I’m usually not as single minded about an issue but…

AI is garbage for so many reasons and none of us should be using it.
that includes making art as well as seemingly mundane corporate tasks.
it’s atrocious for the planet, it’s horrific for the uncredited workers who labor to power it, it bulldozes all notions of “privacy” and further fast-tracks the commodification of humanity, and it‘s fueling the dumpster fire that is an entire generation of brains raised in the cesspool of the internet.

no but the world has

its insane the use of ai and how prevalent it is fearing for the future as the use of ai becomes more and more common the use of it cannot be justified ! literally so harmful to the environment around us but so many people don't realise it and even if they do they just overlook that
actually disgusting behaviour

I HATE A.I. ANYTHING AND IDC

nothing will ever change my mind ever. chatgpt is gen z and gen alpha‘s equivalent of boomers refusal to recycle and ignorance of the environmental destruction that factories have caused. it’s making all of you dumb, stupid, and lazy sheep. if you can’t write an email or to-do list without a robot……….. all hope is lost for humanity. truly genuinely sincerely do not care even a little bit who gets offended by this… somany more thoughts i could go for hours. there is no circumstance where i think a.i. use is NECESSARY enough to actually use it ever

Reading for 60-90mins a day

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

birdwatching

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

not trying to be cool

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
