Lately I've been seeing a lot of depressing posts about how people discard their own experiences in favor of efficiency and utility, and for some reason I needed to launch into a disjointed and pedantic rant about why useless is good.

If it helps, they removed that background image pretty much the moment it was pointed out in that post. We shouldn’t slow down or be any quieter though

Entrance into one of the Indiana Jones levels I worked on. This level went through so many iterations, but I really proud of it. Key was the amount of playtests. Coming up with puzzle ideas was the fun part, and the most challenging part for me. Amazing env art from Vytautas Katarzis. #Blocktober

Choosing either sculpting or box modelling has a significant influence on the final style of a piece - I like the style one usually gets from box modelling, but mainly, I don't know how to sculpt and I'm too afraid to try again lol

Yep, started with 4 quads from Spirit and worked my way up from there c: How: Progressively higher subdivision levels, proportional editing, and lots of camera movement, mainly

I'd like to be optimistic about it and think it's a simpler mistake than that, but the lack of communication on the issue has been disconcerting

HIYU 🚀 @hiyu.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I get that it's hard to tell, and even harder (or impossible) to enforce a rule on it, but a little "Whoops, sorry about that" is all we're looking for, honestly. We got it before when a world featured in a changelog post used generated imagery, and that was appreciated.

HIYU 🚀 @hiyu.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It's basically an impossible problem, but it would be nice if they discouraged it, and responded when people pointed out that worlds that they promoted contain it. They did it before, and their reaction was quite strong, and mirrored ours! But haven't this time, so far.

I'm saying this everywhere, asset ripping is against VRChat's TOS, and these tools only exist because they did it.

HIYU 🚀 @hiyu.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It would be a really neat tool if it didn't exist purely because it stole from us. But that's the only way it can exist.

HIYU 🚀 @hiyu.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Isn't asset ripping, stealing, reverse-engineering, or extraction against VRChat's TOS? Why are you promoting work that uses tools that only exist because they did exactly that?

Being an art culture at heart, generative imagery from stolen work is detested to the highest degree. Yet it’s important to not let it make us too cynical, nor let it change who we are, just because it regurgitates our own work so lifelessly that our own expression becomes associated with it.

040

HIYU 🚀 @hiyu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

To give an answer to the question of ‘style’ here - generative models specifically ripped off Disney’s style, hence why it’s so present in their output. The furry fandom began with people who were inspired by Looney Tunes, Disney, and other animation and comics - many people like their styles!

110

HIYU 🚀 @hiyu.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Right, and this means changes in public opinion over generative AI also affect non-generative AI research and products. If a big crash comes to the market, it will likely cause a crash in funding for those projects too, which is bad.

That, and providing answers to questions that we *don't know the answer to*, just to provide a rush to whoever's asking. Tobacco.

HIYU 🚀 @hiyu.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

It has its uses, but after millennia of folks selling snake-oils to 'cure' all manner of diseases, we invented this technology that *actually helps cure cancers*, yet it's marketed as a way of outsourcing personal expression and cheating at friendships

'AI' should be regulated like tobacco It would be really neat tech if it wasn't spearheaded by utter serrated windscreen wipers who never learned what an externality is
