Alone in the City (Creative Commons music) - VictorLincolnPine's Ko-fi Shop

A lonely soul sits on a concrete ledge over a city of steel, glass and light, and sings. Then, someone joins them as police sirens pass them

Please be critical of what videos you see now. Even cute animal ones. Does the animal move kind of weirdly? Is the fur a little too smooth looking? Do all of the non dog animals make actions eerily similar to how a dog would do a trick, because that's what AI has the most visual training on replicating? Its movements a bit too quick and perfectly timed? Watch out. They're infecting collections of animal videos everywhere.

It is legitimately sickening.

[cremsie]

An example of what kind of a thing you need to look out for. This is not how a possum plays dead. This is how a DOG plays dead to make you laugh and get a treat. Because when you tell an AI to have it play dead its got thousands of dog trick videos to reference and very few possum ones in contrast. So its going to look like a dog. When a possum plays dead it actually looks.. yknow. Dead. It goes utterly limp and most of the time in my experience their mouth is open somewhat. They go utterly still, don't move at all. Even if you pick em up and nudge em around a bit they’ll usually be stiff as a board. There's videos you can find of people interacting with real possums when they’re playing dead and its incredibly different from the dog drop and roll we see here. It also almost immediately stops playing dead to wander away. Something a real possum most certainly wouldn't do. AI slop thrives off using these lower quality cam video styles to trick you. I've seen countless 'Security camera' footage of AI bullshit now and its got its tells but if you're not looking you can easily be deceived. Watch out. Do your part. Call it out. Make them ashamed. Pollution on the internet like this shouldnt be tolerated. Especially when its actively trying to lie to you. None of these have ever been labelled as AI because they're actively trying to sneak into your life.

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

^what artistic growth feels like

[victorlincolnpine]

this is not always true! sometimes learning is incredibly fun and energetic

it's not all the time, but seriously, it can be fun when you're trying to figure out something and then you realize "wait a minute... if this is true, then this is also true, then this and this and this and-" and suddenly you're off to the races learning a metric ton of stuff without realizing it

we just don't register it as learning because we've been trained to see "learning" as something that's difficult or uncomfortable no matter what. And this training is flatly bullshit.

The truth is that you're always learning. Especially when you're having fun.

has anyone else noticed that its awesome to have an anthropomorphic animal representation of yourself that you can draw in situations

I fucking wake up to find AI generated transphobic CP in my goddamned ask box from a burner account.

How's your day?

psa yay-bunnies is back on the account yay-bunnies-world, block and report 🤘

here are a few posts documenting* the** things fae have done

*post was made in response to bun frequently interacting with missstrogen/i-suggest-forcefem, who is a pedophile who makes no effort to work on herself/almost certainly wishes to offend and encourages minors to interact with her blog that has a lot of kink posts

**transwoman/transmen is a transphobic dogwhistle, it is using “transmen” on purpose because fae hate transmasculine people

[victorlincolnpine]

See, I knew saying "trans men" was the right way to say it.

people had me thinking I had it backwards for a minute there

[natalieironside]

Update to this post: I deadpanned "Alright, you can roll a perception check if you promise to be a good boy" and there was like a solid minute of silence

I love tabletop roleplaying games

Transandrophobia is the lack of transmasc characters in media and the hate and erasure you get for hcing characters as transmasc.

This is transandrophobia.

debatably, tung tung tung sahur is the most significant cultural influence ai has had at this point

[victorlincolnpine]

and that speaks to how little cultural value it has as a whole concept because until now I sincerely believe half the people in this room were with me in not even reading or hearing that phrase written in any format

i want ice cream .

[javascript-official]

This seems counterproductive to your goals, how are you going to get ice cream if there is no earth? Are you an idiot stupid of sorts?

[destructionfanq]

oh my apologies i see my mistake

this is literally the plot of a Dragon Ball movie if I remember correctly

Reminder that Wikipedia only works if we make it work

the editors are people like us. They are us. We keep track of our own facts. We fix the broken links. We correct the sources. We change "is" to "was".

And if we don't keep that up, we won't have Wikipedia the way it could be anymore.

It's not a penultimate source of truth. It is a constantly updated analysis of the facts.

And we are the ones analyzing it.

If you see something messed up on a Wikipedia article, you can do research and push an edit. If the other editors all come to an agreement, then that edit is maintained. It's a powerful system, but it needs you to be a part of it for it to work.
