Cat?

I'm afraid not.

That is one of the incredibly rare two-bodied rats: a single rat with two completely different bodies.

Today I came out to my brother as aroace and he said: "Oh, just like Jaiden!"

The relief of immediate understanding... I've never had that before. That's what why good representation is important, you guys. I'm so thankful for that video she made.

Is it more interesting to read John and Arthur as platonic? Yes. will I continue to ship them? Absolutely

If you are currently sitting or laying down this moment ask yourself if you are resting or rotting. Change your behavior accordingly

Okay. It's time for an AI rant.

My nephew is 13 years old. Whenever he writes a paper for school, I check it over and fix all of his mistakes for him. He said to me, "Maybe I'll proofread your paper for you in exchange," meaning one of the scholarly articles I write for work. I said, "Cool," and gave him the file. And he said, "Well, this is full of errors! See, you always say you have a lot to correct on my stuff, and look at all the stuff you got wrong!" And I said, surprised, "What? Where?" Because I'm sure there are typos in the draft I sent him, but not, like, that many.

And then he pointed to the screen and said, "Look at all the blue and red lines you have."

And I said, "Yeah, but those are wrong. Like, those are blue and red lines I'm ignoring because the computer is wrong." And then I paused and added, "You know you can't proofread a paper by just looking at the red and blue lines, right?" And he gave me the blankest look, because that clearly is EXACTLY what he thinks. And it became even clearer suddenly why, whenever I correct something on his paper, his immediate reaction is, "It didn't have a blue or red line."

There's a very good reason for that: THAT'S BECAUSE THE COMPUTER ISN'T SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT IT WAS WRONG.

I am so tired of being sold the idea that computers are better than humans and so we should just outsource everything to them, which is clearly the lesson my nephew is absorbing in U.S. middle school. COMPUTERS ARE NOT BETTER THAN HUMANS. Like, maybe they are better at humans at crawling through rubble to find people trapped inside. They are also better at preserving things in a searchable format. Things like that. Very limited circumstances.

I don't want to sound alarmist but everything I hear about people using generative AI freaks me out. It's not just that I'm freaked out by people being like, "I use it to write novels!" (Although I don't see how they do, I have tried to have it write fiction for me and the output was truly terrible.) But I recognize my bias around creative writing and so no one needs to credit my views on artificial writing. But! Other things are alarming, too! "I use it to brainstorm x, y, or z." But...why? Why not just...use your own brain...to...brain...storm? The computer doesn't even have a brain to brainstorm with! And you might be like, "But it comes up with things that my brain would never think of!" So would other people! You could also brainstorm with other people! Or even through Google to see what other people have thought before you (not AI). Please don't belittle the wonder of thinking.

I just feel like the marketing around generative AI boils down to "Wouldn't it be easier not to use your own brain to think about things?" Everyone. No. It would not be. Please just trust me on this. I'm not just an old person who is out of touch with technology or something. I promise. USE YOUR BRAINS. IT WILL BE OKAY.

Do you—do you see my vision

[aro-of-spades-7]

being in the tma fandom, i also see a lot of posts about malevolent. and like…. what do yall got going on over there. sometimes i will see the most heart shattering displays of intimacy between two people who have blurred the lines of devotion so far its hard to tell where love and betrayal and trust are different and sometimes its some fuckass demon going OH ARTHUR. OH THERE IS A CREATURE ARTHUR. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. ITS LARGE AND SCARY ARTHUR AND ITS GOING TO KILL YOU. OH MY GOD!!!

[aro-of-spades-7]

Ok I started listening to Malevolent, and I'm only on episode one, but what is this. Why is the... Idk, weird voice in this guy's head, which btw, sounds like some type of demon-eldritch horror monster thingy, is trying to convince the normal (?? Normal question mark?) guy to not kill an innocent? Why is it not the blood thirsty one in this situation?
