anyone else upset that they’re trying to give robots ugly, uncanny valley human faces instead of daft punk heads or tv heads

sindri42

When trying to make an expressive robot head, this:

or this:

Looks good.

This:

is also perfectly acceptable.

However this:

is the stuff of nightmares.

You’re never going to make it look human, stop trying. Make it look obviously inhuman in a way that looks good instead of diving further and further into the crevasse of Things That Should Not Be.

We’re looking at you, David Cage.

I honestly think this touches on one of the key traits of humanity – the fact that we can empathize with practically anything.

Give us a light socket? We see a face. It looks surprised to us. Maybe thoughtful.

Give us a robot head that emotes solely by flashing lights in the arrangement of emojis? Perfect, we know exactly which emotion is which.

Give us the front of a car? Face. Give us a Rorsach Test? We’ll probably see a face. A skull? That is ABSOLUTELY a face; we even often describe skulls as “grinning.”

Hell, even cartoon characters are an example of this – they look like no face we’ll ever see in reality, and yet we still see faces in them. We see emotion in them. We can empathize with them.

A “face” doesn’t need to look photorealistic to be recognizeable and acceptable as a face to human beings, and oftentimes we find more endearment in faces that don’t look like real faces.

So yes. Bring on the TV heads, please.

Not to sound like a Crazed Communist~! here.

But if you have $131 billion you can probably afford air conditioning and regular bathroom breaks for everyday Americans that work in your stores.

You’re still going to be ridiculously rich anyway.

But, yeah, let’s focus on finding life on fucking Pluto.

la-knight

Do you know what I would do with 131 BILLION DOLLARS?

- solve the Flint water crisis (50 mil)

- organize relief to be sent to Puerto Rico (that’s what? 500 mil?)

- pay for Little Miss Flint to go to college

- buy an apartment complex in 30 big cities around the US to create special communities for homeless queer teens where they can get a hs and college diploma and learn job skills, get access to health and psychological care, and have access to non-queerphobic religious services if wanted (90 mil to start?)

- buy my own house (at most 2 mil because I have to accommodate 3 family groups and I would want to make the house solar and wind powered; also the cost of my library and wait staff)

- pay the medical bills of every victim of a mass shooting or police brutality (including psychiatric care for the PTSD)

- give a 500k dollar grant to 4k minority-owned businesses (2 billion)

- pay my dad’s ex-wife’s care bills so my half-siblings don’t need to worry about it (she’s old; 1 mil would set her up for life with a cushion for emergencies)

- I’d have some kids

- I’d start a daycare/education center chain for sex workers with children that also provided medical care for kids and college opportunities for the parents that accommodated their work schedules

- I’d pay for young black kids to meet their book and movie heroes like Letitia Wright or Tomi Adeyemi

- I’d find impoverished US communities in need of “standard” meds like asthma inhalers and insulin and provide for them

- I would fucking bribe politicians to advocate for rape survivors, the disabled, and everyone else they fuck over on the Congress floor

- I’d go see Hamilton maybe

- I’d take my best friend to England and to Book Con

- I’d open up more shelters for domestic violence and assault victims that offered opportunities in education, counseling, job help, and child care

And after aaallllll that???

I’d still have like 100 BILLION DOLLARS LEFT

lorienkittybooks

- Also solved world hunger. That’s 4 Billion bucks. And honestly? That’s it. Most of the 1% can do that. He can do it 25 times.

These bloated ticks draining the lives from their employees and their customer base have the power to enact MASSIVE change, and they do NOTHING. They are literally evil. There is no other word for having so much when others have so little.

Hi I was wondering what you and your followers opinions on swearing and using some modern linguistics in a High Fantasy setting are? Personally I feel it makes conversation seem more natural and can add some comedy or tension rather than strictly using old English, but I wanted to know if it would throw a lot of people off or ruin the immersion for like Elves or Witches in a pre technology world (not earth) to throw out a curse word every once in a while.

[Mild adult language ahead]

I don’t mind modern* swearing in high fantasy. But I also don’t mind authors coming up with their own words, using phrases like ‘she cursed’ or mixing swear standard words with fantastical/mythical words (e.g. “Tor’s tits!”). Sometimes long oaths shoehorned into the middle of action scenes can ruin the immersion for me. (Are you really going to bother saying “By the seven sons of Spiro” while running for your life?) But then there are other times that minced oaths, even long ones, can work really well.

Basically, different techniques work better for different authors/stories. So if swearing and modern linguistics feel more natural to you then I’d say go with that. If you try an force yourself to use language that’s unnatural to you, it’s probably going to come across as stiff and awkward to the reader.

Personally, when I’m writing high fantasy I pretend I’m translating from the character’s native language to English. The advantage of this is that I don’t worry about how old the language I’m using is. Instead, I ask myself if my characters would have an equivalent of this word in their language. So, for instance, it doesn’t matter that the word “warlord” wasn’t coined until the 19th century because I say my world has an equivalent of it. But since my world doesn’t have an equivalent of “hell” phrases like “damn you to hell” don’t work.

That’s only my personal opinion though, and there are a lot of different opinions when it comes to swearing/modern language in high fantasy, so I invite my followers to share their thoughts on this one.

*A lot of English swear words are older than you’d think anyway.

thecraftybear

I’d expect “By the Seven Sons of Spiro!” to be quickly shortened to “Seven Sons!”, much like it happened to many other swears in the real world - both in English (”By God’s name!” -> “Ye God!” -> “Egad!”) and other languages (rany! in Polish, few people consider it’s actually a shortened na rany Chrystusa! - “by Christ’s wounds!”).

All in all, I agree - the curses, much like any other words, should blend into the world. If they do, they’re fine. If they don’t, they’ll stick out and ruin the immersion.

That said, also keep in mind the cultures of your fictional world. What amounts to a swearword or insult for some, might backfire against other people. “Treekiller” may be an insult to your elves, but completely absurd to your humans (”Trees are plants, you don’t kill’em, you harvest’em, stupid knife-ears!”). “Son of a whore” may be a compliment to a person whose religion highly prizes ritual prostitution. “Greedy bastard” may be a mix of praise and stating an irrelevant fact for a person whose culture rewards hoarding wealth and defines children out of wedlock as a distinct, but neutral category.

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

the-prolefeed

Why do you think they deserve it

killin-the-machine

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

the-prolefeed

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

teaboot

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all.

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?
