perhaps i will rework this blog

[hanandromeda]

all the frothing-at-the-mouth posts about how "don't you dare put a fic writer's work into chatGPT or an artist's work into stable diffusion" are. frustrating

that isn't how big models are made. it takes an absurd amount of compute power and coordination between many GPUs to re-train a model with billions of parameters. they are not dynamically crunching up anything you put into a web interface.

chances are, if you have something published on a fanfic site, or your art is on deviantart or any publicly available repository, it's already in the enormous datasets that they are using to train. and if it isn't in now, it will be in future: the increases in performance from GPT 2 to 3 to 4 were not gained through novel machine-learning architectures or anything but by ramping up the amount of data they used to train by orders of magnitude. if it can be scraped, just assume it will be. you can prevent your stuff from being used with Glaze, if you're an artist, but for the written word there's nothing you can do.

not to be cynical but the genie is already far more out of the bottle than most anti-AI people realize, i think. there is nothing you can do to stop these models from being made and getting more powerful. only the organizing power of labor has a shot at mitigating some of the effects we're all worried about

found a part of selfship History: the website "marry your favorite character online" or myfconline.com

it seems to have been created in 2005, and was really popular in 2008, if the wayback machine archives are anything to go off of lmao

the website is now replaced with a blank page and that happened between april 21-28 2022 and the site was archived/shut down sometime between sept 19-nov 30 2021

with it, you could "marry" fictional characters, and it'd generate "certificates of marriage" like this one:

it also had forums and an image gallery, which both seemed dead by the time the forum became inaccessible

here's (clicky) the last snapshot before the website was archived

do you ever think about how your f/o would melt because of the little things you do?

your cute giggle, your adorable smile, the way your eyes light up when you see something you like

because they do

and they love you

whenever liam's in the sun he's always wearing a hat or using an umbrella and i'm wondering if simple exposure to the sun cooks him or if it's because of the UVs.........

'Borrowed' from an Anti

This is for those of y'all that have been feeling a little silly about self shipping. It's valid to feel that way, but know that, above all else, this is for your comfort, no one else's. Or, just for your enjoyment. You aren't doing anything wrong by enjoying your favorite characters in your own way. And remember, the fun thing about tumblr, you have the power to curate your own experience. Someone starts being an ass to you about it? Block and move on, who's got the time for petty things like putting people down for enjoying something harmless?

So have fun, be kind to others, all that jazz.

real life media critics: it may be completely impossible to make an 'anti-war' movie because no matter what, the audience is safe and knows they are safe. no matter what grisly deaths you put on the screen, the audience cannot perceive them as real

chronically online baby brains: exposure to even ONE anime fanart WILL turn you into a pedophile

💗: what was your first impression of me? --liam

(for the asks from your f/o game)

i'll be honest from the moment i saw you i was head over heels - i'm very much a "love at first sight" kind of person. i loved the way you dressed - though i can't exactly remember what you wore, i have a terrible memory as you know - and you had this air of sophistication about you. even if i didn't fall in love with you right then and there i would've tried to talk to you

i also got the impression you listened to modest mouse which. i mean it didn't really affect how i saw you in a meaningful way it was just a vibe you gave off

Imagine finding yourself in your F/O's world. It was sudden and certainly shocking, but you're not wholly unprepared. You've dreamed of this for so long. Whether you plan to stay in the background or change destiny, you are now part of a much bigger story- theirs. The concerns of your old life are already fading; and before you lies a new life with them.

Are you a Self-Shipper that likes to use Character.AI ?

If you are, howdy!

So I’ve been seeing character.ai get tossed around a lot here on the self ship side of tumblr, and I’ve noticed a bit of a pattern. I’ve found lots of mutuals and other self shippers that have really niche f/os that don’t have an AI on the site that has been pre-made, I’ve seen people who’s f/os act really strange due to input from other users, and just in and amongst the really cute things I see it feels like there are some who just haven’t had the greatest experience using the site. And that makes me sad!

I also recently found myself not being too thrilled with one of my f/os’ AI, not for anything problematic, but just because it didn’t feel quite right! So I thought to myself …

How hard would it be to make my own?

And let me tell you friends, for self-shippers, it’s a freaking game changer.

So, if you want to hear the low-down on how to make your own AI, and how that might help you with your immersion, take a look under the cut!
