i dont think you know the meaning of love
the thin line between fetish content and whatever this is
There is a love in being a hater of the kind that wishes a thing was more to their tastes, but that love isn’t here
yeah also I have a thing for timestop kink content just gonna put that out there

I LOVE YOU EERIE SCIFI TROPES WITH UNRELIABLE NARRATION.
I love you cloning. I love you alternate reality. I love you time loops. I love you everything is a simulation. I love you time travelling.

i want what david cronenberg has
He’s right
“this person needs therapy” is in the same tier with “they were sooo high making this” and you can feel the exhaustion in his answer

most of the time everything sucks but when the sky is blanketed in dark blue-grey clouds after heavy raining and the sun starts to peek through the clouds so that the tops of trees glint pale green and every white structure is starkly, blindingly silhouetted against the sky i’m ok.
like this
The wind that heralds that this weather is on its way could fix me.

I know thoughts shaped like this are guaranteed to be wrong but sometimes I feel like I am completely alone in being normal about generative AI. No every piece of software does not need a chatbot. No every developer that adds AI features to their software is not automatically bad. No we shouldn’t let companies vacuum up the creative output of the entire human race for profit. No we shouldn’t apply the same framework of content ownership to a machine learning process that we do to actual 1:1 copying. No we shouldn’t be using it as a replacement for friends or therapists. No it isn’t literally driving people insane en masse. No we shouldn’t be building thousands of new data centres for questionable benefit without considering the environmental cost. No they aren’t going to make the difference between cooking the planet and not cooking the planet. No you shouldn’t be getting AI to write your college papers for you. No it’s not inherently evil to use it as a research tool. Everyone just calm the fuck down slightly

i reblogged this blank a little bit earlier but i wanted to tell you a little story that happened yesterday.
my friend and i are starting a book club* and we were looking at potential books to read. a colleague and i had been chatting a few weeks previously about books and she recommended a book to me that i forgot the name of, but i remembered the premise almost exactly: al gore won the 2000 election and declared a war on climate change. i have a degree in how to find things with functional search engines, so i searched “al gore won 2000 election book”
every search result was about an inconvenient truth, a book that came out in 2006.
so i edited my search: “al gore won 2000 election novel “-an inconvenient truth””
every search result was about an inconvenient truth.
so i edited my search again: “al gore won 2000 election declare war on climate change novel “-an inconvenient truth””
every search result was about an inconvenient truth.
so i, having reached the end of my patience, fire up chatgpt. it leads me to an article about the book i’m looking for: the free people’s village. the FIRST LINE of that article is, and i quote, is “Somewhere in a Texan’s alternate universe, Al Gore won the 2000 election and we’re 20 years into a War on Climate Change rather than a War on Terror.”
now you might be thinking “mops you could have used an alternate search engine like duckduckgo” i was using duckduckgo. they’re all like this now. you may also be thinking “mops why did you not ask a librarian” it was like 8pm. perhaps “you could have asked tumblr” or i could have just gotten information the way i did with a tool i knew would work.
what i’m saying is that it’s very frustrating for one of my core competencies, being able to find stuff using tools on the internet, to have been replaced by AI, not as a direct result of AI but because the tools have been replaced by shitty broken versions of themselves. i still need that information, and there IS a tool available.
i’m not saying AI doesn’t hallucinate things, i’m not saying it’s completely trustworthy, i’m not sayin it isn’t stylistically eroding us to the lowest common denominator, i’m not saying that everyone should use it for everything— the only reason i know i can use it safely for my purposes is because i’m so educated. what i’m saying is that i still need information and until someone builds google from 2019 again, this is the only way i can get it. i know how to fact check, i know how to read studies, i have a jstor account associated with my library.
idk. sorry for the essay, i’m low key on one today. but i’ve been seeing people approach this subject with no nuance from both sides and it’s irritating, because in the enshittified world of 2025 there is a use case for this piece of technology and many many talented informed people insisting there’s not is starting to get to me.

- #i do think that the AI bubble that’s filled with carbon monoxide hovering over the american economy is bad tho
- #that is an unambiguously bad thing
- #tech bros 🤝 finance bros
- #the 🤝 is being so so stupid about new ways to make money
- #also the part of me that secretly believes in conspiracy theories definitely thinks that the enshittification of search engines
- #and the rise of AI
- #are uh in fact the same cultural force and everything is a psy-op
- #(similarly i think the free people’s village is ALSO a psy-op but you’ll have to listen to the podcast for more info about that)
- #but being aware of these forces =/= being able to do anything about them
