“Drink deep, or taste not the fanfiction spring”
That image needs a content warning for YouTube Face. Jesus H. Fuck.
7·18 hours ago8 thousand words of Daria/Hellraiser crossover fic has not been enough to get me invited anywhere.
Laudatory quote number 3 is from Cremieux…
… the EAristocrats!
The NYT also ran this little story about Bloomberg having “to correct at least three dozen A.I.-generated summaries of articles published this year”.
By “better”, he means “more fuckable”.
There’s just something so … basic about HPMOR. Oh, so you wrote a Harry Potter story? Targeted at emotionally vulnerable neurodivergent young people? That’s playing fanfiction on easy mode. Meanwhile, people are out there inventing a whole sui generis fandom about humanity being force-femmed by communist space plants. I don’t understand it, but (stirring brass band) by Gad, I respect it.
OK, that’s a night in the drunk tank for you.
Are you, like, posting drunk? Because your comments read like you’re posting drunk.
Bro. What are you doing?
🎶 If I had a Death Note / Ya da shinna shinna shinna shinna gamma gamma game / All day long, I’d namey namey names / If I had my own Death Note 🎶
One erratum: the review that goes into how HPMOR’s science is bad was by “su3su2u1”, not Dan Luu (who just archived it from the original Tumblr).
One possibility is Rebecca Weber’s Computability Theory (American Mathematical Society, 2012).
I can’t be bothered to look up the details (kinda in a fog of sleep deprivation right now to be honest), but I recall HPMOR pissing me off by getting the plot of Death Note wrong. Well, OK, first there was the obnoxious thing of making Death Note into a play that wizards go to see. It was yet another tedious example in Yud’s interminable series of using Nerd Culture™ wink-wink-nudge-nudges as a substitute for world-building. Worse than that, it was immersion-breaking: Yud throws the reader out of the story by prompting them to wonder, “Wait, is Death Note a manga in the Muggle world and a play in the wizarding one? Did Tsugumi Ohba secretly learn of wizard culture and rip off one of their stories?” And then Yud tried to put down Death Note and talk up his own story by saying that L did something illogical that L did not actually do in any version of Death Note that I’d seen.
And now I want potato chips.
Reliance upon “AI” is a fucking disease. Effective treatments are unknown, but theory suggests that repeated tasing in the nads may show potential.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable duck.
I’m trying to imagine how a John Oliver sketch would introduce them. “The kind of nerds who make you think the jocks in '80s movies had a reasonable point got together and sold ‘science’ and ‘rational thinking’ as self-help, without truly understanding either, and it got very culty.”
