For thousands of years humanity has selectively bred chickens to have larger breasts and to have to lay eggs constantly. We did it to get more meat and per chicken, but from the perspective of the domesticated chickens they’re sorta living in a very specific fetish scenario
From the department of “man I wish I was making this up”, I just learned my department chair dislikes me bc she thinks I used AI to write my MA thesis but can’t prove it. It’s because of my “needlessly complex” sentences, apparently.
Said draft required knowledge of three languages and access to sources that haven’t been digitized. Didn’t stop her from berating me at my defense and telling me that “you think you’re funny and clever, but you’re not,” as well as calling me several charming things.
Same chair is under investigation for multiple conduct violations and potential financial fraud :)
its WILDDDDDD like so many professors are tyrants who think their tenure makes them little god kings. Most of the students I've seen get punished are ones with "over-complicated writing styles" and are almost universally not white lol. it's so blatantly racist. I've had students come to me terrified of being accused of using AI, and it's hard to even give them advice on what things to avoid in their writing to reduce that possibility, because profs and TAs love hallucinating AI-isms in essays and/or just deciding students they dislike are using AI. Accusing students with high grades of using AI is also a handy way to reduce the class average (every undergraduate class I've TA'd for has class average targets). But for sure the main concern is about helping students understand the real value of learning

So, Cheeseburger died on November 21st after an unfairly short battle with an unfairly rare cancer that is rarely seen in cats. I only got to spend a month with him after his diagnosis, and losing him has been the greatest heartbreak of my entire life so far. He was my best friend and my soul cat, and he was there for me when I was completely alone, for twelve long years.
I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.
I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.
Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.
Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.
Neural Nets have existed for decades and are genuinely useful. It's a form of AI that recognizes patterns, and can do stuff like identify cancer cells, tell whether an egg is fertilized or not, detect fraud, and optimize routes.
Those are Expert Systems, tuned to do exactly one thing. If you (say) ask a medical expert system a question about financial law, it's useless. The autopilot that flies a 787 has no idea how to drive a truck on the freeway. A Coulter Counter is excellent at identifying lymphocytes in a blood sample but can't predict the next card in a blackjack game.
And so on.
The problem with so-called generalized AI (AGI) is that we don't have that yet. It doesn't exist. It MIGHT some day, but AGI has been "10 years away" since the 1980s. The goals keep moving as we learn more about how people and machines process data.
But the current crop of AI techbros have been selling generative Large Language Model AI (LLM) as AGI because generative systems do a good job of faking it. There's no actual thought going on, merely the illusion of thought via predicting the next word in a sentence accurately.
If you let a human toddler listen to 800 hours of YouTube car influencer videos, that toddler might end up sounding like a car influencer. They'd parrot horsepower numbers and 0 to 60 times, mention EV range and MSRP numbers.
But they wouldn't understand any of it.
That's ChatGPT.
And yeah, it's worse than useless because it doesn't even know when it's lying or hallucinating. It just babbles convincingly until you stop it.
But for techbros to make money selling that as "AI"? It's the perfect scam, especially if you don't understand how it works.
While Drawing this I realized why my headcanon voice for Carol is Ellen McLain and its because Carol Holiday literally just looks like the Administrator from TF2's Fursona.

“Pratchett went back to older throwaway jokes (like dwarves being apparently unisex) and used them as metaphors to discuss social change, racial assimilation, and other complex issues, while reexamining the species he’d thrown in at the margins of his world simply because they existed at the margins of every other fantasy universe. If goblins and orcs and trolls could think, then why were they always just there to be slaughtered by the heroes? And if the heroes slaughtered sentient beings en masse, how heroic exactly were they? It was a long overdue start on redressing issues long swept under the rug by a parade of Tolkien successors who never thought of anyone green and slimy as anything but a notch on the protagonist’s sword, and much of the urgency in Pratchett’s last few books seemed to be related to them. ‘There’s only one true evil in the world,’ he said through his characters. ‘And that’s treating people like they were things.’ And in the last of his ‘grown-up’ Discworld books, that idea is shouted with the ferocity of those who have only a few words left and want to make them count. Goblins are people. Golems are people. Dwarves are people, and they do not become any less people because they decide to go by the gender they know themselves to be instead of the one society forces on them. Even trains might be people, and you’ll never know one way or the other unless you ask them, because treating someone like they’re a person and not a thing should be your default. And the only people who cling to tradition at the expense of real people are sad, angry dwellers in the darkness who don’t even understand how pathetic they are, clutching and grasping at the things they remember without ever understanding that the world was never that simple to begin with. The future is bright, it is shining, and it belongs to everyone.”
— John Seavey, The Evolution of the Disc (via liquidlightandrunningtrees)
If you’re going to talk about trans men behaving like men and being misogynistic bigots you should also talk about trans women who are Nazis to stay in the closet. First of all, do you hear yourself? You sound like a fucking idiot.
There is no significant contingent that this is occurring to, you’re making things up. Even if it were true, it’s not, do you not see how trans men being actively misogynistic while out as trans men is different from you going I think that racist cis guy might be a trans woman?
Here’s the thing you’re missing, trans men are the conservatives that are enforcing a patriarchal society that rewards their bigotry. Trans men are benefiting from patriarchal systems so they’re reinforcing them!
Then you’re going on about queer infighting. There’s not a queer community. It’s not infighting. Trans men are an oppressor class over trans women. That’s the entire point of tma/tme. Trans men enforce and benefit from structural transmisogyny and misogyny in general.
Don’t you get it, there’s other enemies!
Well have you considered that I’m aware of that and the reason trans men being transmisogynistic is an issue is because they’re fomenting a hate group that encourages and perpetuates this behavior in queer organizations?
No of course not, you just see “this tranny is being so mean to me” and decide you need to leave an essay in her ask box. Get over your victim complex.
