which one...

omg it looked so promising too

lolllll

Normal person: You gotta love the Vikings!

Bluesky user, a monk at Lindisfarne: Listen you fucking monster

i have a lot of faith in things of real human value being ultimately irreplaceable by AI but i'm also confidence in industries and the market's inability to recognise or reward that value

the creativity is at the top-level ideation - what is this code for? - and stem bros have been coming up with braindead project ideas all on their own before AI i'm not sure now using AI is even distinguishable lmao

so much of professional programming is about looking up and implementing existing solutions from places like stackexchange, so i have zero qualms about AI fulfilling a similar space

the AI use i'm pretty categorically against is image generation... text can convey nearly pure fact and knowledge divorced of authorial intent; there's no such thing as an image without some human's soul involved in the form of style and aesthetics

my general metric for acceptable uses of AI is "is this be something that could be gleaned from extensive googling?" i.e. compilation of data and knowledge as opposed to creative generation

Contemporary "cozy" fiction is missing a vital ingredient: pain.

lovely writeup!!

not the difference you're talking about but my male climbing friends are always in disbelief when they find out i can't do a pull-up; they vastly underestimate the baseline physiological difference and are convinced i simply never tried properly or something
