this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

It was this scene (specifically the “Are you mad? I am your daughter” line) from The Others which I have never seen, but they played a clip in a commercial for some cable Halloween programming and it shook me to my core youtu.be/_LvUmxUqPTo

padding the word count of my novel by adding "So anyways," to the front of every paragraph. obviously you can't really do that with the first paragraph of the book, but in all other cases it's fair game. if you can drop in the occasional "So basically what the whole deal is, is that," even better

"the raw data of a novel" 🙃 The way AI evangelists talk about art is truly alien to me. (From a comment left on an article of mine.)

If you put in the raw data that is needed to write this novel and all the ideas are yours what is wrong with having AI write it? All the foundation was yours. Maybe you're not that great of a writer, but hey you can sure craft a plot and storyline, build characters and design your own world. Yet the problem comes in putting it all together. Isn't that writers use to do before AI was hire GHOST writers to finish a manuscript?

nothing more annoying than people who think they’re smart for knowing about tropes. I’m not really a bit bookstagram/booktok guy but I’ve always found it endearing how much that community celebrates tropes without patting themselves on the back for recognizing them

why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon

people may be confusing this with “matching gifts” which often ARE done that way. if a nonprofit says “your gift will be doubled up to $5k” that usually means $5k has already been donated and doesn’t depend on your gift. that’s an entirely different scenario

eli @calamitytrain.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

there’s a common misconception that “the donation has already been made, the company just wants you to reimburse them”. this is false. when I’ve participated in these campaigns, we get a check for the total amount raised after the campaign ends

I work in fundraising and have done a number of campaigns like this. the money donated actually goes to the cause, so don’t pretend your refusal to donate is some sort of anti-corporate activism
