hey guys im not going to get into the copyright issues or what constitutes art (personally i think art is when something is presented with the intention of being appreciated aesthetically or prompting emotion or thought) because that's a lot more based on personal ideology and stuff, but I will let y'all know that item b is a little more nuanced?
ai training and the like do use quite a bit of energy, and studies show that a single ChatGPT query uses around 3 watt-houts, ten times more than the average google search. however, the average one person (usamerican) household uses 20.11 kilo-watt hours per day, so if we say, asked ChatGPT to write our history essay for us (don't do this, ChatGPT is more often than not a source of misinformation), that would be about 0.015% of our average daily energy usage. this post and this article here put the numbers more in perspective.
data centers (not specifically ones that host ai models) use 1.5% of global energy at most so if ai is going to destroy the planet it's certainly not going to be the only thing destroying the planet.
AI people: we're just as much artists as you are, you gotta be so observant and go through so many correcting phases for the picture to look good uwu also AI people:
#bugposts#dont look im discoursing#also maybe im being a little too utilitarian here but i would much rather prefer that pornbots and the like use ai generated images rather#than real people who exist? like. if my friend posts a picture of herself in a bathing suit online and it gets used in ai model training an#the data taken from that image is eventually used to generate another picture of a woman in a bathing suit for a pornbot i would#prefer that over someone just. using the original image#i do agree that the artificial intelligence name is dumb though#much more accurate things out there#anyway no matter what your political opinions are its always nice to say things that are true and back up statements with sources

"but what if you want to detransition?" what if? i won't, but really, would that truly be the end of the world to you? if i suddenly identified as a woman but still looked like a man? is that truly so bad? why is that so concerning to you? i used to look like a girl now i look like a man. so what if later in life i magically want to look like a woman? who gives a shit? people change. a far more important thing is that right now i am very happy with the way my body looks. i am happy with who i am. if i want to change that later on then i will. i have changed before, and i survived it. i thrived on it. and im so happy right now. if what makes me happy changes later in life then ill just have to change again. what are you so afraid of?
#it's almost as though people's true fear is someone of one gender that looks like the other#mine#not to be taken seriously#personal#cw discourse#discourse#detrans#i love being me#if i change later in life ill simply learn to love that new version of myself#but im so happy right now that i dont think i will#so why won't you just let me be happy

Can anyone who knows Uglies explain what the hell changed that just 10 years ago it was considered great and groundbreaking and now I see nothing but people saying that it's dumb and uninspired and has no point or meaning?
#uglies#uglies series#actually tagging it because im genuinely curious i seriously do not get it#like ????? what#i havent read the books nor have i seen the movie btw. treat me like a 5 years old who has just stumbled upon the most incomprehensible#discourse#like from my position the premise seems pretty good so i dont really see why everyone is hating on it but perhaps the execution sucks?#which i wouldnt know because. again. i dont know anything.#all i know is that its a book series and a movie adaptation about the beauty industry and photoshop that poses the question#'what if instagram filters were real and mandatory because instagram baddies ruled the world and made everyone think they were#ugly and hideous and needed to be retouched to look sexy and hot and slay and if you werent sexy you lost your human rights'#which to me actually sounds great because i despise filters and retouching and beauty standards and i hope instagram burns in hell

Isn't it insane how whenever you say anything discourse-related like discussing the possible harm of micro labels or the pride flag discourse people always jump to yelling "THE CISHETS SEE US ALL AS BAD SO STOP FIGHTING AND CRITICIZING." As if the only reason why we'd ever criticize our own community would be to make us look better to our oppressors and not for generally improving our own community? Like. No one even mentioned the cishets. But you sure did, dude! Wanna talk about that?
#queer discourse#disk horse#when i say 'dont call me queer' im not doing it to look better for the cishets. im doing it because it makes me uncomfortable#removing autonomy from my own wants and needs and making up this version of me that doesnt exist so you feel better about yourself#is not the move#lgbtq+#lgbt

The thing that kills me about the Star Wars prequel trilogy and why I will die on my hill that my problem is not that Star Wars is a tragedy, its that its a badly written tragedy, is that Anakin Skywalker was at his closest to being a good Jedi when he was ten years old.
#im not an anakin apologist by any means because I get the point of his character and Im not pro or anti jedi#my only real opinion on all of it is similar to what I was saying about Peter and Tony and the MCU yesterday#its badly written. its EVERYONE being contorted into shapes that dont make a ton of sense in service to#getting characters to where they need to end up for certain things to occur#my opinion is not that Anakin is inherently bad or good or that the Jedi are inherently bad or good#its that their entire conflict was set in motion by forcing the Jedi to act in ways that felt massively OOC when they were#first interviewing him as a kid and like.....I ACCEPT that the Jedi are supposed to be for the most part kindhearted and empathetic and all#of that which is why its so noteworthy in my opinion that this does not match with how they were FORCIBLY portrayed in those early movies#in order to ENGINEER the idea that this kid in desperate need of support but already with a lot of good instincts and positive traits#came to the order of kindly supportive literal empaths and everything went downhill from there#like kindly supportive literal empaths would not in my opinion look at a kid trying his best to be brave & stoic in completely intimidating#circumstances and surroundings and be judgmental and fairly dismissive about it as though theyve never met a kid before let alone a#traumatized one and the fact that thats kinda what happened is in contrast to how a lot of pro anakin people frame that NOT proof#that the Jedi order are inherently bad its that in that key scene and multiple others#the Jedi order were BADLY WRITTEN in pursuit of one pre-determined outcome that mattered more to the script/Lucas than#being true to their core conceit and characterizations. and thats just one example out of dozens I could list and the same holds true for#anakin's side of things so thats why I always steer far away from SW discourse#because Im like the problem with the characters in terms of the most iconic arc is not really any of the characters so much#as the plots refusal to let them actually consistently BE characters rather than just fixed and contrived stepping stones on the way to#the desired endpoint

i dont like spike or angel hate bc its always like ‘this one did something worse than the other’ like they were both serial killers . they both did questionable shit with and without souls. i dont uhhhhh care. im operating on fantasy supernatural show rules both of these guys would suck objectively irl but theyre not real. why are u watching the show about fucked up people who save the world and date fucked up guys (gender neutral) and complaining about the fucked up guys they date. stop putting ur fave on a pedestal by calling the other one a creep or whatever they are the Same. also they are kissing each other on the mouth.
#buffy is watching .#im a spike girlie but also an angel defender .#why is the btvs tag full of people w like 2010s level discourse brain poisoning#tbf the posts COULD be from the 2010s like who is watching that except me and the active buffy blogs i follow#but also when im tryin to look in the spangel tag could u maybe not post spike hate ?#dont like seeing angel hate in the spike tag either but i guess thats slightly more acceptable#bc its not an angel specific tag#anyways we must all ban together to hate xander#except season 7 xander kinda got ok again. my bf says he thinks joss whedon put himself more into wesley instead at that point#which. wesley did start to suck so goddamn bad#jordan talks

if this bothers anyone they can kindly feel free to leave or ignore it or whatever but can we stop flooding the x reader tags with half-baked thinkpieces on why people should or shouldn’t do whatever with their writing. every other post is “you shouldn’t romanticize [x]” “you’re problematic if you do [x]” “stop writing about [x]” “[x] is gross and if you write about it kill yourself” how about if you don’t like certain content you heed the content warnings, block the tags, don’t interact with it, so on and so forth. of course part of our responsibility as writers, especially ones dealing with sensitive topics, is to label and tag our works appropriately but let’s be real—i hardly see any writers (at least within the bsd fandom) who don’t make it abundantly clear what they do/do not write about, interact with, or tolerate. wait until you find out how much fucked up shit happens in real life and how much some person on the internet coping with their trauma by writing self insert fanfiction about a cartoon character doesn’t fucking correlate to the perpetuation of that fucked up shit at all. it doesn’t even have to be that serious. people are going to write and read the content they want and they’re allowed to and you spilling your complaints all over the x reader tags “to boost attention” isn’t gonna change that. if you don’t like something ignore, unfollow, block, mind your own business. it’s actually super easy
#notice how i’m gonna tag this discourse… because that’s probably an appropriate tag to use#discourse#also these posts are almost always riddled with kys sentiment. like okay what makes you any holier than what you’re criticizing#don’t even get me started on the whole fiction inherently affects reality#because of course it does#but it doesn’t HAVE to#almost like there might be some nuance#and black and white thinking doesn’t really apply to things rooted in the infinite ways human beings can experience things#yall ever heard of writing as an outlet? 💀#my detailed descriptions of dazai whacked out of his mind on hard drugs are not manuals for how to live your life btw#cause i guess that needs to be fucking stated#someone having a fucked up kink is not the end of the world. JUST DONT LOOK AT IT!#and if you’re writing dark/sensitive content and not tagging it im squinting real hard at you. tag your shit#tldr tags exist for a reason. use them and use them right? it’s what they were fucking invented for#some of u guys don’t pay bills and it shows#reid speaks.ᐟ#fanfic discourse

i wish people see the wuwa casts as their own characters, not just some "copycat" of certain characters in other gacha games just because they have the same color palette :/
#look its funny at first but its getting repetitive now...#i want to see other ppl's thoughts rambles opinions about wuwa's story and its casts but all i see is either hate discourse or ->#“OMG he looks like [redacted] from [redacted] !!?!?!?!2!2!!”#LIKE im sorry but they dont look alike at all ion see it#the horrendous shits ive seen about geshu lin my god even jiyan.....#wuwa#wuthering waves

Ok, im still on my break but this has been in my mind and i wanna fucking say something. Block me after this whatever.
We don’t know if Wilbur is Shubbles abuser, and we shouldn’t force her to tell us her abuser. Because not only is it endangering her, but also her abuser because if you didn’t know. Abusers are people too.
And mcytblr has this fucking problem that when someone is mean to their fave they must send death threats, and im sure if Shubble did that person would be in danger.
As well (take this with a grain of sault i haven’t seen shubbles stream due to my personal mental health issues) From what i’ve gathered is that her ex bit her, had a messy room, and had childhood trauma. Im focusing on the childhood truama thing right now but, yall do know that most abusers have been abused right? This isn’t to say it lets her abuser off the hook no it doesn’t, but to say that the little we know of Wilburs childhood doesn’t mean that he is immediately Shibbles abuser because he has childhood trauma.
Also. This whole thing is a he said she said type of deal. I constantly see people saying “Well this person who worked for lovejoy said this” and “this person said that” AND ITS LIKE. WHERES YOUR PROOF. IM NOT TAKING WHAT YOU ARE FUCKING SAYING AS FACT.
Also. People using “well Shubble didn’t say it wasn’t wilbur” is the stupidest reasoning ever. We have pushed Shubble into a completely lose-lose situation. There are no good outcomes for her, If she doesn’t say it isn’t Wilbur people will send death threats and complain publicly, but if she does say it wasn’t Wilbur people will accuse her of faking her abuse to ruin Wilburs reputation.
AS WELL WHAT ABOUT “Innocent until proven guilty” BECAUSE THATS ALSO SOMETHING WE NEED TO THINK OF THAT WE HAVE NO VERBAL CONFIRMATION FROM ANYONE THAT IT IS WILBUR, ESPECIALLY SHUBBLE.
This one thing has taught me that mcytblr is so fucking horrible when it comes to situations like this. Instead of thinking critically weve all just assumed and got to completely miss the point of Shibbles stream.
It’s not about her abuser, it’s about Shubble. Shut the fuck about Wilbur right now and worrying about everything you enjoyed of him makes you an evil person. And i cannot believe i need to seriously say this but go outside, touch grass, do your best to find a third place.
#also ill say this im supporting wilbur unless shubble says that it was him.#shubble#wilbur soot#discourse#abuse tw#abuse mention#tw abuse#olli dont look#ok. back to my break and thinking of old person drama

pride month is so fun to me because it means i get to see three hundred angry posts about whether cishet ppl should be allowed or kept out of pride written with the tone of that being a real problem that exists when you go outside into the world
#how would you even go about keeping people out from pride im serious. do we think theres someone asking for ppls gender/sexuality#before theyre allowed near the float/boats/etc or..... i just dont even know how i need to picture it#or like. a straight looking person getting approached by gay ppl and told to go home? what are we fighting here#never have i understood this discourse i fear#most of all because like. here at least pride is attended by at least 80% cishet ppl who just view it as a big party & excuse to daydrink#and if they want to how is that a problem.... i'd rather they do that than stay inside and not want to associate with pride???#personal

isnt this whole wilbur thing a huge warning sign against getting too attached to ccs, because we can never truly know them? why are we celebrating a few fans putting /150/ dollars + whatever the commission fee for the artist was into a birthday present for a guy who just.. doesnt know them? its not like merch or supporting a creator, its literally money in the wind. between this and merch dropping like clockwork but sapnap being the only one actually doing content (and hes clearly just doing it for the kick quota.. sorry but the streams are so lackluster), im getting really disillusioned with the dream team. theyre literally just coasted by because of a hyperdedicated fanbase they dont really seem to give a shit about. people talk about how amazing and kind they are but are they really? we dont know. why are we monetarily supporting millionaires its literally just charity but for rich people at this point, they dont provide any value in exchange. i think people should really consider why theyd rather drop ~180 dollars on a billboard for a rando instead of charity or buying something they want or need. sorry idk i just feel fed up with how much time and money and love i poured into these guys and in response were getting nothing. sapnap didnt even bother to denounce the abuser he used to interact with. i could have donated and actually helped someone instead of buying a fucking hoodie i cant even wear to school because id get bullied.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a little wake up call. They are just some guys that stream and make videos. You’d think the last few Situations™ would teach people to simply not put cc’s on pedestals and expect perfection from them. But you must realize that if you’re going to argue against people giving cc’s money, then you need to go all the way back to every single sub and donation they’ve gotten through twitch as well. It’s always been a luxury some choose to do because they get something out of it. They were never forced or tricked into doing it. And I don’t know how the Sapnap billboard was funded, but I donated to the George b-day billboard. Gave up $5 because I thought it was a fun community idea, and it did not impact my ability to donate or buy things I needed. It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that. It’s not a streamer's fault that you chose to spend money on them instead of donating.
If you’re upset by the lack of content, then entertain yourself with something else. People have been saying that for ages. If you think their intention is to continue promising content and never delivering just to squeeze money out of fans, then leave. I personally don’t believe that.
Dream believes he does owe us content, but we don’t get to decide when it comes. And you don’t have to give them a dime for it.
#vault talks#discourse#sorry if im a little blunt. i dont usually get anons like this lol#and yeah school kids can be mean :( im glad i didnt have to worry about this when i was in high school#if it helps at all. i wear my blindingly neon green dream hoodie out sometimes and no one has cared in the adult world#but anyway. i dont like to entertain regret. one day they will fully retire and that wont take value from anything they made before that#even if youre unsatisfied right now dont let that effect the good times youve had prior#edit: forgot to add: in case anon still sees:#also let’s not pretend sap and wil were ever close lol#geor.ge was the closest to him out of the three and he hasn’t said anything either. and he doesn’t need to. it’s gotta be hard :/#look at poor to.mmy#demanding responses is not the way
