I’m a lonely smut writer in Portugal! Feel free to say hello! :3
- Comment on How do people force themselves to write something, even if they're NOT inspired? 3 weeks ago:
I just got into a habit. I listen to the same few playlists, sit with my coffee in the same chair, keep distractions away from me (out of arm’s reach) and I write. It was hard to keep up for a while at first, but now it’s not so hard even on ‘off days’. Usually, I just turn those into revision days. I also take breaks so I don’t burn out, toooooooo hard.
- Comment on According to an MIT study, relying on ChatGPT for stuff like essays and creativity leads to cognitive atrophy and such. What should I do when writing stories without ChatGPT and other AI chatbots? 3 weeks ago:
I would get into fanfiction, both reading and writing. Places like Ao3 are so batshit insane, that they sort of force you to recalibrate creativity for yourself.
Just write for fun, don’t carry any baggage about turning it into something serious or long term. You’ll randomly get feedback to improve (some good and some bad) and soon you’ll recognize what you value in feedback and what you don’t.
You’ll also start recognizing stories that you like and that you don’t like. Use those moments as opportunities to really sit and figure out why you like and don’t like those stories. Imagine how you would improve them or write them differently.
Eventually, you’ll find that you have your own ideas, your own voice, and opinions on what makes a piece good or bad.
- Comment on ChatGPT’s latest stylistic quirk is sinister, infuriating – and absolutely everywhere 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen this particular quirk outside GPT users, but Claude’s seems to be, “X is quietly doing work…” or some variation of that.
“You really hit the nail on the head, but the thing you said about X is doing quiet work as well.”
Your reasoning is doing quiet work. The context is doing quiet work. Everything is doing quiet work. We’re all a bunch of librarians out here, apparently.
- Comment on It's a cylinder 3 weeks ago:
“It is imperative that the cylinder and the larger structure it is attached to remain unharmed” always kills me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that thread.
- Comment on Why is it that when the graphics driver freaks out in your browser when watching a video, the page always turns this specific shade of green? 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s just because the answer doesn’t really contribute much. OP is asking about something specific (and kinda interesting, too!) and your response was “I don’t know, I don’t use that software”. It doesn’t really add to the conversation or help to answer the question.
Imagine if every question that got asked was responded to by the entire community, even if they had no answer, and every thread was just filled with “I dunno”.
No hate on you specifically, just thinking out loud a bit.
- Comment on SNSD the GOAT🫶 3 weeks ago:
I was gonna say, that flies in the face of like everything I’ve heard about Korea, haha.

Wait, wait, wait, you have weed in south Korea???
- Comment on You Actually Do Need to Understand Mythos | Hank Green 3 weeks ago:
In their paper, they post keys that can be verified once the vulnerabilities are patched (so they aren’t just revealing exploitable issues to the world) but in the few that they demonstrated (ones that were quickly patched), it demonstrated a pretty sophisticated ability to find and exploit multiple vulnerabilities. The patches that you saw them mention are a direct result of Anthropic reporting those vulnerabilities.
The method they talk about is basically saying that they weren’t looking at old, patched code (which would mean that the model could have found vulnerability mentions on the web that others have pointed out) but rather current, actively used software. The vulnerabilities and exploits that the model found were novel, zero day (meaning as of yet they are unexploited, ‘undiscovered’ problems).
I’m not a researcher though, so someone can correct any information I’ve gotten wrong here, but this is definitely not solely hype. It’s not exciting stuff (unless you just look at headlines) but the vulnerabilities they discovered are like actual problems, especially if a model like this gets into the hands of bad actors.
- Comment on You Actually Do Need to Understand Mythos | Hank Green 3 weeks ago:
Only about halfway through this, but it’s an interesting conversation about Mythos and software security. Glad to see Hank hitting this because I think quite a few people were like me and saw that Mythos report and immediately thought ‘hype-othetical marketing’.
I ended up reading their paper quite a bit later than the first articles started raising the flags about it, but only because a buddy pointed out one of the examples they discussed and it kinda blew my mind.
- Comment on Anon teaches you about their culture 3 weeks ago:
I simply would never get anything done. I already make myself late to wherever I’m going if I meet an unexpected street cat.
- Comment on English has too many words for animals 4 weeks ago:
Det är samma för sköldpaddor.
But also my Swedish is terrible, so that might be completely wrong.
- Comment on Sent this to my friends flexing a "top 65%" score. The site didn't make it clear that's not a good thing. 4 weeks ago:
Not to poke extra fun, but they even give examples to better visualize it. 😅 I have to think this post is just a bit of trolling anyway, though.
- Comment on Orthopedics 4 weeks ago:
Is it weird to like this? I feel like this would be hella comfortable. Does it have buttons on the side for the fingers? Because that would be cool as hell.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I wasn’t criticizing, just checking to make sure I had the right one. I can’t really afford to do even more subscriptions, but maybe one day if I ever get back into the ‘youtube style thing’ in the future.
Do you also need an invite?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Is nebula not a subscription only platform?
- Comment on Wasted potential. 4 weeks ago:
And doing heroin
- Comment on The Tragic Beauty of Majora's Mask 5 weeks ago:
Wow, I really loved this analysis. It’s so coherent and clear on reflection, I really have trouble believing any other interpretation is as accurate.
- Comment on FEMA official says he teleported to waffle house: "not new ideas for people of faith" 5 weeks ago:
When I lived in Florida, I used to teleport to Waffle House all the time, too. Usually it happened shortly after someone decided we should switch from weed and beer to weed and whiskey.
- Comment on Going to the club tonight to try to make this reality. 5 weeks ago:
I think I’m too much of a control freak to ever make this a reality. I’d need like, exactly the right group, also I would need to be friends with them, and I’d need them to know exactly how to treat me.
Maybe one day, though. :3

- Comment on This Pokémon has always been named Thicc Blastoise. If you remember it just being Blastoise then please seek professional help immediately. Clinically speaking, you are insane. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t like that this makes him look like he’s shitting his tail or tucking his weiner.
- Comment on i just got an ad in my lemmy inbox. 5 weeks ago:
Holy shit, I was just wondering how to vent about this shit. I vow that I will NEVER drink that dumbass drink ever again. This type of advertising gives me a personal grudge that, god forbid I ever have children, I will pass down through my fucking bloodline.
- Comment on Did you do this at your highschool? 5 weeks ago:
And catch a boomerang/hockey puck? No thanks.
- Comment on Makes me so wet thinking about it 5 weeks ago:
I legit remember laughing about this scene, imagining this, and having a very startling realization about myself in a very public setting.

What’s, uh… what’s the pink bit at the bottom of the third panel, there?
- Comment on Best GFY I've seen in ages - Cam Anderson from Blacktail Studio on the age gap in his new relationship [1:56] 1 month ago:
Jesus Christ, that woman is 40? I have absolutely dropped the ball on my skincare routine. 😭
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I think, in this case, they mean insane to be ‘a ridiculously large sum’ not a comment about their mental state.

- Comment on Anon contemplates AI 1 month ago:
I picked up on the reddit reference, but I had no idea how any of the fediverse stuff worked in relation to that. That’s really cool that you can link that way, honestly. So presumably I’m just missing out on exactly what instance and community people are talking about when they say stuff like that?
- Comment on Anon contemplates AI 1 month ago:
This is the second /c/ reference I’ve seen tonight. What’s that?
