Gonna keep it a Stack. If you hate/dislike any of the #Pathfinder2e or #Starfinder2e games because they have LGTBQ++ or Nonbinary characters in em? Please Get the fuck out of this community. No really. fuck off. We don't need or want fascists in this space. Kick rocks.

I don't have a beef with the person reposting, as I said. Are you taking this tack because I said it poorly? I am not attacking a person, merely the idea that LLMs/A.I. is somehow an acceptable thing to deprive artists of their living. For me, this is a closed topic.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Is that only me you're saying that to? Or are you another person trying to police the tone of the fact that I won't support so-called "A.I." and said so? I said what I said. If a person brought the message of another, then they know I wasn't talking to them. What is there to improve?

To quote the Neal Stephenson novel, Snow Crash: "If it wasn’t for the hydrogen bomb, a {person} could still aspire." That's not a wager I'd want to make... but if you want to still contend, go ahead. I'll be rooting for you to win.

An adult bear popped open a parked car in Gatlinburg, and the whole family piled in for a little retail therapy. They raided the car, grabbed what they could, then dumped the loot in the parking lot.

Oh, if the person posting this isn't that person, then they probably know that. If they don't know that, then I'm stating a principle for in general, not insulting them; I'm going after an _attitude_, that of those who are willing to exploit others. I have no malice for reposters.

I heard the term ‘meat proxy’ recently, meaning someone who places themself as a human middleman between an employer and genAI, and it is simultaneously a perfect term for the practice, and existentially depressing when you realise how many want to nominate themselves for the role.

No. Furthermore, I would never employ someone like you. If I employ somebody, it's a person who will ACTUALLY MAKE something for me that will be real, and not some word-predicting slopmachines hyper-banal reconstituted output. I recently employed an artist who did a SUPERLATIVE JOB on two pieces.

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men
Witches are naturally nosy,” said Miss Tick, standing up. “Well, I must go. I hope we shall meet again. I will give you some free advice, though.”
“Will it cost me anything?”
“What? I just said it was free!” said Miss Tick.
“Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive,” said Tiffany.
Miss Tick sniffed. “You could say this advice is priceless,” she said, “Are you listening?”
“Yes,” said Tiffany.
“Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...”
“Yes?”
“...and believe in your dreams...”
“Yes?”
“...and follow your star...” Miss Tick went on.
“Yes?”
“...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. Goodbye.

That's all very nice, but I won't be interested in any such installments. I'm well aware of Magical Space Wizards et al. I was, after all, there in 1977 when the line wrapped around the theater three times. The sheer idiocy of the last film was insulting, so I won't be going back.
