#explode... like... dynamite...

[naomiknight-17]

Okay I've been afraid to say it because I don't want a certain ARMY coming after me but

The latest Cookie Run Kingdom update is driving me insane

I am sure the members of that popular band are very nice and cool and stuff but I don't know the first damn thing about them and I don't enjoy their music (it's fine if you do! Just not my style!) and now in order to play the game that I play every day I have to interact with cookie-fied versions of them regularly

There's a big billboard looming over my precious Kingdom showing the band. There's purple and pink balloons floating across my screen at certain intervals getting in the way of my play

There's a whole new game mode with a rhythm game that I suck at because I don't know any of the songs but it's necessary to complete the event missions and I'm an obsessive completionist so I am driven to try to do them anyway

I am learning the band members' names and the words to their songs against my will. I am starting to form opinions on which songs are better than others.

I don't like this new update it is upsetting me

i think also a huge part of why artists majorly refuse machine-learning (bc that’s what it is, i refuse to call it ai bc it’s inaccurate and gives tech bros too much credit) is that the people currently championing and developing those tools actively want it to replace artists. They loudly and proudly hate the arts and want every creative professional put out of work. They want every creative HOBBYIST to give up. I have seen machine-learning art generators call us artoids (like ‘femoids’ incels or unhealthily online misogynists use to refer to women. To give you the idea of the kind of hate-fueled superiority we’re dealing with) and circle-jerk to the idea of art no longer being a career and no one being able to ask for commissions anymore.

Machine-learning tools are currently a symbol of people who see creativity and art as an enemy, a boogeyman to be slain. They are designed accordingly - stealing human work to create the data, designing it so that people can generate ‘sketches’ or ‘doodles’ to deceive the layman that it was hand-drawn, using real-world likenesses without consent, etc. When tech bros get tired of weaponizing machine-learning because they think we need to get ‘real jobs’ or that furry porn artists charge too much for comms and need to be stopped, it will probably be a lot easier for artists to embrace it as it’ll be a lot easier to develop ethical tools. On top of making development easier, it could become a great tool to make the visual arts accessible for people that have disabilities affecting drawing ability. It could be a wonderful technology.

But as it stands we’re not there yet.

WHATTTT.... ARTOIDS 💀.............................. that is THE most cringe fucking word ever im gonna start calling them fucking inceloids or something

Arent these the people who also have hentai addictions and collect all sorts of images of anime women breasting boobily? Do they think before AI that those images just popped up from the aether? They should also get real jobs that arent living in their moms basements and being a hateful little bitch

It's kind of hilarious that they think machine learning models will be the the end of art though. As if art hasnt been a core human function from prehistoric age and as if it hasnt survived hundreds of purges, demonizations, and attempts to erase certain styles and movements and people. We're going to prevail no matter what and they can die mad about it

Soap tells Ghost that he loves fishing.

So Ghost being the good friend that he is (he's so in love it makes him look stupid) takes Soap fishing to a place he knows.

He's, however, not ready for Soap style of fishing

Wich involve a lot of... dynamite

Thoughts about Bean and Hocke-Wulf as a ship?

I mean both have been show too be the wild cards and use bombs.

Oh that's an interesting ship I haven't heard of!

Well I guess is okay! Two destructive lil guys causing chaos! That's great! XD

I'm actually surprised they haven't met yet!

I guess Archie kinda counts but they didn't talk much when their teams were together for that one mission.

i love the 18th/19th century use of the word "exploded" to mean "debunked" cause theyll say stuff in fankystine like "cornelius agrippa's theories were exploded long ago!" and i just imagine a bunch of scientists going up to cornelius agrippa and saying hey man. your theories are wrong and stupid and they suck. and then they kill him with bombs and guns and dynamite and fire and
