"That's the sentence you'd put under the photo for someone else's benefit, years later, at a dinner table, when somebody asked "so what happened." This sentence performs the understanding of human experience without actually convincing me it knows what its talking about #hwa4 #understandingeffect

I wonder what was the purpose of the like minute long break after the customs section. The instrumental is nice though. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes times the combination of music/delivery of the poem/my confusion would make my brain so uncomfortbale that it didn't want to keep listening. That tension, though, was by far the most interesting part of this whole experiment to me! Although I know we weren't supposed to

"each human is issued exactly one bottle, and drinking from another human's
bottle is the most severe crime your species recognizes,"

in this sentence chat gpt understands, but it is actually wrong understanding. This is a classic display of Ontological Slippage.

Slowed it to 1.5x, it was a little too fast in 2x. But speeding it up even just at 1.25x helps a ton with hearing the words how it's meant to be heard. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I would define ontological slippage as the gradual change between what was defined as real in one state at one time and its change into another state at another time. Basically a merging/change to a particular state and our impression of it itself as "real." The related #hwa4 #wherethingsslip

I have a new perspective on media after this. It shows that communication doesn't always depend on understanding every word. Performance, sound, and movement can all say something on their own. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes would just make me more confused because it didn't make logical sense with what I was expecting/reading off the page! I felt a lot of this friction/tension in my head specifically. Sometimes, the music would make it subside and I would feel happy/relaxed/serene, while other

At some point I stopped trying to understand every word and just started listening to how it sounded. Weirdly that made it easier to enjoy bc I wasnt treating it like something I had to figure out anymore. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

Just tried to close my eyes and listen, like how it said in the beginning, and honestly for me it is nearly impossible to make out what she is saying without reading the words along with it. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

i cannot escape true crime and mysteries and based on my somewhat odd and very fictional SME1 interview i may be leaning into some of that energy. The persona that was developed in SME1 was defiently mysterious and I am sure it will present that way in future SMEs. #hwa4 #genrepressure

#hwa4 #whatlisteningmakes there were additional syllabus in the beginning/middle/end of what the English "translation" was supposed to be, which threw me off as a listener. My brain would try to rationalize each of these differences by connecting them with another word/syllable in my brain, but that

I thought translation meant getting the same idea from one language into another but this feels like the opposite. The “mistake” or difference between them is literally what creates the interesting part. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

Things still have meaning even if they don't make sense at first. There are times when the way something sounds or makes us feel says more than words could. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I had to put the video in 2x, it was just too slow. I wonder how it would've sounded had she just been talking instead of singing. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I noticed that once the music changed, I started hearing the same words differently even though the words themselves didnt change. It made me realize the sound around language can totally change the mood and meaning I give to it. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

"ontological slippage" is when you melt between reality and the little corner of your brain where time stops. Things start to blur and become entirely different. This shows up when talking about GPT and how it plays a role in slippage now. #hwa4 #wherethingsslip

There are funny examples of this in English. The one I am even confused by is hot dogs. Through thousand of years this could become people thinking we ate actual dogs hot for food. A sad thought. A funny ritual would be them eating the hot dogs today as a mimic of hot dogs. #hwa4 #lostandremade

This is making me realize how much I depend on meaning when I listen to someone. When I dont fully know what the sounds are supposed to mean I start noticing rhythm, tone and repetition way more. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I feel trapped in the resume genre. Everything has to be short, formal, and impressive, with no room for who I actually am. In my future SMEs, I want to press on that by mixing my resume with something personal, like a story.
