#NO MORE DOC REVIEW!!!!!

[tea-tuesday]

11/03/2023

today was the last day of my internship!! after saying goodbye to my coworkers/supervisors, i went to a café to finish reading normal people and study for the state bar (i'm on the last module). for the rest of the semester, my goals are to focus on my seminar and write my 30-page paper, study for the state bar, and have as much fun as possible before i go back to campus next sem😩

Not sure who thought it was a fail??? But you can’t please everyone!

(Mild spoilers)

Overall, I thought it was good. We got the relationships we wanted (lovers, sisters, best friends) and the conversations that were needed. Lots of laughs, lots of heart stings and plenty of action.

It wasn’t quite the ending I was hoping for, but the good thing is, it has definitely left the door open for another.

Melanie was amazing as ever, going seamlessly between sarcastic and emotional.

Dom’s progression in themselves was evident and so good to see that Emily allowed it to continue into their character. They are as sassy as ever and very funny. (I lost count of the amount of times they mentioned Nicole’s fingers…)

Doc’s character was a bit confused I thought. He clearly loved Wynonna but he didn’t seem sure of who he was. I felt it meant he didn’t have that spark he normally does.

Kat was adorable as ever and her comedic timing was on point. She was tough, soft, funny and loving and I was happy she still had the ‘little mermaid vibes’.

I will do a much more detailed review soon, I just don’t want to post too many spoilers as there will be so many people who haven’t seen it yet.

If you haven’t, strap in, it’s a great Earper ride!

Now, I've mostly been making Batfamily related blog posts, but I want to talk a little about something different.

Now, Spider-Man is quite literally my favorite character in not just comics but all of fiction. I just got done reading The Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives, and it was great!

I may say this should be on any essential reading list for anyone interested in Spider-Man, Mary Jane, and their relationship. Also, it should be shown to anyone online before they say anything about MJ. I think this would help stop most of the bad takes and misconceptions people have about her.

I love the two of them together, and this book does a pretty good job at showing why they work.

Also, Doc Ock's in it, and he's used pretty well. It was not his best appearance, but it was still a pretty good one.

Below are just a couple of pages from the story. Read them if you want to, but if you would prefer to go into the story blind, then, of course, don't.

Me upon realizing that I can just have an AU instead of writing an entire fanfiction about an idea I had in my head once:

[bloodonmysqueegee]

Ok everyone sit your asses down. How about that news, huh?

This clarifies things a whole lot for Superior Vol 3 so here's my thoughts on that:

We get BOTH an untold past story and a brand new run in the present which I am verrryy happy about :]

But then there's also this (love the "kicking, screaming, and violently exploding bit) :

I'm kinda confused on how they are going to bring back superior without cloning him cuz I assumed they were gonna shove his brain into a preexisting clone (which I guess might still be possible under different circumstances but who knows) and also no time travel so hm.

I highly HIGHLY doubt that they're going to have Superior take over Peter's body again because that would be a kinda shitty move and it wouldn't make much sense considering everything prior (and also while slotts current spiderman run is ending to make way for superior, I think the current asm run will also continue at the same time so Peter should still be around and separate which THA NK G O D)

There's also a possibility that they could have og comic doc ock fully take up the Superior mantle on his own, and as cool and awesome as that would be I'm gonna be honest, I don't think the Marvel execs have the balls to do that :( they don't like change, you see

The safest route ofc is to have superior existing as a separate being from Pete and doc ock so he can live for longer than a month and they have no reason to delete him. Annd I'm pretty sure they are leaning towards that, but I'm still just a bit concerned on how it'll happen. :<<

BUT ANYWAYS THESE COVERS FUCKING SLAP

Still overly excited about this, can't wait to ramble about the guy forever ever

"Our results suggest that between 6.5% and 16.9% of text submitted as peer reviews to these conferences could have been substantially modified by LLMs ... the estimated fraction of LLM-generated text is higher in reviews which report lower confidence, were submitted close to the deadline, and from reviewers who are less likely to respond to author rebuttals." (emphasis mine)

this is just a rando arxiv thing so like grain of salt, but

(1) lmao

(2) it is interesting (and depressing) to me how, like. there's a realm of stuff that we Have Not Been Able To Automate, right, where you actually need A Real Fucking Human Being to sit down and Use Their Cognitive Faculties to determine Is This Real Or Is It Bullshit. and for a while we've been relying on, like, some human Typing Up Some Paragraphs as a sort of proof-of-work that can't really be replicated by an automated system

now admittedly, all these systems that fucking *hate* the "ineffiency" of spending human time and expertise to properly analyze a situation, so the people in those roles are inudated with Too Much Work, and thus they've already been trying to skirt proof-of-work in various ways (writing lazy/bad peer feedback, skimming the paper, etc). so, y'know, "use of chatgpt to churn out the peer reviews you despise doing and don't have time for anyway" is just a step function in a trend that already clearly existed. but it does seem sort of troubling how much everything pushes toward doing things in this "efficient" way (that is, ways that look good in ways that are easily legible) instead of, like, are we doing something real here. because the real doesn't go away. and when quality just goes to shit because ppl are too lazy/tired to properly vet stuff, augh

absolutely love how the ART gatsby marketing team is essentially doing the exact opposite of what the broadway/paper mill gatsby has been doing
