this recent trend of teenagers using genAI chatbots to talk to fictional characters is fucking grim. what you should be doing is roleplaying on private messages with your friends until the lines between you & the characters begin to blur & you develop some very complex & confusing feelings for each other that culminate in a massive fallout you dont have the tools to process nor understand

Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
But also… RAD PLAYING MY DUDEEEE
I think game studios should just release their character creators online. For the times when I don’t wanna play the whole game, just the lil dress up part
cmmssn for a friend

As someone who works w animals “animals are not mindless automatons, they actually do have feelings and individuality and are capable of feeling acute physical and emotional pain and of forming deep attachments with other animals and people” and “animals are not human infants and have a limited capacity to communicate with humans so you have to familiarize yourself with their boundaries bc if they feel threatened or overstimulated they will fall back on their basic instincts and if you fuck around you are going to find out” are statements that can and should coexist
i don’t know what else to say except that AI art is no longer simply a source of creativity or a wonder of human creation. it has become actively hostile and destructive toward the very thing it pretends to uplift and celebrate. it is void of any human element, any soul or ounce of emotion or self-expression. continuing to use AI art knowing that it comes from theft and robbing artists of their livelihood is disgusting. we need your support now more than ever. stop giving these thieves your money and admiration.
We've spent the past 20-30 years enjoying a brief time where artists were able to share their art with the world for little to no cost to themselves to audiences who never would have been able to see their works before. Artistic talent and creativity have exploded thanks to the web, with people are to share techniques and tools that would have been kept behind financial and academic barriers and create audiences in entirely new ways.
And now tech bros are out to plunder that wealth of artistry we've come to enjoy through brute force statistical modelling so they can cut the artists out of the business of selling art. Why would a company bother employing rosters of artists to produce for them when they can hire a handful of people to run the models and tweak the outputs to suit their needs?
There is nothing benevolent or celebratory in this, it is purely about theft and exploitation. It's about violating the copyright of artists in order to churn out content that's Good Enough to suit the needs of capitalists. Do you think that the publishing industry will continue to pay authors for their works if they can just hand an algorithm a prompt and get a completed work in a handful of minutes or hours, and then pay someone to edit it into something coherent (if they even need to)?
This is the end result of the commodification of art. The artistry of the works do not matter, only that they can be sold and generate profit. Capitalism has always been existed in opposition to art, Capital requires steady growth of returns and regular output, art demands innovation and risky endeavours to push the boundaries. Art is of use to capital only in so far as it is able to generate direct sales and intellectual property that can then itself be turned into a commodity. The moment Capital is able to cut artistry and artists out of the equation so that it can further maximize it's profits, it will. And what's worse, the art it produces will be stale and recycled.
Brute force statistical modelling by it's very nature is recycling, it will continue reusing old ideas and old techniques in new configurations. It is an artistic ouroboros, incapable of anything but accidental innovation through sheer volume of output, that will then be re-consumed and reconstituted all over again.
It would be nice to be able to actually see the night sky again.
Introducing the phrase "found family" to fandom spaces was a mistake. Now half of fandon wants to force their "found families" into neat little boxes like "this is the dad, this is the mum, this is the fun uncle, these ones are siblings", even though the entire POINT of found family as a concept was to reject traditional family structures as the norm and rigid ideas of what a family even is, and then they get big mad whenever even dares suggest something romantic or sexual could happen between two completely unrelated mature adult characters they've arbitrarily decided are "parent/child" or "siblings" based on basically NOTHING in canon and start accusing that potential relationship of being incestuous. That's not how that works! That's not how any of this works!!
Fr, quick poll, raise your hands if you've ever said something like "we're like family ☺" or "sisters! 💖" or "he's my brother" about a close friend who you actually had a huge gay crush on but were too deep in the closet to actually admit it so you had to come up with another way to express how much you loved them and viewed them differently to your other friends.
🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
i’m pretty sure my 19 year old self referred to my then-best friend as “like a brother to me” to emphasize how close we were.
we’re married now.
i wonder if actors ever get their scripts and are like

Starbucks funded the police in Atlanta so here’s their recipes
do you have a link to the images cause they’re a little small and compressed
Here’s the tweet I got it from
Lol I used to work at Starbucks. I approve this. Pro tip: to make a latte at home, just boil the milk. You don’t need any special equipment.
I don’t see my favorite which was an earl grey tea latte aka London fog. It’s 3 pumps vanilla with 2 earl grey teabags with ½ water then the other half is 2% milk for a grande. It tastes better with soy milk and an extra shot of sugar.
Texas gave up that land so they could keep slavery:
“When Texas sought to enter the Union in 1845 as a slave state, federal law in the United States, based on the Missouri Compromise, prohibited slavery north of 36°30' parallel north. Under the Compromise of 1850, Texas surrendered its lands north of 36°30' latitude.”
Tell me more about how critical race theory shouldn’t be taught in school.
I am a grown ass man and I just learned about this 5 minutes ago. Fuck everything about trying to hide the sins of our past.
