being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?
#I'm literally gonna be on a panel/workshop in October to tell students about the risks and warnings if they use chatgpt for their academics#unfortunately we can't tell them they're not allowed to use it full stop but ough#it's dependent by professor what their policies are so we have to be open and transparent regardless#I also just bought a new laptop and the amount of stuff it was asking me about if I wanted to enable re: AI was so annoying

When I was a kid, I didn't know trans men existed. I thought that nobody actually likes being a girl, that's just something that unfortunately happens to you, and you just gotta suck it up and pretend to be happy about it. Something vaguely about how it'd be shameful to admit you'd rather be a man because that's not The Feminist Stance, you just gotta grit your teeth and endure that shit and insist that you prefer it that way.
When I first learned that female-to-male transitioning even exists at all, my first thought was to wonder "why hasn't every woman done this?" How has this been kept secret so well that all women haven't flocked to transitioning if that's a thing you can do?
It was only over years that it actually sunk in that yeah no, women really do just want to be women, like genuinely. For the first 12 or 13 years of my life I wasn't aware that trans men exist, but in a more vague and unaware sense, I did not believe that cis women exist.
#okay i feel this actually.#i'm a woman but i'm also not#but i don't want to be a man at all#i LIKED my girlhood and growing up as a girl but it was also so demoralizing#it still is!#but i know i'm not 100% cis#i want to be a woman but not like that

Installed expanded party mod and I don't care if it broke the balance. Divinity: Fallen Heroes vindicates that decision.
Getting bombarded with their praises near the end overloaded my heart. If Elden Ring gave me emotional cuckholdery last year, DOS2 provided emotional catharsis this year.
