why are you like.. trying to force yourself to stop liking dunes and feeling bad that you still like them? they're a good band it's ok there's nothing wrong with liking a band. enjoy what you enjoy don't make yourself feel guilty about it. it's not like they're evil or murderers or something. it's ok ♥

i do agree, you're completely right! it's just my cognitive rigidity (i'm autistic) getting in the way of everything i intend to enjoy lmao but i'm trying to ponder these questions a little better with some help as well... but thanks so much for the message, it really means a lot and it truly made me feel better <3

hi! i’d like to give an update about this post. i won’t be working on this project anymore. i still hold a very special place in my heart for ls dunes, but i think that way too many things changed in the way i appreciate their work (and the reasons are in no way limited to the "AI art video" only). however, i won't delete this blog, since my main goal was to create an archive for the band for future posterity so, if it doesn’t get snagged by tumblr, this blog will be here forever for all the (remaining) dunes enjoyers out there. thanks so much to everyone who has supported this project and, i know i didn’t talk that much about myself during these five months, but if you’d like to keep in touch, just send me a message. wish you all (and the band) the very best. :)

hey, everyone. first of all, i'd like to thank all the support this archive's been receiving since day one. it's so rewarding and motivating to see something that was made with no intent of being an actual project that people would even care about getting so much support. i'm truly thankful for every single one of you and you all have my gratitude forever for believing in this project. but the thing is, the past events regarding the disastrous "AI art" video for old wounds truly disappointed me, not only as a STEM student who works in a research about how harmful AI can be to personal data if it's used recklessly and as a l.s. dunes fan, but also as a person who's truly appreciative and respectful of art and artists and understands how much REAL art can be underrated and disrespected. i love them wholeheartedly as people and as artists and i've been following their work for years, way before l.s. dunes, but everything they stated in their last two posts, especially in their last post, is the opposite of my views of ethics in technology, and i don't think i will change my mind on that matter. AI art is not real art, it's just a processed "copy" of someone else's artworks via stable diffusion, a deep learning model to generate images, and to train that model, you have to input REAL images (in this case, art pieces). tl;dr: "AI art" works through other REAL people's REAL art, regardless.

that being said, i'll give myself a break from this archive. i won't be posting anything related to the video, or anything about them, at all, starting today. this hiatus may last a week or two, or a month, i don't really know. it will be on a hiatus for an undetermined amount of time.

again, i'd like to say thank you SO MUCH to everyone who followed and/or interacted with this archive and i hope things better, 'cause i still love this band so much, but this whole thing is just really disappointing.

anyway, i'm hoping to see you all in the future really soon if things don't get even worse. thanks so much for reading. <3
