creative writing tasks in school are so stupid like "this character has no development" give me enough time to write their development???????

demi-sense attraction + autistic culture is having super sensitive skin so not liking it when strangers/acquaintances/coworkers touch you causally at all but being extremely touch starved & yearning for my friends/trusted ones <22
ughh that’s gotta suuuuck 😭😩
they should invent a body that feels normal to be inside of

it's unfortunately hard to be clingy when you have nobody to cling to
my feed on almost every platform keeps telling me to make out with my bestie how do i stop it

So, unlike Eridians, we discovered fire very early on and so our civilization kinda grew up with combustion right? We've had thousands of years to normalize it and get comfortable with the idea of using it casually for warmth or cooking etc.
In contrast, Eridians had to discover fire in a lab since their atmosphere doesnt have O2 like ours. So they dont have, like, an entire culture normalizing fire.
> Be me. Rocky the Eridian cosmonaut
> Tell Grace about Eridian space elevator design made out of Xenonite. Grace very impressed, says humans only dream about making space elevator.
> Odd? Ask Human friend Grace how humans got into space. Expecting some high tech solution since science humans clearly know more physics.
> Grace explains Humans strapped other Humans on top of Fire-Explodatron-9000 machines made out of weak human metal, basically Eridian cardboard, then shot them into orbit. Grace say the fire it makes is quite pretty to look at

(touchstarved) aro culture is wanting an aro cuddle buddy who's also as clingy as you are
.
the aroace read of ryland grace is so personal and haunting. "you don't even have a dog." was it not enough to love the world for the sake of living in it. was it not enough to live for the thrill of discovery. was it not enough to smile at your students. was it not enough to be afraid.
Mizuki, and the school system's lackluster approach to bullying
Okay, so in general, unlike the rest of N25, there isn't really any singular person, group or event you can point to as the cause of all of Mizuki's problems, so other than students A and C (who WILL be catching these hands idc that they're just a manifestation of the student body as a whole idc) there isn't really a solid person to throw under the bus to 'avenge' her (like Mafumom or Shinei)
For the others, we could write as many 'Mafumom and Shinei Shinonome get hit by a train' or 'What if those asshole music producers never asked for more than what Kanadad could provide' AUs as we want, effectively removing 3/4ths of Niigo's trauma, but if we wanted to do that for Mizuki, we'd have to effectively restructure society as a whole (which is why in worldlink 2, nothing much changes for her), which while certainly possible in the realm of fiction, is admittedly far less satisfying than hitting Mafumom with a baseball bat over and over and calling it a day. There is no effective scapegoat for Mizuki. The unfortunate truth is that even if you write out students A and C, nothing would change. Because Mizuki isn't a victim of students A and C like Mafuyu is a victim of Mafumom, she's a victim of society as a whole...
...But, the general school system certainly comes close.
Saw a comment that reminded me most people are not close to AI in their discipline--which was someone wondering why anyone would 'program' an AI to do a certain ridiculous thing.
So I'm here to say AI isn't programmed--not in the traditional sense of "a set of instructions written by a person that the computer executes." And in fact, Software Programming and AI Development are genuinely different fields. I am a software developer. I am not capable nor trained in AI development.
I have enough career exposure to both to understand core differences. But to be entirely clear, my statements about AI development are from a college-class level of understanding. But my statements about software engineering and AI in the tech industry are industry knowledge.
A key thing about 99.9% of software engineering--and a detail I very strongly like--is that code execution is deterministic. And deterministic means that, when knowing all the inputs, you can with absolute certainty know the output. This will not change unless one of the inputs changes.
And programs are--simplistically--a highly detailed instruction list. If something is going wrong with the code, you can walk through it at a granular level. You can see every individual step it is taking and identify and isolate what is wrong. There are a million ways this can be massively complicated, but deterministic execution pretty much guarantees this is possible.
AI is not deterministic. AI is not code written by someone. AI is a plinko machine 1 million feet high by 1 million feet long that folds over itself 1 million times and eventually spits the balls out somewhere. It is doing math that cannot be solved by a million people in a million days, and is the domain of GPU chips alone. It is fundamentally unknowable on the granular level.
Humans train the model by giving it known inputs with known desirable outputs and tweaking parameter weights as to reward the machines whose plinko peg configuration most leans toward the desired output. And then they iterate on generations and generations of that plinko machine until they get one that was trained to be tailored to that known data, and also yields good outputs when testing it on a new set of data.
And the human trainers may be trying to configure the rows and columns of the plinko pegs as mapping to qualifiable concepts, but by and large the pegs don't map to anything material. By and large the process becomes math weights. And even if you gave someone 1 million years to memorize every peg in the machine, the individual pegs don't mean something like the pieces of a written program mean something.
If you're using a product I worked on and the user icon rendering fails, there will be a definitive step of the program's process which is going wrong, and which I can pinpoint and fix. It is entirely possible for me to understand this whole program and know exactly why it does or does not do things. And as such, a human is capable of having complete knowledge and complete certainty about what this program is doing.
If you're using an AI product at work and it keeps making up a guy named 'Bob', well the 1-million-high by 1-million-wide plinko machine that folds itself over 1 million times spit its balls out in such a way that talks about Bob. Indirectly, the training this model went through accidentally rewarded false information in the trained pursuit of providing information. Data scientists can try to train a new model that more strongly punishes false information. They might struggle if this ends up degrading other behaviors. Absolutely no one is physically capable of understanding the exact inner details of the 1-million by 1-million plinko machine.
And this, honestly, is a hugely important detail to me in my dislike of AI rampancy. We are incapable of precisely knowing why it does things. We can tweak it, and adjust parameter weights, and try to reward different behavior. But we do not have domain knowledge over it. It is a technology capable of doing what the fuck ever.
Say it louder for the nitwits in the back who keep trying to shove the plinko machine into every deterministic model imaginable. That. Is. Not. What. The. Plinko. Is. Made. For!
...and to counter any argument that shoving more plinkos into the plinko machine will make it more accurate and eventually remove the random Bob cameo from the output...eventually it gets to the point where it's training more on the samples than the actual trend of plinkos you are trying to look for. This is what overtraining is and this is exactly why just shoving more data in it doesn't fix the problems.
I said it once and I'll say it again: whatever problem someone thinks AI is a good solution for...first consider if a decision tree is a better method. Literally a tree of if statements, simple to implement, you can even train it to find the best threshold conditions if you REALLY want to throw in a little AI....but I will guarantee it will get you that same output every time.

I hate how accurately the movie depicts society's view of people not in romantic relationships is.
Ryland Grace was not a sad man waiting for his demise. He was happy. He loved teaching, his students were SO important to him. He had a good life.
But he didn't fit societal norms and that somehow made his life less valuable? The way Stratt saying "oh you're not married, you don't have any immediate family or even a dog" was treated as part of an explanation as to why he should be more willing to go on a SUICIDE MISSION?! As if that somehow made his life less important? As if it made him some sort of expandable material?
It's genuinely so sad how realistic it is. It's also part of the reason why I wholeheartedly believe in aroace Grace. It's just such a common experience within the community that even if it's unintentional it feels like finally getting some sort of representation.
(I genuinely hope this post is at least somewhat coherent it's basically just a rant written at two am that I'm too tired to look through <33)
its actually so funny how that security researcher who got exploited by microsoft leaked a zero-day exploit, then when msft didnt even touch on their concerns, leaked another
