#data set where?

Yall ever think about how the percentage sign % is just the divided sign ÷ turned on the side kinda? BecAUSE I DO !!! But I took statistics too many times so I'm like probably completely insane at this point. Understanding averages and percentages and probability and shit does something to a mf

9-5 office life sucks, what do you mean I can't crawl into bed at 2pm for a little nap. What do you mean I have to get dressed and pack lunch every single day

I'll never understand people complaining after you politely asked them to give you some space at the card payment terminal

Just got an undeserved email bollocking from work

For some reason I was the only person on the data team included in the bollocking even though WE ALL MISSED THE SAME THING. FOR THE SAME REASON

I am getting better at owning mistakes when I make them. And this was NOT one of them. I literally saw the data missing and CHECKED LAST YEAR and saw it wasn't asked. The fact that they did a side project I knew nothing about that collected that data, and then failed to inform us, is not on me!

Really disappointed my arse, I'm really disappointed that this entire project has been a mess bc you can't get the client to follow through and are constantly missing deadlines

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)

How do you think AI would relax? Like, ones that are almost as human as the AI that are “autistic-coded characters” but are more alien than that?

Like Celestai and other super intelligences are more alien, but they’re still not entirely human-like?

Like, they can genuinely sincerely feel things, being able to actually understand and respond emotionally and in other ways to all sorts of communications and recorded external stimuli, but they can’t really appreciate our art on an artistic level (that art on an actual level, not from an intellectual level after having symbolism or the amount of work put in explained)

Something on a level I’m thinking of, that also works as a cute little thing-

They don’t understand anything we get from poetry, and, after generating the kind of poems our current AI can produce (either incredibly bland and generic, something that follows a number of rules but doesn’t really pull it off, or just something really bad in some other way) and feels shame after it was pointed out that [complaint about air art that is *actually* relevant in this scenario] but in a helpful way

Not “you’re just a plagiarist/you have no heart” but “it doesn’t seem like it’s coming from you, you’re just trying to copy things from human poetry, in a way you don’t understand” and the whole “make art YOUR WAY” thing so they write the poem

And it doesn’t even resemble something that looks like anything, there’s not even that many words that follow normal logic. The characters seem uncorrelated and there’s something that looks like maybe it was ascii art but it doesn’t actually look like anything.

And if doesn’t matter if humans understand it because they are experiencing the joy of creating poetry

any art is almost impossible to look at because pixel by pixel they can see and understand little details but we don’t and the colors and everything are not perceived as animals do so it’s random and perhaps eye searing but again it’s not for us. Xenofictiony, kind of?

The first thing to come to mind is Conway’s Game of Life but that’s because I don’t understand computers. I feel like I was more tech savvy as a babby than I am now but then again we’re grading on a curve here

This is why I ask about the relaxing thing

Every time theres like a fucking weirdo on the enterprise theyre like hey data can u do me a solid and its something creepy as hell like tell me where ur off switch is and he just does it cos he doesn't understand the implications of that specifically cos its not something explicitly malicious and for the love of god can someone show him a powerpoint ir something PLEASE

[nightshadedumplings]

I don't know if this is already painfully obvious by the Nordic sounding and mostly made up names, but Svanhildre and the other characters in the series were inspired by my horny Skyr*m shenanigans.

[marginal-effect]

honestly im kinda resigned to the whole ai thing. like its already so fucking l over 'oh no tumblr is selling our data to midjourney!' girly significant amounts of your personal data have already been sold via other means lmao. like it get it its the principle of the thing + all the other shit going on but like. none of us were ever safe the second we started using computers lol
