recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen Al for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen Al for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that Al can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen Al will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

It's fun being aware of this effect but bad at judging how you yourself come across wrt it to other people. There's this one person I thought I crossed that point with three times in the past year. If I take them at their word, I still haven't somehow.

jfc I thought the merger itself was bad enough news but now I wish I could just delete the corp entirely. Fuck it all. Disperse their IPs into the public domain and let the execs starve. Cmon, we could at least try? What's the harm?

Such bs that the internet stopped being fun to be on right after the real world became blanket unsafe to exist in. I mean, the internet got gradually worse starting in the mid-2010s, but it was pretty fun in the first two years of the pandemic just for cultural reasons.

If I got isekai'd into TNG, I would end up unintentionally driving Picard to send me back because of how much shit I would give him for, well, many things. If I got isekai'd into DS9 and pleading to Sisko to let me stay didn't work, I'd find the nearest Prylar and BEG for the Prophets to decide.

I'm approaching the level of luddite sentiment that I kinda hope the sun will set on the age of computers in my lifetime. I don't think it will, obviously - I think it would take a genuine butlerian jihad or combination thermonuclear war and catastrophic solar flare - but still.

I really wanted to go on an adventure today but instead I have to sit here waiting for a worker sent by my landlord who might show up essentially any time over a span of multiple days. At first I was hoping they wouldn't come before I normally wake up but now I just want it over with so I can relax.

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Woke up having missed out on rain, as per fucking usual, but at least it's still cloudy. I go out to enjoy the weather only to come back inside overheated to the point I can't wear clothes. What a scam.

ugh I'm craving WoW so bad but I also don't want to sate myself on it right before Forever drops. Blizzard knew what they were doing putting out a paid beta, tempting us to get on early by paying for premium access. I won't, but man is it tempting to get in on the WPvP shenanigans rn...

So I just heard they're making healers more powerful and independent and streamlining their questing experience in WoW Forever and I'm just like... did you have to? Did you really have to port the healer oversaturation problem in Live over to classic+?

If I had any such inclination generally I'd be tempted to start some kind of betting pool on how deep into autumn or ever winter we have to go before drought conditions end. October is just around the corner and while the heat has calmed down flora is still dying of dehydration everywhere you look.

Thinking more about it, it's more like two favoured options and two mids. Just that one of those mids is reeeeeeeally good to take your time with solo in vanilla. Also, it's with a heavy heart I'm starting to admit to myself I'm almost certainly maining Druid again.

Mid-ass vampire @icylez.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
WoW Forever is still over a month away and I'm already agonising about which class to main. I know I'm going to regret each of my three options to some extent because it's just kinda the nature of the old model that we (horde, at least) don't get everything we want in one.

I've tended to focus, in the past few years, on how good it is to listen to Gunship on a clear summer day, but this month I am reminded Perturbator in autumn gloom is sooooooo much better. An evening walk set to New Model is suuuuuch a treat.

ugh I miss casual co-op gaming so bad. I'm really not actually opposed to the idea of growing up and leaving video games behind, but with covid I don't really have that option. Like, what do I do when I can't safely go outside and can't read?

Seeing people hopping on Zomboid again I kinda wish I had a squad to play it with. Either on our own or, ideally, as a largely independent group on a bigger server. There are just the little details it's hard to sell people on the game and I doubt I can even handle it myself rn

After flying through ARR and the first arc or two of Heavensward in a matter of weeks earlier this year, I've completely lost the motivation to pick ffxiv back up. Maybe the story is about to get good but idk man it's kinda draining to keep pushing through solo.

So you know how we all go wild for autumn aesthetics and autumnal weather nowadays? I wonder how far back that goes historically. Have teens and adults always loved to feel the cold september wind and see nature turn into an earth tone rainbow? Or did that start in modern times?

It's curious having gotten on injections after long covid hit because by now I can distinctly tell it's better for me than all other forms were, but I can't help but wonder how good it would have been if I got on it before.

Occasionally I'm reminded of how wack my perception of sexuality is when I'm confronted with the reality that some men are considered attractive, some even to the point that people actively want them and can fumble someone purely by being oblivious - no active effort involved. Alien concept to me.

Otrolig ironi i Mohamssons "Nu har vi bevisat att ansträngning lönar sig" när L egentligen bara överlevde genom att vädja efter hjälp för att de inte klarar sig själva. Klart det är fint med samarbete och solidaritet men att kalla resultaten egen förtjänst är ju lite sådär #svpol

Insane how close it is. I was expecting a narrow and shaky victory but not THIS shaky and certainly not this narrow. I'm glad it's looking like a defeat for the nazis, of course, but I feel a little robbed with how L made their comeback in the eleventh hour.
