The little turd that could

Full time retail worker who trains dogs and homesteads on the side, welcome! Currently own one absolutely amazing GSD named Tassie, a young new puppy named Hatchet, and still mourning the loss of Reese. I hope he's being as much of a bother wherever he is as he was to me. I trial in Rally and have dabbled in AKC Obedience, Scent work, and IGP, I'm hoping in the next little while I can actually afford to travel to trial in those sports.

Accidentally recorded this one second video instead of taking a picture this morning and managed to catch a smile <3

[cremsie]

Please be critical of what videos you see now. Even cute animal ones. Does the animal move kind of weirdly? Is the fur a little too smooth looking? Do all of the non dog animals make actions eerily similar to how a dog would do a trick, because that's what AI has the most visual training on replicating? Its movements a bit too quick and perfectly timed? Watch out. They're infecting collections of animal videos everywhere.

It is legitimately sickening.

[cremsie]

An example of what kind of a thing you need to look out for. This is not how a possum plays dead. This is how a DOG plays dead to make you laugh and get a treat. Because when you tell an AI to have it play dead its got thousands of dog trick videos to reference and very few possum ones in contrast. So its going to look like a dog. When a possum plays dead it actually looks.. yknow. Dead. It goes utterly limp and most of the time in my experience their mouth is open somewhat. They go utterly still, don't move at all. Even if you pick em up and nudge em around a bit they’ll usually be stiff as a board. There's videos you can find of people interacting with real possums when they’re playing dead and its incredibly different from the dog drop and roll we see here. It also almost immediately stops playing dead to wander away. Something a real possum most certainly wouldn't do. AI slop thrives off using these lower quality cam video styles to trick you. I've seen countless 'Security camera' footage of AI bullshit now and its got its tells but if you're not looking you can easily be deceived. Watch out. Do your part. Call it out. Make them ashamed. Pollution on the internet like this shouldnt be tolerated. Especially when its actively trying to lie to you. None of these have ever been labelled as AI because they're actively trying to sneak into your life.

Just found this and thought it was useful to know -- the vanishing point doesn't converge! (Although that may change in the near future.)

ma'am, I'm going to place you on a brief hold while I look for a reaction image

Checked on Tassie's breeder to see if they're still breeding gimmick colors (they are, they completely pivoted away from working lines a few months after I got Tassie and I am so disappointed) and saw that they have her sire listed for sale and I am TEMPTED but also-

This is a seven year old dog they imported at two. He has earned no new titles in any capacity since they've had him. They're marketing him as a personal protection dog. At seven years old. With no recent certifications. One of many reasons working line people get deservedly shit on.

steam repeatedly notifying you that a friend is booting up a game thats clearly not cooperating feels like ur sitting inside and someone outside keeps trying to rev up a lawnmower

Tragedy alignment chart. Feel free to use, but please reblog if you do.

[mikkeneko]

And of course the second part of the tragedy, which is: which quadrant did you think you were in vs. which one you were really in

I booted my old laptop to find a file and was once again dealt immediate psychic damage by my desktop wallpaper

I open this thing just infrequently enough that it catches me woefully off guard every single fucking time

[putnamspuppeteer]

OP do you still have the original image. Would you be willing to share it.

[spyglassrealms]

but of course.

[muttsandmustelidae]

“that was so cool, please never do it again” is a phrase i find myself saying to my dog far too often

[muttsandmustelidae]

tags for context, but it feels important to remind everyone that this dog still believes that a 4ft fence is impenetrable

It's FINALLY warm enough for Squonk to go outside so we've been taking him for short walks. Hopefully just one more week inside for him before he's finally got enough feathers to go out for good. Truly living up to the waterFOUL name.

Apologies to anyone ovulating, but I'm officially forklift certified now
