I definitely agree that it comes a BIT out of left field and needed more to make it land solidly but the scene was about Edgwin realizing that HE wanted his wife back, but Kira wanted her family, and her family is Holga. He has to finally put his daughter first.

It feels so weird to talk to one of my biggest inspirations as a writer (hi refrigerator monologues changed my life thank you for l writing it) like this but…when I watched the film, Holga was actually that kid’s mom in all the ways that mattered, and that’s what that wordless discussion was about

Me when I see the divine family: amazing, beautiful, incredible fights and characters, we love badass and tragic figures

me when i see that jackass wrym with ten thousand health and the insanely-painful lava vomit crawl with hitboxes that make me physically grimace: YOU

(amazing art!)

im trying to parse this and i can feel my brain struggling

I'm still so broken up about Sinder, honestly. Sinder along with Amalee were the first two vtubers I actually got into, and Sinder's yt channel was a source of comfort in a pretty rough time. Then I wake up two days after my birthday and boom. All of those videos with her friends... man.

perhaps the funniest reply I've ever received, thank you. bluesky pvp is wild

All it can do is create what someone else asked it to create with no understanding of anything but a pattern of pixels cobbled together from real art that it does not understand either, and deliver it to you so that someone else can claim they made it.

It's not art. It's a compounded lie. 5/5.

Finally, I would like to say something to you, as a middling writer and amateur artist. Art is inherently human. We have been doing it since our barbaric ancestors first put rock to cave. It is at it's core, based around the euphoria of shared emotion.

A machine cannot share anything with you. 4/?

The complete lack of regulation around gen-AI has already lead to a slurry of "AI revenge porn," a particularly awful form of harassment women are already facing online. This technology doesn't just steal from artists and consume needed resources, it is being actively used to hurt people. 3/?

Additionally, generative AI has already been noted as a point of concern by ecologists, as the server farms required to have these programs run consume an EXORBITANT amount of electricity and water, two resources that pretty much all of modern civilization is founded on. 2/?

So, let me break this down for you. To begin with, putting aside any debates over the actual definition of what art is, generative AI cannot create any image without stealing from preexisting sources. That isn't just supposition or a theory, it's fact. 1/?
