cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

One hundred percent. The character of your art comes from the work you put into it, not the idea that spawned it. That’s why AI writing is doomed.

Anyone can start a website and then get a sponsor to support it!

I could start a website called "Rabbits are great" and then have it be sponsored by antivaxxers but we ain't gonna scold the rabbits about it

Ain't nobody out here sponsoring a DAY

It makes sense--if no one's getting paid anymore, no one can afford to purchase their broken software anyway. It's win-win!

Which is how I know

Bunnies get way more excited when you pick flowers for them than boyfriends do

But first he found a thousand ways to NOT invent pornography

I thought you meant Paradise Lost haha

Aspiring writers are always so worried that someone is going to "steal their idea" and I'm like my friend, my colleague, my spring hatchling, that is like leaving cans of paint on your porch and worrying that someone will paint your house

Nobody asked, but:

I think the biggest pitfall of sci-fi/fantasy storytelling, especially for worldbuilders, in the infodump.

You're (rightfully) just so proud of all the work you put into creating a cohesive setting that you just wanna PUKE it all over readers/watchers on page one.

This happened to me. Someone argued me out of my religion and then I was pretty fucking broken for a long time and I suspect they regretted it.

Remember the Brady Bunch Movie? That was 26 years after the initial air date of The Brady Bunch

The Brady Bunch movie was 30 years ago

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

Nooooo I threw out all my HDDVDs

It's linking to the wrong timestamp for some reason. It's the William Henry Harrison song joke

Is it possible to grow out of existence? Asking for uh science reasons

Bob the Angry Flower strip. An angry woman holds up a sign that reads DEPORT THEM ALL. Bob says, "Look, lady... I'm just saying... letting yoruself get whipped up into a hate frenzy against your neighbors? Not a thing anybody ends up being proud of! It's real "Lie to the grandkids" type stuff! Don't you GET that?"

And that's when you really start making art

Or it might mean that they believe they are some of the only moral people and others are only feigning morality to score political points

This has been a common theme among my conservative family members

well damn

One huge eyeopener for me has been how many people apparently believe everyone else would excuse sex trafficking if someone they liked committed it

Yo it'd be funny as hell but uh I'm pretty sure this is fake?

The two lines are written in a style inconsistent with the rest of the emails and they're in a totally different font

Also, Trump has never in his life done anything with someone else's pleasure in mind

I missed that one!

How come nothing ever disappears into fat air
