Now that I'm not half-asleep, I don't find many of them to be very creepy, and it's mostly because the drawings have that one style of art people use for creepy things that make them seem way more creepy than they would be without it, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Shuck was pretty creepy at the time IIRC, and they made an SCP off of it that is creepier, which has its own associated stories
EDIT: Obviously the wikipedia page makes it much less creepy than whichever source I originally found it at, but I had just a google search for it bookmarked so what you gonna do
EDIT2: Now that I remember better, it was mostly the SCP I was remembering, late night archive binges tend to do that to my memory

An interesting video that YouTube recommended me.
It doesn’t make me laugh, it doesn’t make me upset, I’d doesn’t make me sad, I’d doesn’t make me go WTF, it simply mentions an interesting perspective on capitalism and a Simpsons episode.

I feel like there is truth there but the presentation falls into an absolutist stance; reality is sadly more nuanced.  There are indeed systemic issues, but there are also individual issues.  The presentation gave the impression (perhaps unintended) that all the problems are systemic.

It came across a bit defeatist - I was hoping for something more of a call to action by the end.

I'd like to see a shop teacher with "T E A    C H E R".

You listen when the person missing a finger tells you not to mess around near power tools.

I’m thinking of making a story that is a history book of civilizations on another planet, non human civilizations

[Frumple]

Kay? Sci-fi alt history stuff has its niche. They're floating around.

I found an interesting YouTube series thst mentions what not to do when writing. It’s called Terrible Writing Advice

Also, I wonder if anyone made an AI that developed its own language when talking to another AI who assisted in their new language. Remember when Facebook accidentally did that? What if someone did thst, but added a human who would also talk as well, possibly learning the new AI language

I watched Animatrix recently and it made me wonder

What would an AI have to be able to do for us to consider it human enough to deserve the rights we have?

We argue over other humans deserving human rights. The AI would have to be rich, at least.

Impossibruuu!111!!! An AI doesn't have the right to hold property.

Have a conversation with us which manages to fool our stupid little social mammal brain that we're talking to a human.
Or possibly, assuming that we somehow manage to grow a mind in the intervening years, we could give them rights according to what would alleviate their suffering, using some kind of same and consistant definition of "suffering" as a thing we generally want to avoid letting happen to minds.

And of course, there's always the third option, where they use the missiles we gave them for the purpose of killing other humans to coerce us.
