I was gonna change into a swimsuit for this, but I forgot. I had already retaken it once and wasn't going to wait for another entire day cycle to get back to sunrise.

Look, I'm gonna be honest, I'm pretty sure I've done a similar pic with a similar prompt in the past. Still, I took this like, 3 weeks ago at two in the morning desperately trying to make the most of the last few minutes of my sub. So, yeah. I'll try to do better with the rest of them. No promises.

As Koana watched Brona dance in the twilight to the sound of the waves and the music drifting down the beach from the cantana, he realized that he was truly in love with her.

The move being used is actually Soul Slice, but that doesn't sound as cool.

hrothtober day 4 - twin

during his time on elpis koel often found himself thinking about azem, and wondering just how close their supposed resemblance to each other really was.

Took a small break on my sub, but couldn't pass up that fancy new event costume. Swapped back to Windcaller for the event. Probably gonna indecisively switch between that and ambitious ends a lot from now on.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.
