Digital illustration, Pokémon fan art. The picture shows a lone, Japanese, red mailbox by a rural road, with a meadow, river and forest visible in the background. A Wingull sits on the edge of the mailbox with an envelope in its beak, and a Torchic stands by the mailbox, curiously looking up at the other Pokémon.

An afternoon encounter by the mailbox 📮🌿

I’m so sorry for your loss. I am also very close to my grandmother, I can’t imagine how you must feel. A big hug from this side of the ocean 🫂🤍

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

bought three hopes, played it for 6 hours, and replayed three houses 🥲 i loved shez as an MC but having everyone there except byleth felt weird (the gameplay didn’t help either)

yep they hit me like a truck. i was not prepared 🥲

😳 omg... thank you.... this has been in my mind for YEARS but my life motto is: wouldn't [concept] be cool? i should think about it forever and not write it or tweet about or verbalize it in any way

both of them just living their lives and issues separately because "we don't talk about that. haha. we are Friends and we don't bother each other with that" (ingrid marrying herself off to save her land & sylvain's whole thing about seeing women as crest opportunists). they were made for this, baby!

sylvain fucking every girl in fódlan and refusing to see ingrid as one - bc if he does, he has to confront the fact that he's wanted her for years. ingrid trying her best not to be seen as a girl, bc sylvain hates women for wanting him. it's just [squeezes fist] gnhgh

LRT i actually started that fic to write more fe3h and i definitely should write sylgrid one day because they seem like the Absolute Perfect pairing for some angst. like, "childhood friends turning into complicated feelings" type of angst. but how do you fit all that into a flash fic like lol

started watching dimileth meme videos on youtube. had a breakdown. bon appétit! — archiveofourown.org/works/652740...
