the problem with ai isn't that it's ai it's

evil companies pushing ai to devalue labor and creative products.

misconceptions about how ai works, leading to people attributing it an intelligence and sentience it does not have, which feeds into

misinformation, the decrease in effort needed to create disinformation, and the sudden increase of skill needed to spot falsified info. 3a. this includes content creators using ai to flood searches with low-quality articles and inaccurate photos, people not being transparent when they use ai for their images, and things that make it harder to do casual research online

lower threshold for doing hard work that polishes skill, leading to over-reliance on a very flawed tool.

the tool itself isn't the problem. it just exacerbates things that were already problems before.

So there was a frog on my tank today 😳

Video transcription: "oh. Hi! (long pause) wait a minute (pause) who are you?"

tree frogs won the teapot poll so here they are!

the timelapse didn’t turn out great, focusing issues I think. but it’s still fun to watch

I always find it both disapointing and interesting whenever this sorta thing comes up.

Because frankly, as a gen z with a gen alpha sibling I tend to think about it from a different angle. Especially since the millenials and gen z parents that said sibling are around actually are proactive with ensuring their kids aren't given blind continuous online use; and frankly considering the sorta stuff I saw online as a young kid, I say good for them.

Like friendly reminder for when I was in elementary to middleschool: I watched sonic the hedgehog inflation videos not realizing that I was watching fetish content. I binge watched a bunch of happy tree friends videos when I was too young to do so. I was one of those middle schoolers who shipped myself with multiple creepypasta characters. I watched Fred thinking he was the peak of comedy. I listened to both I'm a Gummy Bear and Crazy Frog repeatedly to an obnoxious degree. I remember staying up late at night watching Mullet Mike's Creepy Gaming series throughout middle school. I watched videos of people roleplaying as plushie versions of various characters.

The core of what Im getting at is: bare minimum Gen Z has no room to judge considering the kinda shit we were fully able to access whenever back in the day.

watching gen z and millennials make fun of gen alpha has been torturous. "But they're actually stupid" 1. theyre middle schoolers 2. isn't that what older gens said about us? don't you remember being 11?

it truly is just "impulse reaction to cringe <- has not yet unlearned shame"

the cycle continues let me out of here

guys. guys I think we should kill cringe culture

I'm sure this is going to be fine.

Row 2: Field mouse | 💙Great Blue Heron💙| Mysterious Elegant Fish I Saw Once (species unknown) | Painted Turtle | Bald Eagle

Sorry not to have all the official full names-- I'm at the marsh all the time, so me and the animals are pretty tight, but we're not all on a first-name basis yet ;) Most of these are based off of videos and photos I've taken-- if you want to see some side-by-side comparisons, I made a little vid of em--
