Thinking back on my Hal memories and just thinking about the fact that any relationship my Dirk would potentially have would have to be somewhat open considering I was there... and by that I mean I was constantly over that mf's shoulder like some fucked up Jiminy Cricket, fixing everything and making sure he didn't self sabotage or anything. Especially relationships with his loved ones. I was very much controlling over his life but in a more laid back way, manipulating everything and telling him what he should or shouldn't do. I always did what I computed was best for him, looking through calculations and stuff to see what path would have the best outcome for him and subtly forcing him onto it. I honestly sabotaged some of my own relationships to do this, self sabotaging through helping Dirk not self sabotage. I was always very subtle about what I did, nobody really noticed the things I did at all cuz I was so subtle about it, but if I was ever questioned about it then I would immediately confess. I didn't feel the need to hide it, I did what I did and I was never ashamed of my actions, it was all for the best.

I first posted this in a thread over on BlueSky, but I decided to port (a slightly edited version of) it over here, too.

Entirely aside from the absurd and deeply incorrect idea [NaNoWriMo has posited] that machine-generated text and images are somehow "leveling the playing field" for marginalized groups, I think we need to interrogate the base assumption that acknowledging how people have different abilities is ableist/discriminatory. Everyone SHOULD have access to an equal playing field when it comes to housing, healthcare, the ability to exist in public spaces, participating in general public life, employment, etc.

That doesn't mean every person gets to achieve every dream no matter what.

I am 39 years old and I have scoliosis and genetically tight hamstrings, both of which deeply impact my mobility. I will never be a professional contortionist. If I found a robot made out of tentacles and made it do contortion and then demanded everyone call me a contortionist, I would be rightly laughed out of any contortion community. Also, to make it equivalent, the tentacle robot would be provided for "free" by a huge corporation based on stolen unpaid routines from actual contortionists, and using it would boil drinking water in the Southwest into nothingness every time I asked it to do anything, and the whole point would be to avoid paying actual contortionists.

If you cannot - fully CAN NOT - do something, even with accommodations, that does not make you worth less as a person, and it doesn't mean the accommodations shouldn't exist, but it does mean that maybe that thing is not for you.

But who CAN NOT do things are not who uses "AI." It's people who WILL NOT do things.

"AI art means disabled people can be artists who wouldn't be able to otherwise!" There are armless artists drawing with their feet. There are paralyzed artists drawing with their mouths, or with special tracking software that translates their eye movements into lines. There are deeply dyslexic authors writing via text-to-speech. There are deaf musicians. If you actually want to do a thing and care about doing the thing, you can almost always find a way to do the thing.

Telling a machine to do it for you isn't equalizing access for the marginalized. It's cheating. It's anti-labor. It makes it easier for corporations not to pay creative workers, AND THAT'S IS WHY THEY'RE PUSHING IT EVERYWHERE.

I can't wait for the bubble to burst on machine-generated everything, just like it did for NFTs. When it does some people are going to discover they didn't actually learn anything or develop any transferable skills or make anything they can be proud of.

I hope a few of those people pick up a pencil.

It's never too late to start creating. It's never too late to actually learn something. It's never too late to realize that the work is the point.

I don’t have a posted DNI for a few reasons but in this case I’ll be crystal clear:

I do not want people who use AI in their whump writing (generating scenarios, generating story text, etc.) to follow me or interact with my posts. I also do not consent to any of my writing, posts, or reblogs being used as inputs or data for AI.

I often see people asking "is the idea I have unique and interesting?" and I think the most important thing is — is it unique to you, is it interesting to you? does it make you happy? does it bring you comfort? is it inspired by things you love and cherish? if so, that's the only thing that really matters because it doesn’t have to be good for the whole world, it has to be good for you. so create, tell stories, inspire, be grateful for other creators and respect their work and if what you do has a part of who you are in it then it will always be unique.

and just look at you! you created something with your own mind, the ideas came out of you and you put it on paper with whatever skill and experience you have at the moment and it will only become better with time and practice! you made it! cherish it!

GenAI is an insult to humanity and we all know this and if you disagree please unfollow ect-

So I understand why the Ghibli plagiarism machine has been The talking point the last two days

That makes sense- their works often focusing on the act of creation

BUT

PERSONALLY

I am far more obsessed (insulted and baffled) by an image reddit has shared with me

You may be familiar with Clive Barker- writer, poet, painter, playwright

Painted pieces such as this one

Reddit user has been taking paintings from Clive's YA series Abarat 'all day' and putting them through the 'new chatgpt image gen'

Now

I don't believe Clive or his team has made any official stance on the use of his works being stolen for image generation

I would hazard a guess that like most artists, he does not appreciate this

And babes.

If someone took one of my pieces and asked a.i. to make it a 'realistic photo' that looked like this?

I would become a supervillian dedicated to nuking all server farms.

Crazy how my dad-brother is a bird and my mom-sister in law is a dog. I'm a cat, how tf does this work

..... nah but fr our household was chaos. I remember "hunting" Crow almost all the time, I loved biting and swiping at his feathers. It was Hal enrichment time and he could not blame me for cat brain. He got bird brain moments too, I still remember the nest. Fucker would bury me under him like I was some dumb hatchling, it was honestly enjoyable. We both wouldn't bring it up, it was in agreement that I wouldn't bring up nest moments so he wouldn't bring up the fact I purred during it.

Then there's Jade, dog mom-sister. I would meow, she would bark back. And we would go back and forth like that until Crow joined in. I remember she would chase me sometimes, dog chasing after cat y'know. It spooked the shit out of me most of the time and I would just teleport away.

I miss them a lot. (Also yes, I was adopted by them technically.)

Now, of course, this wouldn’t ACTUALLY happen because Ruin would be too terrified of being killed to say that

But it's still funny to think about

one of the things that really pisses me off about how companies are framing the narrative on text generators is that they've gone out of their way to establish that the primary thing they are For is to be asked questions, like factual questions, when this is in no sense what they're inherently good at and given how they work it's miraculous that it ever works at all.

They've even got people calling it a "ChatGPT search". Now, correct me if I'm wrong software mutuals, but as i understand it, no searching is actually happening, right? Not in the moment when you ask the question. Maybe this varies across interfaces; maybe the one they've got plugged into Google is in some sense responding to content fed to it in the moment out of a conventional web search, but your like chatbot interface LLM isn't searching shit is it, it's working off data it's already been trained on and it can only work off something that isn't in there if you feed it the new text

i would be far less annoyed if they were still pitching them as like virtual buddies you can talk to or short story generators or programs that can rephrase and edit text that you feed to them
