Things that would have normally gone on social media, but I don’t like social media all that much. Mostly asides and thoughts.

  • OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week These fucking guys. If you think words are not valuable unless part of a dataset and vibes are for building apps, then you’ve never been a person in a room where the atmosphere shifts when someone says, “that’s just what they want you to believe.”

  • I was driving down the road in the early morning and the group of white garbage bags piled at the end of my neighbor’s driveway startled me, because my brain registered that as a sleeping ice-breath Lizalfos from the Gerudo Highlands. I really need to finish Breath of the Wild.

  • I’ve had a Cat TV video on the main screen in the living room all morning. Birds from hundreds of miles away are screeching and chirping their guts out and these furry fuckers that live with me are off somewhere sleeping. Cats. Pfft.

  • potato reels

    If someone told you that, instead of mashed potatoes, you have to eat potato chips, what would you assume their motivation is?

    This is what I think when I can’t do something on browser Instagram, but have to go to phone Instagram.

    Get me to the bite-sized, can’t put it down machine, right?

  • ethics is doing a lot of work

    Academics, when writing about AI-generated texts and education, should have to clearly define the words “ethically” and “responsibility” in their introduction section, because the way they’re using those words don’t make no sense.

  • introversion

    Sometimes I wonder if my (sometimes) extreme introversion is unwillingness to suppress my sensory issues. I understand we’re all getting into our masking/unmasking era, and that introversion is really just a way of being in opposition to certain performances of capitalism (go grad-school girl) BUT perhaps the energy suck that is interpersonal engagement is just the battery depletion at trying to appear fucking normal all the time.

    I don’t think this is particularly new or insightful, but just wanted to get it down.
