Hi. I'm Elysium, and I use it/its pronouns; technology related neopronouns are ok too. I'm aroace, demiplatonic, and my gender is simultaneously agender and pangender.

DNI: queerphobes, bigots, NSFW blogs. If any accounts under these categories interact they will be immediately blocked. Anyone asking for money will also be blocked.

BYF: I can be blunt or rude by accident; I swear randomly; I block freely if I become uncomfortable; I'm not typically very active.

Some fandoms I'm in are (but not limited to): Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, The Amazing Digital Circus, The Darly Boxman Show, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Arcane, Sanders Sides, Creepypasta, SCP, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., Neon Genesis Evangelion, Across The Spiderverse.

Things I'm interested in are psychology (specifically personality psychology and abnormal psychology), architecture, aesthetics, art, and queer history.

Tagging system:

#Enigma's Archive: Things I made that I'm saving for future reference

not to be overly political and dry, and also not to imply my stances on things have been exactly obscure by diaclaiming that, but recent events have revealed to a startling extent how much the average american's understanding of west asia is about on par with what one could absorb by having the intellectual curiosity of a human sea anemone

[toskarin]

the sheer number of opinions that can only be understood by tacking on "the person writing this believes iran is the same as iraq, both of which they cannot distinguish from afghanistan because they sleepwalked through the US War On Terror, and they also believe every Muslim Country is two cities in the middle of an enormous empty wasteland that exists only to be crossed by bandits, governed only by a single head of state who exerts power on his full lonesome" is actually madness inducing

[papayajuan2019]

youre weirdly obsessed with finding meaning

[apas-95]

what do you mean by this

[joy-haver]

So many things would be better if doctors could just say “yeah that is a real problem but there isn’t much we can do to treat it so our only real recommendations are other things that raise your general health level to compensate”

instead they just say “thats normal” or “oh theres nothing wrong with you”. Because in their mind “it wont kill you and i cant fix it” means its not worth mentioning.

Affirm the problem doc, it wont kill you. Knowing that something just isnt the kind of thing doctors treat will save your patients so much time, money, and stress, all of which will improve their health.

when I was being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I had one very nice doctor (in a sea of incompetent assholes).

she said that fibro was one of the worst things to be diagnosed with because it gives you horrible pain every day of your life and there's literally nothing you can do about it.

other diseases there are at least cures. there's steps you can take and you can fight against it.

fibro its different. Its basically like having an invisible giant panda that follows you around and occasionally kicks your ass.

and when you try to tell people about the panda they either dismiss it entirely or act like its not so bad to get an ass beating by a bear every few weeks simply because its a panda and not a grizzly.

I loved how honest this doctor was with me about this illness. It wasn't good news but it made me feel seen as a patient.

Anyone else getting some sort of character AI shit as every single one of their ads?

[distorted-digitality]

I get them continuously. I would advise reporting them as malicious whenever you see them. Boasting about getting children and teens "addicted to the app" and directing them to a likely insecure and copyright violating site or app is more than enough reason to label it as such.

[im-staying-calm-this-time]

Tbh I didn’t even realise you could interact with ads on here since they’re usually just nonsense 😅 I’ll try and remember that though, thank you! Oh yikes, I haven’t seen that one but that’s really fucked up

[distorted-digitality]

To report an ad, click on the three dots on the top right and choose "report ad". It will give a list, and you may click the most applicable reason for your report. You are welcome, and I agree.

All generative ai on Tumblr is spam and I will report it as such. If you want to create, do it yourself or don't waste your own time and everyone else's.

'kay, quick crash course on detecting Sora 2 vids. I'm not an expert, but these are what I look for.

There are an entire category of videos that you need to be suspicious of immediately at the current moment. Ring/security/dash cam videos. Especially funny/crazy ones. They're low quality as is, so they can get away with covering up some of the app's weakpoints. Also, Jake Paul. He's letting them use his face so he's the poster boy.

ADDENDUM: Also be wary of ragebait style videos. Usually a POC person proudly declaring some insane thing. Also I've seen at least one account pretending to be an insider in North Korea that's decidedly AI.

But other than "this seems way too crazy to actually happen", here's some things to look for.

Check the account. Usually they're very proud of their slop, so they'll have a pro-ai tell somewhere on the page, or more obvious videos.

Sora applies a moving watermark, and while that can be edited out, they're usually not good at it, so you'll see patchy sections.

And the biggest tell: Sora can't handle highly textured areas. Look at hair and trees or grass. Once you start to notice it, it'll become fairly obvious. Even along hard edges. I believe the term is "Sora noise." It's this warbling, almost nauseating shifting in the pattern. This is what those low res videos are hiding.

As far as animation, from the little I've seen, look for consistency issues. Mouths not syncing, weird motion, things not making logical sense/just popping in, and over reliance on super fast motion trying to hide the weaker points. I'm sure there's more, but I haven't seen as many Sora "animations" so I'm not as up to snuff on those.

I'd be cautious of the mainstream/popular fandoms especially.

EDIT: These things are always advancing. The biggest tool is to use your critical thinking to sus out if something is trying to trick you or not.

Hope that helps! And remember, the moment you think you can't be tricked, that's when it'll get you. (Also make sure it's actually AI before you call someone out publicly and embarrass yourself and ruin their life.)

EDIT 2: by a someone who asked I not use their username, and I'm going to put this under a cut because it's long

-Hey just a heads up that there are real people with 3 or 6 fingers, or even 2. People do have deformalities or mutations in real life. Be mindful when talking about "gross" or "weird" hands. Not that you can't point out this is a key to ai- it's just sad that something someone has may have to read how "gross" you find hand deformalities. Born with it or by illness/an accident. While not common, it is something real for some. Saying this as someone who knew someone with claw like hands, or someone i know who I see often has a hand with no upper palm just the lower half with a few fingers told me how these comments effect her but it can't be helped because it's how ai can be pointed out.-

A very good point. As someone with a disability in my hands that doesn't effect their appearance, this is a truly a good thing to clarify. It's also not even a clear tell anymore. Even in the past, I saw someone accusing an artist drawing Stanford of Gravity Falls of using AI because he had six fingers...because it's Ford. Who literally has six fingers. Even I only draw 4 fingered hands out of choice.

There's absolutely a way to point out AI hands without actually making folks with hand differences feel like shit.

[pocketsizedpanther]

Yall be careful!

[so-much-for-subtlety]

in 2015 we didn’t have AI psychosis so people had to make do by believing a dress was white and gold

[thickness-protection-program]

Because it was

[queer-as-city-folk]

Is the gold in the room with us right now?

[thatoneliquidbicricket]

yes. the dress is gold.

...

the dress has always been gold

r u saying this doesn't look white and gold to u???

...

[queer-as-city-folk]

what.

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

it's a white and gold dress in cool blue dim lighting w/ bright warm light behind it, making an optical illusion. we're not fucking doing this again

[im-mender]

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

oh god fucking damn it

[kaban-bang]

I know tumblr likes to exclusively make it about bloody hospitals but this is what Color Theory is about

[hometoursandotherstuff]

[quasi-normalcy]

wow if only everyone warned you about AI hallucination.

[bogleech]

Companies think an ai assistant is looking at their data for them and giving them the facts when they're literally doing the same thing they do to generate fiction. They're taking that data and giving you a *similar sounding story within that genre.*

btw it's anosmia awareness day! be aware of: anosmic people

[PT: btw it's anosmia awareness day! be aware of: anosmic people /End PT]

I made some userboxes for the occasion

[ID: Four red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user is anosmic. They can't smell." The second says, "This user can't smell." The third says, "This user is anosmic." The fourth says, "This user has anosmia." /End ID]

And some for other smell disorders too, under the cut!

Hyposmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user has a reduced sense of smell." The second says, "This user is hyposmic." The third says, "This user has hyposmia." /End ID]

Dysosmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user has a distorted sense of smell." The second says, "This user is dysosmic." The third says, "This user has dysosmia." /End ID]

Parosmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user smells normally pleasant odors as unpleasant ones instead." The second says, "This user is parosmic." The third says, "This user has parosmia." /End ID]

Phantosmia

[ID: Four red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user smells things that aren't there." The second says, "This user has olfactory hallucinations." The third says, "This user is phantosmic." The fourth says, "This user has phantosmia." /End ID]

Hyperosmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user is sensitive to smell." The second says, "This user is hyperosmic." The third says, "This user has hyperosmia." /End ID]

I have had a story idea and two characters I like very much sitting in various site's drafts for about a year and a half but have never had the energy or specific enough ideas to begin. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to remedy the situation?

i love this tweet so much i think about it weekly, i structure my life around it its so crazy how much one tweet changed the way i view neopronouns for the better

[niuniente]

Also, anyone using "it" pronoun, you are just being a Finnish person. Our gender pronoun is it (= se). You are it (se), I am it (se), everything is it (se). This is because our ancestors did not differentiate themselves from nature but viewed everything as equal. The tree is as much conscious as I am, thus the tree and I are both gendered "it". Even gods and goddesses are it.

Finnish it (se) covers everything and everyone. Nothing and no one can exists outside this one gender pronoun. Even the existence itself is "it" (se).
