genAI is dying repost to make it die faster

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

Found out that I can mention @cityofreno.bsky.social about this problem on bluesky, too, which is nice. Fully just didn't expect that at all, which is why I opened twitter in the first place.

correction: bsky.app/profile/did:...

My twitter post didn't get fully deleted, more like... unlisted? I can't view it on my posts, or my reply on my replies. I can't find it via search. Direct link via ctrl+shift+t DID pull it back up, though. x.com/ViviansUsern...

This is a correction on this bskeet: bsky.app/profile/vivi...

To be clear: I am fine with doxxing myself to this extent, when I live in a city with flock cameras in every goddamn parking lot. My general location is publicly available to literally anyone with an internet connection, with a bit of digging <3

Opened twitter for the first time in a while. Made a post pinging the city of reno, where I live, and flock safety, about flock's unencrypted cameras, which are accessible to everyone. Post got INSTANTLY deleted. Public forum my ass. No way to 2fa, only, "pwease cwick things 🥺" desperate mfers

AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe's will be fine without your $20, actually

"Buh walmart is the only place I can-" for most of you, no it isn't. If it is, that SUCKS, and is a direct result of how anti-competitive walmart is. Do what you are able to.

"buh purchasing this Ubisquare-blizzEArd game is the only way I can-" you can do literally anything else with your time.

Boycott 'em all. It's so much easier than you'd think. Yes, your favorite megacorp, too. Going out of your way to support small businesses and individuals, to the best of your ability, is one of the most effective way you can drive change. Still do the work, but... some of the work is REALLY easy.

Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that

But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out

in an era where companies do their damnedest to replicate the Most Art(tm) possible... making whatever the hell you feel like, however you want, with your goddamn flesh mittens, is one of the most rewarding things I do, personally

This is Snimon.

The horrors of man are beyond his comprehension, but you know what isn't? A good leaf. You seem like you could use a good leaf. He worked VERY hard on this one.

yoooo I've been boycotting them based on vibes alone for over a year already.

Chanting "don't short micron" to myself rn

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs The wholesaler is the latest company to file a lawsuit against a federal agency over the president's signature economic policy.

this is going to be a fucking shitshow, lmao

please don't call it that

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

So I Accidentally Wrote a 3D Renderer in Scratch.. and a Compiler... YouTube video by Vivians Username

Finally got around to editing the showcase for this project from a few months back. Definitely not the first of its kind, but we have another 3D renderer in scratch now. It's only 6 minutes, and I actually voiced this one:

youtu.be/1F6nBiwfkKk?...

ehh sure this goes here too, this not a threat to anyone but myself

Three bottoms book a night at a love hotel, but nobody comes

Also: only just now thought about how you're out here largely defining the shape of clothes with just a few lines, and gd, I struggle get that to look right *with* multiple shadow layers, how tf

Clean, hard lines; mostly flat colors (like, before highlights/shadows.. the base coloring?); cell shaded (clean, defined transitions between highlight, neutral, and shadow) with largely point/line highlights; exaggerated/heavily stylized anatomy (chibi-ish head and neck proportions)

(BLG compilation) Best of Paper Mario TTYD - Full Movie - like gd this thing is 10 inches at least YouTube video by Vivians Username

Sure, I'll bskeet about this one, get a few more algorithms about it. Been working on the @bornlosersgaming.bsky.social thousand year door compilation since june. j u n e. How long lets plays run for hasn't hit so viscerally before.

Yes this is the first thing I've written here, I've got an itch I need to scratch. Probably going to tape an RSS feed to posting from this account when I get around to making the site presentable. It's not exactly there yet, I'm hardcoding my goddamn css for some reason-

"I should write another post for the website" will not stop being followed up by "wait it's not actually live yet" immediately after writing the post, until I actually declare it good enough to make it public.

I'm just not going to stop forgetting until there's nothing to forget
