#and when i got to this part i felt sick

This is so fucked up.

That $150 an hour job? Its using fucking chatgpt or midjourney:

$150 an hour. For stealing other peoples work. For knowing how to use a tool that steals other people's work. This is the type of revenue pro-AIbros are protecting. They don't care about art. They don't care about creativity or honing their skills. They care about how they can write a fucking prompt (which isn't hard, there's so many tutorials online. Its like, the easiest type of programming ever if I can even call it that) $150 an hour. For MAYBE some photoshop skills to make the image not wonky (but tbh they probably outsource that work for cheap knowing them).

Artists are getting hugely fucked over not just morally, but financially.

However this does show something major:

These companies COULD be paying artists. They are WILLING to pay AIbros $150 fucking dollars an hour for the easiest job in the world. This should anger every worker, not just the artists who've been stolen from. These generators need to be shut down or at least scrubbed of stolen work.

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

I hate it, and it nearly killed my hyperfixation

But I understand my opinion on this may affect others, and many may be hurting from this episode soooooooooo

… “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” it’s such a freeing realization, zomfg /gen /pos

[robinsnest2111]

hmm. just remembered how just until a few years ago I wouldn't consume any media with real life actors/too realistic of an art style, only toony or highly stylised animation and what most would consider "kids media"...

wondering what that says about my childhood/teen years and my mental health

i need to talk about this because apparently i have been delusional ALL my life.

tonight, i joined a watch party where we watched rise of the guardians. i have only seen this movie once in my childhood, and no other times after that. all i remember is liking it, and a few twists. like jack frost being dead etc.

one of the twist i remember was the first twist of that kind id ever witnessed, and it broke me as a kid. it was with the sandman.

basically the sandman dies, they all mourn him for the whole movie, etc. towards the almost ending point of the movie jack goes to the main room with the globe and is seeing it failing. he then sees dust or something?? i don’t remember. and realizes that it’s the sandman. and the sandman appears behind him being revealed as a traitor and jack is all heartbroken etc, because his dead friend is alive, and tricked them the whole time.

the sandman talks basically about how like nobody gives a fuck about the sandman, and the bogeyman was right. etc. this was like the biggest plot twist to me as a child, it stuck with me so much the imagery, the scene, the sadness i felt. for like YEARS, i hated the sandman 🦧 i’d see him in promo and go, “oh yeah the dude that betrayed the other guy.”

i rewatched it tonight. THAT SCENE NEVER HAPPENED. THE SANDMAN NEVER BETRAYED ANYONE, I JUST MADE IT UP. i feel lied to by myself, like the memory is so vivid it’s odd 😭😭 like i hated this tiny sandman for actually years just for him to be a silly little guy 😭😭 what was up with that past megan.

Hello I’d like to ask about “SQ thing” “immune” and “whistle” if it’s not too much trouble. These all sound good, and I’m very excited to read them!

Hi!! Thank you for always being so nice and supportive :D

"SQ Thing" was honestly a gut reaction to this lovely thing by @cptnwynnie, and is about SQ and The Sister :>

"Immune" is actually an ironic title now that I think about it, and kind of a dumb concept. It's another SQ fic! But it's about him having an isolated/weak immune system from living on the island and so he just gets sick a lot.

(All of my inspiration for SQ stuff comes from the exquisite @sqenthusiast so please go read their fics!!!!)

"Whistle" is a Milligan fic that I'm actually kind of excited about! It's supposed to be like a series of vignettes or one of those "5 + 1" kind of fics, but it's giving me a real hard time at the moment, especially since I'm still not confident in writing the adults

It's astounding how one thing can ruin your entire day and destroy your entire emotional state.
