this is the butterface base default model for this character mod btw. this is what i transgoblified her from

you made me accidentally say the sentence 'i unethically bred this goblin' to my gf irl. these are the real life consequences of the internet

i'll never understand why some people have a problem with trigger warnings. if the content being warned for doesn't bother you then you can just use it as a recommendation. literally where is the problem. everyone wins.

content warning: this media contains excessive gore and violence that some viewers may find disturbing

me: how thoughtful of them to warn for that so that people can avoid or at least be prepared for things that might upset them

also me:

obsessed with the fact humans successfully made computers to do math so now we are making computers worse at math

This is why it was a huge mistake to dub something the way of the future and dump billions into it before seeing if it has any crippling flaws.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it:

Even the engineers working on this shit, who should know better, seem to be laboring under the illusion that they’re building a robot friend. That these large language models are one step away from Johnny Five, from Lieutenant Commander Data, from Bender Bending Rodriguez.

And they’re just not. They’re not even close.

It’s an absurd delusion.

We literally already knew it had this flaw! Chatbots have existed since the 1960s and machine learning algorithms for them have been around for at least a decade or two.

This is from 2016! We know that as soon as algorithms start interacting with the public instead of just "learning" based on curated datasets, then trolls, liars, bigots, conspiracy folks, and others will start tainting the data set with nonsense. ChatGPT has put in more guardrails and programmer-generated responses to try and prevent it from encouraging genocide but you can't predict everything people will hit it with.

The core problem is none of these "AI"s are actually intelligent. They can "learn" what dialogue looks like from statistical analysis of examples given but can't actually evaluate if they should include a given statement in their pool of examples. Which means once they are exposed to the public it's only a matter of time before they break.

re: my "go pick up garbage on your block" tag, i really believe this, i use a regular bucket and either long bbq tongs or a grabber arm thingy. I walk my dog every day and I don't hold the leash, the leash is attached to my belt or to a sturdy cross-body strap so I have free hands. dog likes to sniff and meander (this is good for them, you have to let them sniff and dick around) so I have two hands free to put litter in the bucket. I dump the bucket out every time I pass a big trash can. I can keep my whole neighborhood much cleaner by doing this regularly and it's not any extra wear n tear on me. apparently David Sedaris does the same thing so I feel I am in good company

yeah!!!

Renaissance monk attempting to describe a game of Tekken 7: "I saw before me a great precipice, upon which would take place a battle between two great spirits, each flanked by banners of xanthous color which unfurled to that of blood when the spirits were struck. On the left was a demon in the shape of a bear, which stood upon its haunches in the posture of a man. On the right, an angel in the shape strong man with the head of a great cat. I watched as the spirits wrestled and struck each other with strength unlike that of mortal men. It was a terrible vision. I shall recuse myself to fast for a fortnite (he spells it that way) lest I am plagued with further dreams. "

Élise had a rather indulgent meal this week, a pair of banded crickets fed with hami melon. she doesn’t have as much of a sweet tooth (toothplate?) as some of my others, but she ate the entirety of her meal, including the juicy sweet melon-filled organs.

I taught my dog how to shake!

*this should never be performed on an Élise who is not in the middle of stuffing her face, or any other centipede

Wait why not?

did you not see the huge venom claws (forcipules) on her head? imagine your finger is this hornworm…

while all centipedes primarily eat other invertebrates, many large ones also possess compounds in their venom that are especially effective at killing small vertebrate prey. for large vertebrates like you, it won’t be deadly, but Asian Scolopendra like her are said to possess one of the most painful stings in the animal kingdom.

giant centipedes are at the top of the invertebrate food chain, but still fall prey to other large invertebrates, as well as vertebrates. they will not hesitate to defend themselves with their venom if they perceive a threat, and human scent is plenty threatening to them! …though knowing how greedy Élise is, I’d be more worried she’d just try to eat my finger. on the plus side, when she’s eating, she loses all interest in anything else so gently raising her terminal legs for a funny photo is safe enough

these are my best friends in the whole world. my anchor when im in a storm. My lighthouse on a stormy night. The definition of i would know him by touch alone. Shout out to the keyboard bumps.

the fucked up thing is that i’ve been in this exact situation and actually felt some measure of beauty in the world. but only when the streets are empty and the area descends into a time of day when it clearly was not meant to functionally exist. there is a wretched beauty in walking around one of these suburban sprawl commerce zones at night or close to dawn, sitting down at a table like this and basking in the sensation that you own the place. maybe this is an inherited derangement from living most of my life in the midwest suburbs, working late night shifts at a grocery store on a corner exactly like this one. maybe it’s just the only time of day in a place like this when you can be truly alone outside

not joking I would kind of like to brutally murder whoever thought it was a good idea to take away clicking on a person’s name to see their reblog and make it borderline impossible to get to the original version of a post without spending ten minutes scrolling with ctrl f

Helpful tip:

If you have the post date option turned on you can click the date and it will take it to the original post like before. It's annoying, unintuitive, and harder to click but it should work on mobile or desktop

this is the most ridiculous possible workaround thank you SO much tumblr user suffusionofyellow for sharing

Definitely works.

Morally, I’m against death threats. That being said, I really, really, REALLY hope that something horrifically bad happens to this person

This is kinda an unpopular opinion but I don’t like how HEAVILY people associate scene and emo culture with the early 2000s.

If someone dresses in trad goth people don’t as often tell them: “it’s not the 80s” or for punk/grunge “it’s not the 90s”.

Alternative fashion and music just do not work that way. Alt Subcultures don’t just “go out of style” the way mainstream fads do.

Because it’s not just a style. It’s a whole ass culture we’re talking about. Art, music, literature, fashion, movies, sense of humor, hobbies, etc all go into subcults & People who don’t follow the crowd aren’t going to care what the latest 2023 trends are, if that wasn’t obvious already.

Seriously what alternative person is gonna be like “wait, my style isn’t what everyone is doing this year? Dang well let me find out what everyone IS doing this year so I too can hop on the bandwagon!”
