“ai art” is such a dumb name bc artificial intelligence makes me think of like. hal 9000 when all ai art and programs are are like. boring prompt driven theft machines. it’s not an intelligence it’s an algorithm lol. what’s “intelligent” about scraping other peoples artwork off the internet and smashing together some Frankenstein “artwork” that can’t even utilize the pattern seeking monkey brain us humans intuitively use, same with writing and proofreading etc

i'm gonna need ya'll to put the AI art down because it's rotting your fucking brains

what do you mean you'll only watch the adaptation of your favorite book "if it's AI"? what do you mean "only AI art can do justice to the characters"? never mind that every piece of character "art" AI spits out all looks like the same version of a photoshopped plastic mannequin. never mind that it relies on actual, stolen art to even exist. never mind that big studios are already trying to find every possible avenue to replace talented, dedicated human workers with AI

it terrifies me how willing some of you are to yield our crafts, our humanity, our passions in favor of worshipping at the altar of the black hole of vapid soullessness that is AI. all because the actors they cast don't live up to the insane, arbitrary standards you made up for your fictional boyfriends

I beg ya'll to think critically. I beg you to consider the very real implications of the things you say. because they exist and they aren't fucking pretty.

Wait for you to know that the hornsent npc was involved in the gruesome shaman/jars genocide , that information about him ( the description of his mask) shocked me tbh ...

Okay, first I didn't mind this ask because I am yet to have him drop his set in the game and there is time for everything, but today I woke up to someone else screaming this information at me so fdshfdsh I decided to check the descriptions and the character!

I have noticed that his mask looks like that of the guys whose asses I kicked in Bonny Village, just wasn't investigating. But here are the other things from his equipment:

His legs and arm piece are also exclusive to him! So, this is something I've concluded about it

1) All pieces of his clothes are exclusive to him, except for the mask, whereas Potentates enemies wear ONLY this mask! I'd say that the guy is wearing this mask for it's functionality: "to ward off thoughts of impurity, doubt, temptations, and other wickedness". So, him and Potentates are wearing it as sort of charm, although (and most likely) for different reasons! Hornsent guy wears it so nothing distracts him from revenge! Like... it is just a headwear they have in their culture, just that Potentates """need""" it the most.

2) He is not using their trademark cleaver weapon! Moreover, the description of his trademark weapon, Falx, makes it look like he only stepped on the path of murder to begin with specifically for revenge, rather than having already been wielding a weapon and doing a bit of rebranding!

3) He mentions Belurat and eating the soup from there long ago! (you can get scorpion soup from Grandam by talking to her while wearing Divine Beast's mask and then give it to him) His starting position is also in Gravesite Plains next to the archway that leads you there, which is very distant from Bonny Village. Bonny is a short walk away from the Shadow Keep while the Hornsent seems to be journeying to it, all the while he tracks Miquella's crosses (beginning of course from Gravesite Plains)

4) Bonny Village is just weirdly intact and doesn't show clear signs of Messmer's invasion. It more so resembles the abandoned villages in the Lands Between. The Hornsent, however, lost his mother, wife and child to the invaders.

5) From timeline standpoint, there likely were no more shamans left to butcher by the moment Messmer turned in and his family was burnt!

fjhhfdhds I mean headcanon what you like, I just personally can't agree less and this is my reasoning! Also:

I am taking my sweet time ok??????

Most haunting moment of a design conference I went to last week was when the ai enthusiast was talking about the future potential usages of ai. "In the future we might go to a restaurant with friends where we need to split the bill, and you can tell the ai to generate an app that does that for you" HELLO????????????? LEARN TO DIVIDE????????????????????

Come hang out with me and my snake Sakura on feeding day while we work on training her to follow and touch her target!

Before I got my girls I saw a lot of videos just showing off people holding their snakes or the snakes just staring back from inside their enclosure- but I wanted to see what it was like to just hang out with a pet snake and interact with them. I've been thinking of posting more videos sharing time I spend with my girls, and maybe it will be helpful for others with hognoses (or thinking of getting one wondering what they are like), or help scratch that itch for folks who want a pet snake but can't right now.

It's pretty fun teaching her and seeing how well she does- she understands what I'm asking her now, at this point the rewards only increase her confidence. Honestly, I bet if I made her a little obstacle course I could probably teach her to go through it- my biggest question is if SHE would enjoy the challenge and gain any benefit from it. Maybe. She does enjoy climbing just for the sake of climbing, and digging to dig. People enjoy the challenge of sports. Perhaps I could come up with an obstacle course that she would have a challenge and when she completes the challenge she is proud of herself and is rewarded- she did do a little celebratory dance when she challenged herself to climb a box before. Once a challenge is effortless, I could add another segment challenging her in a new way and see if she can figure it out.

While it would be a nice way to demonstrate to others how smart snakes really can be, and they aren't just lumps with nothing going on upstairs, if I do this I need to put Sakura's enjoyment and enrichment as the highest priority. And I think she does get bored - it could be a fun game for us!

If you like the idea or want to see more videos like this, let me know!

“Oh wow that does sound pretty crazy”

“.. and all I did was cheat on her for years”

“Oh.”
