Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

My personal best was an essay on the influences and meanings of post war automotive styling based entirely off of me regularly reading Car and Driver and the 59 Cadillac some guy down the street owned.

Turned out the prof lusted for a 59 of his own.

An entire thread where the underlying message is that the primary lesson from college is how to half ass things at the last minute and getting away with it... a skill AI is depriving the current generation in college from learning.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

A transfer wizard is never late, nor is it early, it transfers characters precisely when it means to.

That headline is very much this vibe...

a man is talking to a woman and saying `` so you 're telling me there 's a chance .

Twitch alerts... always bringing me old news.
#EVEOnline, #Twitch

(Also, that was a four hour drop)

Twitch telling me fresh drops are available for EVE Online 3 hours ago, and below that the message that I earned the drop 4 hours ago.

If I can get the attention of the one person who I know missed it the first time around, it will be worth the effort.

Also, I have to remind myself that we're the obsessive weirdos in this scenario. I was able to trot out a 9 month history of server transfers for context. Not normal.

Agreed. I couldn't bring myself to rant about the AI plagiarism machine when I was still stuck on their complete ignorance of the market they're trying to enter.
