#Maybe there's a time and place for AI

👏Do👏Not👏Use👏AI👏To👏Write👏Fanfiction👏

You deserve to write. You deserve to grow as a writer. Your story deserves to be told BY YOU! If you truly think AI can do a better job than you, then the story you are telling doesn't need to be told. If you think AI is the only way you can convey the art you hold in your heart, you don't actually have art to share.

But if you care. If you have a story to tell. You should want to tell it. You should want to learn. You should want to create.

If you're worried about it being bad, good - that means you care. That means you'll learn. If you think the only way you'll be any good at art is by prompting a machine to do it for you, you've already failed. You've already given up.

You are not good because you didn't even try.

since satoru doesn’t drink, whenever we go out and he orders one alcoholic drink (for me) and something innocent and nonalcoholic (for himself), the waiter always hands me the mocktail like i’m the responsible one, but satoru just grins and goes “she drinks, i drive... and occasionally babysit”

do you think it's weird or unfounded to not want to use chat gpt due to the environmental cost? i feel really strongly that i want to completely avoid it (and, like, recreational/work related ai in general) for that reason, but people seem to think this is really weird when i express that as a reason. but i feel like i should be able to make this call if i want to and that's a good reason to not use it. i don't know?!?!?! i don't get anything anymore?!?!?!

the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change

i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!

i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies

maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs

Endlessly fascinated by how often the mysterious "beyond the blackwall" is talked about as though it was discovered by humans rather than made. Like some foreign jungle filled with venomous snakes and bugs and big cats etc. Instead of like a massive server. That is another question I have. How is the old net (beyond the blackwall) structured? I assumed it must have been a lot like our internet today, where every website is hosted on different servers, but the way it's talked about is strange if that were the case. Almost like the whole thing was hosted on one large server and everyone else's servers merely tapped into it. Communed with it.

It is a wilderness, the space between stars, some incomprehensible depth filled with man-created minds. It's like it's some extra plane of existence, like the hells of faerûn where devils and demons find portals into our world. But in reality it's like. Some server somewhere. Right? But if it were, wouldn't NetWatch just track down the server(s) and shut it down, effectively destroying any dangerous rogue AIs caught inside? Idk maybe I don't know anything about how the internet works but everytime anyone in the game says anything about it, it always raises so many more questions than answers.

i cant deal with the way people so casually talk about their frequent use of AI for basic tasks. “Yeah i have it curate a grocery list for me!” “I have it write a thesis for my paper!” “It drafts emails to my boss for me!” Hey so fun fact all of those things are basic life skills that people should have by the time they are an adult. You should not need a robot to be making you a list of what to get at the store. you should not be having a robot write your papers, you need to be able to formulate your own ideas and opinions and arguments. AI might be “helpful” but its making society dull and lazy. What is there to life if you make AI do every human thing in the world.

Barrage of YouTube ads relentless, send help. Categories are diet pills, betterhelp, clothing sites I already buy from, bastard fast fashion and AI productivity, which is already HORRIFYING ENOUGH but a lot of these damn ads include fucking Slack notification sounds, which DISTURB MY PEACE.

Ok fuck it you know something I've never really quite understood about part of the Leftist vs Liberals debate on voting.

So so so many people act like its either-or. Like you're either dedicating your entire life to voting and promoting politicians and phone banking or whatever, or you're a True Rebel waiting for The Uprising to Come and Solve Everything.

But like. In my experience. Me voting is just me kinda go 'which person seems kinda good? Which one at least sucks the least? ok lemme go vote.' and then its anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour tops of my life. And I still have plenty of time to do Stuff and participate in Conversations about Other Important Things. And also you can admit and acknowledge and understand that the system As Is kinda sorta really sucks ass, but also still admit and acknowledge and understand that at this current point in time we are still living in the suckass system and do something to alleviate the suckass At Least A Little while also working to bolster/create/advocate for Other Systems.

I guess just like. it's not a black or white thing. Between 'top 500 volunteers for a specific politician/voting office/etc' and 'absolutely positively not voting at all' there is a gray area called 'vote and then just do other stuff'.

Okay actually I might come back

Twitter sucks, it's so boring and everyone has terrible takes. I missed the unhinged comedy of Tumblr. Instead of boycotting, I think I'm just going to comment "remove the AI scraping" on every staff post ever and in every feedback forum on a regular basis. Really get annoying, get in their face. This is the website to be annoying anyways

Besides, if a bot is going to post porn in my comments, let's at least do it at the porn bot website and not the one closer tied to my phone number

Sigh. Nikola why must you be one of the more interesting oni characters. I don't wanna think abt you with your stupid spiky blond hair and your unethical science that mostly just serves to make Jackie more shitty by proxy. But I do. Because you're kind of orbo blorbo. Fuck you Nikola I hope you explode again
