It has been too many days since anyone left any Sirius thoughts in my inbox and tbh that’s very homophobic of all of you.

#as the sole authority on sirius black #i am very disappointed #or hawkeye pierce thoughts #those are good too

If you're famous you have to be careful what you say no matter what. I don't care if whatever you say isn't meant as mean or whatever. If it's mean it's mean and you should really stop and think twice before speaking. You're famous which means you have fans and those fans are going to come in a lot of different shapes and colours and people!! Stop being shitty please

When I found out that the director to all my favourite spooky weird outcast movies and the director to the show that defined my 11-year-old childhood were part of making the disaster that Wednesday is I cried.

How does someone who created one of the best without a doubt Superman origins show and the man that directed Beetlejuice and MADE The Nightmare Before Christmas fuck up THAT bad?

#i can agree that wednesday was the better live action monster high #but my god that is NOT how the addams should be #and no it is not a remake #they literally said it was supposed to be a “new chapter” in wednesdays life #yet they literally paid ZERO attention to the movies or original show #i am very disappointed #tim burton and creators of smallville why? #also i don't even want to get started on why i hate the take jenna ortega has on this #anti wednesday #anti jenna ortega #you can't bring the outcast to the outcast where they are STILL the outcast

soooo I`ve watched Sea Beast

and I`m REALLY frustrated right now 

First half of the movie is AAA level of monster hunting sea-sailing adventure, the atmosphere and the tone and the accents, they are all so goddamn amazing, I had so many chills and freezing behind the screen moments during underwater beasts shots! 

THE OPENING SCENE WITH THE SHIP ON FIRE AND THE STORM AND A LONE SURVIVOR BOY HITS SO FREAKING HARD 

.....

aaand then we have the second half of the movie which is just boring. The girl is shown as the #1 fangirl of the Hunters, she knows the book by heart, yet she is the first to dismiss it and changes her heart almost instantly. Her profound line about heroes being wrong is thrown out of nowhere, and she is not once bothered by the fact that her parents died because of the monsters. 

Of course any movie about monster hunting that leads to friendship with them is going to be compared to HTTYD, because you cannot do it better than that. To it`s credit, Sea Beasts doesn`t really try to - the movie has a first half dedicated to amazing hunting action, and then skips the ‘taming’ part right up to ‘friendship’ and consequencial ‘rescue/stop the war’ motive, however the first monster hunting bit is the best the movie has to offer really, and everything after is just wise lines from main characters without any effort to gain said wisdom (the heroes are wrong bit), or it`s just plain boring. 

The main monster (’Red’) seems to have a very intelligent and ruthless twin, because I cannot comprehend how the beast that planned it`s underwater attacks, and tried to sink a ship with a vortex of it`s own making, could be the same beast that willingly decided (for some reason???????) to bring to little humans into dangerous territory where said beast is hunted and could be killed.  Also, I have no idea how the cute little blob swam through the ocean. 

There is absolutely no understanding of the beast side of the conflict. They have no comprehensible reasoning, and no apparent logic (see - the same monster plans how to sink a ship and then takes human on a ride) which we can follow, I`m not even talking about them being far, far too intelligent to be a believable animal, that`s not even on the table, but the movie not even Once adresses the fact that a lot of hunters died while warring with the beasts - they are a part of the conflict as well. Instead, the film points the blame on the authority and propaganda, and that`s it, monsters were friendly this whole time. This is a magic solution to a complex problem. 

basically I`m very SALTY (ha). The first half of the movie was amazing for me, I loved it dearly and it gave me a lot of chills, but everything else here is just stale and boring. 

#the sea beast #i am very disappointed #definetely reccomend the first half of the movie though #the action and the hunting and the sailors theme is held up Wonderfully

#desperately trying to break out of my art block with the guys #anyway happy friday #gravity falls #stanford pines #fiddleford mcgucket #fiddauthor #if u want #i still am disappointed w how the journal handled the shapeshifter. very underwhelming imo #we couldve had a fucked up parental relationship between these guys and their weird homicidal son #or the identity crisis implied by 'am i me? is he me?' #we could've had the thing (1982) but with a much smaller and gayer cast #but instead they just put fiddleford in a box and had him be scared again. lame #artwork of the damned

yes i have personal & intimate reasons for my own (lack of) religious/supernatural beliefs, but it's not dishonest to admit: i am also an atheist bc at no point in my life have i, after completing a slightly unpleasant task, been witness to an angel/imp/sprite/devil/entity-of-any-kind manifesting in all their glory to offer me a pat on the head and a little plastic baggy of crackers (by way of encouragement/reward).

call me childish but in my heart of hearts i cannot truly participate in a belief system that tolerates such negligence

#ok u are free to believe in angels who perform miracles very very rarely when no one is watching #and i am free to disbelieve (and be disappointed and judgemental) in angels who (fail to) perform boring acts of mild encouragement #look if a spiritual being & divine messenger isn't gonna be my imaginary friend when i'm 7 years old and having a hard day #then what is the goshdarn POINT of yall? #blah blah blah revelations & prophecies. if you can't show up sit down shut up and comfort a lonely 2nd grader having a 1-person tea party #then u aren't qualified for any divine duty nonsense. gtfo

Been thinking recently about the goings-on with Duolingo & AI, and I do want to throw my two cents in, actually.

There are ways in which computers can help us with languages, certainly. They absolutely should not be the be-all and end-all, and particularly for any sort of professional work I am wholly in favour of actually employing qualified translators & interpreters, because there's a lot of important nuances to language and translation (e.g. context, ambiguity, implied meaning, authorial intent, target audience, etc.) that a computer generally does not handle well. But translation software has made casual communication across language barriers accessible to the average person, and that's something that is incredibly valuable to have, I think.

Duolingo, however, is not translation software. Duolingo's purpose is to teach languages. And I do not think you can be effectively taught a language by something that does not understand it itself; or rather, that does not go about comprehending and producing language in the way that a person would.

Whilst a language model might be able to use probability & statistics to put together an output that is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate, it lacks an understanding of why, beyond "statistically speaking, this element is likely to come next". There is no communicative intent behind the output it produces; its only goal is mimicking the input it has been trained on. And whilst that can produce some very natural-seeming output, it does not capture the reality of language use in the real world.

Because language is not just a set of probabilities - there are an infinite array of other factors at play. And we do not set out only to mimic what we have seen or heard; we intend to communicate with the wider world, using the tools we have available, and that might require deviating from the realm of the expected.

Often, the most probable output is not actually what you're likely to encounter in practice. Ungrammatical or contextually inappropriate utterances can be used for dramatic or humorous effect, for example; or nonstandard linguistic styles may be used to indicate one's relationship to the community those styles are associated with. Social and cultural context might be needed to understand a reference, or a linguistic feature might seem extraneous or confusing when removed from its original environment.

To put it briefly, even without knowing exactly how the human brain processes and produces language (which we certainly don't), it's readily apparent that boiling it down to a statistical model is entirely misrepresentative of the reality of language.

And thus a statistical model is unlikely to be able to comprehend and assist with many of the difficulties of learning a language.

A statistical model might identify that a learner misuses some vocabulary more often than others; what it may not notice is that the vocabulary in question are similar in form, or in their meaning in translation. It might register that you consistently struggle with a particular grammar form; but not identify that the root cause of the struggle is that a comparable grammatical structure in your native language is either radically different or nonexistent. It might note that you have trouble recalling a common saying, but not that you lack the cultural background needed to understand why it has that meaning. And so it can identify points of weakness; but it is incapable of addressing them effectively, because it does not understand how people think.

This is all without considering the consequences of only having a singular source of very formal, very rigid input to learn from, unable to account for linguistic variation due to social factors. Without considering the errors still apparent in the output of most language models, and the biases they are prone to reproducing. Without considering the source of their data, and the ethical considerations regarding where and how such a substantial sample was collected.

I understand that Duolingo wants to introduce more interactivity and adaptability to their courses (and, I suspect, to improve their bottom line). But I genuinely think that going about it in this way is more likely to hinder than to help, and wrongfully prioritises the convenience of AI over the quality and expertise that their existing translators and course designers bring.

#alright getting off my soapbox now #apologies if this is not particularly coherent - i was very much working through my thoughts as I was writing #but yeah tl;dr i am not huge on LLMs especially for language education and am deeply disappointed by the way things are trending #anyways if anyone knows any learning tools that are similarly structured i'd appreciate the recommendation #being able to easily do a little bit of study on a regular basis helped me a lot and i've yet to find anything similar #duolingo #language #language learning

Chilchuck analysis speedrun: As a hardworking half-foot who grew up poor and discriminated against and had his gullibility taken advantage of multiple times in his early adventuring days, Chilchuck thinks optimism is a dangerous flaw. He’s stressed and strict all the time because his job is noticing details like traps that could get everyone killed before anyone knows it, he takes the lives of everyone to be on his shoulders, and with the way he speaks about it that probably partly reflects how he felt about taking it upon himself to provide for his family too. His life’s always been pretty centered around work and has become even moreso now that his wife left and everyone is independent, and due to past events he’s very iffy with bonding with coworkers. He thinks feelings and job are a disaster mix. Like with his wife or with parties hiring him as sacrifice, being open or having good faith is vulnerability which can get you hurt, so he processes and shows all his stress as anger instead of worry. Doing strict dieting probably isn’t helping the irritability what with hunger, and on top of being a hunger suppressant alcohol might be the main stress reliever he has.

His grey hairs are so earned

#Chilchuck tims #dungeon meshi #analysis #HAPPY CHILCHUCK DAY #You know what yeah understandable have a good day #Alcohol be a ticket straight to chilling out town I suppose #Spoilers #dungeon meshi manga spoilers #Thinking on if I should split my family masterpost into diff posts for max reach hmm #Anyways I’m def editing in the second page into that post that “I’ve got three people to think of here” sounds sooo much like that’s #How he’d think about it in a family setting as well. He works so hard for them 🥺 #I could have put 100 pics on this post to justify everything I mentioned but this is a speedrun for a reason. I’m planning so many #Compilations rn i need a break from rereading lol #He’s just here to do his work!! He just wanna do his work!!! #I’m always rotating him in my brain like rotisserie chicken :( Hopefully this doesn’t sound disjointed or insane to average readers #He’s always on his guard so he has a short fuse and his type of humor & liking for snarky remarks doesn’t help #Also bc he knows nothing lasts he has a very work hard play hard mentality where ‘dying doing something you love. Like drinking’ #Is nice in his opinion #This post makes it all sound so dry. Chilchuck is so messy thinking about him is thrilling I swear. This is concise but at what cost… #OH ALSO he has weird self-hate issues where he really values his skills but devalues himself on a personal level. #‘I am a coward. I only care about myself. I cheated on my wife (lying for no reason)’ etc etc #Can’t disappoint people and make them leave you if they already have no expectations and esteem of you 😏💡
