"All this digital art stuff, you know, it goes way over my head. But my wife, y'see, she has this cousin Lou. Now Lou's a real smart cookie, knows everything from Blender to Clip Studio, but the one thing they won't touch is AI. Says it wastes a whole lot of electricity for something that only looks good at a glance.
See, a computer, it can't think through things like a human can. You or I, when we look at a drawing of an apple, we can compare it to real apples we've seen. If you show us a drawing of some orange thing with spikes coming out every which way, well, we can tell you that sure doesn't look like an apple.
But a computer? All a computer can do is look at pictures of apples. And if you give that computer enough pictures of apples that are a little bit orange, or a little bit bumpy, well. It might just decide that spiky orange thing is an apple too. It takes a whole lot of pictures of apples to get the computer mostly good at guessing when things are apples or not.
Now, that's bad enough when you just want your computer to tell you what it sees. When you want a computer to make an image, though, that's where Lou says you really run into trouble. You put a piece of paper in front of me, give me a pencil, and tell me to draw an apple, it won't win any awards. But it'll be a new drawing. Nobody's ever drawn that exact same drawing the exact same way before.
But if you take your computer that's gotten pretty good at guessing when things are apples, and you tell it "okay, draw me an apple", it can't make a completely new drawing of an apple. Instead, it'll take the pictures you've given it and mash 'em together. Maybe, at the end, you won't be able to tell which pictures it used, but if you ask it for enough drawings of apples, you'll start seeing patterns...
I'm sorry, I'll get out of your hair. I know you have to get back to your painting.
Just one more thing... how many fingers does that man in the corner have?"

A video of Palestinian man burning to death while still connected to an IV went viral after Israel firebombed a hospital and set tents on fire. I won't post the video or the pictures but I'd like to commemorated the victim.
This is Shaaban Al-Dalu. He had two sisters and a little brother. He was studying software engineering in the tent he died in. Shaaban was his family's sole provider. His mother died with him. May they rest in peace
Edited to add family pic

But now you have to imagine, the day Mikaela goes missing Sable is distraught everyone else accepts that one of the weird witchy girls disappeared, and no one knows how. But Sable wont just give up on the only person who stayed by her side, so she starts researching.
Sable searches desperately for her only friend, and when shes faced with something far beyond her understanding she pushes forward. She ventures deep below the earth, to the edge of the only reality shes ever known, nothing but the dark fog and untold horrors come from below, but she doesn’t stop. She will never stop because she refuses to leave Mikaela all alone in the dark fog.
Then in the light of the distant campfire, Sable sees her. She runs as fast as she can faster than she ran from any of the psychopaths or eldritch beast that pursued her. She practically tackles Mikaela as she being her into her embrace. Sobbing into her shoulder in relief she grips into her best friend tighter than ever before, almost as if she could hold on strong enough she could keep the darkness from stealing her again. Finally… Finally theyre together again. But somethings wrong, Mikaela’s not returning the hug at all.
‘Had it not been that long for her? Is she mad at me? Why wouldnt she be hugging me back.’
A thousand thoughts ran through Sables mind as the strength of her grasp slowly gave out, allowing Mikaela to slip out of her grasp, and she sees her eyes. Mikaela’s eyes dont show any joy or relief, just confusion, and maybe a bit scared. How could she act like this, the only person Sable ever truly cared for was scared of her?
‘Who… who are you?” Mikaela asks.
Stalker HC for sable. their lore doesn't match up in the slightest, I think it's odd that Mikaela never mentioned Sable in her lore...but then in Sable's lore they're besties?
giving me creepy stalker vibes : )
