IM CRYING youraislopbores.me

A LIST OF WORDS FOR COOL.

A DUDE THINKING SOME SERIOUSLY DEEP THOUGHTS.

THE BEST HOODIE OF ALL TIME

MY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MACHINE. A "CUTE CATBOY" AND BEANS.

SO THIS SHIT RULES. youraislopbores.me

[doing an elden ring replay] i want to slap varré every time he calls you "my lambkin"

also (sorry i'm genuinely so fucking pissed about this): "chatbots help people" when for the last 5 years it's "try our cheap therapy app that makes mental health more accessible" from silicon valley assholes like WHICH ONE IS IT THEN

that's actually exactly what i was thinking, that saying "ai helps people" is like saying "meth helps people"

anyway today i hit a punching bag so hard i bruised my knuckles

also: if these ppl truly cared about censorship they'd be fighting book ban bills with all their might but for some reason all their energy is saved for tech company founders

also who the fuck has received immense help from chatbots are they in the room with us right now

i think about killing myself 2x a week & i think we should destroy the machines how about that

also it's not stigma free help lmfao. it's got all the biases of the scraped data. the fuck

"No, I'm an academic who has struggled with suicidal ideation all of my life who understands just how important it is to have access to tools that can provide judgment and stigma free help. I advocate for all of the folks in similar positions that have received immense help from chatbots."

this is actually insane and u cannot use your own mental health struggles as a shield considering how chatbots/ai companies have driven multiple ppl to suicide

you know what is rly funny i learned that kewpie the food company does actually have a working relationship & collaborates w the rose o neill museum. the kewpie ceo thought the doll was like. a generic american baby doll & he thought it was cute so he used it as a logo

Comics drawing of artist Rose O’Neill, sketching a Cupid-like “Kewpie Doll” on a canvas, w 10 imaginary dolls floating around her. Art by Wendy Xu for Kazoo magazine #39.

Rose O’Neill, creator of the wildly popular, & lucrative, “Kewpie Dolls,” kept a standing reservation at an NYC restaurant for any artist who needed a meal. “You can’t make art if you’re always hungry,” she said.

A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”

Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

yeah! it's really interesting & weird

i like it! it's weird but in a good way

sharing dao via nut is ANTIETHICAL TO DAOISM LMAO (i like this anime i just find this so funny)

hell's paradise is fake daoist the real point of daoism is NO NUT

trying to write secondary world fantasy like "how many ways can a billionaire die horrifically"

tech bros are so bad for my creative brain like i cannot come up with a plotline that doesn't end up with one dying in a horrific way when i want to write something cute lmao

he's friends w a billionaire lol 😒

Wang Shishen 汪士慎 (1686-1759), October 1728:

每餐先备买鱼钱，曾记携归小似拳，
一自爪牙动黠鼠，傍人安稳卧青氊。

I set money aside for fish before each meal.
She used to be no bigger than my hand --
Now with claw and tooth she routs the crafty rat,
And drowses by her humans on her mat.

HELLO?!?!?!

oh tyler i'm so sorry!! wishing you a smooth recovery & glad you are getting help ❤️

this is why i always feel the urge to end a tirade at a tech bro with "kys" lmao

love that many of my local shops are making zines/small books. like yes i absolutely want to read about where your goods come from or how you like to use them!

I WISH THEY WOULD

imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free

we should all listen to him
