literally everything ai* can do already exists out there you're just too lazy to fucking look for it. like why search for when can just ask for? sure at the cost of a half-gallon of water dumped out for every query and my electricity bill going up and a little bit of below-poverty-wage labor, fuck you.

[* eta obvs i mean bullshit emperor has no clothes generative ai like chatgpt and other slop generators, not the kind of ai we've been using for like 15 years]

I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like

can't format a work email? templates

don't know how to write a resume? templates

writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates

a student drew a sketch of me on their “get to know me” sheet, and from other doodles, i can tell they’re a good artist, but the pic of me… idk if the drawing is really mean or just really accurately capturing how hideously ugly i am

either way it made me cry 💀

so i’ve been having a really hard time with my summer class, just a lot of behavioral issues and students not being respectful or acting like grownups (this is college, i did not sign up to be a middle school teacher for a reason, y’all) and it’s been a s-t-r-u-g-g-l-e every day… and then today after class one of my students gave me a present, they crocheted me a scrunchie and gave me cute buttons with cool sayings and stuff on them including one about how AI sucks 🥲

like sometimes you’re getting thru even when it doesn’t seem like it maybe the world isn’t terrible etc.

I think Bernadette was the first trans person I ever saw in media. I first watched Priscilla, Queen of the Desert when I was about 5 & it immediately became one of my favourite films. My love for it has evolved over time ofc, but it's been a favourite for over 30 years now.

By today's standards having a cis-man playing a trans-woman may be considered inappropriate, but for the time I'm still impressed with how sensitively she's portrayed.

Terence Stamp made Bernadette a real person, she's strong, feminine, beautiful, bitchy, kind, stern, complex, & compassionate. She's fully realised & authentic, so much so that I didn't even realise she was played by a man until I was well into my teens (probably too late tbh 🙈). The way she reacts to Adam dead naming her stuck with me forever, it imprinted that it was wrong to do that before I even knew a word for it.

I'm sure there's other roles Terence Stamp will be remembered for but Bernadette was always a stand out for me. Thank you, Terence Stamp, for Bernadette, and RIP

"For anyone who doesn't know what a Bacon number is, it is the degrees of separation a person is from the actor Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon's number is 0, Someone who has worked with him directly's number is 1. Someone who has worked with that person's number is 2, and so on. (Here is a link to the Wikapedia page on Bacon numbers for more details.)

If you don't know your Bacon number, you can check it on The Oracle of Bacon by putting in the name of the most famous person that you or someone you know have met"
