How I had envisioned the last scene of the Bad Batch would have gone:

Going frame by frame- 3rd person- following up this bright tan gravel hill, the different sets of footprints and how boots slowly follow them, when the bright trees disperse we find a blonde facing out past the hill, dunes and valleys stretching ahead with bright water and clear sky’s, she’s wearing light weight armor and a satchel,

A shoulder appears next to her, offers a bright container.

“You’re going to burn. You don’t need to use much.”

“It’s fine. I don’t mind the sun.”

“I won’t feel sorry later when I told you so.’

She shakes her head at Echo’s push for the importance of sunblock, she looks down at something in her cupped hands. Shows Echo’s face with patches of red along his nose and forehead.

when she hears the footsteps behind them she twists her head to the camera and smiles impossibly wide at the person approaching, excited and thrilled but we see the scar besides her temple, her hair braided back, her sharper nose and chin, a skull painted on her shoulder armor,

“look what tech found!”

hunter then steps into frame as she unfolds her hands, tiny geo-salamanders wiggle on her palm, their scales reflecting like glittering crystals in the sun, and she recites what tech explained

“Very shiny. Have you added them to your logs?”

She nods quickly, smiling wide, her eyes crinkling

“About to!”

hunter looks up to see tech crouched next to a nest and scanning with his datapad while wrecker holds a rock back for him, omega yells for their attention and they turn to wave

“about time serge!” Wrecker hollers.

tech adjusts blue modified goggles on his nose. “you could've missed the new record”

“You’ll owe me 15 mentell mix this time and I won't let you forget” wrecker shouts over,

turns their gazes to the hill on their right, highest point where batcher (larger and brighter blue) is resting, she lifts her head at them as crosshair is mediating peacefully not even moving as his rifle sits beside him, hunter puts a hand on her shoulder and they share as smile

“he’s gonna make it to 324 clicks this time”

hunter crosses his arms. “we’ll see about that”

wrecker shouts in the distance as a dust cloud erupts from a overturned boulder, a swarm of much bigger reptiles begin to crawl out and tech says something about how unexpected the amount is and identifies why they are attacking while wrecker throws one past frame, tech turns to run but his cybernetic leg is a bit slower than expected in the gravel thus wrecker hurls tech over his shoulder and makes a run back up the hill, tech brings his blaster up setting it to stun.

A massive salamander lunges for them but it crashes into the gravel with a crackling zap, the shot echoing up the valley to where crosshair has taken on cover fire, Echo doubles back the opposite way, heading to the newly repaired Marauder. Omega unfolds something from her satchel and it hovers beside them to hop up hunter chuckles and omega slaps his arm

“he’ll have better luck next time”

They speed down the hill laughing, they disappear down the hill with the shouting and the growls of monsters but across the fray the voice that stands out the most says

“can we check out the eastern beach next?”

black screen

“of course we can.”

Irondad fic ideas #115

Y'all remember that face-changing tech Natasha wore during the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

Tony wears some of that face-changing tech so he can attend Peter's high school graduation unrecognized

The ceremony is great. Peter is thrilled to have both May and Tony there. Tony gets to be vocally proud of Peter and nobody hassles him. Everything is going perfectly

Until, of course, Flash has to open his big mouth one last time

Maybe Flash says something particularly hurtful. Maybe Tony just can't bear to see his kid's light dimmed by this asshole on a day when he should be celebrating. He's under strict orders from Peter, May, and Pepper not to make a scene

Alas. This face-changing tech is so easy to take on and off

Let it never be said that Tony's not a dramatic bitch

#irondad fic ideas #irondad and spiderson #flash talking shit about peter being an unlovable orphan who's killed his whole family like:#you've probably never even MET tony stark #tony whipping off his fancy high tech mask:#surprise bitch #I love peter parker like a son and if you ever talk shit about him again they will never find your body #tony stark #peter parker #flash thompson #idk which is funnier #tony instantly putting the tech back on so flash is the only one who sees and will never be able to prove it #or tony being all sheepish to peter like... liSTEN he had it coming #thinking peter will be mad as people in the crowd start to recognize him #but peter's eyes are shining and he's ultimately just like #this is literally the last time I will ever see most of these people so #fuck it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#irondad fic idea #iron dad and spider son #irondad #spiderson #mj gets to sketch flash's face regardless and it is the highlight of her evening #her final high school masterpiece

honestly my only take on "is arknights slowly losing the techwear aesthetic" is that it's not really losing the techwear aesthetic, it's just iterating the techwear with other aesthetics so that we don't get bored

#arknights #and there are of course operators who straight up ditch the techwear #but that's not new. mousse and gitano and specter and pramanix and eyja and shining all look more fantasy than tech #and that is part of what i find compelling about arknights' aesthetic #the fact that ebenholz can stand next to nearl and look like parts of the same world #that's why i like this game so much

Having my dentist say “you need root canals… in ALL of your teeth!” in the most Cartoon Mad Scientist way he could wasn’t something I expected, but something I’m glad I heard bc bro what

#for reference my teeth don’t have enamel #and they don’t know how but most of my teeth are decaying from the inside out? they seemed very confused on that part #I made disco ball earring and forgot to take them off when going to the dentist #he’s so unserious #and when he saw them he turned off all the lights except the overhead light thingy and moved it around and sang(?) horrible disco music #and sadly said ‘I want a disco ball on that ceiling… I’m working on that. /I/ think it would be cool. the office does not.’#then shined a light into my eyes and ‘yea yea yeah squint your eyes at me IM the evil one. uh huh. I’m just trying to see in your mouth-‘#‘-bc it is DARK in there. cave with mouth bones.’#having a gen-z dentist is halarious to me #the nurse tech is just as goofy and I love her for that #have you ever had water from the water floss thingy sprayed at you?? no???? well I have! I????#she also counted my teeth on the X-ray and announced to me ‘did you know you have an odd number of teeth? 27?? why do u have 27 teeth weirdo #I’m???#I was originally upset I had to switch dental offices #but now I love it here ngl #bc wtf is this unserious dentist team #/pos

Been thinking about a Modern!Babel AU centered around colleges aimed around Silicon Valley

Immigrant kids being funneled into CS because it’s the field where the money is (linguistics? Where’s the money in that? You want to starve?).

International students coming to America because all the Big Programming Languages and their documentation are in English, because translations of documentation is to err and to betray, because English is the programming lingua franca, because if you don’t know English then you’ll be “trailing edge.” Source

“As an American and native English-speaker myself, I have previously been reluctant to suggest this, lest it be taken as a sort of cultural imperialism. But several native speakers of other languages have urged me to point out that English is the working language of the hacker culture and the Internet, and that you will need to know it to function in the hacker community.” Source

So they come to America to improve their English because you have to be fluent to be taken seriously. Or maybe they’re born in America and can feel the rot of their native tongue as they grow up, even as they learn more and more programming languages.

Java, C++, Ruby, XML, Python, Swift, PHP, etc.

It’s funny, but programmers, even as they’ve decided on English as the one true language, they create more and more programming languages to suit their needs/problem solving efficiency:

Source

[ID: XKCD comic that is titled "How Standards Proliferate (See: A/C chargers, character encodings, instant messaging, etc.)" It reads,

Situation: There are 14 competing standards. Cueball (stick figure): 14?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use cases. Ponytail (other stick figure): Yeah! Soon: Situation: There are 15 competing standards.

End ID]

(transcript taken from the ExplainXKCD wiki)

And of course, the students from countries on the Indian subcontinent are acutely aware of the unbalanced nature of the work they do, the way they’re expected to do export IT work, despite the digital divide in India, Bengal, Pakistan, etc. Especially since it’s a sign of being well-educated (wealthy) to speak English fluently thanks to the history of British Imperialism on the subcontinent.

Chinese IT students sink or swim thanks Mandarin monolinguism making it difficult to learn English. Americans programmers struggle not to link choppy English with choppy code, even while being monolingual themselves!

Not to mention the heavy sexism in the IT field! Female programmers taking on nicknames on emails and resumes to pretend to be men, so they’ll be taken seriously. Despite the history of women like Ada Lovelace being foundational to computers.

And of course we gotta bring up the ethics of AI, how it’s a march towards the inevitable that only Luddites would oppose. Despite the millions who’d lose their jobs once implemented into the workplace.

Commercial transportation sector lost to self-driving cars.

Digital artists lost to DALL-E.

Manufacturers automated.

But can’t they tell that progress is inevitable? That this is the future and to try to stop it is foolish?

As Anand Giridharadas put it in Winners Take All:

“In [Silicon] Valley, prediction has become a popular way of fighting for a particular future while claiming merely to be describing what has yet to occur”

Elon Musk is a genius. Bill Gates is so charitable. Bezos is customer obsessed, and they’re the future, don’t you see? Infinite growth forever and ever.

Tower of Babel? Valley of Silicon.

Unfortunately I suck at STEM, and I’m an uncultured Asian American, so I don’t know programming languages well, nor do I know enough about other cultures to do Ramy, Victoire, Robin, or Letty justice. Just the bare bones to see the structure of this AU and put it out in the world to see if anybody would like to play with it or add on.

#babel or the necessity of violence #babel #babel an arcane history #babel rf kuang #my thoughts #infinite growth is the silver #or maybe crypto as silver lol #Silicon Valley is babel #tech progress is our version of the inevitable empire #okay now this is the part in my notes where I ramble #Silicon Valley shined so bright but I feel like we’re reaching the point where it’s bloating everything #not everything can be solved by programming #AHEM NFTs are a nonsense solution made by tech bros to scam money under the illusion of useful technology #bc we want that infinite growth baby #I don’t hate AI but I do think the way it’s being implemented right now is unethical #and that said unethical-ness is being buried under the idea of ‘pragmatism’ or ‘progress’#the way a certain type STEM major considers feelings to be ‘irrational’ and therefore to be ignored #honestly that gives me repressed Robin vibes #I don’t actually think there’s anything wrong with there necessarily being a lingua franca for STEM fields #I get that it’s useful for international communication #but also it’s like a colonialist elephant in the room that could be explored through creative liberties

Ok I know now that this sort of this would be awful and we hate that these guys do this.

But look at Jibo! I'd have been more excited about Alexa if she was like him.

I know the ad is not what he'd be like. But that's one of the most comforting robot voices I've ever heard and it did its job. I want him, I trust this little guy even though I really shouldn't.

I wish tv would give more robots voices like this. He's like a little buddy! Remember when we were excited about robot assistants and talked about it making our lives better? He's from a more hopeful time.

He's so cute, and I love him. I want to hold him in my arms and show him the world.

I'm a sentimental gal. I'd fall for it hook line and sinker. I know he'd be a bad thing but look at him! At least it would be cute. I already have an Alexa in my room and kitchen. I already have record devices in my house. Might as well have something that pretends to be your friend.

He's so cute. It's like a portal core in your house. That's what his voice reminds me of. I want him.

He's so little.

#shine post #i miss when tech made us excited instead of sad and worried about our jobs #i miss when ai was an exciting idea we dreamed about and would use to make robots that loved and not art stealing and plagerizing programs #robot lover #object sentience #objectum #robot buddy #i want him #hes so cute #robotics #robot boy #jibo #im sappy

Since when can AI understand extended metaphor?

#weirdly well made AI #I typically stay away from AI bc you never know if they source material ethnically..#but the shine of new tech won over #besides I LOVE to have an argument and this is a no stakes way to test out my philosophical positions!#I used to study ethics and this reminded me so much of aruging with kids in my class haha!

TUMBLR OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED

in all of the *waves hand vaguely* everything last year i never got to show y'all my new PC

so presenting Guinevere, my beautiful perfect daughter:

it was so cute my dad went out and picked her up while i was having my surgery and he got her all set up so she was ready when i was home recovering

i still haven't fixed the cable management but she is my favoritest child and i love her and she plays the sims beautifully

#chocolate life #chocolate buys things #pc setup #the name is a joke i have with myself #years ago i started giving all my tech devices names after knights of the round table #do not ask me why i could not tell you #my laptop is lancelot #and i took one look at this beautiful shining white lady and knew #she must be guinevere #the amount of RGB in this case is almost absurd tbh
