Greetings, I develop apps and mods in JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, C#, and Blazor. I do have issues socializing sometimes because I have Autism/ADHD. Thanks for reading and have a great day! Pfp art by Kitsu_Hira on Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/kitsu_hira)

Artists create universes from nothing.
Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

once you offload a type of cognitive/creative work to the junk food high you get from AI, the process is reduced to a mere means to an end, instead of something you evaluate or create yourself, with intent, skill, and vision
“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”
AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study
Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

Today I learned about this lovely manga that's like Jurassic Park except it's just a normal zoo that's making efforts to drum up interest in the dinosaurs again, and it also has a Triceratops that's loafing like a big ol' kitty cat and I'm full of so much joy over it.
I love how the zookeepers in Dino Sanctuary talk fondly about dinosaurs like they're actual animals and also that every chapter ends with a short essay from the paleontologist the author consults with for supervision.
