hate when I finish a really brutal movie that shakes me to my core and then I can’t even recommend it to people. like it’s incredible and everyone should see it but also I have to slap 3,000 warnings on it and tell you you’re gonna feel like shit
maybe it’s an unpopular opinion and I’m not saying to watch media that will trigger you on purpose obviously but I think people need to be okay with movies that make them uncomfortable sometimes. it’s good to feel like shit now and then. the beauty and horror and poignancy of the human experience shouldn’t always be watered down and neatly tied up into a palatable package. something that disturbs you can also move you. it can change you. growth is often uncomfortable. there are so many masterpieces that might profoundly affect you that you’ll miss if you only look to movies for pure entertainment and nothing else
we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better
I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo
do y’all realize just how beautiful it is that everything is interconnected in this universe like if you didn’t do that one thing then you probably would’ve never met certain people or if you decided to stay in that one place or didn’t read that one book then things could be so different that’s so crazy
