I wish to commit an act that will in future be referred to by its date

Something I miss from earlier eras of the creative side of the internet was things just being unabashedly low-budget. Just all unashamedly amateur, unprofessional, ‘I don’t own a good camera but I have a story to tell you’, ‘I can’t afford a good mic but I have a song to sing for you,’ ‘I don’t have any kind of background in editing or lighting and I only just picked up this guitar last Tuesday but here’s an entire musical me and my friends wrote about our favourite book, we filmed it on a potato and put it up on YouTube in ten minute segments because we thought it was pretty funny.’

Remember when that one story came out about the guy who used a bot with Chat GPT to auto generate responses on a dating app, which ended up with him getting multiple dates scheduled with multiple women, all of whom were unaware that they had never actually been speaking to a person? And how everyone understood that what the man did was horribly mean, dishonest, and inappropriate? And that those women were being lied to?

That’s how I feel whenever people post ai “art” without disclosing its AI. It’s deeply shady, unkind, and dishonest.

Like yes, ai “art” often can’t be distinguished from human art (especially if it’s about generic popular subjects that give the machine tons of material to steal from.) In the same way, Chat GPT often can’t be distinguished from human writing, especially if it’s generic common conversations like a first introduction.

But it matters whether something is created by a human, even if you can’t tell the difference between the final products. How something was created matters! Whether there was human intent and meaning behind it matters! Even if you can’t tell the difference between the final products, the ethics of how something was created matters!!!

A man on a dating app typing “how are you?” In order to ask how you are…..is very different from a bot meaninglessly generating the letters “how are you?” Because it’s statistically the most probable combination of symbols to use. Even if the sentence is the same, the way those sentences came to be matters!! And it will affect how you respond!

And the same is true for visual art.

I hate AI but If someone’s going to play with these tools, fine, no one can stop them. But i think you also owe it to people you’re sharing the generated images with to tell them whether they’re interacting with the creation of a human being or with the algorithmically generated product of a machine.

Otherwise you’re wasting people’s time and care. It means the people you lied to will waste time exchanging polite conversation with a mindless bot they think is human, or praise the art style and brushstrokes of an image that wasn’t created by a person. And that’s just,,,,sad. You can replace art with mindless bots or whatever but at the very least, people deserve to know whether they’re actually interacting with other people.

The way i'm so filled with hate these days should be studied

[buddiebitch]

confused why some people seem to think that intense fandom “ship wars” (or whatever you want to call it) are going to “bully” writers into changing the show

these people write/produce/direct shows for a living, like i’m pretty sure the people who worked on glee and American Horror Story can handle some fans being upset with them

[cute-girls-from-vns-anime-manga]

hey DORK hope u had a good day

I didnt, work went really poorly for me today.

In spite of that ever since I got home I've submerged myself into all the things that I draw comfort and joy from just trying to keep a positive mind set and de-stress from my mistakes and habitual tendencies to over think and worry myself to death.

[riessene]

Oye, Idk your stance on AI generated stuff, but the 'art' from OP @/talonabraxas is AI generated. Thought I should give a headsup!

gah i thought it was photographs.. to the bin it goes

Reading some of the comments under Nyaa torrents reminds me of part of the reason why I've never bothered learning how to upload my own torrent files there

I can skip over it in the episode because it's a musical and the cringe is built into it as camp, so if you're not willing to let go of some of the preconceptions of what "good" media is you're going to FUCKING HATE any musical, not just Hazbin Hotel.

But dear God. Velvette jumping in and saying she wouldn't swipe right on any of these millionaires because they're not trending and are holding back in an unknown situation - this isn't other fashion designers at the table. These are supposed to be people with a total of MILLIONS of souls under their collective thumbs. You're saying a group of overlords who LITERALLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PERMANENTLY OWN ANOTHER SOUL and force it to do labor or otherwise threaten it with destruction don't hold up to a trio of arguably the same type of person? Because they aren't trending or trying to remain relevant in the public eye? Like - just by sheer numbers, the original group with Carmilla in it has the Vs beat by numbers. She then says she's the backbone of the Vs, which, sure, that's who you send to your meeting with the people you don't respect? If anything, Vox is more personable and manipulative if it was about merit. This is like a Bitcoin miner showing up to a "how do we hide our laundering better so the IRS doesn't catch us" meeting with the Walton Family and Arms Dealer Tony Stark and telling them "we could just kill the agents who show up at the door", which - yeah. You could. But there would be easily foreseen consequences. We know this, Carmilla knows it, she figures the other overlords know (and absolutely would pursue the course of action that could fuck up everything she has going on) too. Maybe they want the reasonable doubt that comes with not knowing what killed the angel because they'd rather just sit back and deal with the loss instead of fight and risk losing badly as well. But VELVETTE should know that. Velvette should know all of this. The arrogance makes sense, but she is equating real investment power influence with social media and broadcast influence when they aren't the same at all. Again: Bitcoin Miner vs. old money. YouTuber vs. FCC approved broadcast media. Twitter vs. a newspaper. I have no clue how old she's supposed to be, but to be this off-base when speaking to people who could fuck you over as massively as any of the people in that meeting, she'd have to be like twenty.

I realized that a song I always liked by my favorite band is now Favorite Song Material. The first version, anyways.

Because the opening sound effects (which play at various points through the song) sound a bit like a Misdreavus call. That creepy, high-pitched, screechy, echoing warble?

Yeah.

(If the video won't work for you: It's the Origin version of "Even in Death" by Evanescence. Even the song's lyrics are a bit appropriate for something ghostly......)

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 222/?

John Cale - Dying on the Vine (1985)

"Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter?

The troops, the celebrations in the sun.

The authorities say my papers are all in order

And if I wasn't such a coward

I would run.

I'll see you when all the shooting's over;

Meet me on the other side of town.

Yes, you can bring all your friends along for protection,

It's always nice to have them hanging around.

I was thinking about my mother,

I was thinking about what's mine.

I was living my life like a Hollywood,

But I was dying, dying on the vine."

I love the fact that Yunho stayed true to his artistry throughout the years. Sadly the same can’t be said for younger male idols like Taemin or Kai, in my opinion, who strayed so far away from what we saw of them doing in their groups. And it got me thinking; how much of it is them and how much of it is SM’s marketing strategy? How can their group self and solo self be soooo different? For me they’re not selling their solo self well enough to convince me that that them you know what I am? It feels almost like they’re acting (yes, every performer acts a little bit) but with Kai and Taemin it looks like they’re both playing a role…
