I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data center

some AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

If @bsky.app (and any other that follows the "phone/mobile" UI) actually cared about their plataform being useful and comfortable: Here's my take on what it could alctually look like. Do we really need -THAT MUCH- empty dead space? really? And don't get me started on the fucking gallery view...sigh

With this, you can spawn props from your animations using AnimNotifyStates. No scripting, no manual spawning or destroying of props, just add a NotifyState, tell it the mesh/actor, and you're done. Go grab it, if you're interested: github.com/Kaaaron/Anim...

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.
