i live to let you shine

[dysphoria-things]

is it a hot take to say that i think you need to understand why something is bad, not just that it simply is?

[dysphoria-things]

this is a part of the problem

[dysphoria-things]

you need to be able to explain why you shouldnt use ai rather than “oh well its obviously bad and you shouldnt use it or else youre a bad person” because that isn’t logic. “ai generates child porn based off of real children and whether or not it does is entirely up to how it is built and if pedophiles are able to find ways around those safeguards, because ai cannot in itself discern right from wrong” is a genuine criticism. “amazon tried to build a data center the size of tuson outside of tuson just to power their ai that would’ve increased the inability to stay alive outside in parts of arizona” is a genuine criticism. even “using generative ai teaches you not to learn how to do things yourself even when they’re difficult, devaluing necessary skills out of practice” is a genuine criticism when you look at the amount of people who think they are able of doing a difficult major when they couldnt write their own papers in high school.

but “ai is just bad because it’s bad” will convince no one and is a morally lazy position to take. about anything!

you need to know why reading someone’s diary is wrong if you want to learn about privacy and respect. you need to know why child sexual assault is wrong if you want to be able to help children form healthy age appropriate relationships. you need to know why capitalism is bad if you want to replace it with something else. you need actual concrete ideas and ideologies rather than “you should agree with me because i have the right vibe”

[mintstyxpro]

reworked one of my fiance's ocs, poppy! i'll be doing some layout art for their website as well this month. was just happy to be able to draw lol

[mintstyxpro]

all of my projects are on a back burner rn because of some family stuff happening, but i do plan on getting around to the gaster dating sim and my webcomic!! it just might take me a hot minute to get to

[mintstyxpro]

about 2k words into the gaster corestrings dating sim-- so far i have only two endings planned and its probably gonna stay that way. im trying to balance out the unsettling vibes that sort of naturally surround gaster and something tinged with a bit of sweetness in him lmao thanks for all the interest btw, i wasn't expecting so much attention on those posts!! ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

ok im feeling somethin like this for him. messy man, kinda disheveled. maybe he'll be a lil goopy in some sprites. of course these arent like the final sprites or anything, but i have about 1.5k written in the scenes for the dating sim and progress is being made!!!! still struggling with a title tho... i want it to be something relating to like, missed connections or something. idk we'll get there

[mintstyxpro]

working on how i want gaster to look for the corestrings dating sim im making... do i want him more clean or a lil bit disheveled??? i'm not sure yet lmao
