While I do consider myself fluent in english, please keep in mind that it's still not my first language. That plus my autism can and in the past has caused some miscommunication where it can appear that I say things that can be read one way and interpreted another.

Even my boyfriend, who was not familiar with the original whatsoever, once walked by when I was playing the game and he commented on how aggressive the music was. Like, it was noticeable.

Nick of the stars 🌟 @bahusch.bsky.social · 6h

I actually kinda hate it. It's so loud, some of the original melody gets completely lost in the mix and it just gives me sensory overload. I like the variations used in shops but the main version just made me aggressive after a while. I always had to turn it off for longer sessions in Rogueport.

Reminds me of when a friend googled "What dinosaur species is Baby Sinclair (from the show Dinosaurs)?" and the AI just said "It's not a dinosaur, it's a puppet"

Very helpful

"The creatives don't understand we can't ask for consent because then our AI wouldn't work and we wouldn't want that, would we?"

Actually, yes, we would. We know your AI can't work if you ask for consent and yet we ask for it.
If your tech can't work on ethical grounds, it shouldn't exist.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Exxactly. If they didn't bother to keep it, why should we bother keeping it exclusive to them? They don't deserve it.

I mean, sure, it's not Twitter, but neither is Twitter so what's the difference really?

It's too annoying to be like "I saw a tweet, well it wasn't a tweet because it was on bluesky, so I saw a post that said..."

I'm gonna call these tweets. It's just easier. I'm not calling them skeets because I'm not 14 years old. I am too old for all of this.

Had an account with an anti-trans username like one of my posts recently too. Was a new account too. Instant block. I think it was a bot.

Once in art school my teacher thought I was refusing work because I froze up everytime he came looking over my shoulder. He then told me to leave the room or he'll get the principal.

So it really was a Pikmin teaser

Unless you're playing the Switch remake. Sometime after that scene they place a stationary Toad there you can jump off instead.

It's not that difficult as far as RPGs are concerned. If you're going for 100% then maybe. Otherwise you should be able to go through just fine.

Is it just me or is asking someone who is sitting on a bench where they are allowed to sit to stand up/move over because you want to sit next to your friend who sits next to them kinda rude?

A cool tool if your goal is data theft

Nick of the stars 🌟 @bahusch.bsky.social · 1d

Even such an AI would need regulations by law and could be easily misused. It would still not be able to actually make art. It should still not be used in the professional creative field in place of human artists.
It would at most be a toy for private use. It wouldn't be worth the effort to make it.

Nick of the stars 🌟 @bahusch.bsky.social · 1d

Even if an ethical use of GenAI can be found that replaced nobody's job, it's not gonna be more than a toy at most.
I don't think the tech needs to exist and if this is how they're gonna do it then I'd rather it didn't. Art was perfectly fine before, nobody asked for this.

Nick of the stars 🌟 @bahusch.bsky.social · 1d

I'm studying graphic design right now and I'm like the only one against GenAI around. My bosses, my teachers, other students all think it's the coolest shit ever. I only see anti-AI sentiments online. If it wasn't so omnipresent in online spaces I'd think I was the only one who hates it.

Wasn't it also OpenAI who said their tech can't work if it's not trained on copyrighted data?
Well, if it can't work on ethical grounds, maybe it shouldn't exist.
If legal restrictions kill the industry, then it's an industry worth killing.
