Gygax himself and some modern commenters have made the point that dungeon crawls are an inherently masculine fantasy but so much of the media I grew up on was "a high school girl is put into a death maze but at least in a maze you can decide where to go" that I will never agree

Do you ever wondered if Terry Pratchett is the same kind of communist as you are? Have you ever found strange how there is always a quote from a Discworld book and yet the footprint of these books is so light? Say no more, The World is a Flat Disk is here for you www.spreaker.com/episode/intr...
Introduction - The World Is A Flat Disk
spreaker.com
📣 New Podcast! "Introduction" on @Spreaker #books #communism #discworld #fantasy #leftist #literature #pratchett #queer #terry #trans
Introduction
In which we introduce our method, and why we are reading through the books of Terry Pratchett, namely, the Discworld series. Our degree of experiences, the methods we will apply, our fears and expectations.

I do not object that the model is not sufficiently conscious, I object that the structure of generative AI can only produce statistically likely approximations of real people's art See the papers on how, given a description of an image in the training set, the algo will reproduce that exact image
If yes, you have to agree that personhood isn't sufficient for the right to free expression. If no, then the use of copyrighted art to train an AI can't be wrong in principle. You can only object that the model is not sufficiently conscious or not sufficiently a person.
I move back to my parents' in a bit over a week and between tickets and shipping some things the expenses are stacking up. If anyone could spare some help so I can get meals for myself a little more stress-free I'd deeply appreciate it. ko-fi.com/sanguineclad

I'm starting to think that one of the most critical skills one can develop in the modern era is the ability to look at some stupid fucking shit that sucks and go "damn, this is some stupid fucking shit that sucks" instead of "wow, what an interesting premise for a philosophical logic problem"
If you're opposed to machine learning making outputs based on training on copyrighted art, are you opposed to ai in general doing it, or opposed to the current types of models doing it? That is, if you had C-3PO, would the same rule apply?
What boils my piss about the "originality" of harry potter is that as a series it gives not one shit about actual mythology from England or anywhere in Britain. Centaurs aren't British. The fuck is a Veela. Fucking Magus Bride cares so much more about your homeland's mythology and it's Japanese

everytime one of you doesnt buy one of my games you are actively damaging my chances to one day live in austria and become an austrian
I've been putting my art out there as much as I can, but i've not gotten enough orders to make it. I need to hit at least $600 before the month ends. I had to hold off on getting doggy shampoo, because it was that or meals for a few days. I'm sorry for always asking for help. ko-fi.com/reinav
Looking for recommendations for a friend for freelance romance editors. Short story to novel length. Hit me up, especially if you're the editor in question. (what was once obvious now needs to be said, if you're using AI to "edit" I'm not interested)

So you know how the owner of Palantir, Peter fucking Thiel, is living in Argentina now? Apparently there's a standing group of Gandalfs protesting at his house

Sorry I can't help but be a little mean about thoughtless gender essentialism. Read my books they are brutal and full of very flawed but beautiful women that are occasionally awful to themselves and each other and self-actualize with selfishness or violence or both if necessary.
