(if u know me, im not sorry for the feral fandom posting xoxo) Honestly, I'm just happy to be here.
Oh and u can call me Mikie!
the main dev of ULTRAKILL is livetweeting their reactions to jerma failing at their game fantastically and itās really, really fucking funny.
I feel like itās important to note that they call him Amish here because earlier he got so mad during a hard boss fight that he went on a rant that āhumans arenāt meant to do this, theyāre meant to push logs in wheelbarrowsā
is it a hot take to say that i think you need to understand why something is bad, not just that it simply is?
ALT
this is a part of the problem
you need to be able to explain why you shouldnt use ai rather than āoh well its obviously bad and you shouldnt use it or else youre a bad personā because that isnāt logic. āai generates child porn based off of real children and whether or not it does is entirely up to how it is built and if pedophiles are able to find ways around those safeguards, because ai cannot in itself discern right from wrongā is a genuine criticism. āamazon tried to build a data center the size of tuson outside of tuson just to power their ai that wouldāve increased the inability to stay alive outside in parts of arizonaā is a genuine criticism. even āusing generative ai teaches you not to learn how to do things yourself even when theyāre difficult, devaluing necessary skills out of practiceā is a genuine criticism when you look at the amount of people who think they are able of doing a difficult major when they couldnt write their own papers in high school.
but āai is just bad because itās badā will convince no one and is a morally lazy position to take. about anything!
you need to know why reading someoneās diary is wrong if you want to learn about privacy and respect. you need to know why child sexual assault is wrong if you want to be able to help children form healthy age appropriate relationships. you need to know why capitalism is bad if you want to replace it with something else. you need actual concrete ideas and ideologies rather than āyou should agree with me because i have the right vibeā
I thought it’d be fun if I made aliens that respirate CO² into O² like plants but I started thinking about how I’m not actually sure how exactly those chemical processes work and now I’m on the wikipedia page for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
I feel like the media literacy ogre for biochemistry
I justā¦.I just learned that thereās a word in the English languageā¦for when you run into someone to hug them with all the enthusiasm and strength you haveā¦.I learned that itās called glomp.
My God, English has so many words to describe physical intimacy, Iām in love
rb if you were there
Thatās such a beautiful reaction to the word glomp
āfruit has sugarā warning post reminds me of my coworker who told me to make sure I donāt get āaddicted to fruitā. yeah iām also addicted to a nice walk on the beach
me after developing a debilitating fruit addiction
hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok
It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the “boo AI” club.
This isn’t a purity thing. This is a “everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people” thing.
Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can’t defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.
You can stop using character.ai today. You can say “I listened to the facts and stopped.” And another thing: don’t you think it’s a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you’re in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?
also posts in the spirit of “if you’ve used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!” can’t be great to those with OCD
The best thing about having a partner who also does medieval reenactment is that you can text them like ādo you want a sexy leg pic šā and when they obviously go āof course šā you send them a close up of a really nice piece of leg armour. And then they arenāt even mad and go āyeah that is sexy as hell, thank you.ā
It would, of course, be remiss of me to not include examples of these sexy leg pics. Try this one simple trick to find out if your partner is someone with taste!
(If anyone does do this to their partner, Iād love to know the results)
Donāt forget that the US civil rights bill only passed after six weeks of rioting that were the direct result of MLKās murder. Peaceful protest paved the way, but violent protest got it over the finish line.
Itās understandable why the state would not want you know that, but thatās also why itās imperative that you do.
kingās family doesnāt ābelieveā the FBI killed him, they know it for fact because the FBI admitted to it in a civil case brought against them in the early 90s. the court documents are a matter of public record. read them yourself. the king family won that suit against the united states fucking government for assassinating martin luther king jr
