BEWARE OF GLIMMER!!!! ARTISTS AND FANFICTIONERS!!!!!

ITS AI!!!!!!!

You might think omg fun a choices based fanfic, the writer must have spent so much time on this! but NO IT IS GENERATIVE AI SLOP.

It requires a person to write a bit of story to get an idea then it just goes for it and generates a story around either the og “writer’s” prompts or the ones you make yourself. You can pick up on the inconsistencies right away. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!!!

It’s sickening to see. Ai is NOT fanfiction and it never will be!

I really wish there was a fanfic site out there that you could do this with akin to the games episode or choices but ,unfortunately, no luck as of now. And with generative ai on the rise we might never see the day we get a true, passionate, choose your own adventure fanfiction website. Unless it comes as a rebellious act against ai. (Which I am 100% down for)

The company behind glimmer claims to be ethical, they are NOT. If they truly believed in human creation and that ai could never replace the human writer, they would program a PROPER website that the user can program their own story on with preset choices MADE BY A PERSON WITH HOURS OF HARD WORK GOING INTO IT.

BEWARE OF GLIMMER.

It’s super sad to see how people on here on tumblr are actually posting their glimmer stories like it isn’t a crime against the artist.

"the gods made us in their image" meaning:

The gods gave us our human form because they look like humans ❌️

The gods gave us big minds and the desire to learn and create just like they do ✅️

Obviously if you believe the whole "the gods look human in their natural state" thing, that's fine. It's not exactly something that can be proven right or wrong

This is just my theory

We are "god-like" in our actions and minds, not so much our apperance. We look how we do cause of evolution. But our brains/spirits are a little funky with it.

She wrote a viral essay. Turns out it was AI

https://siobhanbrier.com/932/review-of-confessions-of-a-viral-ai-writer/

She really explains delicately why I think I create and engage in other art. Try to understand my own experiences through watching things, reading things, listening to things. All the way from a 2 minute song to 4 hour video essay’s. It’s great to know I am not alone in my experiences and feelings. 

Creating something can reveal something about yourself. Creation can create connection. Creating can be revealing things to yourself you don’t want to think about. 

“But in the end stories are about one person saying to another “This is the way it feels to me, can you understand what I’m saying, doe it feel that way to you too?’- Kazuo Ishiguro 

Fave lines:

You take these weights, these parts of yourself that you think are uniquely damaged and heavy and lost, then someone else mentions them and you realize that, this whole time, you have been sharing that weight, which makes it lighter. 

But fulfilling that social need is demanding work. You have to pay your social dues. You have to text first. You have to do favors. You have to forgive. You have to risk being traumatized. But we can find something similar to social connection with a fictional character, or the voice of author, or the plot of a story. 

If great writing gives you a personal connection, a moment’s respite from loneliness, then a great writer understands how to create and foster that connection 

So continue to reach out your hand in your art, and every once in a while, another human will see it, and take it.

Support TV art/entertainment. Support physical media. Support second hand video game and DVD trade-ins. Cinemas. Theaters. Pantomimes. Stage plays.

I know we can’t afford to have them right now. But trust me when I say that we can’t afford to lose them either.

Please - if you can. It helps more than you realize.

It’s more of a convienence than the previously mentioned but try to support streaming services as little as possible. Let them know that we don’t like where the TV art/entertainment industry is going.

Let them know we do not want to lose the experience of sharing our favourite TV shows, movies and games.

Yes. You can theoretically do that with streaming too. But it’s an entirely different experience and it’s not what TV art/entertainment is for or about. We’re losing our passion for creativity. Innovation and artistry by feeding into the big technology moguls that do not give a shit about visual and audial connected experiences.

It’s expensive and it’s an inconvenience. I know.

But the people who care need you more than you know.

Sumerian Mythology - The earliest deities of ancient Mesopotamia (24)

Creation Myth – A society that accepts and does not accept people born with disabilities [So far: see Part 1 & Part 2]

Many cultures treated people born with disabilities as a tragedy, and sympathising with them, but did not accept them as part of society.

The Sumerians, on the other hand, did not exclude the physically challenged from their society, but rather, in the wisdom of the god Enki, they made it possible for them to live as members of society by assigning jobs to the six types of people born with disabilities that Ninmah had made from the clay of Abzu.

The king of Sumerian society should not only be a man of valour, but also a supporter of social justice. The preface to the Code of Ur-Nammu, enacted by King Ur-Nammu, the first king of the Third Dynasty of Ur, states: "I will not hand over an orphan to a rich man. I will not hand over a widow to a strong man".

It was Sumerian society that considered attention to the weak as a form of social justice.

創世神話〜障害者を受け入れる社会、受け入れない社会 [これまでの話: その1参照 & その2参照 ]

障害をもって生まれた人間を悲劇として扱い、障害のあるものに涙しても、その者を社会の一員になかなか受け入れようとしない冷たさがある文化圏が多かった。しかし、シュメール人は障害者を社会から排除するのではなく、エンキ神の知恵としながらも、ニンマフがアブズの粘土でつくった六種類の肉体的に障害のある人間たちに職業をあてがうなどして、社会の一員として生きていけるようにしている。

シュメール社会の王は武勇に優れているだけでなく、社会正義の擁護者でもあるべきであった。ウル第三王朝初代ウル・ナンム王が制定した「ウルナンム法典」序文には「私は孤児を富める者に引き渡さない。私は未亡人を強き者に引き渡さない」と書かれている。

弱者への目配りを社会正義のひとつと考えるのがシュメール社会であった。

Livving Cure

@powerequalsjustice

Somewhere in the digital world, a mysterious lone digi-egg was developing. It was Pink with Mint tiger-stripes, and had a paw-print on it. It wasn’t like any other digimon, this one was brand new. The digi-egg was also develouping durring a crucial time, it was durring one of the most infectious and deadly virus outbreaks in the digital world. However, this digimon’s creation was not autherised by Yggdrasil, they didn’t even know it was being made untill

/wable wable/

The egg was finished and was ready to hatch, whatever digimon was inside would surely change the world, but would it be for the better or worse? The shell began to crack and light began to seep out, eventualy the whole egg was glowing white and bright. Out popped a small, wolf-like creature, It was unidentified. It wore a tag with a crest in it, the crest being mint with a paw-print marking.

/yawn/

the baby digimon let out a high-pithed, short and quiet howl and opened its eyes for the first time. Puppymon was finaly born, and it was this new signal of life that got the king’s attention.

Creation Myth – What happens over drinks, Part 2 [So far: see Part 1]

The making of Umul

This time they agreed that the god Enki should create the human being and the goddess Ninmah should decide his fate.

Enki made Umul. Umul’s whole body was weak, including his eyes and neck, and he could hardly breathe or put bread in his mouth. His legs staggered and he could not go to the field.

Enki complained Ninmah, "For your creatures I have fixed a fate, I have given them their daily bread. Now, you should set a fate for my creature, give him his daily bread too." Ninmah looked at Umul and asked him questions, but he could not speak. She offered him bread to eat but he could not reach out for it. Ninmah answered Enki: "The man you have fashioned is neither alive nor dead. He cannot support himself."

Enki's reply to the goddess Ninmah, who continued to harangue him, was: "Let him build me a house." Ninmah could not equal the great Lord Enki." Father Enki, your praise is sweet!" And the story ends.

ウムウルの創造

今度は逆にエンキ神が人間をつくり、ニンマフ女神がその者の運命を定めることにしようと話がまとまった。

エンキがつくったのはウムウルであった。ウムウルは目や首など身体全体が弱く、呼吸もほとんど出来ず、パンを口に入れることも出来ない。足はよろめき、畑に行くことも出来ない。

エンキはニンマフに「あなたの創造物のために、私は運命を決定し、彼らに日々のパンを与えた。今度は、私の創造物にも運命を定めて、彼に日々のパンを与えるべきだ」と文句を言った。ニンマフはウムウルを見て質問したが、ウムウルは話すことができなかった。彼女は彼にパンを食べさせようとしたが、彼はそれに手を伸ばすことができなかった。ニンマフはエンキに答えた。「あなたが造った人間は、生きてもいないし、死んでもいない。彼は自分を支えることができないではないか！」

さらなる恨み言を言い続けるニンマフ女神に対するエンキ神は「彼に私の家を建てさせよう」と答えた。ニンマフは偉大な主エンキに匹敵することはできなかった。"父なるエンキ、あなたの賞賛は喜ばしいものです！"と言って物語は終わる。
