Me, rambling to my wife about this crackpot theory I came up with in the shower about how Les Miserables may have been an answer to The Count of Monte Cristo, or at least could be read as such: ... But then Valjean didn't personally screw Javert over like Dantes' enemies did-

My wife: Are you sure Valjean didn't screw Javert? I thought I read that on AO3 once.

Design Look Back 02

The first model in this set is Lonely Singer Piko, who was used for Strangers by Heavenz-P and covered by Roseus 1215. He was based off the miku from the original MV, and in turn the Project Diva rendition. He was one of the last Piko's to be designed overall despite showing up so early in the concert. He was Designed and modeled by Maydayfireball.

Our second model is Angel Piko, who was used for Melancholic by Junky and covered by уυιкσ. This design was drawn before the concert setlist had been fully fleshed out. When уυιкσ decided they wanted to do Melancholic, it felt like everything came together perfectly. He was designed by Kimikeiki and modeled by Maydayfireball.

I tried doing some Katya sketches because I've always loved drawing hair and hairstyles and I thought she could be a good "model" because I feel like she would wear a lot of different cool 19th century hairstyles so yeah and on one hand I know I haven't drawn in literally two years but on the other hand holy fuck I want to burn my sketchbook

Also if you think the angel Aziraphale has ever heard the song "Take Me to Church" without being consumed by enormous, contradictory, and incompatible feelings you have another think coming let me tell you that. Not sure he can figure out what they are, mind, but there are definitely little gears turning away in there.

Doodle dump from the past few days.

This was a comic I tried to do with some characters. One is from an actual book (rangers apprentice, but its another thing of 'I daydreamed about it so much I forgot how he acts in canon' also in this au he's been kidnapped for like a gladiatorial arena and they have idk magic or smth and they experimented on ppl so now he and his new friends can turn into dragons (I'll figure out how later). This was just a comic of them crossing back into auralen (I also forgot how to spell it)

I also forgot a character so he's in the bonus. Haven't named them yet. The text sounds really choppy and cringey but I had fun drawing it so who cares ig

I was screwing around with an actual quill and ink. Cursive is hard enough but its way harder with thjs

More of the same. The top one I was liking until I smudged it >:[

Terrible quality colored version of the first girl from the comic. Does her appearance change all the time? Yeah. Oops. Her eyes are black bc I accidentally colored them in skin color (I'm practicing using my markers) so I made them black with the green iris. We're gonna say its bc she's about to transform.

I made this au but forgot I can't actually draw dragons. Or even ppl with dragon wings. So I haven't drawn them like that yet. I also haven't officially named any of them yet. But anyway. I can answer any questions if someone has any.

whats wrong with ai?? genuinely curious <3

okay let's break it down. i'm an engineer, so i'm going to come at you from a perspective that may be different than someone else's.

i don't hate ai in every aspect. in theory, there are a lot of instances where, in fact, ai can help us do things a lot better without. here's a few examples:

ai detecting cancer

ai sorting recycling

some practical housekeeping that gemini (google ai) can do

all of the above examples are ways in which ai works with humans to do things in parallel with us. it's not overstepping--it's sorting, using pixels at a micro-level to detect abnormalities that we as humans can not, fixing a list. these are all really small, helpful ways that ai can work with us.

everything else about ai works against us. in general, ai is a huge consumer of natural resources. every prompt that you put into character.ai, chatgpt? this wastes water + energy. it's not free. a machine somewhere in the world has to swallow your prompt, call on a model to feed data into it and process more data, and then has to generate an answer for you all in a relatively short amount of time.

that is crazy expensive. someone is paying for that, and if it isn't you with your own money, it's the strain on the power grid, the water that cools the computers, the A/C that cools the data centers. and you aren't the only person using ai. chatgpt alone gets millions of users every single day, with probably thousands of prompts per second, so multiply your personal consumption by millions, and you can start to see how the picture is becoming overwhelming.

that is energy consumption alone. we haven't even talked about how problematic ai is ethically. there is currently no regulation in the united states about how ai should be developed, deployed, or used.

what does this mean for you?

it means that anything you post online is subject to data mining by an ai model (because why would they need to ask if there's no laws to stop them? wtf does it matter what it means to you to some idiot software engineer in the back room of an office making 3x your salary?). oh, that little fic you posted to wattpad that got a lot of attention? well now it's being used to teach ai how to write. oh, that sketch you made using adobe that you want to sell? adobe didn't tell you that anything you save to the cloud is now subject to being used for their ai models, so now your art is being replicated to generate ai images in photoshop, without crediting you (they have since said they don't do this...but privacy policies were never made to be human-readable, and i can't imagine they are the only company to sneakily try this). oh, your apartment just installed a new system that will use facial recognition to let their residents inside? oh, they didn't train their model with anyone but white people, so now all the black people living in that apartment building can't get into their homes. oh, you want to apply for a new job? the ai model that scans resumes learned from historical data that more men work that role than women (so the model basically thinks men are better than women), so now your resume is getting thrown out because you're a woman.

ai learns from data. and data is flawed. data is human. and as humans, we are racist, homophobic, misogynistic, transphobic, divided. so the ai models we train will learn from this. ai learns from people's creative works--their personal and artistic property. and now it's scrambling them all up to spit out generated images and written works that no one would ever want to read (because it's no longer a labor of love), and they're using that to make money. they're profiting off of people, and there's no one to stop them. they're also using generated images as marketing tools, to trick idiots on facebook, to make it so hard to be media literate that we have to question every single thing we see because now we don't know what's real and what's not.

the problem with ai is that it's doing more harm than good. and we as a society aren't doing our due diligence to understand the unintended consequences of it all. we aren't angry enough. we're too scared of stifling innovation that we're letting it regulate itself (aka letting companies decide), which has never been a good idea. we see it do one cool thing, and somehow that makes up for all the rest of the bullshit?
