kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

BSKY DIDN'T TELL ME I HAD NOTIFICATIONS AAAAAA

I don't have too much left thankfully! Trying to pace myself but a new WoW expac just came out so that's eating all my time LOL

Alcremie will probably be a bonus project once I have everything.

I am also happy to do trades for shinies I don't have! I have a TON of shinies from Go, Scarlet, Sword, and PLA that I'm happy to trade away.

This is including regional forms! What's not included are those with multiple forms (Furfrou, Vivillon, and Unown come to mind) and gender dimorphism, but I'm going after those too.

I'm not quite insane enough to complete Alcremie tho 🤣 I'll do all the different toppings once and see how I feel.

Something I've been working on this year is completing my living shiny dex! I'm very close, about 266 away. Nymble is my most recent catch (I have Lokix already).

(You're just gonna have to deal with phone pics cause I'm too lazy to transfer them off my switch)

And a few shots of my tavern #AzerothInteriors

A little library nook I made! #AzerothInteriors

I think it’s really hot of me to have never used chat GPT

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

I built a blade liger a lil over a week ago or so, so the trinity liger has a friend

I've been going through a LOT in the last decade or so and I know I've withdrawn and gotten distant.

I genuinely appreciate everyone that's still here with me. I think about a lot of you, even if we don't talk nearly as much as we used to at some point.

TikTok is already being turned into a propaganda machine.

A lack of ability to see criticism can persuade users to think that means there’s (unanimous) support.

That, AND it’s collecting your data for whatever purpose it wants, & I bet at least a few of them you’d be horrified by.

Just delete it.

There's a flock of turkeys I come across every now and again, and I've come across them again today.

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.

Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

I don't want gen AI in my browser
I don't want gen AI in my pc
I don't want gen AI in my art
I don't want gen AI in my games
I don't want gen AI in my music
I don't want gen AI in my movies
I don't want gen AI in my books
I don't want gen AI in my cart
I don't want gen AI in my life
