Thought Loop

don’t take my defeatism too seriously I will always begin again and again no matter what

I might sound miserable most of the time but at my core I’m a very hopeful person

folks talk about "AI" like it's something beyond humanity, like people didn't make it. "we are reaching a future where you don't require skill to create anything!" no we're not, it doesn't take any skill to customize a picrew avatar but someone still had to draw all that. "AI" artists are taking part in an art piece already made for them.

there is no metaphysical conflict here, you've already played with creativity toys that offer room for personal expression but ultimately are too constrained or opaque to be considered art tools, it's art, but you're not the artist.

this is why the conversation is so annoying to me. both sides speak about "AI" like it's a magic machine that can transform ideas into artwork. "AI allows unskilled people to make art" said either optimistically or judgmentally back and forth forever, but it can't do that. Google images allows unskilled people to make art too, I guess.

I don't trust anyone who hasn't acknowledged their capacity for evil.

"I'm just a smol bean uwu" No sir, what you are is someone who is so habituated to thinking of yourself as innocent that you will continue to do so even when you're guilty.

Unpopular opinion: Being intelligent isn’t an excuse for being unkind.

Pretentious asshole is OUT! Pretentious Sweetheart is IN! Wearing dapper clothes and holding the door open for others makes you feel COOL AS H*CK! Glance up from your hefty books to give a stranger a smile!! Quote literature to inspire others! Be presumptuous in the way that you presume that everyone needs their day to be a little brighter!!!

“distinguished yourself by being kind” is my literal life motto at work, holy shit

why is it so difficult for ppl to distinguish between "this person is a literal bigot and should not have a platform" and "this person is not actively malicious but has accidentally done a couple harmful things that should be addressed" and "this person has made a few poor taste jokes several years ago but has since grown as a person" and "this person simply just didn't know the 'proper' term for something"

{ID - tags reading, “idc if you dislike someone for whatever reason but stop comparing actual bigots to someone who like. didnt know what a hyperfixation was” END ID}

Being nice to someone you don't like is not manipulation btw it's being civil

Mmm no, this is like seeking validation. Ofc it's best to be nice but if I don't like you or we both dislike eachother, then there's no reason for us to communicate or be around eachother. It's not about being immature, I would much rather not put myself in such a situation.
