just watched a star trek episode about a planet that relied so heavily on it's computer system that they all forgot the basics of their own knowledge. and that allowed them to miss the fact that they were being posioned with radiation and nearly ending their civilization. because they couldn't use their own knowledge to figure things out. i bring this up for no reason in particular

I do think the Hank Green AI thing makes it abundantly clear that if you have ADHD or any other mental illness and/or you are prone to addiction you need to avoid AI at all costs. This shit will rope you in, and if you have a mental illness that say, starves your brain of dopamine, you're gonna be extra susceptible to that. I won't use AI for a lot of reasons but one of the big ones is knowing how it would fuck with my ADHD and bipolar. Like yes, it's bad for the environment and giving money to rich scumbags and runs on plagarism, but even more than all that, it's straight up not safe at all and you really shouldn't use it if for no other reason than to protect yourself from whatever the fuck it might do to you.
Dropping the schadenfreudish-humor tone of this blog for a sec...
The greatest greediest minds of my generation (and surrounding generations) have been thinking -- successfully -- about how to turn human minds away from family, friends, nature, travel, hobbies, goals, dreams, even truth itself...
... toward profit machines made of treadmills, lack of self-efficacy, and addiction. LLMs are (as many comments to the OP have noticed) merely the latest iteration of a longstanding trend that includes many kinds of games and social-media systems. If there's a recommender engine or a tuning loop underneath it anywhere, it's been designed to bogart human attention.
also you know what's fucking great? having a union is fucking great.
Even with super small things - like today, I was on a colleague's calendar to schedule a meeting, and I accidentally saw some information that should not have been visible on their public calendar.
And instead of either freezing and not knowing what to do and so doing nothing, or trying to figure out how to talk to them individually (might solve the immediate problem but it's not necessarily a one-off problem, and also puts the ball on them individually to deal with solving it), or trying to figure out who else to talk to about it (probably disclosing the stuff to even more people)...I just grabbed my union rep! Told him what happened, he knew how ask the relevant questions without making me share more of the private info than I needed to, and he let me know he would pass it along to the appropriate people, and so it is not on either me or the individual colleague to solve!
I love my union!

you just teleported to the last game you played how is it going? {you're plot involved}
good
bad
great
awful
dead
I don't play games/results
Soma 😔
KOTOR… I probably am dead in the intro tutorial part. Or when the planet gets destroyed.
The last game I played was Tetris. I am so doomed. Especially if I'm in Tetris Spoilers version in which case I'm dead over and over and over but surviving anyway. Dooooooooooomed. At least the sex will be great. On the other hand, I-prime. Dooooooooooom.
Reblog and put in the tags a song you like except for *that one part*.
You wake up one day and discover you've lost control over a random action or feeling!
Spin the wheel to find out what!

Actually way better than before!
Its good
It's alright
It's annoying but I'll be fine
It's pretty bad
IM DEAD
worse than death
Nothing changes/results

self-awareness check, list five things you like that aren't media pieces in the tags now ‼️
Since it's mid-august it's time for a reminder for the DIY folks or those who like to cosplay
It's about that time of year again, and after having this circulate for a year now, it interesting seeing some observations:
Despite making this post in August, this post spikes in brief periods throughout the year, depending on when folks like to start.
Reading all the cool costume projects people are working on
Some of you animals reblog this on November 1st
Already pretty much done, actually. I just need to affix Sergeant Jackrum's flaming-cheese badge (actually two patches) to his shako.
Oh, I do actually need to lay hands on a sergeant's sash too, though. Thanks for the reminder.

Reblog if you appreciate when your followers point out that you've reblogged something that is Ai slop, so that you can rectify your mistake.
it’s dangerous to go alone. take these:
You have been visited by the Badger of Executive Function!
May this tenacious beastie grant you the strength to break through whatever is holding you back from completing that important task you've been meaning to get to, and the energy and motivation to
Do The Fucking Thing.
thank you, I needed this today
ok i’ve been curious about something. can you name a character who is, all three at once,
1. canonically female (no variation)
2. canonically the protagonist of her story (if it’s an ensemble cast you have to say you can legitimately see her as The main character)
3. your personal #1 favorite character in that story (ties are acceptable)
?
yes
no
super nuance bald extract button (use this wisely)
EVERYONE get in the tags rn and tell me your favorite cheese

today’s the only day you can reblog this
“There Will Come Soft Rains”, Ray Bradbury
At this point I've seen like three unconnected pieces of American media set in a superficially idyllic small town with a big fuckoff lake that functions as a liminal boundary between the Known and the Unknown and in which a major character attempts suicide by drowning, and now I'm wondering if the Liminal Death Lake is just a thing American small towns have.
Or y’know the dwindling relics of an ancient inland sea that once reached from Labrador to Texas that are so deep and so cold and so still that they’re notorious amongst locals for “keeping their dead” which is to say they’re the fated and inevitable final resting place for anyone who works them or works on them and you never get the bodies back all of which were central to the theology and folklore of the locals for thousands of years before The Cross arrived and which border 2 countries and several states and have their own weird weather patterns and really I could go on at length about the apparent magic contained in those Midwestern bodies of water but I think you get my gist
I think I've literally said this on a trogblog before but, as a native of the area, the great lakes are gods.
Lake Superior is notorious for shredding even OCEAN going ships. Those she takes into the Ice Water Tomb do not return unless she permits. If she feels so inclined, she annihilates the shore with storms reaching into hurricane status. Gichigami does not tolerate the unworthy, and barely tolerates the worthy. Those who slip under her surface will rest there, in the silent cold. She is ancient.
It's the fate of all Northerners to be blanketed by the cold in death.
and look, it doesn't have to be Gichigami to be murderous
I live in the above photo, near a lake sized such that it's just barely distinguishable if you look at the photo full-size
and does that lake have a body count? yep. sure does. if I had to estimate, two plus-or-minus one per year.
