#I am once again begging you not to trust the spicy autocomplete#it cannot tell truth from lies#it is just a probability machine#it can do party tricks mostly#never ever trust it with anything important#if you want to trust an AI with something important then pick something it's actually good at#like identifying cancer cells or something#do NOT ask it to sift through human lies and discern which are true#it cannot do that man it's just not within its capabilities

Adding to this as someone who worked with AI in my scientific job: don't ask an AI to do anything that a human isn't going to verify. Our tool could build plans much faster than a human...but it kept having issues with certain transitions and with tiny segments. So what was our solution?

Have it give up, not schedule anything during the difficult part, and have a human go fill it in.

Worked like a charm and still saved us hours of work every day.

Thinking about how, between him and V, Jackie is by far the more personable of the two. He oozes such easy charisma that it's really hard to actually hate him. He's the one with connections all over Night City. V's best friend who always knows a guy. He hooks V up with whoever they could possibly need. Everyone who's ever met him either loves him, or has great respect for him.

And yet. Despite the number of people he knows and who know him, after he dies, V is the one they remember. "Didn't you have someone with you?" Sandra asks. "You did well, V. You and that... friend of yours." Wakako states. Jackie is the one who got them that job. Or at least that's what the prologue sequence led me to believe. V asks him if Wakako had any tips for the Sandra case. Therefore, Jackie was the one who got them hired. I cant tell if Wakako forgot his name on purpose cause she didn't like him/care enough or genuinely doesn't remember. I know Sandra has good reason not to. She was unconscious.

It's just gut wrenching to me. Jackie put in all this work, prolly called in so many favors, to help V get to where they needed to be, and in the end, no one knows his name. He went out with a bang and didn't even get a footnote. Of course, V can change that after the game if they want I would guess. Use their prestige and respect to spread the word about the bestest friend they ever had in nc. He does get his own drink at the Afterlife, but does anyone know who they're drinking? How colorful and full of life he was? Do they know how he died? What he did?

And I mean, his name seemed to be at least somewhat well-known in the valentinos. But that means about jack squat in the merc world. He was supposed to be a legend, but all he ended up as was a ghost.

What makes this worse in my canon, is that the "Major Leagues" was never even V's dream. It always belonged to Jack. When he chases it, he does so in Jackie's place. For him. Not for V. Sometimes he wishes it were Jackie's name he was using, just so someone would hear it and be filled with hope for the future. Just like Jackie was with Morgan Blackhand, Andrew Weyland, and Adam Smasher. He carries Jackie's ghost on his back, every rung of the ladder, and no one even sees it.

im listening to an intox file and im starting to think that smoking weed with a girl is not only a religious experience but its also like sacred and holy. like youre ascending from this plane into heaven. lesbian heaven

thinking about that one crack idea from discord where Solver Drone code is incompatible with other drones, so both Doll and Uzi are actually Yeva/Nori spawn bc Yeva, at least, really wanted a kid so they did a mutual surrogacy thing

(if u wanna get a bit more experimental with if you can say that the other persons’ strain of solver was the other parent ie: Doll was a result of Nori’s Solver infection/strain and Yeva, Uzi was the result of Yeva’s Solver and Nori, u get the picture. It’s like halfway to being asexual reproduction except it’s not sexual at all bc they’re robots. robot-ish.)

"It's important to be careful with novel technologies because they're always very exploitable until the regulations get worked out, AI is illustrating just how dire the situation is with datamining on the modern internet, the corporate interests overstating the capabilities of these tools are fucking ghoulish and even the guy running the research group for open-source stuff needs to, at best, learn to read the room and stop talking without a PR advisor forever; and economically speaking we're in a horrible environment to have any kind of automation boom, which is only one of the many reasons you should absolutely not support corporations using AI just to do the same shit they've always done just cheaper and worse" - true and 100% fair and I'm absolutely with you!

"AI is an EVIL COLLAGE MACHINE and that's BAD because COLLAGES AREN'T REAL ART, it's all PLAGIARISM, the human operating it isn't giving any INTENT or EXPRESSING anything through it, anyone saying it's good for disabled people is CLEARLY just making EXCUSES because plenty of disabled people have managed to push themselves through HORRIBLE AGONY to paint before so YOU SHOULD TOO, the only reason ANYONE might use AI is because they're BIG MEAN POOPYHEADS and they're JEALOUS of REAL ARTISTS and if we let them get away with it REAL ART will be DESTROYED FOREVER so we need COPYRIGHT TO SAVE US!!!" - you are a reactionary. You are an ableist. You are using literal fascist trad rhetoric. Back the fuck up and check yourself or stop calling yourself anything but a reactionary.

sometimes i will hear something in the orchestral score of my mind and think it sounds good and try to develop it. only to realize it's just oops i did it again by britney spears except in 3/4 time with vague influences by mozart's requiem and the succession soundtrack.

Sup love?

ThedubberfromMars did a VO of your cute band shirt comic.

O wow it has big numbers. It's wild to me that ppl are so into consuming tiktokified dubbed slideshow comics, because watching content like that tends to activate my fight or flight reflex

I hope there's like, a warning that if anyone googles "beespaceprogram" they're gonna find porn...
