gradient descent into madness

wizards of the coast is really innovating if you're into apocalyptically incestuous cultural sludge, digested and regurgitated to only barest recognisability for viable producteering

There's an important lesson here, which is that stuff tends to get done by the people who just... Show up and do stuff. Just taking initiative and starting things often gives you a lot of decision power. There are no adultier adults who are in charge—just whoever is trying things.

That looks like an "I'm going to run through all my tricks until you reward me for something" to me.

all my haters turn into tomaters in my mysteriously well-fertilized garden of success

nobody seems to understand this: when you download something someone's gotta make a new file to replace the one you downloaded

it's literally like sucking cock the computer's balls need time to make new little file sperms. this is called Seeding

not what i was aiming for but you know what that's fine

when people who want to be vaguely progressive say 'nature' all secular style but it's painfully obvious they mean 'god' while thinking they don't mean god

"natural behaviour" "the natural body" "nature intended" "nature created" no da fuck it didn't

“Culture tends to argue that it forbids only that which is unnatural. But from a biological perspective, nothing is unnatural. Whatever is possible is by definition also natural. A truly unnatural behaviour, one that goes against the laws of nature, simply cannot exist, so it would need no prohibition.” - Yuval Noah Harari

making posts about how beer tastes bad is a lot like that painting of a jester harassing a bunch of dogs while leaning over a wall, except the jester is below the dogs and trying so hard to reach them, and all the dogs are extremely beautiful and strong, and have a wonderful community built on love, and they never want for anything. they never want for anything.

will toledo was so right

it doesn't have to be like this. killer whales.

me asking my cis husband for the nth if he's sure he isn't trans: maybe you haven't met the right gender yet

It bothers me so much how most AI discourse singles out AI art as a particularly bad thing when that's one of the least harmful uses of AI. If you're going to be talking about how AI is terrible at least talk about the actually harmful things it could be used for like mass surveillance or layoffs or something instead of "it makes bad art"

I keep seeing people act as though the solution to these problems is to just harass anyone who uses AI until it magically goes away, and that isn't going to work. Sending death threats towards random hobbyists (and don't pretend this doesn't happen, I have seen it happen with my own two eyes) is not going to help anyone and does not address any of the actual problems with AI. The actual problems with AI have nothing to do with consumers and acting as though shaming people for using it is going to fix any of those problems is misguided at best.
