When I bought a game for like $1.99 and gave the protagonist an iconic name. You know I'm having fun.
https://www.tumblr.com/communities/club-snk?source=share
Guess who made a community again? This time, it's for SNK. No, not that Attack On Titan SNK. The actual SNK itself. You know, the one behind the King Of Fighters, the Neo Geo games, and are the guys behind Terry Bogard? Well, if you are invested in that, I recommend checking out this community and expressing and indulging in your love for the games.
After all, The Future Is Now.
Experience Sonic gaming through the years with the Sonic the Hedgehog Legacy Bundle, which features a wide selection of Sonic games covering
Man.
It seems to get Sonic The Fighters from the lost media void. You have to be willing to shell out a ton of money.
Now that's just cold, Sega.
2500 likes!
Over 60 classic Sega games are being delisted from digital stores, including Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe and Jet Set Radio.
If anyone hasn't gotten the word. Here it is.
Sega is enacting its Origins strategy. Except now, it's happening to all their catalogs of their classic games.
If you want their infamous games. Better grab them now before it's too late.
A community where all things related to both G.I. Joe and Transformers thrive. No matter the continuity or interests.
After creating and waiting. My community for all G.I. Joe and Transformers fans are finally up and running. If anyone is interested in joining, you can hop in and look around. If you like it, I'd say joy and expand. We do need to spread the word after all.
Other than that. Yo Joe And Roll Out!!
how c.ai works and why it's unethical
Okay, since the AI discourse is happening again, I want to make this very clear, because a few weeks ago I had to explain to a (well meaning) person in the community how AI works. I'm going to be addressing people who are maybe younger or aren't familiar with the latest type of "AI", not people who purposely devalue the work of creatives and/or are shills.
The name "Artificial Intelligence" is a bit misleading when it comes to things like AI chatbots. When you think of AI, you think of a robot, and you might think that by making a chatbot you're simply programming a robot to talk about something you want them to talk about, and it's similar to an rp partner. But with current technology, that's not how AI works. For a breakdown on how AI is programmed, CGP grey made a great video about this several years ago (he updated the title and thumbnail recently)
I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you watch this because CGP Grey is good at explaining, but the tl;dr for this post is this: bots are made with a metric shit-ton of data. In C.AI's case, the data is writing. Stolen writing, usually scraped fanfiction.
How do we know chatbots are stealing from fanfiction writers? It knows what omegaverse is [SOURCE] (it's a Wired article, put it in incognito mode if it won't let you read it), and when a Reddit user asked a chatbot to write a story about "Steve", it automatically wrote about characters named "Bucky" and "Tony" [SOURCE].
I also said this in the tags of a previous reblog, but when you're talking to C.AI bots, it's also taking your writing and using it in its algorithm: which seems fine until you realize 1. They're using your work uncredited 2. It's not staying private, they're using your work to make their service better, a service they're trying to make money off of.
"But Bucca," you might say. "Human writers work like that too. We read books and other fanfictions and that's how we come up with material for roleplay or fanfiction."
Well, what's the difference between plagiarism and original writing? The answer is that plagiarism is taking what someone else has made and simply editing it or mixing it up to look original. You didn't do any thinking yourself. C.AI doesn't "think" because it's not a brain, it takes all the fanfiction it was taught on, mixes it up with whatever topic you've given it, and generates a response like in old-timey mysteries where somebody cuts a bunch of letters out of magazines and pastes them together to write a letter.
(And might I remind you, people can't monetize their fanfiction the way C.AI is trying to monetize itself. Authors are very lax about fanfiction nowadays: we've come a long way since the Anne Rice days of terror. But this issue is cropping back up again with BookTok complaining that they can't pay someone else for bound copies of fanfiction. Don't do that either.)
Bottom line, here are the problems with using things like C.AI:
It is using material it doesn't have permission to use and doesn't credit anybody. Not only is it ethically wrong, but AI is already beginning to contend with copyright issues.
C.AI sucks at its job anyway. It's not good at basic story structure like building tension, and can't even remember things you've told it. I've also seen many instances of bots saying triggering or disgusting things that deeply upset the user. You don't get that with properly trigger tagged fanworks.
Your work and your time put into the app can be taken away from you at any moment and used to make money for someone else. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people who use AI panic about accidentally deleting a bot that they spent hours conversing with. Your time and effort is so much more stable and well-preserved if you wrote a fanfiction or roleplayed with someone and saved the chatlogs. The company that owns and runs C.AI can not only use whatever you've written as they see fit, they can take your shit away on a whim, either on purpose or by accident due to the nature of the Internet.
DON'T USE C.AI, OR AT THE VERY BARE MINIMUM DO NOT DO THE AI'S WORK FOR IT BY STEALING OTHER PEOPLES' WORK TO PUT INTO IT. Writing fanfiction is a communal labor of love. We share it with each other for free for the love of the original work and ideas we share. Not only can AI not replicate this, but it shouldn't.
(also, this goes without saying, but this entire post also applies to ai art)
This is an amazing critique, not only because it addresses both sides, it also explains the cons of C.AI. and also the misuse of AI these days.
I can relate to this as I try and fit in here, but I just can't. Not only due to how competitive Character AI is, but also because I try to explain some semblance of what you are saying, but I often get ignored.
This reality does show a lot that we face these days while also not being afraid to show that not everything is not it appears to be on the surface.
Animation errors at its finest.
yo dude about the Barefoot kotone bot on character ai is gone i was wondering if u can send me the info of all the bot like definition and greet so i can maybe reupload it under your permission
That I can allow, just make sure you credit me when given the chance.
Oh, and you may be allowed to change certain things in the bot. Mainly so that you can eliminate spelling errors or add more details.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention for Character Ai has been doing this a lot recently and it's been getting annoying.
Just let me DM you the info, and you got yourself the re-upload.
I've been noticing a lot of randos have been swarming me with donation messages and a bunch of "Hi I'm _____, please help me donate to _____ to help me with (insert event) because blah, blah, blah." In my question box.
I'm just going to say this as a form of honesty, and I'm just saying this so people remember.... DO NOT SEND ME THESE SORTS OF THINGS UNDER THE GUISE OF A QUESTION!!
If you do that, I will report and block you. The reason why is because I will suspect you of acts of spamming and scamming as I am paranoid to stuff like that, and I am known for taking precautions. So please, only post real questions in the question box. That's the purpose of it.
I know some will say, "You're acting too harsh. Maybe they really want your donation and help." If so, then they are acting unprofessional by promoting themselves as an ask. Plus, they're in the wrong place since I'm not interested in their offers.
Overall, I will not trust questions that turn out to be promotions for donations or some sort of babble. Anyone who doesn't listen, sorry, but I can't trust you.
Other than that, to everyone else, I hope you are all having a nice day and stay safe.
It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Hooray for my first Tumblr anniversary.
Hey, Mr. Blue here. I just want to ask you a question about your character.ai account. I simply want to know where one of your characters is (the websites don't show every character).
Hello there, Mr. Blue, Red here. Thank you very much for answering this question, as I've been noticeably getting this from my Discord allies.
Ever since the old site is getting the decommission treatment, the new site's search bar has not displayed any bots due to bias involving popularity in numbers.
Here is my gift for @meryizza for this year's @precuresecretexchange
You mentioned that one of your favorite Cures was Parfait, and gave me an idea to draw something fantastical like. I came up with this drawing of her with her pegasus in a field of flowers in an enchanted night with fireflies around. I hope you like it, it was definitely fun to draw.
I give this gift for @meryizza a 10/10
A congratulations are in order for how wonderful it truly is.
Normal people when they exercise.
my wife is so pretty ❤️❤️
i think her hands are soft hehe ❤️
Seems you like Foxy.
Don't give up that spark, keep it alive.
i don't like the format changes for the tumblr website, even if they are "subtle"
like when you tag someone ( @redsanagi-99 for example), the tag turns blue out of nowhere now instead of having a nice comforting underline
and i can't even describe how dirty they did the comments but i HATE it oh my fuck
I feel for you.
I, too, hate stuff like that.
