Specifically it's not good at being right, it's good at sounding right and that is incredibly dangerous! As someone with a decade of professional copy editing experience, you miss the mistakes that seem reasonable not the obvious errors and that's one thing that makes AI such a terrible prospect

This is actually vital. Your plan for surviving a horrifying event can't be "consume every word of every news story, read people despairposting and speculating on your phone for hours, then go tell the group chat you're freaking the fuck out about the bad thing for more hours" or you will McLose It

as I’m opening to queries in a few days, it’s time for a proper #mswl. I’m primarily looking for YA/adult SFFH and serious trade non-fic in the broad history/sociology/archaeology space. I’m very keen on the literary end of genre, as well as commercial stories that say something about society. 1/?

Having ChatGPT write your class essay is like paying for a personal trainer at a gym and then having a robot lift the weights for you.

This becomes funnier for me because KCH is also an abbreviation for Kuching, an East Malaysian city often called the Cat City due to the similarity in its name with the Malay word for cat. I'm just imagining the phone going "cat! cat! cat!" and it is SENDING me

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter. This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life. Look at him. Absolutely irresistible. And that's how they get you, the utter bastards

every one of those op-ed columnists has spent years building up a follower list on twitter, many of whom left, and so they are angry because you owe them your attention ad to help them get paid, your entire existence is to facilitate their need to put in as little effort as possible, know your place

Sorry, I don't care if I'm in an echo chamber. It's fucking Saturday. I don't need to be confronted with endless transphobia and "just asking questions" folks when all I want is to laugh at some stupid jokes while I eat Reese's pancakes and ignore my family.

I just saw a US pollster say that they have the greatest electoral system in the world. Man, the world does not stay up with popcorn and alcohol, watching *well run* elections waiting to see if an orange lunatic fuckwit bigot is going to be given control of the nuclear weapons or start a coup.
