As a former humanities student, I feel it is my duty to reblog this one.
A tech bro tried to convince me AI was amazing cause “you could make 30,000 screenplays in minutes” not realising that every single one would be shit, you’d have to sift through everything just to find some good bits, time wasted that could’ve been spent just writing a screenplay.
Technology Brothers know nothing about what goes into creating a work, other than the fact a work has been created to be exploited for cash. They see creativity as an investment opportunity, not a love for humanity.

“As a chemical engineering Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh who uses a power wheelchair, I figured it wouldn’t be long before I met one of these bots in a frustrating face-off on a narrow sidewalk. What I didn’t realize was how dangerous, and dehumanizing, that scenario might be.
The robot was sitting motionless on the curb cut on the other side of Forbes Avenue. It wasn’t crossing with the rest of the pedestrians, and when I reached the curb, it didn’t move as the walk signal was ending. I found myself sitting in the street as the traffic light turned green, blocked by a non-sentient being incapable of understanding the consequences of its actions.”

[ID: three screenshots. The first is a perspective article by CityLab. It’s headline reads “My fight with a sidewalk robot.” The paragraph below reads “A life threatening encounter with AI technology convinced me that the needs of people with disabilities need to be engineered into our autonomous future.” Below the paragraph is a picture of a small rectangular sidewalk robot moving along a sidewalk.
The second screenshot is a tweeted picture by an unknown user of six sidewalk robots going down the side of the street, with a car trying to pull between two of them. There are two replies below it, the first reply is by Adrian Lopez @PaladinZilch and reads “Wow. Imagine being in a wheelchair and seeing that.” The second reply is by I [flaming heart emoji] You @IAm444x and reads “oh god the tech bros made car traffic for sidewalks [crying emoji].”
The third screenshot is a reply tweet by Will Jackson @geologywill that reads “A few weeks ago… it took 5 minutes for their sensors to figure out how to get out of the standoff… Enjoyed every second of it.” Below is a picture of three sidewalk robots caught in a circle at an outdoor bus stop, presumably stuck in their circle.

@a-square-6-28-496 here’s a reblog with image IDs
The logic of these devices being “allowed” on the sidewalk, whether they’ve found a technical legal loophole for it or not, is complete nonsense.
Motorized vehicles aren’t allowed on the sidewalk. The sidewalk is for pedestrians. Power chair users are considered pedestrians by specific exemption (and for good reason - that is a single human, using the most minimally disruptive means of locomotion available to them.)
This thing isn’t a pedestrian. It’s a miniaturized delivery van. They should be banned from the sidewalk. They might already be in most places under existing laws, and nobody is enforcing it.

No answer lies there. It cannot care, especially for what it no longer knows.

the leftism leaving people’s bodies when you tell them fat people are human and actually it’s fucked up to say that your worst nightmare is to look like us
the leftism leaving people’s bodies when you say that it’s fine if fat people are also unhealthy. yes you can absolutely be extremely fit and healthy while being fat but it’s also literally fine if that fat person is unhealthy

learning to ask ‘is this an ad’ will save your life
“guys i just got this new” it’s an ad
“let me show you what i just bought from” it’s an ad
“how am i just now discovering” it’s an ad

I’m often really dedicated to the visual quality and authenticity of the memes I make, but like idk if I could ever make another human being care about that. I used the proper font and color picked the correct color and sized everything correctly and used the alignment tool to get the spacing right and redrew the nebula background and spent way too long messing with the drop shadow settings to mimic the original text. Skyrim media literacy 0 skill meme. If you care.
