#reading and stuff

I just read The Incandescent by Emily Tesh and I am obsessed with Saffy. You know how sometimes a blorbo has all your worst qualities and you love them for it? That.

She’s such a former gifted kid! She is so convinced that she’s learned from her mistakes while visibly Not Having Learned At All!

It’s not even “This sign can’t stop me because I can’t read.” It’s “This sign is here to stop other people. I already know I should stop, which means I am smart enough to do it anyway and not face the conses of my quences.”

Ouuuggghh so good. I am rotating her. I am gnawing upon her. Emily Tesh you are so good at making me support women’s wrongs

yall gotta learn to separate "this character deserved better" (as in "this character has an intentionally tragic story that is supposed to feel bad") and "this character deserved better" (as in "this character had so much potential and was failed by the writer")

I think that relying too much in LLMs can indeed harm your capacity for learning, in the same way that poor systems of learning (rote memorization, just copying whatever without thinking) can. Learning is a thing you need... to learn. Even LLMs can be a useful tool for learning as long as you have a good learning strategy.

That paper that says that AIs cause COGNITIVE ATROPHY is still unreviewd and smells so much of bullshit that I'm tearing up from here. Do not share it uncritically.

If you saw me agreeing with being annoyed about wasted helium in a fictional context and were like "I bet she has some more helium based anger in her life" good news LAPD fucked up a raid on a medical facility they thought was a pot farm and flat out ruined thousands of gallons of the stuff.
