You can give up an IP. You can. I loved it too. There's much better. You'll find something else. I did. (And it's much better.) I'm not scolding. But I am encouraging. Let it go, untether yourself, give yourself something better that doesn't harm the vulnerable.

There are going to be a LOT of people in thrift shops this year. And in food banks. And at holiday soup kitchens. For the love of CHRIST - now that someone's brought this to your attention, please go through your stuff - for kids *and* for grown-ups - and for once, give some GOOD stuff away.

#Silea generally doesn't wear dresses unless necessary, but if Shadowheart asked nicely, she would. And she'd look damn good in it.

As my wife said - considering the Totenkopf being so burned into the collective Western culture, few designers would dare use a skull at such an angle in their designs, because they'd fear the allegations. Even edgy metal bands know better.

His name is Taki and he was arrested for Dorito? This is just a marketing catastrophe.

Yeah. It's very easy to dismiss AI narration for Genshin tutorials with "oh well at least it's not a character" but work is work. That's the issue. Voice acting is already a shallow pool. Draining it further hurts everyone. It's not just the characters with prints and con invites. It's the job.

I lucked out, it's sexy Skull Knight (from Berserk).

Sexy cremation pendant 😬

Hang in there, struggling artists

Imagine an Argonian rubbing their face on your shoulder as a sign of absolute trust. (That's what my iguana would do before falling asleep draped over my neck.)

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Russia attacked kindergarten in Kharkiv. Russia’s daily terror across Ukraine continues.

This is Iliamna. She made a new best friend, who happens to be a balloon. Really thought they would have more time together. 12/10 (TT: andreal.corbin)

Oh to be a small but feisty cat free to smack people who irritate you

Anyway maybe we shouldn’t let Amazon run things that decides if we can access our money or get into our houses. Just saying.

Like I always say, the only thing with more corrupting influence than political power is money. And as long as financial organizations aren't held to certain standards by force, they will continue to perpetuate atrocities in the name of profit.

Support the artists you like now because tomorrow you might not be able to find them.

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff Block, move on.

It's almost like the best way to reach an actual customer is to just exist in their spaces, be genuine about what you're providing and have a personality outside of that. Something you won't learn in business/advertising schools.

Well then. Looks like i will have to learn how to use other OSes after all.

Yeah, I thought so too! Fucking Mandela effect strikes again.

"the batshot crazies" cool new euphemism for rabies just dropped

"i think we're all living in a period of time right now" should be the new "we live in a society"

kids teacher just sent this home as part of an assignment he's doing and i want to smash every computer at the school

Israel got their hostages back, promptly started praising Trump and promising to get him that Nobel Peace Prize he's been rambling about. Now how about bringing the badly needed relief to Palestinian civilians? Oh wait. IDF are *still* not withdrawing. I wonder why.

Why is this the first I'm hearing about this?

So THAT is why they were turning the frogs gay! The thick plottens

Related to this, every "gender critical" fundraiser ever is either "these people have rights, I'd like them not to have rights" or "these people agree people have rights so I'm suing" The average LGBT+ fundraiser is "I'd like healthcare and to eat tomorrow please" Which one is the "luxury belief"?

Damn, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for distractions

Sarjispajassa kysyttiin voiko tekoälyltä kysyä neuvoa, jos ei heti keksi ideaa. Sanoin, että meitä ehdollistetaan kärsimättömyyteen. Eihän ideoita kuulukaan keksiä heti! "Idealihakset" kehittyvät ja ideat kypsyvät ajan kanssa. Ideointia voi treenata harjoitteilla. Mitä sitten tehtiinkin.

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men

One of the reasons Crime and Punishment is so long, yet ends so abruptly, is that it was serialized, Dostoyevsky had gambling debts and strung it along to get paid, and finally his editor told him to wrap it up, already

Quick reminder that Spotify's CEO doesn't care at all about what you think, nor artists or listeners. If you ever want to move to Deezer (still crossing fingers they do not jump into AI too), they have a tool to import all your Spotify's playlists. Plus : Spotify audio quality sucks.

First kids have to undergo active shooter drills. Now they need to be taught how to avoid being kidnapped from their own home. Such great country! Much liberty! Bestest country in the world!

Thanks, i'm gonna use that from now on

I wrote this on reddit, but pasting here for better reach. 🧵 "Not every pro ai person is okay with theft". OK, let's assume you actually got your hands on a raw, untrained genAI and trained it from scratch using only materials created through your own painstaking labor [1/]
