spent MONTHS looking for this stupid tumblr post bcuz i constantly want to reference it and it wouldn't come up no matter what i searched despite it being (what i thought) was a popular well-known tumblr post only to find that the original blog turned off reblogs and deactivated and that it only got 12k notes total. but im posting it anyway to preserve its legacy
My brain wouldn't shut up until I made this.
Technically Goncharov is a Christmas movie
Folks we've been over this, the inescapable hold that the mafia has on every character is part of what makes it a metaphor for capitalism in the film.
Goncharov is a *labor day* movie.
you'd think that "inhuman thing that isn't a person but speaks like a person and talking to it will slowly drive you mad" would only be found in folktales and fables and so on. but no. chatgpt
chatgpt actually makes me feel better to talk to it than almost any human I've ever known but yeah sure
you are a frog in a pot and you are boiling yourself
People really need to understand that the reason things like chatGPT make you feel better is that they constantly agree with you while also having no opinions or needs of their own
Real people have their own lives and aren't available for you 24/7, and even when they are around they can't always give you 100% of their attention and they don't always say what you want to hear
AI is your own personal yes-man, that will always reaffirm what you already think and feel. Of course that will make you feel good in the moment, but what is the long term impact?
AI had already talked at least one person into suicide (tumblr wont let me include a link for some reason, but google Sewell Setzer and you'll find the story, his mom has become very outspoken about the dangers of AI chatbots), and I'm sure there are more, this is just the one I've heard about. Chat with AI bots at your own risk, tbh.
eyes literally bugged out when i learned how much qianlong’s boyfriend embezzled
wikipedia: [Heshen] was described as the most corrupt official in Chinese history—
me: well that gets said about a lot of people, i’m sure it wasn’t that bad
wikipedia: —having acquired an estimated 1.1 billion taels of silver, equal to roughly US$270 billion, during his career.
me:
in all my years learning about imperial chinese history i cannot recall EVER seeing billion with a b refer to anything but population. qianlong’s own notorious ten great campaigns cost ~120 million if i’m remembering correctly. my esteemed colleagues, we may well be looking at history’s ultimate sugar baby here
what really gets me is when qianlong died and heshen experienced the fate of all emperors’ boyfriends, his confiscated property included 460 european clocks. four hundred and sixty. what could he possibly have used 460 clocks for. my god
i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to
unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school
things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)
as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on
ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)
Herding sheep, looking after kids, and playing healer in videogames: every day you're surprised of the sheer innovative genius of how they'll find the most inconvenient goddamn places just outside your reach to get hurt or put themselves in lethal danger.
Isn’t this sheep in real life?
Children in real life also.
It. It literally did. That was literally precisely the point.
I have no idea how the hell I could possibly express myself more clearly.
The humble Oxford comma
I like that if you fail the spirit bomb check at the tribunal, you find out that Harry has been saying the necktie’s lines out loud in a funny voice.
you’re lying to me
