Yess I love them
dipcifica is really funny because dipper is SUCH a romantic at heart. but his dynamic with pacifica is nurtured by the fact that they can both kind of be assholes. and verbal sparring is something they do for enrichment. so stuff like fake-arguing with her can still make him develop a case of goo-goo eyes, because he likes having a Thing with her. it's just a funny dichotomy
ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:
if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?
what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.
the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?
people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...
all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads
I love it when I wake up at 4:30 in the morning on the couch, am forced to take a freezing cold shower, try to go back to sleep and end up having at least 3 of the scariest and most disturbing and depressing dreams I have ever had in my entire life, wake up at 9 feeling like my stomach is actively collapsing in on itself, be sick for the next 2 hours until I finally manage to haul myself out of bed without feeling like I’m gonna puke (I somehow did NOT have a fever), pull on clothes so I can drag myself to school for a test that I cannot miss, take said test, then cram out three chapters of government notes immediately afterwards. It is now 8 pm and I have a headache and am starving and I am shaking for some reason and I am still at this godforsaken school with nothing but $3 vending machine chips to sustain me. I love it SO FREAKING MUCH when I tell someone about all this and their immediate response is “are you okay??”

LIKE GIRL WERE YOU LISTENING TO ANYTHING I JUST SAID NO I AM NOT OKAY
Omg too in character
Simon: Doric kissed me!
Xenk: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Simon: It was unbelievable!
Xenk: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Edgin: Okay, we wanna hear everything. Xenk, get the wine and unplug the phone. Simon, does this end well or do we need tissues?
Simon: Oh, it ended very well.
Xenk: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!
Edgin: Okay, alright, let’s hear about the kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, “I gotta have you now” kind of thing?
Simon: Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh God, and then we just sort of sunk into it.
Edgin: Ohh... So, okay, were they holding you? Or were their hands on your back?
Simon: First they started out on my waist and then they slid up and then they were in my hair.
Edgin and Xenk: Ohhh.
*meanwhile*
Doric eating pizza in their house: And, uh, and then I kissed them.
Holga: Tongue?
Doric: Yeah.
Kira: Cool.
When I say "king behavior" I usually mean something Jesus would do
