and seeing people congratulate each other like it's not embarrassing to watch from the outside just drives me up the wall sometimes! please have a crumb of perspective & try to interrogate the logic of your beliefs rather than going w the current popular copy+paste phrases TT_TT

i feel bad that i'm so cranky on here all the time but bsky is the land of bad ai take echo chambers and it gets frustrating to see the same intellectually incurious, /proudly/ ignorant blabbering

-e.g. being pushed on people in work situations where it isn't actually useful, unethical use by corporations, etc., without confusing that for the very concept of "AI". it makes people look like they don't know what they're talking about (and they proudly broadcast that they don't)

ai has been incredibly useful to me as an artist and as a developer, you don't have to bury your head in the sand and pretend that isn't so just because you personally refuse to engage with it or even learn about it at all. "AI" is value neutral. we can engage in criticism of how it's used-

it's like. if you take your politics seriously /at all/ there's no justification for ignoring the reality of fatphobia as an axis of marginalization and YET

these are great! i particularly love the hand pieces

just answering your question 👍

bc it was related to frying stuff!

if you smoke weedd you become terrible at pottery :(

it's not horribly written, but it reads to me (in terms of language as well as content) as extremely straightforward and nondescript barring maybe 1 flourish ("So, here I go"). i could be missing some subtlety but it reads as bog-standard prose down to the use of "Next" to begin the paragraph

yes unfortunately :(
