a while back a guy I knew was trying to justify having gone to Curtis Yarvin's wedding, and his girlfriend said "Don't you find him thrillingly contrarian' and I said 'That's how boring people excuse being racist'

Unfortunately all they need to sell this to most people is “it will be easier for you in the short term to outsource your intelligence” (& anesthetize yourself for the long term, whether or not you understand the long term consequences.) Why is higher ed is sowing the seeds of its own destruction?
This is the reality of what AI companies want for the future: where EVERYONE is unable to function without relying on them for "intelligence as a utility."
In order for them to sell this to us, they need to convince us our brains are never creative, interesting, able enough.

pixel art of a male Townsend's warbler perched on a small branch and looking up, its legs and feet partially obscured by two oak leaves protruding forward and to the right. The warbler has bright yellow colorings on its face and breast with a black eye-ear patch and smaller yellow band just beneath the eye within that patch, and stripes of black and gray following just underneath the wing, giving way to white, gray and brown colors below. The wing feathers are dark with light edges and two wing bars. A subtle beam of light crosses behind the bird from the upper right to the lower left, against a light reddish-tan background

I am fondly remembering (only partially remembering) the “who are gritty’s biological parents” thesis that someone developed on Twitter
One was the Philly Phanatic, obviously, and the other was a mascot whose name I can’t remember who danced on the dugout and got thrown out by the umpire

Okay. The good news is that the transfer looked really good after I let it go for 45 more minutes. The bad news is I’m still at work. But I will be able to leave soon.
