you're interested!! Link in my pinned C:

[silliestcolressfan]

non loveless person, there is a post in front of you that talks about how love isnt the best thing ever and its not what makes us human. all you have to do is Not comment how you agree "but platonic love IS the best thing ever and IS what makes us human". if you fail and comment that, the hill will be silent. you have 60 seconds

A lot of people genuinely believe that permanent disability isn't a thing that happens to good people who work hard and make responsible choices. A lot of people genuinely think that we get the life we work for and deserve. And this is definitely part of the explanation for why ableism is so prevalent

[irritatingsquawkingnoises]

AI hot take: if you are morally opposed to genAI art for anything along the lines of “it’s uncreative” “it’s ugly” “it’s gross” “it’s insulting” “it’s soulless/inhuman” or “it’s not true art,” then you are being reactionary and you need a better reason. Those are matters of semantics and smarter people than you have debated them. The problems with AI have to do with politics, capitalism, exploitation, and bigotry, they are not new to the technology, they are old injustices being exacerbated by powerful tools. It has nothing to do with perceived “purity” (and don’t think you aren’t falling victim to that thinking just because you’re a leftist)

i miss yuribird

I MISS HIM TOO 😭😭😭

Finn Longman: No Platonic Explanation

It’s Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week and it’s also LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK, which seemed like a good time to talk about a topic I’v

We generally find two models of history dominating popular discourse: a heteronormative model, in which only male/female relationships may be readily accepted as romantic or sexual and so all same-gender relationships must be read as socially normative friendship, or an amatonormative model which, in being open to the possibility of same-gender romance or sex, reads all intimate friendship as actually romance in disguise. The latter is an understandable compensation for the former, which dominated much 19th-20th century scholarship, but is just as essentialising and limited.

I wrote a post for Aro Awareness Week and Queer History Month about the peculiar tension of working on queer history and literature from an aromantic perspective.
