I do not "only engage in media with queer characters." I enjoy the media, and then I actively LOOK for queer characters. If I don't find one, I LOOK HARDER. If I can't find queer characters, I HEADCANON them as queer. You complain about your favorite media not having queer representation? Then I will FIND queer representation. And if I can't find it, then I will FORCE queer representation.

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

and there was even less talk when openai did the exact same thing more recently

So for those who are, very understandably uninitiated on this story:

On 23 October last year (2024) the New York Times published an interview with former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji who worked on organising and gathering data for OpenAI until 2022 when he begun thinking about the morality of it. He eventually came to the conclusion that what OpenAI is doing blatantly violates copyright law and decided to leave the company altogether in August 2024.

After he came out with this accusation he was set to appear in court to testify against OpenAI’s data-gathering practices, something which had the potential of being a complete disaster for the company and the generative AI industry as a whole.

That was until 26 November, just days before he was due to appear in court, when he suddenly and mysteriously was found dead inside his own apartment. Investigators concluded that the death was self-inflicted, something which his family has disputed.

There was also “sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like someone hit him in the bathroom based on blood spots”, and his apartment showed signs of having been ransacked for evidence: “The pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up.”.

Overall it feels pretty clear-cut what happened, that is to say that OpenAI had him killed because he was a legitimate threat to their business, indicating that they are fully aware that the way they’re gathering data is completely illegal.

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

Have you redsigned Orca yet? She's always been an interesting character to me, despite the very small window of insight we have on her.

I have not! I’m also a big Orcs fan - she’s up there with Dune and Osprey in the list of characters who I think would massively benefit from a winglet, and have very interesting (very vague) story! Do I think she would’ve been a better Queen than Coral? No, but I feel like there’s no real wrong answer to this question because her character is just so vague. The way I interpret it, Orca seemed like a seriously paranoid princess. If she went through all the trouble of eliminating future daughters, who’s to say what else she would do? Anyways, I’ve seen some very good takes on Orca’s hypothetical rule and would love to hear differing opinions!

it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?
