The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.
all the little hurdles they had to overcome– like getting the neural network to hone in on the most useful fragments of the incoming message, and teaching it to identify semantically different responses instead of generating, say, three variations of “let’s meet tomorrow” to reply with
ANYWAY:
Another bizarre feature of our early prototype was its propensity to respond with “I love you” to seemingly anything. As adorable as this sounds, it wasn’t really what we were hoping for.
HELP, THE ROBOT IS CUTE.
Oh my god whenever I get a writer’s block my brain automatically sub in “I love you” for the next line. It’s probably the only full sentence I know in a few languages. I wonder if it’s just such a prevalent part of the human language that it’s just embedded into the human subconscious.
i’m bored of mental health discourse that doesn’t consider capitalism’s effect on people. like sure i take antidepressants to deal with mental health problems, and they change the chemicals in my brain, but the root cause isn’t that the chemicals in my brain were wrong, it’s that we live in an alienating hell system that treats people as commodities
not to be mean, but do you srsly think something else like communism would help your mental health?
i think not having to spend a third of my life doing something i hate surrounded by people i hate in order to not starve would improve my mental health
i think having adequate free access to mental health services would help my mental health
i think not being constantly advertised at and told my worth is measured in how much shit i own or how much men want to fuck me would help my mental health
i think not having to worry about choosing between a roof over my head and a meal in my stomach would improve my mental health
It might seem a bit odd for a tech at a shelter to be excited about a pregnant dog about too give birth, but i helped nurse her through pneumonia and emaciation so I’m happy that she’s healthier and finally going to not be full of 10+ puppies. She arrived at about 50 days along and this is day 63. She also was found running loose with an intact male husky that we are assuming is dad.
So the entire shelter is basically on puppy watch and demanding updates from the foster mom and were all going nuts over puppies. We’re human and well… Puppies.
So apparently she waited for my coworker to get off work (she’s super bonded and won’t sleep unless my coworker is snuggling her), was let out to pee, and then dragged foster mom to the whelping box and went into labor proper! I should have puppy pictures to share tomorrow morning!
I seriously love this mama dog. She’s so sweet and just wants to be loved and even dad is unusual calm and affectionate for a husky. The babies should be really good tempered with such parents. And they’re gonna be little potato pups and I hope they’re all sorts of colors and patterns and eeeeeeeeeeeee
The first puppy has landed!
He has husky face mask! Looks like husky is indeed the daddy!
puppy #2 and it’s a little boy. Looks like he’s going to take after dad.
Mama dog is popping babies out left right and center now. There was a 2 and a half hour break between the first 2 and now there’s five total, 4 of those born in the last hour. Four of the pups are pale, leaving the first born girl sticking out like a sore thumb.
Final tally was 13 puppies! I was sure there was at least 12 (vets thought 10 so HA!). When foster mom sends me a family pic ill post it. Most puppies are pale colored apparently.
sky's stuff
