The firehose of unsolicited opinions that is social media pressures people to weigh in on everything and amplifies the worst voices, when really it's healthy to learn to ignore stupid shit from strangers.

"Police focus on ladder placed against the side of the Louvre"

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

A post by exuberantocean on tumblr from November 9th 2021 that reads: When reading fanfic keep in mind that for professional literature: Short story: under 7,500 Novelette: between 7,500 and 17,500 Novella: between 17,500 and 40,000 Novel: over 40,000 Fics over 40k are literally a novel written and shared for free. If you have written a 40k+ fic, you have literally written a novel.

I feel like this needs to be shared, read, and understood.

For reference:
Animal Farm, George Owell – ~30k
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, C S Lewis – ~38k
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald – ~47k
Carrie, Stephen King – ~61k
A Wizard of Earthsea, Ursula K. Le Guin – ~56k

ADHD is just one continuous parade of doing your best to keep up with everything and every week you learn you've forgotten to do something crucial

Right? Or they could just hire my AuDHD ass. I have no memory and would like to keep chats to a minimum.

getting high so I can also use no memory and keep chats to a minimum

removing parts of chatgpt until I'm just thinking all on my own, regular-style

I will be wrong about hydrodynamics for $100 a month

So, basically, these guys are playing the worst D&D campaign ever, with dice weighted against them, but they keep on rolling, hoping for a better outcome.

Maybe we're going about this wrong. Maybe we should welcome comrade AI into our ranks. I, too, don't want to create an excel spreadsheet.

Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version Question So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file. After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now. Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

See the trick is you gotta make sure to turn off the "learn stuff" feature! That way it... okay, well essentially it's just a wildly overpriced database. But at least it stops coming up its own bullshit!

Viktor thinks he's fucked everything up but Jayce just has to bluescreen for 12 hours before he can fully read and process the note.

You know where that doesn't work? Literally anywhere humans are being silly little nerds.

You know how I know that AU has ruined the internet for sure? It's gotten hard to find meme gifs.

Chrome has decided that rather than show you all results that match your query, they're going to use AI to decide what you mean and then only show you those results?

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors “With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

I need a plugin that hides all AI results and a plugin that floats the Wikipedia article to the top of the browser.

Lol that was supposed to be "butch swag" but I guess it still works???

happy none pizza left beef day!! it's been 18 years and is now old enough to vote

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

If anything he needs to be MORE bug.

What are they talking about? Watching his face split open changed my DNA.

(Look, I like to put them through it, but I try to make it worthwhile.)

Maybe Viktor's been carrying a confession note for a while but has been too scared to send it, but he finally gives it to him in person at that moment. Same writing and stationary as the other ones.

It's okay though because while having a public breakdown Viktor let's slip "I'm just so relieved you're not taken." or something and then he has to confess and they have to smooch it out.

I was just thinking like, Viktor is with them (of course) and after Dmitri walks away he just bursts out into hysterical laughter. He can't help it, it's a stress response and he's so relieved.

Meanwhile Jayce is like "Why would you laugh about this? I'm mortified. That's fucked up."

No no, I like this. I definitely meant "dates" in a very casual way anyway. But Viktor definitely is not normal about it.

But also it has an unintended side effect of Jayce spending more time with Viktor outside of a professional setting. Which ends up kicking the mutual pining into high gear.
