If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.

I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.

If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!

Something I don't think we talk enough about in discussions surrounding AI is the loss of perseverance.

I have a friend who works in education and he told me about how he was working with a small group of HS students to develop a new school sports chant. This was a very daunting task for the group, in large part because many had learning disabilities related to reading and writing, so coming up with a catchy, hard-hitting, probably rhyming, poetry-esque piece of collaborative writing felt like something outside of their skill range. But it wasn't! I knew that, he knew that, and he worked damn hard to convince the kids of that too. Even if the end result was terrible (by someone else's standards), we knew they had it in them to complete the piece and feel super proud of their creation.

Fast-forward a few days and he reports back that yes they have a chant now... but it's 99% AI. It was made by Chat-GPT. Once the kids realized they could just ask the bot to do the hard thing for them - and do it "better" than they (supposedly) ever could - that's the only route they were willing to take. It was either use Chat-GPT or don't do it at all. And I was just so devastated to hear this because Jesus Christ, struggling is important. Of course most 14-18 year olds aren't going to see the merit of that, let alone understand why that process (attempting something new and challenging) is more valuable than the end result (a "good" chant), but as adults we all have a responsibility to coach them through that messy process. Except that's become damn near impossible with an Instantly Do The Thing app in everyone's pocket. Yes, AI is fucking awful because of plagiarism and misinformation and the environmental impact, but it's also keeping people - particularly young people - from developing perseverance. It's not just important that you learn to write your own stuff because of intellectual agency, but because writing is hard and it's crucial that you learn how to persevere through doing hard things.

Write a shitty poem. Write an essay where half the textual 'evidence' doesn't track. Write an awkward as fuck email with an equally embarrassing typo. Every time you do you're not just developing that particular skill, you're also learning that you did something badly and the world didn't end. You can get through things! You can get through challenging things! Not everything in life has to be perfect but you know what? You'll only improve at the challenging stuff if you do a whole lot of it badly first. The ability to say, "I didn't think I could do that but I did it anyway. It's not great, but I did it," is SO IMPORTANT for developing confidence across the board, not just in these specific tasks.

Idk I'm just really worried about kids having to grow up in a world where (for a variety of reasons beyond just AI) they're not given the chance to struggle through new and challenging things like we used to.

Im sobbing right now because of how much I like your drawings............ Especially the Scout x Pyro ones..... I've never thought of them in this light but you provide BEAUTIFUL context to them I just can't 🥹🥹🥹 They are SO SWEET I absolutely love how Scout adores pyro being cute and innocent and wants to be closer because HELL YEAH!!!!!! I want them to hug sooo much I want them to feel each others warmth and to be kind to each other and and and 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Thank you for your existence I hope your 🍺 is going fine

I've received so many questions from people, and they've given me a lot of comfort. I'm planning to answer every single one of them as time allows—though it might take a really long time. After all, I can't drink every day. 🍺

But I have just one request. Please, don't send such beautiful questions anonymously.

I really want to know who you are.

Anyway, I don't know who you are, but to the person who sent this question—I love you. 🫀❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍💗💖

i had a vision

it is NASTY how Walt immediately starts referring to Jane as Jesse's "stripper girlfriend" and gives absolutely no credence or respect to any of Jesse's personal relationships. Walt constantly insults everyone Jesse cares about in order to alienate and isolate him into a world where the only valid relationship Jesse's allowed to have is with him. the only person who Jesse is allowed to spend time with is him. When Walt berates Jesse for not answering the phone he says "what could you possibly be doing? Pick up" and Jesse sprints in to answer to him. Walt knows Jesse has very few people in his life, has no plans, no obligations, no one checking in on him. Literally textbook predatory behavior. And Jesse just falls right into all of his traps. every time. whew it's crazy in here guys, tune in

they'll fund a genocide and let their poor regions be destroyed. don't fucking forgive them for that.

my hometown is completely gone from what pictures i can find of it, i have not heard from my family (including aunts, uncles, parents, one sibling, and a grandparent), and the infrastructure in the mountain communities is wiped out. i cannot stress how catastrophic this is, or how difficult it will be for these communities to build back. i am angry, and scared, and heartbroken by everything that's happened.

and our government is spending it's money to fund a genocide.

free palestine, and don't be complicit. realize that this is not something happening that doesn't affect you--although it shouldn't take this to care about the deaths of thousands of people anyway.
