Midsea's jibber jabbers

A blog about drawing, animation, geeky things, brilliant dodads and what ever other glorious things I feel like adding. (And some times I post bits of my own art too... also I make bad jokes...sorry.) (Wallpaper by xfreischutz )

Such insistance on alt text only makes me more paranoid it’s all being scraped for ai training though.

Oh you want me to in depth perfectly discribe whats in my art “because blind people” even though discribing it wont really mean blind people can appreciate it any more than they already could? … and even though that sounds like the perfect reverse engineering data for image generative ai...... And even though i do lightly discribe what somthing is alot of the time like “ a fox I drew” but that isn’t good enough?........ M

Maybe every other socail media has left me parinoid but ....* gestures at every other social media and app and how infected with ai stealing bull that they tried to hide they are*

I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology

a girl and her turtle (they pull up and ask you to get in the car wyd)

This is frustrating.

I love the comparison, but I hate how they are comparing.

They are acting like she is using optics to give herself an advantage. But the device she is wearing is just for comfort and essentially does the same thing as closing one eye and squinting the other.

The little thing over the left eye is basically like an eye patch.

And the thing over her right eye is a mechanical iris, like in a camera lens, but it is NOT a lens.

Different lighting environments are going to be brighter or darker and you may have to squint more or less to let in the same amount of light into your eye. Squinting allows the shooter to get the sharpest possible vision in order to shoot a bullseye the size of a 12-point Times New Roman period.

But if you have to squint for hours for practice and in competition, this can strain your face muscles and become uncomfortable. So this iris basically squints for you.

It's more like wearing comfortable shoes so your feet do not hurt than a lens magnifying the target and giving an advantage.

Both athletes have access to these items. One felt more comfortable without them. The other didn't feel like getting a muscle cramp from squinting all day.

Either would have shot the same if they had or had not used these devices.

Just a funny difference in gear preference.

I should also add, the Turkish dad is the only one using lenses.

[sirfrogsworth]

I'd just like to add that Kim Yeji may look like a cool cyborg badass, but she and the Turkish dad only won silver.

The gold medal winner in the women's air pistol finals was adorable and a bit overshadowed.

Oh Ye-jin, who is only 19, won gold and set an Olympic record with her final score.

Kim Yeji is her mentor and seems very supportive of her.

Also, Oh Ye-jin added a little heart to the barrel blocking thingie.

I mean, it's like she got lost at summer camp and just wandered into the Olympics to win gold.

I think she deserves some attention too.

When I was watching the competition I kept wondering why they never showed the actual target as it was being shot. On the broadcast they just show a graphic of the target.

And then the commentator said the bullseye was literally the size of a period—smaller than the actual pellets they are shooting. And that the entire target was the size of a coin.

They'd have to set up a macro lens next to every target for you to see them.

Pretty much every shot lands within the 3 inner circles. And if you hit the 3rd circle your shot is basically garbage. Like you'd see the shooters grimace and do an angry little foot stomp if they hit it there.

Like, if you get a 7 you might as well go home.

And the best shot possible is a 10.9—which would be hitting as close to the bullseye as can be measured.

This was Oh Ye-jin's final gold medal winning shot.

A 10.6!

It's absolutely bonkers how precise these shooters are.

I mean... look at this period...

.

Now imagine trying to shoot it from 30 feet away.

I don't think my old ass could even see the damned thing.

Thank you for the context, my nearsighted ass did NOT know this.

Just me pondering I guess… I feel like what really irks me also about the current entertainment/gaming industry debacle (with the massive layoffs, or AI being art and job theft or the irrational greed of business people) is that it now openly excludes and casts out one group of people w/o shame and in a way denies them being able to enjoy life (like free job choice) and what’s even worse is that it has become a threat of existence for those now out of a job, but also to those that still have one. It's more layoffs than job openings currently, which therefore almost completely denies access and those few that remain in the industry get cycled through one project after another, each time one step closer to burnout.

AI CEOs admit wanting to rid creatives of their job with reasoning that make them look like toddlers with a temper tantrum in adult suits that held a grudge for too long. And I feel like I am back in high school with my friends where you got bullied for being artsy nerds. Like god forbid people develop a passion and skills for smth and later enjoy their jobs. It's immensly dismaying for me. Because this feels like high school behavior, it’s the same damn scheme, but those are actually adult people in leading positions with huge impact. This is where behavior and decisions count and it’s ruining lifes. There’s an unhinderend amount of irrationality in business we haven’t seen like that before.

I hope you believe that you can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you lost many years of it to grief, or darkness, depression, or a wound that wouldn't close.
