too many thoughts on the new hbomberguy video not to put them anywhere so:
with every app trying to turn into the clock app these days by feeding you endless short form content, *how many* pieces of misinformation does the average person consume day to day?? thinking a lot about how tons of people on social media go largely unquestioned about the information they provide just because they speak confidently into the camera. if you're scrolling through hundreds of pieces of content a day, how many are you realistically going to have the time and will to check? i think there's an unfortunate subconscious bias in liberal and leftist spaces that misinformation is something that is done only by the right, but it's a bipartisan issue babey. everybody's got their own agendas, even if they're on "your side". *insert you are not immune to propaganda garfield meme*
and speaking of fact checking, can't help but think about how much the current state of search engines Sucks So Bad right now. not that this excuses ANY of the misinformation at all, but i think it provides further context as to why these things become so prevalent in creators who become quick-turnaround-content-farms and cut corners when it comes to researching. when i was in high school and learning how to research and cite sources, google was a whole different landscape that was relatively easy to navigate. nowadays a search might give you an ad, a fake news article, somebody's random blog, a quora question, and another ad before actually giving you a relevant verifiable source. i was googling a question about 1920s technology the other day (for a fanfiction im writing lmao) and the VERY FIRST RESULT google gave me was some random fifth grader's school assignment on the topic???? like?????? WHAT????? it just makes it even harder for people to fact-check misinformation too.
going off the point of cutting corners when it comes to creating content, i can't help but think about capitalism's looming influence over all of this too. again, not as an excuse at all but just as further environmental context (because i really believe the takeaway shouldn't be "wow look how bad this one individual guy is" but rather "wow this is one specific example of a much larger systemic issue that is more pervasive than we realize"). a natural consequence of the inhumanity of capitalism is that people feel as if they have to step on or over eachother to get to 'the top'. if everybody is on this individualistic american dream race to success, everyone else around you just looks like collateral. of course then you're going to take shortcuts, and you're going to swindle labor and intellectual property from others, because your primary motivation is accruing capital (financial or social) over ethics or actual labor.
i've been thinking about this in relation to AI as well, and the notion that some people want to Be Artists without Doing Art. they want to Have Done Art but not labor through the process. to present something shiny to the world and benefit off of it. they don't want to go through the actual process of creating, they just want a product. Easy money. Winning the game of capitalism.
i can't even fully fault this mentality- as someone who has been struggling making barely minimum wage from art in one of the most expensive cities in america for the past two years, i can't say that i haven't been tempted on really difficult occasions to act in ways that would be morally bad but would give me a reprieve from the constant stress cycle of "how am i going to pay for my own survival for another month". the difference is i don't give in to those impulses.
tl;dr i hope that people realize that instead of this just being a time to dogpile on one guy (or a few people), that it's actually about a larger systemic problem, and the perfect breeding grounds society has created for this kind of behavior to largely go unchecked!!!

USAF U-2 Avionics Technician tells why S-300 and S-400 SAMs would not be able to shoot down the SR-71 Blackbird
The SR-71 Blackbird
The SR-71 spy plane, the most advanced member of the Blackbird family that included the A-12 and YF-12, was designed by a team of Lockheed personnel led by Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, then vice president of Lockheed’s Advanced Development Company Projects, commonly known as the “Skunk Works” and now a part of Lockheed Martin. The Blackbird completed its first flight on Dec. 22, 1964.
SR-71 T-Shirts
Tumblr media
CLICK HERE to see The Aviation Geek Club contributor Linda Sheffield’s T-shirt designs! Linda has a personal relationship with the SR-71 because her father Butch Sheffield flew the Blackbird from test flight in 1965 until 1973. Butch’s Granddaughter’s Lisa Burroughs and Susan Miller are graphic designers. They designed most of the merchandise that is for sale on Threadless. A percentage of the profits go to Flight Test Museum at Edwards Air Force Base. This nonprofit charity is personal to the Sheffield family because they are raising money to house SR-71, #955. This was the first Blackbird that Butch Sheffield flew on Oct. 4, 1965.
The SR-71 was designed to cruise at “Mach 3+,” just over three times the speed of sound or more than 2,200 miles per hour and at altitudes up to 85,000 feet.
During its 24 years of service, the SR-71 Blackbird gathered intelligence in some of the world’s most hostile environments. The Blackbird evaded all the missiles fired at it and, to this day, remains the only USAF aircraft to never lose a crewmember associated with it; whether in the air or on the ground.
But could the SR-71 be shot down by missile systems such as Russia’s S-300 or S-400?
SR-71 Blackbird Vs S-300 Vs S-400
But could the SR-71 be shot down by missile systems such as Russia’s S-300 or S-400?
‘Looks like I’m going to give the only “no” answer so far,’ Damien Leimbach, former USAF Avionics Technician on U-2 aircraft, says on Quora.
‘The S-200, S-300 and S-400 are amazing platforms, and given their stated performance, the 300 and 400 could probably hit a target at the Sr-71’s speed and altitude. But that is not the same as hitting an SR-71.
‘Now, could those missiles shoot down the version of the SR-71 that existed in the 70’s or 80’s? Sure.
USAF U-2 Avionics Technician tells why S-300 and S-400 SAMs would not be able to shoot down the SR-71 Blackbird
S-400 SAM
Tumblr media
‘But the question was could it shoot down the SR-71 if it were still in service, and if it were still in service, it would have received the same jamming and Electronic Warfare upgrades as other planes have.
‘Would these EW jammer upgrades make the plane immune from those missiles? Yes it would.
‘How do I know? Well, because I spent 6 years, recently, working on the sibling of the SR-71, the U-2 and as an electronics specialist I was directly responsible for installing and maintaining the AN-ALQ 221 jammer that made our high flying (but slow moving) plane immune to those missiles as well.
‘The U-2 and the SR-71 don’t just take pictures. They listen to cell phones. They monitor radios. And they also listen to, record and analyze the frequencies, pulse rates, variable modes and power outputs of enemy SAM systems like the S-200, 300 and 400.’
Knowing everything about S-300 and S-400
He continues;
‘We know everything about them. We know how they work, so it’s very easy to design systems to defeat them. The -300 is 1970’s Russian technology, which makes it about as sophisticated from an electronics standpoint as 1950’s American tech. The 400 is just an upgraded version of that. But we’ve had a long time to study them and build electronic countermeasures.
‘When the Berlin wall fell in 1989, and East and West Germany reunified, the very first thing NATO did was go in and scoop up all the Russian military tech it could find. We got T-80’s, We got Fulcrums and we got entire missile battalions worth of S-300 missiles.
Tumblr media
SR-71 print
This print is available in multiple sizes from AircraftProfilePrints.com – CLICK HERE TO GET YOURS. SR-71A Blackbird 61-7972 “Skunkworks”
‘When other very poor nations like Belarus and Moldova split away from the USSR, we bought other stuff, like Flankers, Hinds, and more missile systems.
‘Only Russia, China and India operate the -400, but as much as they want access to American markets, I’m more than sure we’ve been allowed to peek at the equipment, and a missile or two may have fallen off a truck somewhere.
S-300 and S-400 could not shoot down the SR-71 Blackbird
‘Maybe its cheating a little, but buying out the competition is the American way. The point is, we know exactly what their missile systems can do and we’ve known for a long time. We build those upgrades into the U-2 and if we still flew the SR-71, we would build them into it as well.’
Leimbach concludes;
‘So, no, if modern weapons can’t even take down the U-2, they could not shoot down the SR-71.’

Wait can wild cats and domesticated cats mate with each other?
Also
Wolves towards dogs: WHAT DID THE HUMANS DO TO YOU?!
Warthogs towards pigs-wait they still the same pigs just a little docile
Cats towards their wild counterparts-Okay are you guys any different? Also how the hell the felines created such small beings?
Gonna start with the one you didn't ask but I will still bring up, since all members of the camel family can breed with each other and obviously I'd know about this one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They can do it with a few other animals too, Cama 2.0
Tumblr media
Wasn't sure about cats and other cats though so I looked
Tumblr media
Looks like no on the sand cats, there's a cat that's the "Scottish Wild Cat" I decided to look up.
Tumblr media
That'll take you to a post featuring Cromarty the Scottish Wild Cat at the Northumberland Zoo singing her "feed me" song if you're curious about them.
Tumblr media
This is not a pet, and it's not fair.
Thank you reddit for making this easy to find
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you Quora
As for the last bit, this is Moggy and her adopted child, the orange one is Moggy's natural child who they eventually had to remove because it was a bit too small to play with it's adopted sibling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also because Russia just be like that, here's from the St. Petersburg zoo, except this guy broke into the enclosure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not to be outdone by the rooskies Malaysia has a zoo where a cat decided they wanted to live with the capybaras, and was popular enough to even get added to the sign.
Zoo Negara Malaysia is very pleased to have Oyen around, because attendance it up as a result and that means more money for conservation projects.
This is probably 10,000 times more involved than you expected, and I have no answer to the question why I went this far with it other than I like learning and I hope maybe someone else will like learning too. __________________
I tried to triple check everything for accuracy, so if I got something wrong I'm sorry bout that it was not intentional and will be happy to correct it with the proper information.
Unless you try and convince me the cat/llama isn't real then I know you are a scoundrel and a liar and will call you as much.

where the fuck did anakin get those credits to give to c-3po for his market run in tcw
i’ve been trying to find solid info about if the jedi get paid by the republic for being part of the grand army. it makes sense, to me, that the jedi (that are part of the war) have to be on payroll in some way and paid with currency they don’t use so they recycle it in some way. donate it to charity, back to the republic’s cause, to the temple, or just let it collect virtual dust.
but all i’ve found is flimsy quora shit i have no idea is sourced from somewhere and it might as well be someone’s opinion saying: “no the jedi don’t get paid because it’s against their code of conduct. they fight in the war because it’s for peace etc.”
i get that jedi in the order do not get paid simply for being in the order. their clothes, their food, their rooms are all provided for them. financed by something i have no idea what.
they have no need for money, which means that the republic could see them as a way to save a penny. but one of the benefits of paying someone to do a job is that if they screw up that job then there’s someone to blame. they’re registered, and they’re held accountable because they’re getting paid to do something and they didn’t complete it.
i know the jedi would never intentionally screw up things, but i’m thinking in the eyes of the corrupt republic.
but it makes sense that the republic is like, “since you’re a literal general, here’s your salary for being a general.” because that’s just the normal general salary ™, and it just so happens that a jedi is now allowed to be a general. what’s the jedi supposed to say? “no i’m just going to volunteer.” i guess that makes sense too?? there are volunteer soldiers in all kinds of historical wars. but if the republic has the funds to employ, would they not use those funds? volunteer soldiers were used when their side could not possibly finance them. at this point, the republic is still very much capable of employing soldiers with pay.
all this and it’s just to help me justify anakin gets paid and keeps money in an account somewhere because he feels like he’s not allowed to use it on himself but uses it on everything else. ship parts, droid repair, you, etc. he’s lowkey a sugar daddy you don’t even realize how loaded he really is bcos he never talks about it.
but he’s also got broke boy energy 😭someone fucking sedate me i cannot stop going back and forth

Donald Trump has crushed his rivals in the Iowa caucuses. Should they drop out and let him take on Biden?
From Quora:
Let’s be honest, we all knew this was going to happen and the entire country and by extension the world were bracing themselves for it. However, the biggest news were the exit polls, 2/3 say they feel Trump won the 2020 election and the Biden Presidency is illegitimate, 44% said they were MAGAS and they would vote for Trump even if he was convicted of a crime.
Tumblr media
DeSantis and Haley are road kill at this point. They had their chances, Haley could make it a little closer, DeSantis will stay in only for the inevitable losses to come and drop out within a month, 2 at the most.
The real issue is this one:
Tumblr media
Joy Reid accuses White Christian Iowans of wanting to have people of color 'bow down' to them
Reid argued that evangelicals support Trump because they believe 'immigrants' and 'brown people' are 'illegitimate Americans'
Ok so what is it going to be folks. Trump has a 90% probability that he is going to win the Republican nomination, what are the Democrats going to do about it. Trump owns the evangelicals, all the mocking about him not being a Christian, the anti-Christ, none of them give a damn. He is their guy, their Jesus and he can say and do anything that he wants.
The General election effectively began last night.
The Republicans have made their agenda clear. Biden stole the election, doesn’t matter that everyone knows he did not, doesn’t matter how well he has led the country, doesn’t matter that Trump inspired and led an insurrection against the USA, what matters is what they believe.
Now what do the Democrats believe. Don’t even bother trying to convince evangelicals who have their Jesus martyr victim grifting them for money. Don’t think about those MAGA hatted folks, they want Trump.
There are 40% who are now ‘independents’ in the USA, they hold the balance of power. The Iowa caucuses have very few people but they have spoken for the Republicans, they want Trump, they worship and adore Trump. Trump could shoot them all on 5th avenue and they would gladly bow down. That is the GOP today.
Democrats, start your engines. No more whinging about Biden didn’t manage to overturn the Supreme Court decision to get your student loans cut, sorry kids you will have to pay, not as much as he did get you $50 billion back but not enough for you perfect kids. Millennials ditto, your raises were only 20% this year in your nice cushy jobs. Same for you African Americans, you are complaining the loudest, we hear you, you want more but you won’t get more if you don’t get up and vote for Biden, you will get nothing as Joy Reid has pointed out, you are illegitimate Americans to Trump supporters.
Same for you Latinos, you want to ‘bow down’ to Christian evangelicals. How about you classic Liberals, you like that Christian theocracy because if Trump wins it is surely coming. Oh and you Israel supporters bitching and moaning about Biden who is the strongest Presidential supporter of Israel ever, you don’t like him? Think about what Trump will give away.
Ditto to Ukraine and European supporters, you don’t want Trump, then you better wake up. How about those transatlantic Brits, you and the Aussies who are so dependent and deep in on AUKUS and everything else Biden has done for you, time to step up and support Biden.
I could go on but on the other side, the Saudis will clearly screw around with oil to raise the price of gas to push for Trump who will give them everything. They hate it that Biden is focused on renewables and the lies of Trump on Biden and oil? Hahaha what a joke, Biden is pumping more than Saudi the most oil pumped in the history of the world.
Putin is dancing in the street, he feels he just won the war in Ukraine. Make no doubt about it, Putin wants Trump as does Xi Jin Ping and every other authoritarian including Netanyahu. You like war, you like death you like the end of democracy on a global level, vote for Trump. He will take you down with him.
Oh and yes; Lies, lies and more damn lies you can see them coming. Daily, hourly ever more outlandish than the last ones.
This is the beginning of a 10 month campaign, buckle up, it is going to be the wildest and most important one in US history. Not hyperbole, reality.
Let’s get to work and make sure Trump gets crushed right back in November, 2024.

Hey! Hope your having a good day
Do you know if npd savior complex is a real thing (I’m doubting myself) and if you could explain it to me (use simple words if you can) I did try to look it up online but it was just quora and Reddit ableists talking about how it’s abusive and how to destroy the narcissist and how to avoid a narcissist (I think you get it)
Hopefully you have a good ableism free day 💚
(Putting Josh Dun here so I know that I was the one who sent this)
Yes, the NPD "savior complex" is a thing!
A savior complex (also called a "messiah complex" or "white knight syndrome" is when someone feels like they have to help others to a detrimental point for themself and those around them. One may feel that it is their duty or that they were "called" to it, leading to their feeling responsible for helping others. On the other hand, those with savior complexes may feel like they have to help others in order to gain something such as praise or attention. Some common traits include:
Wanting or feeling like you need to help others
Wanting better self-esteem or self-worth (the WebMD article mentions that this is different from narcissism which I think is utter bullshit lol)
Codependency
Thinking you know what's best for others
Craving power over others (the WebMD article says that a genuine want to help others may become a need for power)
Feeling superior to others (the WebMD article notes the white savior complex)
Fantasies of omnipotence (knowing everything)
Trying to change people (new hobbies, behavior changes, etc.)
Always needing to find a solution
Making excessive personal sacrifices (time, money, etc.)
Believing you're the only one who can help
Savior complexes are common in those with delusional or psychotic disorders, as well as bipolar disorder. Based on the traits listed, I would be surprised if it was rare in people with NPD.

A story I stumbled across on Quora... A widow and her children rent the house next door to you. While her religion is different, you welcome her to the neighborhood, but when you learn she actually plans to *buy* the house you’re shocked, you thought the HOA would not allow “those people” to outright own property in the neighborhood. You appeal to the HOA, to no avail, and one fine day she signs the deed and holds a house warming party. You’re furious. The very next day you and your extended family attack, trying to kill her and her family and take over her home. Surprisingly, she puts up a fight. You manage to kill one of her children, but she kills one of yours, and breaks your legs too. You’re now in a wheelchair. The law doesn’t act, and in fact you now collect a monthly paycheck due to your disability. You take the money, but you seethe at the injustice, tell the neighbors how the widow is actually squatting illegally in the house, and how she broke your legs and put you in a wheelchair. Some neighbors actually buy your story, others know you’re full of s#$t but still take your side, because you’re buddies and of the same religion. You then learn that it wasn’t just a random house the widow moved into. Her family originally built the house, but her great grandfather was kicked out by the HOA, which at the time had restrictions on religion. She was also kicked out of her previous home, again due to her religion. She’s doing well now, is hard working, has a great job, makes tons more money than you, has powerful friends. Over the years she has repeatedly offered to bury the hatchet and live side by side in peace. You dismissed these overtures and are now even angrier, and shout your victimhood from the rooftops, collect donations from naive strangers that feel sorry for your handicap, but you use the money to secretly stockpile weapons. Occasionally you have skirmishes, which you always lose. The woman builds a taller fence between your houses and gets a reinforced door. You’re not on speaking terms. You teach your kids that the highest goal in life is to murder your neighbor and die in the process, a sure way to get to heaven. One day the neighbor forgets to lock the door and you, still in your wheelchair but with your wife and kids, grab weapons, break into her house intending to murder the entire family and finally “take back what’s yours”. You manage to torture and kill one child before she and her children beat you to a pulp, kill your wife and another three of your children (you have *a lot*), cross over to your house and tear it apart. You whine about the injustice, and accuse the widow of ruthlessly attacking a cripple, murdering women and children, planning genocide against your family and destroying your home. The end of the story is still being written.

Hi, welcome to my annual reflection on ✨the workplace✨
Each summer I have a student job, and each summer I wonder how in the world I will ever survive an entire life working from 9 to 5 when I can't even stand it for one week. It drives me crazy. When I come back home, I'm too exhausted to do anything productive but I still stay awake until 1am scrolling online so that I can trick myself into thinking that I'm enjoying the life I live.
I came across a few posts from people sharing the same concern. Someone on reddit or quora suggested that after finding what you didn't want to do, you actually wondered what you wanted to do.
Well, first, not work lol.
And, secondly, well, write. The first thing I want to do when I wake up is write. It has been my passion since I learned to hold a pen. Writing helps me understand who I am and understand the world I live in through characters who are their very own person while also being a part of me. Oh, I love creating characters! I love ensemble casts, with diverse and varied personalities (I'm talking about re-pre-sen-ta-tion), relatable or not, with complex but also plain relationships (romantic relationships, platonic relationships, queerplatonic relationships, family relationships, etc.). As a black and pan woman, I mostly write LGBTQIA+ stories with many people of color.
Yeah so um, to go back to that reddit/quora advice, I wondered: could I write for a living? Not write one or more books and publish them (well, also, ngl) but write for people. I mean have you ever had an idea you wanted to write or read but never got a chance to? Well, I think I'd like to fulfill your dream. And if you let me, you might also fulfill mine: find a meaningful way to navigate through what I like to call adult life (which can be translated into making money by doing something I actually like).
So um, after just one week into my new job, here I am, tumblr, trying to ✨capitalize✨ on my passion.
My name is Céleste D. Ocean, and I'd like to bring your imagination to life...and make you pay for it, of course.

HOW TO HELP PALESTINE
Hello! To help Palestine win against Israel, you can do many things, even from home! I’ll be listing the things YOU can do to support Palestine.
Boycott companies supporting Israel
Stop buying from companies supporting Israel
Protest
Sign campaigns against companies supporting Israel with money (ex. is #NoTechForApartheid, you can go visit the website at notechforapartheid.com, it’s free and it’s easy, it’s close to its goal of 87000, currently at 85566)
Spread information about the ethnic cleansing, genocide, Palestine history, etc. either online or offline (yes, even if you have a small platform, do it, each person talking about it counts.)

History of Palestine and Israel history (sourced from Quora by Ghassan Khalid Barghouti, a Palestinian, edit: this post was published four years ago):
“First of all, let me give you a brief history of Palestine. Palestine was originally a province of the Ottoman empire akin to a US state or a Canadian province and then got occupied by the British when the Ottoman empire lost in WW1. Current independent countries such as Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon were more or less a part of the Ottoman empire. While each of these countries share similar culture and social make up, their exist some difference, and the people of these countries that were mentioned got independence from the British empire expect for Palestine.
Palestine has an Arab and Islamic majority and a sizable Jewish minority. Some of those Jews lived peacefully in Palestine for generations, some even go back to the Kingdom of Israel. But the larger portion of those Jews came from Europe to escape persecution. They came to Palestine as refugees and they largely lived side-by-side with Mulisms and Christians.
Everything good so far? Now, unfortunately things from there on weren’t as good. Because the world sympathized with Jews as a result of the Holocaust, they decided to grant them a country in Palestine (which didn’t even have a Jewish majority). So naturally the Arabs rejected those move, because for them, it didn’t make sense that you should lose your lands just because another group of people suffered by another group of people were not even part of your continent. So they resisted. Unfortunately for them, the extremist Jewish militias were more organized, and they killed lots of simple farmers and villagers and forced others to flee, and denied them the chance to come back to their homeland after the war was over.
Now forward to the present. You have Jewish-European state sitting upon a land that once had a Mulisms, Christians, and Jews living on it, who were Arabs and many of them identified as “Palestinians”. These Palestinians are now either, second-class citizens in Jordan, or living a very uncomfortable life in the Westbank with checkpoints all over the place, walls separating territories, and extremist settlers living in among them, and sometimes abusing or burning their victims alive.
What do Palestinians want? They want justice as a start. They need to have their land back, and not being refugees anymore.”
I am so sorry that this is a short stamp but these are general things to know on what to do/the history of Palestine and I hope you help, listen, and support. I hope that the Palestinian people are saved and given their beautiful country back.
If I made any mistakes with this post, please let me know so I can correctly share it. Thank you for reading and supporting, I hope you have a good day.

Howdy!
I recently saw a reply you made in a post about feeding unfinished fic to large language models like ChatGPT. In there, you said that free-to-use AIs are "free to use because the company who makes them is actively profiting and taking aspects like phrasing, style, etc." I've heard of variants of this idea but could never figure out where it came from. Can you tell me more about the origin of that?
Well I'll start off by saying I'm not an expert in the field, and that AI technology is actually relatively "new" in terms of very recent rapid developments and it's in this stage where the future is generally uncertain. However, as early as now, people are already using AI for commercial works. There was a movie announced where all backgrounds were made with an AI, and a manga that was made near entirely with AI. The rhythm game Cytus has recently drawn ire from fans and even its own creators and designers for using AI generated art instead of the very stylistic art it used to use. The moral and economical issue here would lie in that they still charge the same amount for the game and it's already a game that is criticized by some for its high price point compared to other rhythm games. So not only are they earning more, in a way are putting less effort into the game. Those who purchase it would essentially be paying more for less and the money would not be going to the artists because their styles will have been copied but they themselves wouldn't be credited or paid.
Now for a more direct example, I've also heard reports that publishing houses are being spammed with hundreds of purely AI generated work. This of course directly negatively affects writers trying to get published if only by uhhh what's the word,,,, adding a bunch to the pool (sorry English is my third language).
I myself do writing for companies overseas by editing and writing the info on their websites. As someone from a third world country, this contributes to a good chunk of my income as the local economy is not great. Due to the recent popularity of bots like chat GPT, the market had dropped by a LOT and while at first it was my primary source of income, its not really sustainable anymore.
Now these examples don't all use language based examples but they do show that the creation of AI art forms so far is mostly just harming artists and from the examples such as Cytus and just,, life in general I suppose, as "young" as commercial AI is, we can likely assume that corporations don't intend on making their AI for purely wholistic reasons. The art AI midjourney was even found using stolen art after saying that they don't. AI writing, I believe, is going to be more finicky than AI art and as such, I expect theyd want to do a lot more fine tuning before using it to write whole textbooks while art bots are already being used on book covers and movies, only because you don't need to fact check art.
Sure people can see something is wrong, but with the sheer amount if it used, it's rapidly adapting to fix the anatomical issues in its art. Written work I think would need to be double checked a lot and by a human before they release one making bold claims such as "You can't buy food but you can buy paint thinner from home depot instead" (an actual AI result generated by Quora when I was trying to find a place to eat that Google tool as the top rated answer on the website and proudly presented to me). But that doesn't mean it won't eventually go as far as to take someone's job entirely. It's already starting to take mine.
For a clear cut example, sorry to say I can't name one myself, but you can look at the way AI is already being used this early on and how it's already being used to substitute and replace some artists and writers and how apparently even fanfiction writers who do their work out of love, and look just a few years in the future based on the patterns that have been happening and the way corporations will always value profits over the heart of what they make, and for most the picture of what will happen is a very grim one for art.
The "Origin" of it differs from person to person. Some artists have seen their art put into AIs and their styles mimicked (art which will be very difficult to claim the person who generated it shouldn't be allowed to use for commercial purposes). Some writers who write more boring industry stuff that is very easy to mimic are getting their jobs taken away from them. Others without firsthand experience can only look at examples or patterns and infer a probable and large scale outcome similar to that of Cytus. All in all, to me the backlash and opinion that AI is copying peoples works is more of a social movement with no clear cut origin but a lot of evidence that points towards AI generated writing and imagery being a bastardization of the work of hundreds even if it's just a lot harder to see when it comes to a non visual form of art like writing.
Hmm I think if you want a clearer answer or example, the best personal one I can give you is an article I edited which was so poorly written I sent it back and they had a different writer do it. When it got back to me it was better, but extremely familiar. It repeated phrases from the OG article and had the same problems I had noted (strange wording, odd vocabulary, etc) so I asked them if they had wrote it. Apparently they just put it into chat GPT and told the bot to rewrite it without changing too much, so the bot mimicked phrases and words but changed the flow by adding conjunctions or paraphrasing, but to me, who has read the first persons work several hundred times, I still recognized the style, if I can call it that. The person profiting wasn't Chat GPT, but if the state of AI art is anything to go by, in a few years it could very well be.
(sorry about the long reply and if anything is messy or hard to understand. I am not an organized thinker.)

Bpp can you pls share the source of that article? It's so fascinating how idol contracts work. Do you know the share of revenue hybe takes? They weren't named in the source but they suggest hybe takes only 20%?? Is this true?
***
Hi Anon,
Normally I'm pretty open about sharing research papers (anyone still interested in that 2020 Harvard study btw, feel free to hit me up), but this particular one is proprietary so I'm afraid I can't. But you can find those numbers corroborated all over the internet - reddit, quora, twitter, etc. Like I've said, a lot of this is common knowledge for many people who have been here for a while. And yes in that study, HYBE is shown to take only 20% - 55% of the revenue split (varies by agency), and this is also inferred if you back-calculate their financials, and in staff testimonials on Blind and elsewhere - HYBE pays some of the highest in artist/personnel salaries in Korea. Here's another source of an American staff personnel saying HYBE paid even better than any job he did recently (he also met Suga lol).
This is one reason why I personally unlook when people here talk about how HYBE is money-hungry and what not. Because a good amount of that money goes directly to the artists, and that's better than the norm in the industry.
For example, where SM has the incentive to sabotage their own idols so long as those idols remain locked with the company since SM gets 95% of any revenue that comes in anyway - sacrificing near-term growth for long-term revenue stability; HYBE has the incentive to maximize revenue any way they can, because that's the only way they can grow their profits - they can't skim off more from the idols since they're contractually limited, they can only do more with those idols as often as possible, to maximize revenue to both HYBE and the artists. It's not perfect (HYBE gets more of the cut from merch I believe), but it's more win-win than a lot of what happens in other agencies.
It's another reason I ignore a lot of the mistreatment theories for HYBE/BigHit, because once you start looking at the numbers, it makes even less sense for BigHit to sabotage their artists. But like I've said, many of the narratives in k-pop come from SM stans, who do have reason to constantly worry that company enslaves their idols.

I just have to say, I’m not new to the internet.
But…the internet continues to disappoint me. There I am, I find wholesome content or whatever.
But people on the internet keep trying to ruin everything.
I’ve been watching Squirmy and Grubs videos for a while and I’ve been learning more about Shane and his writing career, his condition. Also his wife Hannah, etc…
Tumblr media
….I go to look up more information about them and I see so many videos/reddit posts/Quora posts pop up, claiming that Hannah and Shane have to be faking their relationship.
Tumblr media
That Hannah simply can’t be attracted to him, that she’s got other guys on the roster or whatever and/or she’s just in it for the money. Or she’s disgusting because she has a weird fetish. Or just how “something is off”.
Tumblr media
My brothers in Christ…
Why is it so hard to imagine that an interabled relationship is real? They literally happen all the time everyday every where.
What has Hannah ever done to make you think she’s just in it for the $$$ and isn’t attracted to Shane? Oh I know, she committed the crime of being beautiful.
If you’ve ever watched Shane, he’s a really funny and interesting dude who has written books and accomplished quite a lot. But he committed the crime of being disabled I guess.
Please stop 🛑 collaborate 🤔 and listen 👂 to people who are disabled and in interabled relationships. People like Shane and Hannah are putting out information for you for free, trying to educate you and honestly they do it in an entertaining way. They don’t have to.
Tumblr media
Honestly the main point here is to stop assuming what disabled people want or need and try to listen to those who choose to talk about it.
If you are skeptical or uncomfortable with some of this, I suggest making yourself familiar with spokespeople like Squirmy and Grubs, and checking out the resources they put out into the public.
I also suggest watching Molly Burke’s channel, a Blind woman who has been traveling the world spreading her message about the Blind community.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve learned so much from her. I learned that I assumed a lot that I shouldn’t have assumed. And that’s the point of resources like these. You don’t know what you don’t know.
There’s a lot off innocent assumptions people make but the thing I’ve noticed about certain people that talk about their disabilities…they generally have a good amount of patience and kindness to people who don’t understand yet.
If you feel bad for what you said or did, try to do better and move on, don’t beat yourself up or anything. Just do better.
I just feel like, if you’re going to take the time to go on Reddit or Quora or Youtube and debunk people’s relationships, whom you don’t know and spread assumptions…take that time instead to put away your phone and go touch some grass.
But…before you put the phone away…
great video to start with:
