I am 100% serious. Fascistic art demands adoration, demands to be loved, demands to be respected. It does not seek to express so much as to impress. It is art that aims to take and take and take, never to give.

As shit as this is, AI does nothing on purpose. It's just replicating one of the few consistent pieces of its stolen data set, which will therefore be the most accurate. The people using it to slop out a faerie feast of "art", however, certainly see this as a very lucky, lucrative, feature I'm sure.

This is the one thing I get string-on-the-wall about. Sam Altman is on record saying his goal is for all of human knowledge to be sold to us piecemeal and for him to be the collector at the paywall. The rest of the internet just being offline is how he gets people who want to learn legit to give up.

Chillchill is not a publisher but they are a very big aggregator. the last thing bl needs is more derivative slop and poorly translated content - please let them know because material oriented to women is always the first thing on the "reducing costs" chopping block

The memory hole of how all this stuff was constructed is infuriating me. Unfortunately, if an artist is popular enough or went viral at ANY POINT to where you have at least heard their name online? Their stuff was the first scraped. The "who's your favorite artist?" posts years ago? FUTURE AI BROS!!

I am absolutely fascinated by the notion that enemies to lovers is the most heteronormative trope in the men are from mars thing that dictates the assumption that men and women just don't understand one another, shouldn't be expected to and innately have different values

Really hope that nitro chiral insisted in their nuc collab contract that AI translation not be used. Not that I trust the fandom not to chalk up better quality to just 'a better studio', but if some of the fans who constantly complain about not getting their blorbo on every banner would just look 😭

The liminal space that starts with "I need to get my soup on the stove" where you're trying to Do The Math as to not put it on Too Early to be ready for dinner but also not Too Late for dinner to not be at 9 pm and ends when you inevitably just go "fuck it, it's done when it's done" and prep it

Genuinely, this completely rules

－Recently, the game has been going viral on X for its beautiful undressing animations. I’ve even read in one of your previous interviews that the development team practiced stripping themselves as reference for the undressing animations. What was the process behind making the animations actually like?

Matsui:

I’d love to know how far that story has spread. It’s true.

First, we write a plot for each undressing scene, then draw storyboards, exactly as the original team did. Then the real work begins, because the animation is essentially all keyed by hand. A designer moves the clothing’s 3D model, frame by frame, manually. It really is pretty much like the claymation method I mentioned.

We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

Then VR adds its own weight. In a normal game, if something becomes awkward, you can cut away or swap models between scenes. In VR, the player can look from any angle at any time, so none of those tricks are available. The same model has to undress convincingly no matter where you’re standing. When I described this to a designer at another studio, he said, “I would never do that.” I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.

And then, yes, the part you’ve read about. The undressing motions themselves use motion capture, but the deeper problem was that nobody actually knew the correct rhythm and order in which a person takes off clothes. So, the directors gathered and undressed themselves as reference. “That zipper is coming down too fast.” “She’d pause once before slipping her shoulder out.” These were serious, sober discussions. For compliance reasons, the Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns team works in a walled-off section of our office – and that was the moment those walls truly earned their keep.

As someone who does not have access to a library with books in her native language: bookstores can't do what libraries do. Trust me. This is a lot of the reason why, despite Japan doing the MOST with English classes no one can speak it. Read Hungry Caterpillar? That's it for books for you, in JHS!

Just woke up from a dream where I found someone selling a bunch of Setzer art that was beautiful on Livejournal (???) and I was stressing out not wanting to insult them by making an offer I could afford BUT the dream wasn't unpleasant because the awe outside the anxiety felt nice? I don't know.

I read "Maybe it's not good to always realize the wishes of others." "I see, sometimes having wishes realized is bad" in a game (not in beta, as a player, released to the public for money) this morning and got depressed. It's ROUGH out there now that because it's *~AI~* that's somehow acceptable.

I will be incredibly relieved if all of the allegations against Brubaker end up being untrue. I want to believe that the introspection he shows in his work about humanity is real, if for no other reason than to keep at least some personal hope about believing in the good of people intact.
