A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

From personal experience I can say: it’s so they can collect shiny black gravel pieces in the playground sand for hours and start a witch coven.

anyways did you guys know the word kindergarten is german. for child garden. why are they putting the children in there

[lueddegen]

due to inflation the answer to life the universe and everything is now 48

I love the german language. Currently eating Gods' Feast with Forrest Master flavour. And it's this radioactively bright green slime that tastes like chemicals and childhood.

Ngl as someone often more or less taking on the dictator role this perspective is hilarious

the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

I would like to formerly apologize to the international community for our chancellor's poor behaviour. He was never meant to breach containment and we're very sorry.

dude you need to chill please. It’s not even exam season yet. (I think?)

I don't even care anymore if someone sees that I am on tumblr right now.

If you see my screen, we're both in the near empty library on a friday past 9 pm, which is probably worse anyways

finally the appreciation some of my favourite birds deserve!

tangled gave us so much, but mostly it gave us the beautiful and intense love of a horse and the man he is chasing in order to imprison

LOVING what this episode is doing with humanity/inhumanity. Both physical and mental. Sing along to trashy soap operas/kill without remorse. Feels human/turns off its own pain sensors. Look it's being all nice and human and feely and now it's telling you to literally rip open its spinal cord and take out the machinery. Can't see Murderbot as human when it's walking around just fine with its back sliced open in front of you to show mesh and machinery. Something about digging through the layers of a human/machine construct.

Construct (follows orders/faceless mask) -> dig through to the human (loves trash TV/talks you gently out of panic attacks/human skin) -> dig through to the machine (follows orders! kills even when you don't want it to!/there's a metal spine under the human skin). It keeps going. Inside the metal spine there's human neural tissue. Can't categorize this one!

Murderbot showing up in Exit Strategy like “whats up ive been on a journey of self discovery and i’m back. you’re doing everything wrong btw” is SO funny from PresAux’s perspective

[lueddegen]

Oh my god I love this so much and need all my friends (who didn’t actually read the books) to see it

Ok, concept, after System Collapse those two random SecUnits Murderbot gave the hacking directions to decide to go absolutely nuts with sharing it around and it goes,,, kind of viral. Resulting in a community of new FreeUnits who,,, obviously need ways to share info and help each other out

The result is FeedFreeUnit, a hyper-encrypted feed that eventually spreads to, like, every port. It starts out as just tips and helpful code and instructions on how to get to Preservation and stuff, but eventually it also turns into THE social media for FreeUnits, basically

Which means memes. And they're kind of wild. (Sorry, I got the idea for ONE of these and it turned into a whole bunch)

(Yes, FeedFreeUnit calls Murderbot "MB". Yes, Murderbot HATES this. Yes, it causes the first known instance of construct Discourse.)

daily affirmations:

i am kind

i am in control of my emotions

it does not bother me when someone is in the kitchen while i was planning to be in there alone

everyone in the house has the right to be in the kitchen

i am kind and in control of my emotions even when someone is in the kitchen while i was planning to be in there alone

Omg omg omg omg omg!!!! A new short story in the MURDERBOT universe!!!!

Rewatching Futurama, it’s honestly insane just how heartbreakingly relevant those early episodes are again. You lean back, expecting a fun comedy only to be hit with perfect analogies for modern day queerphobia, racism and the rise of fascism
