hermes having a bad day that's worsened by the fact that he hits his head on every branch and doorframe
"ai is in everything you just have to accept it" aka "poop particles are on everything so you may as well just eat poop"
Oh so it turns out Brio has has undisclosed actual AI code (original coder has a disclaimer) that made it into main for 4 months now How the turn tables the glass houses throwing stones etc
Moose, I like you, but Brio also has AI code and there's no disclosure about it anywhere. PRs: 215, 216, 217, 218, 221, 222. These are around 4 months old now. The contributor's fork even has this: github.com/SolarisFFXIV...
i will never be angry at people using gposing tools to make works of art i will never be angry at devs who Did Not Know contributors who were seemingly helping out were using ai i have infinite hatred for people who introduce that into a creative space and expect people to be okay with it

if they make actual change for ktisis, then i'm glad. i'm just disappointed it ever got to this point in the first place
here's your community consultation, if the devs are reading: any integrity you had is gone. the harm you've done has a real life impact. your enablement of ai is contributing to this. www.forbes.com/sites/victor... islandpress.medium.com/data-centers...

the ones experiencing the worst effects of AI the most are poor, black neighborhoods which is why you people dont care btw. 👍🏽
"teehee burning through the world's supply of water for my ffxiv gposes!" FUCK YOU
KTISIS TOO??
obvious ai slopcoding aside, please don't use this even as a joke. "ai moderation" means your shit will inevitably get leaked or misused
Am I paranoid or am I justified in my squinting

arm's length is free mitigation (20% slow for 15 seconds), and if you are a tank you should let your melee pull a bit so they can pop it for trash mobs before taking back aggro from them
#wolqotd #ffxiv What's a helpful tip you've discovered/learned about the game and feel like more people would benefit from knowing? (And this shouldn't need to be said, but no shaming people for not knowing about certain tips. None of us knows everything about this game.)
dragoons and their need to aura farm sickens me
