“The hard sciences” is a meaningless, artificial distinction—it is scientistic not scientific. Every field is aesthetic, every field is qualitative. You cannot do research without human judgment, and the people who say you can are both wrong and revealing a delegitimating shallowness of thought.

Swallowed by the fog

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice*

This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

the face!!!! 😭😭

A colorful illustration of a bunch of tomatoes on the vine surrounded by tomato plants and flowers. Each tomato has a different goofy little face on it.

The tomatoes are starting to come up in the garden!! 🍅

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

Also worth noting:

They’re killing the media industry *first*.

Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible.

This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

this work saved millions of lives in 2021, won the Nobel Prize in 2023, and is cancelled in 2025

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net

my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

Someone on here said that videogames offer a fantasy of predictable rewards for one's work, which in real life might not be rewarded at all. I think about it a lot!

We just added two design roles and a UI/UX role here at Gravity Well. Give it a peek if you're looking/curious.

You practice so that your worst is still good. When you're exhausted, don't have enough time, the brief is slim, the anxiety's peaking and you're in over your head, at least you can still make it good enough.

You draw a ton so when the time comes you simply perspire good draftsmanship.

Being in tech and having a single modicum of critical thinking is just screaming "this isn't what LLMs are designed for" over and over as people shove a bunch of word predictors into critical decision making processes because some glorified used car salesmen told them it would fix all their problems
