europeans have types of racism i didn’t even know existed

you can drive for two hours in europe and pass through 17 different types of racism

“American ideas of race don’t apply in Europe” true! Very true! Y’all have race divisions like shrimp colors.

i’m starting a movement to stop calling this shit “artificial intelligence” cause it’s fucking not. it’s not intelligent, and the things it produces are not informed by logical choices. it doesn’t know how to research sources for you. it doesn’t compose art thoughtfully or meaningfully.

call it machine-generated, text generator, chat bot, but it’s not intelligent.

ALT

I use “procedurally-generated,” which seems to convey the idea pretty well.

Here’s an archived version of that Ted Chiang interview

And here are two more essays Chiang wrote about this topic:

There also needs to be a button for “this is the 5000th time I’ve read your fic because I’m having a horrible day and this is the only thing in the world that always brings me happiness.”

good news: there is!

Support the folks posting work on comment-ebabled sites!

I love when people leave comments on my old stuff.

Its like passive income but it actually works to make me happy.

Honestly though, comments like that are gold to me. I love to write and a comment telling me that something I’ve done has improved someone’s life even in a small way? That’s impact. We live in societies that tell us over and over we have no value and nothing we do is ever good enough. So for someone to post a comment telling us that we improved their lives with our stories? That tells us our effort had value. We writers set out to improve the world in tiny ways, offering random acts of kindness in the form of a few minutes’ entertainment, and comments tell us we’ve achieved that little goal.

You can totally come back and leave a comment under that comment a year later! I’m glad to know you are still enjoying it and want to know if you’re doing okay.

calling my lover “mine” but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else’s, “mine” like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. “mine” not like possession but devotion.

Not “belongs to me”; “belongs with me.”
