foxes-in-love.bsky.social
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable. Green: Would you still love me if I never got better? Blue hesitates a moment before answering. Blue: What a silly thing to ask. Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore. Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.

The new feature nobody wanted

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels: Panel 1. A dark and mystical laboratory, with shelves lined with dusty jars of oddities and strange artifacts, a dark witch, dressed in tattered black robes, is tired, her desk scattered with parchment and strange devices. She looks frustrated and confused. On a perch near to the desk stands a colorful mechanical parrot that contrast with everything. > Witch: Of course, we wanted crows, and the university gave us this... Panel 2. Close-up on the parrot speaking cheerfully: > Parrot: :sparkle emoji: Greetings. I am a conversational Avian Intelligence model, developed by OpenMagic to assist you with your spells. > Parrot: What can I help with? Panel 3. The witch's face looks at the mechanical bird with annoyance. > Witch: "Shut up, you... thing." Panel 4. The parrot continues. The witch now have her face against the desk. > Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: I apologize, but I won't engage in conversations with hurtful language. Can I assist you with something else?"

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

The quintessential aesthetic of fascism
4 frame comic. 1st frame shows a frame from the ai video of trump dumping shit from a plane. Text reads : here's why i think ai art is The quintessential aesthetic of fascism. 2nd frame shows a frame from the trump Gaza ai video. Text reads : Its the closest that oligarchs can get to artists' power to create universes out of thin air. 3rd frame shows ai picture of trump as a pope. Text reads : they see art as a threat because it questions and deciphers the myths, dogmas, lies and illusions that fascism is built upon. 4th frame shows a frame from ai video of mysk dancing with trump. Text reads : ai art being soulless, depthless and uncritical is a feature... not a bug.

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?

Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

How the hell do you get Bluesky to STOP suggesting interests?

It's getting a little aggressive with how much it's trying to force sports ball gambling shit.

I mean I get people are paid to profit off of rigged gambling, but ffs, be subtle about it.

anyway here's my twitter post from two years ago explaining my decision to quit VO since it's a) not here and b) a little relevant to things I'm sharing lately
I wanna talk a little more about my choice to quit pro voice acting. As you can tell by now, a lot of it is related to the deeply personal pain I experienced in voiceover. I’ve talked about losing jobs because I’m a YouTuber. I’ve explained how I’ve been hurt and dismissed. What you don’t know is that I’ve only talked about some of it. I will not talk about all of it, because it is incredibly painful and because I have no interest in starting drama. But the people in VO who’ve hurt me extend way beyond the ones I’ve mentioned. And I just wanna ask. Why? Why is it so hard for some of you to be decent? As someone who is a quiet, reserved introvert, so many actors have said SO MANY awful things about one another in front of me without thinking. Because they assume it’s fine. It is not. I entered the industry hoping for a modicum of success and maybe some work here and there. I just wanted to do a job that my skills seemed appropriate for. Some of you treat this shit like a high school popularity contest, right down to the childish bickering and behavior. I defended myself from a smear campaign recently. I was able to do this because frankly? I have a sense of virtue and what is right. That is who I am. Some of you in voiceover treat being a basic good person like it’s a fucking complex obstacle course and it BAFFLES me. I have seen, time after time, actors or directors behave horribly - and almost all of you say “well I know they’re fucking awful, but they’re a connection I need to get work.” And I can’t blame you for that at all. But holy shit, it is disappointing on a colossal scale. The people in the industry who have hurt me - the ones I haven’t talked about publicly - are people you all heap praise onto. People who are successful and y’know, good for them. I don’t want to take that from them. But they took so much from me when they chose to hurt me. Part of the reason last month’s bullshit hurt so much - one reason of many - is because people in the industry have tried to tell MY story without MY consent. Like it’s gossip. Like it’s fun to share with other actors while hanging out. It’s so fucking ugly and despicable to me. I don’t NEED to be in professional voice over. It is a fucking job. But some of you act like it’s literally all you’d ever consider doing, and as such it is a clubhouse wherein you decide who is allowed in and who should be outcast. And from the outside looking in? It’s so sad. I don’t like bringing any of this up. But you’d better believe recent events stirred up old wounds. Undid so much healing. I assumed professional VO would be a more mature environment than the YouTube parody scene. I cannot understate how disappointed I was to learn otherwise.

Two humorous social media posts about cats believing their owners can control nature, like rain and sunlight. Transcribed Text: Feline_Tales My cats have this meow that means “please come with me to fix this” after which they’ll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or ‘empty’) food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the ‘problem’, they look back at me, clear message. What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my ‘power.’ I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. “Please fix this” they say. “Please get rid of the wet” “Silly kitty,” I say, “I can’t control the rain.” I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain. purrfect_logic I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that. But I can turn lights on and off in the house and he’s fairly certain I’m just not applying myself properly here.

I'm happy to take this opportunity to share this awesome pamphlet made by @xerxes.gay

If my memory serves these have been distributed since at least well over a decade ago.

"Fandom" has always rubbed me the wrong way in relation to furries. The distinction does matter.
FURRY IS NOT A FANDOM How we became radicals, punk rockers, rebels, and a revolutionary subculture without even trying. FANS OF WHAT? We haven't been about Bugs Bunny since the 80's. Comic fandom, Star Trek fandom, video game fandom, they all revolve around the output of an industry. Furry grew out of the absence of corporate products catering to our needs. We weren't happy just watching Disney and Looney Tunes over and over again. So we made our own culture. Furry is not a fandom. It's a scene. We're old-school punk rock, not the Bieber Fan Club. We create our own characters, our own identities, our own images, our own stories. Fandoms have creativity, but it's all riffing off of a product dictated from above. Furry is bottom-up. Everything comes from our ideas, our roleplaying, our experiences, and our culture that we create. Any furry who rises up and attains some kind of celebrity status does just that: they rise up. From us. Those big-name authors and comic artists who sell books at cons are all writing fan fiction of our brains. In a fandom, the fans are there because of the big names. In furry, it's the other way around, and the big names know it. You can go up to almost any "celebrity" furry and make friends the same way you would with any other fur. We're a scene. A culture. A community. A big, global family. There's nothing wrong with fandom, but don't call furry one. Because it's so much more. ANTI-CONSUMERISM In the furry economy, mass-produced products aren't the star of the show. Most of our money isn't spent buying stuff, it's spent creating stuff. We commission artwork, but not to hide it in a bookcase. We put it online to share with the world. Every commission is one furry buying a gift for the whole community. The art gets produced, and now it's there for everyone to enjoy. Even conbadges and avatars - the most utilitarian, "fashion accessory" form of furry art - tend to end up contributed to the commons. Most economies are powered by the idea of replicating a product and selling it over and over again to different consumers. Furry art operates in a radically different way, through making individual contributions to the common wealth of our culture. Think about how subversive that is. Think about how threatening that idea could be to the elite 1% if we could make the whole world run that way. As furries, we're already living it. PACK MENTALITY As furries, we're not afraid to love each other. We'll cuddle no problem, sometimes without even needing to know each other. In public, no less. We can spend a good portion of our convention time just turning off our brains and enjoying the raw, primal feeling of companionship with relative strangers. We never shake hands when we meet new people. It's always a hug. This pervasive feeling of love is what helps us build such a strong community. Local furry groups often become close-knit extended families. We form bonds stronger than blood relation. We put the camraderie of church and religious groups to shame. By putting ourselves into an animal state of mind, we manage to shake off heaping layers of civilization and social conditioning weighing down on us, and connect with each other on a level that's almost unheard of in modern society. SEXUAL LIBERATION Furries aren't afraid to celebrate our sexuality. We're not ashamed of it, like so much of mainstream society. We don't think it's weird to be gay, bi, or straight; to be monogamous, open, or polyamourous; to be reserved about sex, or to be as open as a porn star. We're picking up where the free love hippies of the 60's left off. We challenge the traditional social order about sexuality, rejecting the idea that there's anything "unacceptable" about it. What society might normally condemn as debauchery or pornography, we celebrate as beauty. For some of us, our animal identities are a major part of exploring our own sexuality. For others, only the openness of our community is a factor. But as furries, we all tend to have a much more positive, healthy view of sexuality than the rest of the world. We know that sex is human, it's animal, it's human-animal. FURRY IS RADICAL. FURRY IS SUBVERSIVE. FURRY IS REVOLUTION. We have no audience, because we're all the creators. We have no idols, because we're all on the same level. We have no inhibitions, because love is beautiful. We have no consumerism, because we're all producers. LET'S EMBRACE OUR NATURE AS MISFITS AND REBELS. FURRY PRIDE. SMASH THE MUNDANE. SHARE THIS PAMPHLET WITH ANOTHER FURRY AT THIS CON WHO YOU HAVE NEVER MET. SPREAD THESE IDEAS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND DISCUSS THEM ONLINE. FEEL FREE TO MAKE COPIES OF THIS PAMPHLET AND DISTRIBUTE THEM AT YOUR NEXT CON.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian
