  • exist in part to belittle actual artists for the sake of boosting the treat printers (or the treat printer prompters) to artist status

    that's what's so insane to me. for the longest time, STEM folk were all about 'artists aren't worth respecting' 'oh arts degree? just put the fries in the bag lmao'

    then suddenly AI art comes about and then it's 'look at my art! AI makes better art than anyone and it's imperative we dump everything into it! you must respect my AI art! you must treat me like an artiste'

    and now that it's clear it's a grift, it's 'art is dead, we will never beat AI, artists are back to not worth respecting'

    once again, tourists visiting every creative medium they can to try and find fresh rubes for their machine

  • you say in your other comment that people are defending IP hoarding by defending people on the small scale, but right here you do the exact same thing in reverse - using the morality of piracy on the large scale in order to win an argument grounded in the small scale

    people are saying 'small artists that eke by are getting screwed out of compensation for their labour' and you're chiming in with 'why are you trying to stop me from pirating from Marvel?'

    you're either purposefully being obtuse about this, or you genuinely are so focused on validating your own piracy that you're talking right past the conversation entirely

  • Unfortunately I think that’s a bit of a liberal argument. It ascribes some ineffable quality to human creativity that AI cannot replicate.

    every single time the AI argument comes down to this. "oh you just don't trust AI cos youre a rube who believes in a soul" no motherfucker I'm just not some fucking anti-intellectual who has decided, apropros of NO research into neuroscience, that I know how the brain works and it MUST be analogous to something algorithm based machines can understand

    you genuinely don't know what you're talking about, and you have to take so many intellectual shortcuts to derive your position that you are not worth taking seriously

  • Art is dead, dude. It's over. AI won. Humans lost.

    me when I totally understand art and respect the medium I want people to give me clout for

  • there was a time where I was younger and was convinced by lib PF fans that Roger Waters was crazy and all the rest of em get it

    i know this is a joke of a cliche, but they couldn't make Animals today - the rest of the band would be too lib to let something like that slide

  • wouldn't be surprised, i luckily don't have an algorithm that serves me that but the crowd is one hundred percent from the chud Gamer-sphere

    you can tell because they start off getting mad that 'the Official Godot twitter account is blocking customers who replied in good faith' which is already laughable, and then when you press them on it they go on about how politics is going to make Godot go broke (also laughable)

  • im so glad that the term tourist has gained the meaning it has - cos that's what all these people complaining about 'woke' godot are

    tourists looking to try and pick a fight with the indie game dev crowd, and you know they aren't part of that crowd cos if they ever even interacted with it once they would know how fucking queer and anti-capitalist our scene is

    pro-tip: do not look at the reddit comments for this whole controversy, so many motherfuckers in there who are so clearly just drive-bys

  • i mean, to me it very much looks like a corset/bodice/bodysuit, considering the lace goes right down to her crotch, but either way we're now entering 'she dresses horny because it makes her feel empowered' territory of male-driven treatistry

  • i like how she's super badass, wearing all this armour on 90 percent of her body, wielding those massive guns and yet the artist still took the time to have her pose to push her boobs out, which are coincidentally the most highlighted part of her figure lmao

    they just can't help themselves

    eta: i just looked a the full picture - i didnt realise she was wearing a mask, meaning her boobs are the ONLY exposed part of her lmfao

  • been playing a bunch of Satisfactory, gotten myself to Tier 7 which is the furthest I've gotten

    also been throwing in some Deadlock, been having a bit of fun with that now that I know what I'm doing

    thinking about picking up Ultrakill or replaying some Doom 2016 for some level design inspiration for game dev stuff too :)

  • AOC is doing what the unions wanted her to.

  • the implication is that you are so good at X that things that would be affected by X cower in fear when they see you, that you basically have a reputation for that specific thing

    in the case of wings, its that you are so prolific at wing eating that other wings are scared when they see you

    in the case of unsucked penises, the implication is that they won't be unsucked for long

  • the small text at the bottom is the Frederick Douglass quote 'freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude' over and over

  • dunno if it goes harder but i've always thought the cover for It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back went hard

  • man i was really looking forward to getting back into RoR2 :(

    fuck the big publishers, i need more indie houses taking the lead and maybe one day we'll bleed them dry

  • i saw this tweet yesterday and as a game dev and designer it legit made me mad

    it's the same shit AI bros do every time - they have to dumb down the meaning of the thing they're trying to imitate poorly, because they have to shift the goal posts to pretend that what they do has any legitimacy

    this is in no way a game engine, and trying to pretend it is requires abstracting and dumbing down entire fields of study these nerds have never even dipped their toes into

  • main

    Jump
  • i finally actually watched the fast and furious movies in the last year, I'm up to number 8

    nobody told me it was a found family RL anime, its insane

    i believe this characterisation 100 percent
