Does everything a [ ] says get censored automatically?

text: [ “Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5000 years.” ]

[rudjedet]

And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.

AI companies are heavily invested in making themselves relevant. They want people to believe they can't do the things they have done unaided before and to make them become reliant on the AI models, so the AI models' existence is artificially justified.

A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.

I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

One of the coolest concepts I never ever would've thought of, and now can't stop thinking about 🐉🦠

[talltarakona]

So I made a comic! (It’s 21 pages, check the reblogs)

Feeling like this rn for real

[code31-onthedancefloor]

to be fair to khan public toilet stalls in train stations do feel like the end of the world. like geographically

[smellslikegeraniums]

Technically, interisolary train stations are the end of the world, so he isn't wrong

jamrock hobo iceberg theory video = disco elysium fandom's 9/11

[parasolemn]

ok I guess I have to explain. the problem is that the video lends credence to theories like "harry is the next innocence" and "magpies are real" despite the fact they can easily be disproven just by reading Sacred and Terrible Air once and also muck up, like... a whole range of themes in the setting and purposeful choices for the worldbuilding.

he very easily could have explained why they are not canon but instead he chose to say they are "too convenient to throw away". and now b/c of it there are quite a few people talking about these things again despite how long some people in the fandom have been retracing the same topics over and over explaining why it isn't real, but now the people spreading it are parroting the "too convenient" thing in response as well.

in short anti-harry-innocencers and anti-magpiers have been set back quite a bit bc of it and it's exhausting basically lol

[parasolemn]

MAGPIES AS IN THE CONCEPT OF SPECIAL PEOPLE WHO STEAL INFORMATION FROM THE FUTURE THUS CAUSING THE PALE TO EXPAND. MAGPIES THE ANIMAL ARE PROBABLY REAL IN ELYSIUM

[revacholianpizzaagenda]

The funky birds can stay, this is about the mindbogglingly reactionary theory of the pale!

[palin-tropos]

@flaxygostaa Magpies are real in Elysium and I believe what you are talking about w the mindless automaton thing is the book illustrating what a “protein mass” is, which we hear about in the game as what happens to a mind that is overexposed to and basically destroyed by the Pale, so the fact it happens to animals too means they do have minds. You don’t meet a lot of animals in the game but you do have a long conversation with the phasmid which might just be your overactive imagination but the insect is assumed to have a simple, not sapient, but definitely sentient mind. So idk what you are thinking of exactly.

[flaxygostaa]

Makes sense. I see @ revacholianpizzaagenda mentioning a quote with animals-magpies in op reblogs. I do believe the phasmid dialog is not imaginary, and if other cryptids like my fav teraton exist, they are definitely sentient. Perhaps my initial impression of the book overpainted everything, don't really remember if it was mentioned that the mountain goats are affected by pale or the reader should have realized this on spot (which I didn't). Also, isn't it the only mention of animals in the book?

I was also referring to a quote that I belive should convey that animals populating elysium or some part of it are just cows, smth, smth, birches and pinetrees. Couldn't find it in fayde nor any claim that proves it, might as well be a mind glitch

[parasolemn]

Prev I'm so sorry to inform you, but if your version mentioned mountain goats, you read the wrong translation of the book. Those should be ibexes!

[flaxygostaa]

I've read russian translation, the batch printed by fans. "Fan translation from Estonian, 23.04.2023". I don't fully believe that, will need to clarify who the authors are. Here they are "козероги"

I think I just need to refresh my memory

[parc4rk]

(parasolemn here, just reblogging to my main blog instead because I've filled up my art blog with this post too much already)

Ah, wait, is this the translation created by Smellslikegeraniums? Then it's definitely reliable! I was talking about the English translation that was posted by u/tequilasunset5, which makes that error, and has the problems I mentioned in my tags. Apologies for the confusion!

[flaxygostaa]

No need to apologize btw!!

Also, @smellslikegeraniums DIS YOURS??

[smellslikegeraniums]

Yup! Regarding the animals, ibexes (aka козероги) do get affected by the Pale. "Automaton", though, refers to one Zigi calling all and any animals automatons, pale-affected or not!

(IIRC the book mentions cats, pigs, foxes, mice, eagles, seagulls and jellyfish, so probably Elysian fauna doesn't differ from ours))

Pinned post

Uhhhhh

Name's Rusty Shackleford, pronouns are she/her, anarcho-anarchist with anarchist characteristics, US military vet in her Smedley Butler era, I like long walks in the woods and sad songs about horses and I take shit way too serious. If u talk to me about guns or environmentalism or the STALKER video game franchize, I might even answer. This is supposed to be a searchable archive of useful posts but I keep changing my URL and breaking the links. Someday we'll plant roses in the ashes of the last prison. Welcome to the clown show.

[free-and-to-none-accountable]

[crimethinc]

To celebrate the reprinting of our anarchist cookbook Recipes for Disaster, we present a guide to installing unsanctioned mosaics in asphalt streets and parking lots:

http://crimethinc.com/asphaltmosaics

Some people know of these as the mysterious "Toynbee Tiles," the stuff of urban legend. Our researchers cracked the method two decades ago. Ever since then, we have been trying to make these as ubiquitous as spray-paint.

Can you help?

[parasolemn]

also these ones coming from two different new year gift exchange events that I never posted -- the Disco Elysium Wiki Project's Secret Santa for the Locust City-related ones, and Light in the Darkroom '26 for the Ambrosius Saint-Miro church window!

I don't think I was 100% satisfied with them when I finished them, hence why they never got posted, but (shrugs) I still like some parts of them, so up they go xP
