My bad. I was looking for a stupid job that didn't mean anything where I didn't have to do stuff. Sorry, I guess.
Sesame Workshop has announced that they have now uploaded over 100 full episodes of classic and modern Sesame Street to YouTube. This is now "the largest digital library of Sesame Street content."
There are also shorts and 1-2 hour long compilations of segments organized by topics, such as STEM, counting, the alphabet, animals, play, and more.

Hamzah trying to listen to Nuhro’s serious conversation and Yara being the fry fiend that she is (and what Yara wants Yara gets, mostly, when these boys are around.) Pre-dating era, though Hamzah would do the same when they’re together (if not more, stuffing her with food is a part of his love language haha.)
whenever i post stupid shit that gets a lot of notes on here that i regret i take comfort in knowing that theres no real repercussions from that because this website is going to be tanked and shutdown within, at the most, 3 years
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
I wish more people were familiar with Gell-Mann Amnesia. It was originally coined to refer to media reporting specifically, but I feel like it applies just as well to ai now.
The phenomenon is this: you see a piece of writing (or an ai approximation) of something in your area of expertise. You see all the mistakes, misrepresentations, inaccuracies. You can see that it's poorly produced, inaccurate trash. You see a piece of writing from the same outlet (or an ai approximation) of something in a field about which your personal experience is limited. It looks plausible enough to pass as probably all right to you, and you give it no further scrutiny, assuming it's correct and fine.
But like... did you forget about the fact that it was produced by the same thing that made an absolute fucking dog's breakfast of the thing you actually know about. Now, more than ever, we all need to hold the idea of this phenomenon in our mental back pocket. Like... please.
