Something I don't think we talk enough about in discussions surrounding AI is the loss of perseverance.

I have a friend who works in education and he told me about how he was working with a small group of HS students to develop a new school sports chant. This was a very daunting task for the group, in large part because many had learning disabilities related to reading and writing, so coming up with a catchy, hard-hitting, probably rhyming, poetry-esque piece of collaborative writing felt like something outside of their skill range. But it wasn't! I knew that, he knew that, and he worked damn hard to convince the kids of that too. Even if the end result was terrible (by someone else's standards), we knew they had it in them to complete the piece and feel super proud of their creation.

Fast-forward a few days and he reports back that yes they have a chant now... but it's 99% AI. It was made by Chat-GPT. Once the kids realized they could just ask the bot to do the hard thing for them - and do it "better" than they (supposedly) ever could - that's the only route they were willing to take. It was either use Chat-GPT or don't do it at all. And I was just so devastated to hear this because Jesus Christ, struggling is important. Of course most 14-18 year olds aren't going to see the merit of that, let alone understand why that process (attempting something new and challenging) is more valuable than the end result (a "good" chant), but as adults we all have a responsibility to coach them through that messy process. Except that's become damn near impossible with an Instantly Do The Thing app in everyone's pocket. Yes, AI is fucking awful because of plagiarism and misinformation and the environmental impact, but it's also keeping people - particularly young people - from developing perseverance. It's not just important that you learn to write your own stuff because of intellectual agency, but because writing is hard and it's crucial that you learn how to persevere through doing hard things.

Write a shitty poem. Write an essay where half the textual 'evidence' doesn't track. Write an awkward as fuck email with an equally embarrassing typo. Every time you do you're not just developing that particular skill, you're also learning that you did something badly and the world didn't end. You can get through things! You can get through challenging things! Not everything in life has to be perfect but you know what? You'll only improve at the challenging stuff if you do a whole lot of it badly first. The ability to say, "I didn't think I could do that but I did it anyway. It's not great, but I did it," is SO IMPORTANT for developing confidence across the board, not just in these specific tasks.

Idk I'm just really worried about kids having to grow up in a world where (for a variety of reasons beyond just AI) they're not given the chance to struggle through new and challenging things like we used to.

  I re-blogged this (the first time) in 2014. Today, I tried half a dozen times to re-blog it, and it wouldn’t work. So, I saved the images and re-posted it. I hope it helps make life a little easier. :-)   The original post is by iraffiruse.

hey all. a friend of mine passed away earlier this year, leaving behind two pair-bonded adult cats, gabe and mjolnir. they need to find a new forever home together!

these cats are currently located in portland, oregon. the adjudicator of my friend's wishes will help relocating them anywhere in the US. they need a new home by may.

they're both big cuddlers and absolute sweetie-pies. they're around 10 years old, are indoor only, have never been around dogs or children, and are up-to-date on all their veterinary care.

see this bluesky thread for more information on each of their personalities and care requirements (and/or just want to see more cute cat photos). if you are interested and able to welcome two darling angels to your household, please fill out this form! any questions can be asked on the thread and through the form.

Hi! It’s cyan. You might know me from mdzs for meta and translation and culture posts.

so my little brother and his friend fell like 800 feet off a mountain this weekend and were lost for 12 hours in the snow before the rescue team found them. I’m still getting the details, but he has pelvic fractures and is dealing with the after effects of extreme hypothermia. His left foot was exposed in 0 degree weather the entire time, and his body temperature was down to 90 by the time he was found, so. 🫠

there are predictably going to be significant medical bills for the both of them and their other friend put together this gofundme to help cover the expenses ><

if you’ve ever enjoyed my work or like my blog or just want to chip in, it would be much appreciated. Both of them are going to be okay, they’re expected to make a full recovery, but it’s been a uh, stressful few days, shall we say.

thanks so much, I know things are tough for everyone, so if you can only toss a reblog this way, that’s totally understandable. 💛
