Here is our draft definition of 'artificial intelligence' from 1981.

It was written by a lovely human.

@gimbapfal The Andrew Garfield-ness of it all makes it less morbid for me

My position on argumentation is often sourced from a phrase I read in a Japanese book:
'Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind even if you are right.'

It’s sad bc the balance of apathy and perfectionism they aspire to doesn’t exist. You have to try then fail. You can’t be effortless. It takes effort. I love my cringey tumblr poetry. teenage me singing in the mall. You try, you cringe, you fail and you learn to succeed. Fuck em.

[deeksha⁷ @deekingout]

Ahahaha to this day I am haunted by A Fine Balance (which I've been swearing I'll read for 12 years now) and Sophie's Choice (I likely will never read this the movie destroyed me). Fudged assignments for both of these in college 😭

if you’ve never experienced the rush of getting a good grade on an essay you wrote yourself about a book you never actually read then you haven’t lived

@gimbapfal I have decided to be a sap and make u feel loved

[deeksha⁷ @deekingout]

@MrNarci Oof yes, feels like it would be such a rush to discover things in that way. The book I'm currently reading has scenes of the protagonist researching poetry in the library archives for her dissertation and the exercise is so fascinating 🤌

[deeksha⁷ @deekingout]

I think about all the interesting things that exist in the world that interesting people get to research and write about while I do my job of Email and Meeting

@stardustxashes Ooh that's a helpful clarification 😅 Sword of Kaigen and the ML Wang one I've been eyeing for a while!

[deeksha⁷ @deekingout]

I always tell everyone The Emperor's Soul is a great introduction to Brandon Sanderson.

So many many titles in this list that I love! Many I'm taking away as recommendations too.
