working in a factory has you thinking so much about the insane chain of labor & transport that goes into making literally anything
#like first you realize that You are making & doing things that you previously had thought - if you'd thought abt it at all - were automated#& you become incredibly aware of how all the materials you're working with came from somewhere - these plastic clips are from france; this#fabric is from india etc. and that there are people in factories there making those things and that they are also probably getting their#materials from somewhere#one of the little things that makes me think about this the most is we have these 50m rolls of cotton banding we see onto canvas & nets#and in theory it should be all one piece but sometimes it's actually two pieces which you discover when you get far enough in the roll and#find that there's a join where it's been stitched together by hand (!). which is a little annoying bc we can't use that bit so you have#to cut that but out & stitch it together again on the machine which interrupts what you were sewing before & slows you down But it's so#striking to me bc like it's really easy to look at this banding & it's so exactly the same & obviously machine made it's Really easy to#forget that there are people there running these machines. who notice there's a break & have to stop what they're doing & get a needle &#thread and stitch it together. by hand! like someone somewhere has handled exactly where I'm touching it & i don't even know where in the#world they are!#the other place this happens is often on the selvedge edge of the fabric there's writing in pencil i don't know ye meaning of but evidently#was important to the process somewhere & someone wrote that out#idk like it's really easy to watch those videos of really specific machines in factories & convince yourself that everything is automated#but the truth is the vast majority of stuff is not & is made by people doing that. & even when it is there are people running those machine#<- and i'm not saying this in a soppy way tbc. this whole system is a nightmare of exploitation & to some degree I'm just continually amaze#by how insane this whole process is & also how completely un-transparent it is unless you are made to think abt it#another thing is noticeable when you look at our orders that most of what we sell isn't to customers it's to shops who then sell to custome#which then makes you think like. those plastic clips from france are they actually made in france or are we just buying them from france?#are they actually made by underpaid people in a country the name of which is completely lost to the chain of production at this point#anyways none of this is new it's just when you are working in a factory using this stuff you start wondering like.#what's the factory like that the person who stitched this banding together like. what's their day like there#wish we could talk abt how fucked up this all is - for them especially probably - together#thoughts

why is mattel so allergic to giving their dolls curly natural hair
#like. i know irl black women can do whatever they want with their hair#black hair is super versatile and that's legitimately amazing#and i know giving hundreds of thousands of dolls tiny little braids would be very expensive to manufacture#even if the process is totally automated#but. would it kill them to give their dolls tighter curls??#or not just slap a few braids on top of straight hair and go 'eh good enough'#like. there are SO many natural hairstyles they could do that don't involve microbraiding doll hair#half up half down. fauxhawks. bantu knots. pineapple updos. tree braids. afros. afro puffs. thick twists. french braids#goddess braids. undercut fades. pixie cuts. literally just ponytails#like! there are so many options! and it feels like they keep hitting the mark#monster high

I understand that a lot of things are called AI, and none of them are actually "artificial intelligence", but I do want to point out that a lot of the "AI = complex scientific models that have been used for years" is genuinely the exact same thing as "Ai = generative tools"
The ai that gets applauded on here because it can detect sickle cell disease is constructed on the same basic principles as the ais that everyone on here hates, like chatgpt and dall-e
#I'd wager that some things falling into the 'things that automate tedious processes' example are also constructed the same way#but im not positive#i am fairly positive that there are nearly zero games that use the same structure to handle npc behavior though#that seems way too complex for how npcs work in the vast majority of games and would probably backfire more often than be useful

Gentle reminder that there's a person behind this blog and a little patience + compassion goes a long way. If you're concerned about something, please give me a little while to respond before messaging multiple times. I've got 40+ people to coordinate contact with for this year, but I promise I will get back to you if given more than a couple of hours.
#log#sorry if this post reads as prickly. just got some stuff that warranted a reminder that this is not an automated process and i am just a guy#and a guy who would appreciate some grace and maybe a please once in a while#thanks

top line x supporting robo

SEA @ DAL (05.11.23) — during robo's 8-game post-season scoring drought, right before his 3-assist night against seattle

#jason robertson#joe pavelski#roope hintz#dallas stars#stars#*#niche gifset trying to articulate what i love about top line's communication style don't mind me#understated but highly reflective and discerning problem-oriented system that knows exactly when to push and support one another#even if so much of it /is/ Do The Right Thing or Make The Right Play that's not to say there aren't highly manual and emotionally-dependent#processes that influence their in-game automation#and it takes three people who are both aligned in the standards they hold themselves to on the top line and who know how to reliably#navigate and distribute that pressure amongst themselves#i'm normal..........#i do think roop being like yeah we talked about it i told him to chill out is legitimately romance though.

unfair when I think automating a process should be very easy but it turns out to be very not
#mine#I spent two precious hours trying to dynamically produce a pivot table#a task that takes six clicks to fully format manually#I gave up on the second half of the process#which was the part I was actually hoping to automate#fuck excel and fuck VBA

we never should have let programmers (or programmers bosses more likely) get away with calling AI fuck-ups "hallucinations". that makes it sound like the poor innocent machine is sick, oh no, give him another chance, it's not his fault.
but in reality the program is wrong. it has given you the wrong answer because it is incorrect and needs more work. its not "the definitely real and smart computer brain made a mistake" its the people behind the AI abdicating responsibility.
#i am pissed about the google ai summary shit#they were already having problems with summaries#u ever tried googling what to do if someone is having a seizure???#the old classic style summary would show you a list of actions saying ''do these things''#and if you clicked through to the source website you WOULD see that same list... under the heading ''do NOT do the following''#and they really thought automating that process further was a good idea huh????

i haven't played minecraft in years, but with the armadillo winning the vote, i think about how wolves don't really have much going on in terms of their utility. like anytime i tame a wolf, i end up just kinda keeping them sitting at home.
i think if mojang really does feel like wolves are deserving of armour, with the addition of armadillos, they really need to update wolves to be more useful as companion mobs, because personally... i never feel the urge to bring a wolf with me when im going out to do things, especially if it involves combat.
like, what do dogs do best? fetching stuff and digging, right? like i wish that i could just mill about with a wolf and they track a scent or something and start digging into the dirt and then proceed to bring you that item. like it could range from rarely digging up iron nuggets to digging up vegetables or whatever, yknow. combine the fetching stuff with combat and you wouldn't have to manually pick up stray arrows or items from mobs your wolf kills.
the only other thing i wish you could do with wolves is automate their health in some way, like give more utility to the bowl item so you can place it down for them to eat from so you don't have to constantly manage their health by looking at their tail. just minor quality of life stuff i guess.
idk, that's just my thoughts. i do like wolves in minecraft, they just feel rather lacking with the way some new mobs have so much going on, like the sniffer and allay and so on.
#id like to play minecraft at some point but sadly i dont think my current computer can run it due to not supporting opengl#but yeah. i usually keep this stuff to tags but i figured my thought process wouldve ended up with more than 30 tags#so thusly just. lone post of my thoughts.#but back on subject. i kinda think about how you could automate like... mob farms with wolves. but i run into dead ends#like how do you specify which mobs to have your wolf ignore. and how do you target them in the first place without attacking them#like. maybe the scope? like you zoom in on the mob you want attacked. idk. thats a tough one to figure out.#cause like it has to be something that can be easily executed. and easily managed.#like im imagining going to a pig pen and letting a wolf in to go kill and then bring back the items#but like you dont want the wolf to kill all of them... and yeah ik theres more efficient ways to farm mobs#i guess i just want it to be a bit more player involved. add some fun to it.#i like going around and doing things. automation is kinda less of my thing in most cases#especially with the complexity of some things right. like having a simple easy option would just be nice to have i guesz#its just all about how you go about executing it in gameplay#anyway thats all my damn brain power#minecraft#tagging that for myself for if i gotta find it later

Unfortunately all chatgpt is good for is interview/job application stuff which I think says a lot about the hiring process as a whole
#wrenfea.exe#as an actual artifical intelligence? no its horrible bc it really ISNT one#its a writing synthesizer it generates writing based on data searches and boundaries from training#thats what a neural network is its a very convoluted input-output sequence#it has no capacity to understand the meaning behind what it generates#it is simply generating the specific things that the user is looking for#the job interview process has become so robotic and automized that ai fits in perfectly#but employers HATE that people are turning to chatgpt for cover letters and interview answers#so it was fair for them to use filtering programs to accept/deny applications before it got in front of an actual human being#and its ok for them to use ai and pre-written formats to make job announcements descriptions and interview questions#but god forbid we are forced to use those exact same tools to get a humans attention so we can get a job and not starve#pushing aside the whole copyright debate on chatgpt and the environmental impact of its power usage btw#im soley analyzing how its become commonly utilized on both sides#by interviewer and interviewed#the mechanization of the whole process is now on both sides#it just seems very inhuman..#its also how some people have figured out how to somehow become employed multiple times by the same company due to lack of human oversight#and how automated theyve made their hiring process#probably should have made these tags into a separate reblog oops#also disclaimer do not cut and paste right into your application materials bc chatgpt often just lies#also many places now can tell you used chatgpt due to how similar its answers are#i only use it to make a template and see how things can be phrased to be more professional and buzzwordy#id never use it for something actually creative#and dear god do not write academic essays with it#i tried using it to supplement my own cover letter template but it was too robotic even for a cover letter#it is very good at accessing and summarizing publically available information#thats all it does not make sure the information is true or good

saving photos off the aew website
aew posts photos from dynamite/rampage in their photo gallery here: https://www.allelitewrestling.com/aew-photos
you can't right-click on anything in the wix gallery, which means you can't right-click save the images. however you can click and drag the image to a new browser tab, freeing it from the clutches of the wix gallery.
now you can right-click save the image, but its actually a "webp" file. bad! i hate webp!
you can access the jpg version of the image by simply deleting everything after the "~mv2.jpg" part of the url. so you want to keep only this highlighted part, basically:
now you are looking at the jpg version of the photo! it's not a webp and as a bonus its at its largest original size. congrats.
its kind of a pain in the ass to manually delete part of the url for every photo if youre saving a bunch of them. i use a bookmarklet to truncate the url automatically. here:
javascript:location.href = location.href.substring(0,location.href.indexOf("/v1"));
you use this by adding a new website bookmark in your browser, but instead of putting a website url you put that whole javascript line in there.
when you click this new bookmark, it'll look for the phrase "/v1" in your current tab's URL and delete it along with everything after it for you, and then load that url. handy!
it will do this for any website or url. so dont click it when you dont want to
#talkzon#mainly just posting this because i was saving images out and was getting annoyed at the process#theres probably a better more automated way to do this. does gallery-dl support wix sites..?#well. this lets you pick out individual images instead of downloading the whole batch at least#(sigh) the things i do for reference#actually now that i think about it...#ever since i got into wrestling ive been using a frankly ridiculous amount of the windows command prompt#mainly to uh. save/archive videos and images.#finally have a reason to flex my technical muscles#(the reason is being Obsessed with Media)

i think my main continuing and unsolvable issue with ai image generation technology is like, most of its early rise in popularity was from the type of hypercapitalist techbro who shills crypto and NFTS and shit, and then everyone else just was like oh but i like it so it's okay. like i understand that it isn't actually meaningfully more consumptive of water than any other online usage that requires cooling for large/many servers, i respect that people who are actually interested in making art for the sake of making art can learn how to work with the technology, but i don't respect that it's the equivalent to how wojak and virgin/chad memes first blew up in usage among people whose main political stance is they should be allowed to call other people slurs and then mainstream meme culture just forgot about all that and adopted both of them
#also i don't like the idea of automating a process that is like core to the human experience but that's more an issue with how the tech is#used than with it existing in the first place. like corporations would've figured out that application for it regardless of if it was pushe
