AI BRAIN IS THE NEW LEAD POISONING

An entire generation decimated by an inability to think and with the taste of a facebook grandma. It’s only going to get worse. The only solution is the hasty construction of a rigorous social taboo against it.

ChatGPT

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one. a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment. b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions. c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people! i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.

not using chat gpt

Actually I have another hater take. Sorry but I do judge you if you use this (or any other AI chat bot because apparently there are others?) and treat it as a source of truth.....very strange behavior. I thought we all thought it was dumb but I now hear people reference it's use in common conversation/at work as if it's not weird? Why are you all feeding the beast? Can we please use our brains? Use it or lose it, baby!

Protesting

i have seen so many protests for palestine in the last few weeks and saw so many people not protecting themselves. here are some tips (this is all my opinion and not at all by a professional, if there even are professional protesters): (partially ripped off of tyrathetaurus on twitter) first of all: protesting is good. if you have the privilege to attend protests for a good cause, definitly do it. you can inform yourself for every protest in your city online, it really isnt that hard. just look for the protest, your city and than 2024, or whatever year. second: many countries have the right to assemble!! i know of USA and Germany. its a human right to assemble and protest. dont forget this! third: the police is NOT your friend! they are not there to protect protesters, they are there to make it more difficult for you. we have seen this in BLM protests, we are seeing this on uni and college campuses for palestine. whatever you do, try not to talk to police. 1. how to stay safe: - write phone numbers on your body, write your name on your body - DO NOT go alone to protest. always have at least one person with you. if you see someone alone, help them, stay with them, invite them to protest with you. - put your phone on airplane mode, disable Face ID and fingerprint, use a PIN-Code, change your phone case to a black one, if you dont have it already. - never take pictures of others with out their consent (this is self explainable). try not to take pictures and videos of people that could be easily recognised. - dont wear stuff that can be easily recognised. wear stuff that hides your face and hides your skin. - WEAR A MASK!!! not only can it protect your from diseases, it hides your face incredibly well. - DO NOT talk to anti-protesters and police. youre doing more harm than good. its better to ignore than argue. 2. what to do if stopped and/or detained by police; what to do if youre threatend with or under arrest - dont resist. they will attack you - make sure someone is recording you, the officer, and the situation - ask if youre free to leave. if yes, WALK AWAY - ask why you are being arrested. if they dont answer: ask for legal represantation - DO NOT give personal information, everything will be used against you. Your rights if youre stopped/detained: - you have to give consent for the police to search your stuff. if you do, everything will be used against you - police can pat you down if they suspect a weapon on you 3. what to do if you see someone being detained - film it. police cannot view or delete the footage - talk to the person, calm them down. they are likely nervous and scared 4. USE YOUR PRIVILEGE!!! help the disabled, help possible minors, find medics for harmed or someone having a panic/anxiety attack, help BiPOC if theyre harrassed, etc… 5. if you are a minor, you should NOT protest, unless your guardian or a trusted adult is with you. remember: DONT GO ALONE 6. if you cant participate, HELP THE PROTESTERS!!! drop off water, allergy friendly food and snacks, sharpies, cards with helpful phone numbers, masks, hand sanitizers, etc… 7. cant protest at all? BOYCOTT AND REPOST!!! doing even something small is ALWAYS better than doing nothing. inform yourself https://bdsmovement.net/ especially if you are a minor: reposting stuff online, telling and informing others about the situation and boycotting IS HELPING. please stay safe, go protest if possible, always help others.
