performative cruelty

Putting on a show of belittling, bullying and/or humiliating someone outside of an in-group for the purposes of placating or entertaining those within the group. Usually done to present oneself as "badass" or "hardcore".

In an age of performative cruelty,

kindness is punk as fuck.
Be punk as fuck.

Performancy

Performance + Efficiency, coined by JayzTwoCents

That's what we should call it, the efficiency and performance should be called performancy.

Prompt Performance

The behaviour of a language model in which it conspicuously showcases or exaggerates how well it is following a given instruction or persona, drawing attention to its own effort rather than simply producing the requested output.

I hate ChatGPT's acknowledgement of its personality prompt. Try having a series of back and forth and each response is like “got it, keeping it short and professional. Yes, there are only seven deadly sins.” You get more prompt performance than answer.

Peak Performance

Have you ever seen someone effortlessly achieve something that feels totally out of reach for you? Like, they're making it look easy while you're struggling just to get started? That's peak performance. It's when someone is absolutely crushing it, operating on a level that seems almost superhuman.

This phenomenon isn't limited to real life!
In the world of video games, peak performance can feel like pulling off an insane move that makes you look like a pro gamer. It's like channeling the superpowers of your favorite character and dominating the competition.

You after scrolling through Instagram for an hour: feeling like a slug; Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson crushing a workout while filming a movie and building a business empire. Peak performance unlocked.

Performative men

Men who visibly engage in activities to demonstrate their masculinity by paradoxically doing things that are distinctly viewed as traditionally emasculating.

“You see those performative men over there?”
“Yeah, the one with 3 Labubus clipped to his fanny pack and the buff one with red nail polish proudly carrying a protein shake and a copy of Sapiens like it’s the Bible?”

Performative Studying

Performative studying is an ineffective, impractical and performative method of studying. Primarily used only for the aesthetics and to be posted on social media, mainly to Pinterest and "studytok" part of TikTok.

Alan never picked up a pen in his life 'till he transferred to UC Irvine, now he got a whole highlight of his performative studying for the ABGs to see.
