The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, provided by uBlockOrigin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist,” DuckDuckGo said in a post on X. “While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.

its honestly bananas to me that so many on this website seem to assume that someone's tumblr output is an accurate reflection of their real life priorities and activism and all of their beliefs in order of how hard they believe them. like. idk about you guys but i'm reblogging things that i want to reblog not keeping a minute by minute record of my deepest held beliefs. for one thing my deepest held beliefs are mostly not about star wars
#this isn't even slightly a tumblr-specific problem unfortunately#before twitter got Worse I think the first time I've seen someone come right out and assume#that someone managing an intentionally themed (fandom/shipping stuff) account#must *only* care about that or at least it's the Most Important Thing to them#even as someone whose primary social media accounts are a mix of shallow and serious and who does sometimes post about life#I'm not gonna assume someone's random pokemon account for example means that they're thinking about that 24/7#and even as someone who does post more personal shit at times and does post and rb about serious shit sometimes#tumblr still isn't the depths of my mind it's mostly a 'hey look at this' space

Some rare good news <3
#this is lovely and I'm grateful but can we get more gender clinics then while we're at it#preferably with doctors who feel like they know what they're talking about and not just doing it out of good allyship or whatever#need a referral for a doctor that is theoretically within my insurance's hospital system but not because of Location#and I don't even feel like I'm talking to someone who understands any of it beyond surface level#and I had to take that one because my only other option was to wait another year and well#I stopped taking t weeks ago anyway because I haven't been able to make a doctor's appointment with the doctor in question#to talk about literally any of my concerns about any of it and none of my other doctors know anything either so#waiting another year really wouldn't have been any different#and I'd have to go back in person anyway it's a 40 minute car ride on a light traffic day it's ridiculous#...I don't mean to turn a positive into a negative the point is good we can't have access taken away but like#can we GET access while we're at it I can imagine people who live further away from boston have an even harder time with this#massachusetts isn't a very big state but with all the medical schools and hospitals we have#one would think there'd be more options in more places

"That's how men are" is just a more defeated "Boys will be boys" While the latter is often considered lighter and a hand wave to mean "let them do what they want" the former is basically saying that they can't help it, they have to be like that.
Stop letting shitty men off the hook by acting like they don't make conscious choices to be shitty.
I don't think men saying out of pocket shit to me on the internet is because they're men. everyday billions of men wake up and don't say out of pocket shit to me on the internet. this is clearly an active choice

someone reblogged a post from me a few weeks ago with this tag and i still can’t stop thinking about it. what were they trying to say here. is there another way to reblog something? very lost
#idk since I can't check whoever used that tag BUT I do have a theory#some people will tag 'reblogged from op' this might be the companion to that#also depending on whether op of this post had added something to the post in question#it could also mean that they rb'd it from the last person to add to the body of the post#but with as little context as we have here IDK

I made this post where I paraphrase the "what's next, I have ai eat my food and fuck my wife?" quote and some fucker who created a social app called MOOB of all things and who recently made a post asking "what are your favorite ai tools" liked this post and then followed me.
I know it's probably just some kind of bot script doing with any time someone mentions ai or maybe creating idk but it's really hard not to process it as "ah, you DO want ai to eat your food and fuck your wife." and really, I'm sure I can do that for you better. You won't even have to pay me. (And I'm sure if he has a wife, she deserves better than him anyway.) (I mean fucking MOOB DID AI GIVE YOU THAT NAME)

Whenever I think about students using AI, I think about an essay I did in high school. Now see, we were reading The Grapes of Wrath, and I just couldn't do it. I got 25 pages in and my brain refused to read any more. I hated it. And its not like I hate the classics, I loved English class and I loved reading. I had even enjoyed Of Mice and Men, which I had read for fun. For some reason though, I absolutely could NOT read The Grapes of Wrath.
And it turned out I also couldn't watch the movie. I fell asleep in class both days we were watching it.
This, of course, meant I had to cheat on my essay.
And I got an A.
The essay was to compare the book and the movie and discuss the changes and how that affected the story.
Well it turned out Sparknotes had an entire section devoted to comparing and contrasting the book and the movie. Using that, and flipping to pages mentioned in Sparknotes to read sections of the book, I was able to bullshit an A paper.
But see the thing is, that this kind of 'cheating' still takes skills, you still learn things.
I had to know how to find the information I needed, I needed to be able to comprehend what sparknotes was saying and the analysis they did, I needed to know how to USE the information I read there to write an essay, I needed to know how to make sure none of it was marked as plagerized. I had to form an opinion on the sparknotes analysis so I could express my own opinions in the essay.
Was it cheating? Yeah, I didn't read the book or watch the movie. I used Sparknotes. It was a lot less work than if I had read the book and watched the movie and done it all myself.
The thing is though, I still had to use my fucking brain. Being able to bullshit an essay like that is a skill in and of itself that is useful. I exercised important skills, and even if it wasnt the intended way I still learned.
ChatGTP and other AI do not give that experience to people, people have to do nothing and gain nothing from it.
Using AI is absolutely different from other ways students have cheated in the past, and I stand by my opinion that its making students dumber, more helpless, and less capable.
However you feel about higher education, I think its undeniable that students using chatgtp is to their detriment. And by extension a detriment to anyone they work with or anyone who has to rely on them for something.
#the closest thing to using gen ai for school work is paying someone to write your essay I think#and even then at least *someone* is probably learning something#and being paid for their work! and learning to market their skills!#(I'm not endorsing doing that but god the bar for 'better than using gen ai (and especially handing it in without checking and editing))#(is so FUCKING LOW)#anyway impressed by op because I could not finish of mice and men even#I haven't tried to read steinbeck since high school but I remember finding his writing so dry#not his stories apparently because I *did* like the movie#the difference (besides a lack of access to something like sparknotes)#is that I did read like 3/4 of it before I got bored enough to give up#my actual bullshitted essay happened when I had to cite something specific from any random book I'd read#and I'd been having a hard time with my mental health at that point and really couldn't remember the last thing I'd read#so I made up the entire book lol#I *barely* passed but I *did* pass#which is good because it was for a terrible standardized test I needed to pass to graduate#and I didn't feel (even in school for mentally ill kids) that I was allowed to stop the test and ask for an accommodation on that

One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.
Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?
Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?
Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?
***
Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.
Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?
***
Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?
Customer: …I’m pretty good.
Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee*
***
Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?
Customer: ….they’re okay.
Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.
***
Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.
***
Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.
***
Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!
***
Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.
***
Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!
Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates approriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.
#idk if she genuinely enjoys her job or just thinks she might as well ...well go big and go home I guess#(ie the Performance could be the fun part for her)#but if she DOES enjoy her job that much this is what I keep saying about how being forced to work whatever job you can get#and customer service retail and food service being framed as starter jobs and similar ideas#(for good reason few of those people are paid enough to do what they do)#really fucks everyone over because whether she does or not there *are* people who want these jobs#but for many people they're misery pits or at best just a thing they force their way through#people should only have to do jobs they enjoy doing#there will always be someone who wants to do that thing you think no one wants#if given safe and fair working conditions and if their other needs are met#and for the things literally no one wants to do? we can pitch in we all live in this world ok
