Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAl is.
GenAl is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Sound familiar?
Misha Loren
Just now
The analogy of the One Ring for GenAl is quite powerful, especially when you consider how it seduces users with the promise of easy power. That quote about evil being unable to create anything new feels particularly relevant to the way these models remix existing human art. It really makes you wonder if we're trading our creative soul for a shortcut.

Tumblr user nocryptographer:
I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.
A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.
AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.
Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.
There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.
I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it.
If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene...
then it's real.

It all feels either immensely ashamed of what windows was, or incredibly spiteful towards people who might like to tinker with their own experiences. Like some "proprietary homogenization". Like how smart TVs keep trying to force their settings (especially motion smoothing) on their end users

Been watching TADC and noticed something odd in the merch bit at the end of the music video they put out recently that got me thinking. What if our assumption that the "Red" ai was in charge is wrong? That Caine is really the Blue AI while the, now deleted, Red AI was Bubble?

Either way, yeah, try checking what colors the favored flowers of your area's hummingbirds for your paper colors and, as a second tip, try to replicate their patterns and petal shapes too for any on the feeder ports directly. Helped with my aunt's feeder last time when she moved it.

Sorry about the silence. Been trying to work on a ton of products and new boxes in the background. Feeling burnt, I decided to take a bit of time to work on something for me and started modeling the lamp my d&d character, Alphyrim, uses. Still a ways to go, but happy with the main body so far.

For my first hardcover book, there are pleanty of places I can improve, but I think it came out good.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Eat the rich!!

This shouldn’t be a controversial take:

Imagine for a second that you make $100,000 USD in income per year… wouldn’t that be nice?

Suppose you could save all that money (And for the sake of argument, let’s ignore inflation and depreciation for now)

How long would it take you to become a millionaire? 10 years.

How long would it take to become a BILLIONAIRE? 10,000 years. Back then, agriculture was considered a “new technology”

How long would it take you to become a TRILLIONAIRE? 10 million years.

If you started earning $100,000 USD per year back when our very first ancestors (Australopithecus) diverged in the evolutionary tree, by today you would only be halfway to your goal.

These people have a ludicrous amount of money and power. They want to keep you misinformed, distracted, and too busy to care about what they are doing. They could single-handedly fix world hunger, or eradicate disease, or ensure quality education for all children in the planet, and access to drinking water… and they choose to accrue and hoard their wealth.

We are headed towards a wold ruled by oligarchs. And I sure as heck don’t want that.

BILLIONAIRES SHOULDN’T EXIST - TRILLIONAIRES ARE A SIGN THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!!

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.
