various vanities
Marie posing kind of sideways in a mirror and looking distressingly like her mom. She’s wearing a red pleather jacket and black fingerless gloves. Marie throwing up a peace sign in the mirror in the same outfit. Same outfit with a black casquette hat, different mirror.

A grey sweatshirt printed with the nonsensical text “Remememr: gase besteen the terrs.” The two lines are separated by a monochrome image of a tuxedo cat.

Marie is taking a mirror selfie. She is wearing a black casquette hat and mask, a red pleather jacket, and black fingerless gloves. Underneath the jacket is a red flannel shirt. Her nails are pink and sparkly and her phone case is shaped like a cat.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't. By magicmosshka, yesterday's

first thing to do when looking at code for a personal project you haven’t touched in a while is to grep for how much pain you’re about to be in

Been rewatching Golden Girls. Grew up with the dub, it's crazy how different the sub is.
Fight well. I'll see that your remains are sent home to your families. Moonlight's beauty weakens the androids. It's why they seek out sunlight The peace you take for granted was the result of war. You dishonor the dead and the unborn when you refuse to fight. Will all nations fall to tyranny of angels?

the point of a movie is not to be done watching it. the point of a song is not to be done listening to it. the gamers' obsession with completion as the only motivator to play a game has directly led to the medium's worst traits. "AI gaming ghost" is a reflection of the lack of willingness to engage

Wish I could internalize this
brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.
