There’s A SHINGLE In My Tree

Ok wait I’m actually gonna use this

That’s one way to remember it

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

Ok I officially am in love with stemblr

Hunter Dress-Up Beta Testing Applications: Open!

Hunter Dress-Up is an upcoming fangame about a certain fellow from The Owl House. It will be hosted and available to play on my website once Beta Testing is complete.

In the current stage, it's about 85% done. That's why I need YOU to sign up to play it and provide feedback on it before it's released.

The purpose of testing is to get public opinions, suggestions and criticisms, how well the site handles amounts of users, and fix potential bugs. If you're interested, read more to see how you can apply!

Testing Process

Applications close April 16th. Beta Testing will be conducted from April 18th-24th. Depending on the outcome of testing, I expect the first version of the game will be publicly released within the 2 weeks after that. I'm unsure if I'll be able to accept all applications, but I'll do my best :3

Sometime after you apply, I'll contact you (on your preferred platform), and send you a link and password to the site. Afterwards, you'll be given a survey to fill out regarding your experience. I may or may not ask you additional questions.

Apply here!

Misunderstood Rich Girl - Pacifica Starter Pack

Joining a part of the no ai starter pack trend! I’ll make one for Dipper and Mabel as well~

I’m so done with America

Listen.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

GORGEOUS SPOOKY PRETTY FISH MAN

@kiwiaok said freaky deep sea Neil and I went overboard with my gifted/inherited Hunt Crowquill pens. Now is he secretly tiny or is he human sized

Seriously I’ll say it again. These are so cool and fun

(background colored in with ohuhu markers)

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

It’s him!!!

Tom!!

Purple boy. The fact that there are so many things wrong with this demon is what makes me like him.
