Hey softie i dare you to give crash a sweet hug or capture him which one on @crazycratebreaker >:3

"Were you just...HUGGING that Crash doll?!" "What?! No, of course not!! H-Hey, see?! Look!! You wanted me to dissect him, right?! I'm just getting some practice in!! Haha!! Ha! Ha…!"

…I'm so fired.

(@crazycratebreaker Thank you so much for the ask!! I'm surprised people like my Crash stuff, honestly. I'm not confident in my ability to draw Crash correctly though, so I made him into a plushie for this kdjfhg)

(on the plus side, this was decent practice for drawing Cortex fjsdfsh)

It doesn't say that all the authors agreed with his assertions, or that his argument was made well. If I worded my questions badly enough and interpreted the data even worse, I bet I could get nearly every author to either sound like they agree with me or ignore my survey completely.

Killing this person Stabbing them Setting their house on fire

Why the fuck do these people even pick up a book

if they don't even engage with the fucking text. "Yeah when I write I just throw words onto the page", "Yeah the order and meaning of the words are irrelavant" -> These 75 writers

What do you think about the whole “Hajime’s parents have their permission for the Project” thing? Because of course it’s possible they were lied to about what it involved or even that their signatures were forged

Í think I support the idea that they knew at least somewhat. a) Hajime got his obsession with talent from somewhere and it makes sense that the root might be at home, b) it's a good commentary on how much talent and profession matters in this world and how far people are willing to go for the chance to be an Ultimate. It matters THAT much, that kids are forced into a career at an early age and parents are willing to let their kids go through medical procedures.

Probably they didn't know details, and by the time they started wondering where their boy was, HPA just shut them down and made investigation impossible because they're THAT powerful. But they should have read the fine print / between the lines, when it comes to surrendering their kid to an institution.

I especially need a doc for Trevor (tv head) and Weston Briar (alastor rip off) bc I have so much intricate lore for them that is important for their story but will never reasonably come up in the mediums I tell thru

wednesday!aemond and dark!alicent | a snippet

When it happens for the first time, the only thing Alicent thinks is we should have used a donor. 

Aemond, her son, watches her with Rhaenyra’s careful blue eyes, his hair Rhaenyra’s specific shade of blonde - almost white, practically white. In the dim light of their basement, he almost looks like a ghost. In front of him is a bloodied corpse of a squirrel and a scalpel. Alicent wonders, briefly, just how exactly he got his hands on one. 

“Don’t worry, mother,” Aemond says, quiet and cool and collected. His voice is Rhaenyra’s, too; but the glint in his eyes is not. 

That’s all her.

“Don’t worry,” he repeats. “It’s roadkill. I am above killing my cadavers myself.”

For now, Alicent thinks.

The first time it happens, all she can think is it’s my fault.

But it’s also not the first time at all, is it?

it occurs to me that part of this "chatgpt will make up nonexistent articles and quotes and whatnot and then attribute them to real people" issue - I suspect it has something to do with "referencing and citing Actual Things In the World where appropriate" and "not plagiarizing existing writing" being two goals at cross-purposes for training a program on like, general writing I guess? - when it doesn't already have a background of understanding the difference between "real" and "fake".

like, you have something that understands "here are strings of text! I know a lot about how parts of these strings tend to get put together to form larger blocks of text. I also know that it's important to make sure I don't arrange those blocks or strings of text in ways that directly match existing blocks of highly unique text in my dataset."

so like... it completely makes sense why it'd have trouble contextually with stuff like "citing real scientific article titles"? unless you put it through a much more rigorous training designed specifically to learn what (contextually) makes something an "article title" as opposed to other text, and what distinguishes "citing something [e.g. putting an exact copy of existing unique text into what it generates]" from "plagiarizing".... that's probably not a task the computer is equipped to handle.

i literally have no idea what her name is so we'll go with the government-assigned option. also i styled her after a dragonfruit so there wasn't a ton of thought put into the Meaning of it all.

DETUNED demo released!

DETUNED is a bizarre game based on personal experiences with sensitivity to noise. It turns classic rhythm gameplay on its head: rather than hitting the notes of a song according to its beat, you need to avoid a randomly generated series of notes.
