ive had the same message copy, pasted, and sent to me via anon 5x in the last 24hrs. I keep blocking them but they keep sending it

so no. i don't think this is a genuine person asking for help. i think it is most likely scammers fishing using other people's tragedy as bait.

even if it was an actual person in need- my next 3 paychecks are spoken for. i have absolutely 0 disposable income to share.

i know posting this will not stop the spam but i hope you are all blocking these kinds of messages and not being emotional manipulated into providing support/funding

[t00thpasteface]

i don't really think there's anything seriously wrong with tagwhoring if it's a lot of tags that are already really broad and busy, because who's going to notice i guess, tragedy of the commons, whatever, BUT i just got a photo on my for you tab that was pretty unmistakably a shot of one of those mediterranean coastal cities with the all-white buildings overlooking a bright blue ocean and a clear sky, and it was tagged as both pacific northwest and saskatchewan. girl no it is not

Is AI fr gonna steal our jobs?

Disclaimer: This post is mostly speculative and meant to encourage discussion and different perspectives on the topic.

Some time ago, I along with many others thought that AI was mostly going to aid in all the task centered, administrative, repetitive jobs. Cashiers, factory workers, call center workers, all the jobs that would benefit from automation were being taken over by AI.

When the ghibli trend came around, it was a guttural shock to many artists.

What used to generate questionable and bad looking art has now developed and is transitioning to generating high quality pieces, videos, music, animation and what not. In a matter of mere months. [AI tools example: midjourney, DALL-E, ChatGPT]

Art is not simply something pretty to look at. It is the accumulation of experiences, emotions and essense of humans. Art is their unique expression and the lens with which they see the world.

This blog is not an argument against the use of AI for art, but a call to understand what it really means.

Did most people see it coming when AI mimicked it with precision?

How long before it starts mimicking creativity, intuition, emotion and depth, all of what we thought was deeply and uniquely human?

"AI works by learning from lots of information, recognizing patterns, and using that knowledge to make decisions or do tasks like a human would." - Chatgpt.

Some time ago, the dominant argument was that AI might be able copy the strokes of a painting, the words of a novel. But it cannot hold the hands of another human and tell them all was well, it cannot feel and experience the real world like us, it cannot connect with humans and it cant innovate and envision new solutions.

If you still believe this, I urge you to go to chatgpt right now and open up to it like it was your friend. It will provide consolidation and advice tailored so well to your individual behaviours that it might feel better than talking to your bestfriend.

What is a deep neurological, experience based and emotional reaction to us is simply just analysis and application of data and patterns to AI. And the difference? Not easily distinguishable to the average human.

As long as the end result is not compromised, it doesnt matter to client and employers whether the process was human or not. Efficiency is often prioritized above substance. And now even substance is being mimicked.

Currently, the prominent discussion online is that in order to improve your job security, we need to master AI tools. Instead of fighting for stability(which is nothing but an illusion now) we need to ride the waves of the new age flooding towards us, and work with Ai instead of fighting against the change.

But the paradox is, the more we use AI the quicker it will learn from us, the quicker it will reduce the need for human guidance and supervision, and the quicker it will replace us.

Times are moving fast. We need everyone to be aware of the rate at which the world is changing and the things that are going on beneath the surface. If we simply take information at face value and avoid research, give it a few years or even months of time, and noone will know what hit us.

"Use of generative AI increased from 33% in 2023 to 71% in 2024. Use of AI by business function for the latest data varied from 36% in IT to 12% in manufacturing. Use of gen AI by business function for the latest data varied from 42% in marketing and sales to 5% in manufacturing."-Mckinsey, Mar 12, 2025.

By 2030, 14% of employees will have been forced to change their career because of- AI-McKinsey.

Since 2000, automation has resulted in 1.7 million manufacturing jobs being lost -BuiltIn

There is a radical change taking momentum right now. It's gonna be humans vs AI starting from the job aspect of the world.

Its not a matter of which jobs and skills are AI proof but which ones is AI likely to take over last.

What I predict personally, is that soon the world leaders are going to have to make a transformative choice.

This can either lead to a world where humans can be provided with money and resources instead of working to earn, as AI generates profit, and we can lay back and enjoy the things we love doing.

Or the other option is that we are going to have to live by scraps as small elite groups take over all the resources and tech.

Dystopia or utopia? The line is blurred.

Thankfully, for now, the choice is in human hands.

pb in the suit from thin yellow line makes me want to watch veep and further radicalize myself (ironic with bonnies values lol). well id do anything with it that doesnt make me directly remember it was from fucking seinfeld but i have my urges without the regards. i think i just moreso identify with the fans of the show who recognize the 80s circlejerk-acclaimed tv references than other western cartoon enjoyers, for better or worse

How are you ari? It's been a while since we've heard from ya!

[AUTOMATED MESSAGE] Hiya! Ari here, sorry I can't reply at the moment, no doubt I'm workin' hard on a new song!

The Big Weekend - Part 1

Part 1 of my 'big weekend' of project development has gone really well so far. Lots of new things added, and progress has been made on my big list of new-things-to-add.

Let's first show everything in a brief video overview:

Whoa! Environments!

I did end up doing some extra work outside of my intended weekend scope, mostly because I wanted a brief distraction from coding. To that end I finally added the first parts of my 'asteroid' environment that your factory is placed in. This will be improved over time, I'm sure, but now serves to make the factory feel a lot more grounded in the very place you're supposed to be!

I also re-added the factory walls, which are now correctly done programmatically - rather than being hand-placed. These scale up with the size of the factory floor, so they're more or less 'done'.

Packager

You can now drop the packager into your factory, which is a necessary first step to exporting your goods from the facility.

Routing items through here will parcel them up ready for transport. You just have to snake them off to your Exporter machine.

Ready for packaging!

Exporter

This machine must be placed over one of the new export nodes. This restricts the number of exporters you can use in any given factory (like the import nodes), and you'll likely have to merge a number of packager belts together to bundle up lots of orders in later stages.

The exporter has space for up to 6 stacks of up to 99 items. A lack of space will result in packages backing up on the import belt, so make sure you don't fill it up with junk!

The build ghost of the exporter next to one of the new Export nodes. These are limited, so you'll have to design your factory around them!

What's next?

Here's my big list of things-to-do, with my completed updates marked off:

Main objectives view

Packager machine

Exporter machine

Research tree

Technology upgrades

Money / credits system

Structure descriptions (QoL)

Audio refinements (QoL)

Main menu screens

New pipes subsytem

Not bad progress so far! I'm not sure what I'm going to tackle tomorrow, though I have a sneaking suspicion I'll want to do the research and tech trees, since they are the next 'big' things to nail down. It will also force me to finally implement a system to prevent access to building items that you haven't yet unlocked, which is a crucial part of progression.

Anyway, that's all I have for this evening. If you reached this point, thank you kindly for your time! And with any luck I'll see you again tomorrow for another progress update.

Have a great evening, wherever you are, and I'll see you again soon! 😊
