every time someone realizes they dont have to pick between being a boy or a girl an angel gets its wings btw. and also extremely loud cheering can be heard in the distance from me specifically
btw if you've ever wondered why i make posts like this and get really obnoxious about nonbinary positivity. this is why
and for all of yall that are still figuring it out or aren't getting the support you deserve:
@this-is-nonbinary-joy
Queer joy detected!
sonce the sports are happening big rn where i live i made a handy chart of all the phrases i use to communicate with my loved ones during these trying times. i thought others might find it useful too
ive discovered you can have whole conversations with people using just these phrases and none will be any the wiser that you dont even know what sport it is theyre talking about
me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish
people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk
result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish
conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.
Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.
This. Please. Whether I'm avoiding spoilers for a show or people promoting eating disorders, if I block a tag it means I don't want to see it. Spell your fucking tags properly.
!!!!!!!
DO NOT CENSOR TAGS
AND SURE AS FUCK DON'T CENSOR WARNING LISTS/WARNING TAGS
WE SAY SHIT HERE SIR
They say ooooh be a good boy for daddy and you'll get a reward. But then the reward is just gay sex. This is bullshit. I wanted a skateboard
Then they say if you're a bad boy daddy will punish you. But what's the punishment? More gay sex! You can't escape it. This whole damn place is in the pocket of Big Sex
how you can tell the post is really bad
tumblr version of "you sir have won the internet. have an updoot"
man come on
it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
when you were a child, the worm named LANGUAGE ate its way into your brain and cursed you to understand the letters and the syllables and the sense of speech, doomed you to commas and clauses and passive voice, took the meat of you and twisted it with words. this is why you’re able to post about maids and berries and flasks and catgirls and whatnot, so it’s pretty great. make sure to thank the worm named LANGUAGE the next time you see it!
imagine, if you will, that it's 2005. and google is around and a useful and usable tool for things. and it's also like, not perfect, because nothing is, and obviously has a lot of inbuilt problems. but imagine everyone was like "google is bad because it doesn't have a Soul." and "actually google is killing the library." and "google is something only uncreative bastards use." and then imagine you are someone who understands that google is like, a basically neutral tool, and not only that, but one which will become so mundane and banal as to basically fade into the fabric of social reality, because it is a useful technology that got integrated into how we interface with the world. this is how I feel about everybody culture warring about AI. I don't think you have a real argument for your qualms, I think you're a liberal making idealist errors and a not even particularly useful idiot.
like there are issues to have with the technology as there are with any technology but people don't view "AI" as a technology, they view it as some kind of horrific devil homunculus golem without any understanding of how it functions or its social or political externalities. the reality is that it is here to stay and will become as integrated with your future as the internet is to you now. you are simply behind the curve.
History has proven time and time again that once a new technology is invented there is no undoing or destroying it. Every attempt to halt the progress of a new and useful technology has failed miserably and it's clear that the only way to deal with it is to accept its existence as a foundation upon which to educate people in its use so that we can collectively develop more efficient, productive, environmentally friendly, and safe ways of using it.
The ability of the masses to be able to do this is obviously limited by the economic and political systems under which we live and capitalists will of course chase profits over environmental and social safety whenever possible, but that means the solution is not to destroy and shame AI into non-existence (which, historically, we have no reason to believe will actually work), and instead to dismantle capitalism, a much more feasible goal that is historically more likely to succeed than eliminating machine learning and generation altogether.
had a little "duh" moment yesterday. the problem with chatgpt-4.0 (the evilest one) and, indeed, the problems with all ais is not the fact of what they do, but rather, how they do it. that is to say, chatgpt-4.0 was designed deliberately, via post-training, for certain metrics such as "user retention". that's where the evil lay - with the openai, not the gun they made, per se.
developing audio software. i fix a bug that's been bothering me for a while. doing so i also lay down important infrastructure for later features. i feel accomplished with my tangible progress. ctrl-f "todo". 146 hits
i need to keep going until i at least have something to show off on here. so far it makes music. i can add tracks and place notes and edit the instruments and play the songs. everything i need for filters is in place. parameter automation and audio samples not in yet but already prototyped in some older project so not too daunting. i've put so much work into this already and it is so cool but it is so not showable yet
due to being browser-based it will not have VST support :))) i also took a glance into VST bindings for a possible Electron build and while that's technically feasible it's looking to be much beyond what my patience can afford. my program does however let you add whatever instrument and effect plugins you want if you can code it in javascript. i'd also like to look into adding support for sf2 soundfonts when i have the time

every time i think about overwatch's orientalism i go a lil more insane. 5 japanese characters all of which are tied to a very stereotypical mythologized version of japan. they're some of the few explicitly magical characters. all of them are part of clans and lineages and shit. every map that takes place in japan is an orientalist fairy land with idyllic old looking villages with shrines and gates and cobblestone and zero utility poles in sight. this game is so incredibly racist
what's interesting to me is that no other asian characters get this treatment. mei is a climate scientist or something. diva is a gamer. lifeweaver and symmetra are scientist. something about japan specifically makes the overwatch devs get a boner for the image of a permanently ancient magical other, japanese characters are simply not allowed to be contemporary
time to break this out again
Have you REALLY lost your scissors if you aren't walking around making scissor motions with your fingers in an attempt to lure them back out?
spellcasting with somatic compenents
this is a beautiful addition

you have to preface things like this with disclaimers that you are not pro-ai for people incapable of critical thinking but: its so awesome how much people post about AI having no soul and lacking humanity and merely mimicking some sort of innate Humanness while failing to address or contend with the fact that a lot of people are seemingly making work indistinguishable from the statistical average spit up by a computer.
ppl could ABSOLUTELY churn out bland slop that's trying very hard to scan as though it's legit way before AI showed up, and i stopped trying to tell if things were AI generated and started just...thinking more about whatever i was looking at. exploring citations rather than just looking at them, thinking about what's being said and if disparate thoughts connect to each other, trying to engage with the substance of the work. if there was little to no substance, then i could move on, and i'm sure a significant chunk of that was AI, but more importantly, it wasn't worth my time.
i genuinely and unironically hope that this is an unintended but positive outcome in a post-AI world. that people abandon attempts to determine if something is AI or not and are instead forced to think "what is there to like about this and why do i like it?"
Wow thanks for the ingot man let me just inspect the quality real quick
Dude come on
