Tumblr is like a modern day marriage between social networking and blogging. A "microblog" if you will. And the thing about blogging is that you can say pretty much whatever's on your mind.
Unlike many other platforms where posts are short, polished, and carefully curated, Tumblr often veers off the beaten path. Here, rabbit holes reign supreme and strange tangents take unexpected twists and turns of their own. One minute, you're minding your own business and posting about yet another random, adulting problem you encountered last Tuesday. The next, it's become a deep discussion about the rising cost of living and how Kylie Jenner's private jet is contributing to climate change.
Tumblr has more than 130 million active users a month and it's easy to get lost in the collective chaos. Enter Curated Tumblr: a micro-version of the microblog, where people share the best posts they've spotted on the platform. Bored Panda has put together a list of our personal favorites. They have nothing in common, except that they're all a bunch of clumsy, clever and wild thoughts that at some point popped into someone's head, and ended up online.

On AI And College
Jaya 1 day ago
Because writing a paper is about showing that YOU understand the material. Letting AI write it is like letting your neighbour write it. It only shows that AI/neighbour understands it and that they should get an A, not you.

And the reality is that AI learns from human input on the internet. And much of that input was created by idiots.

The act of writing the paper is the important part, not the paper itself. Research, analysis, organization, expressing ideas using evidence, forming and supporting a thesis, writing, and editing. It's not about the product, its about demonstrating that you can make the product.

In the US I think our current school system had a part in creating this problem. The "No Child Left Behind" initiative had good intentions but ended up often forcing teachers to "teach to the test" rather than explore subjects more deeply. When kids grow up thinking the test is the important part, that is a problem.

5 yrs retired as a HS teacher, so I didn't have to face this. As a mental exercise, I try to figure out how I'd handle this. I'd strongly support students using it for tutoring. Since I taught math and science, grading would be on in-class testing only. Homework research would work if it was used for classroom discussion and graded as participation. Term papers might be OK for class presentation, but not graded for completeness, structure, etc, only used as participated/not participated. I have no idea if this would work, and fully expect I'd have to modify it.

If you can accept, with total faith, that a computer (or anything outside yourself) has the right answer every time, you are useless.

No person or thing has the right answer every time. Inside or outside yourself.

Even if it is practical, useful, fast: every time you use AI to do stuff, you miss an opportunity to learn and make connections and pathways in you brain. You deprive yourself of the acquisition of skills. But a college degree should be evidence of exactly that. That is the problem of AI use in college and in general.

Because all students really use AI for is outsourcing their thinking. We've already eliminated most of the memorization involved in schooling. Are we really planning to eliminate the thinking as well? What the hell is left?
Riley Quinn 10 hours ago
Maybe this is simply my age speaking, but I see no difference between using AI, having another person write your work, or plain old cheating. Nothing is learned even though the course is passed.

AI wasn't a thing when I was in college/grad school. We had to go out and research things ourselves.

Yup, on to the next level. In all seriousness, though, in my world, if someone gives me something that bears a positive significance to them, regardless of whether it aligns with my persuasions or not, I feel grateful and thank them. It's their way of showing kindness, gratitude and care. That's what counts, not the item itself. It's of significance to them, as should their act be to you.

Too Far
Cat Palmer 19 hours ago
I live on the Isle of Wight (a little island off the south coast of England) and people over here have a ridiculously distorted sense of distance. A couple of weeks ago, I travelled to a place about 40 minutes' drive away, and the people I was visiting were amazed and impressed by my strength and determination in making such an epic journey. Jokes were made about needing my passport. I was, and remain, bewildered.

How I wish the US had a public transit system. Sure, some of the bigger cities have respectable mass transit, but it pales in comparison to Europe and other countries.
