Watch out boys we got a city slicker
i’ll take “dialogue that hits harder when you’re trans” for 500, alex.
They force their religion on people on a regular basis, but when you mention that Jesus believed in helping the poor, they suddenly believe that it shouldn't be forced.
Hi new Tumblr users
Please know this sites hashtagging system is categorical and NOT clout based
Aka if I look up the “Wendell and Wild” tag, I should find clips, media, art and posts related to Wendell and wild ONLY. Same with any other random tag searched
If I spy a selfie, a random neighborhood, or any other kind of “insta” post trying to take likes for a popular hashtag, I’m reporting you for spam. Most other long term users will too and your acct will be fast tracked as a spam blogger and blocked.
You will not ruin the last non corporate site for us, especially by trying to treat this site like influencers matter. If you get popular, it’s bc you’re a clown w a skill not bc your hot or rich or skinny, got it?
the sexy girlbots are returning. nature is healing
It's like when they reintroduced wolves to yellowstone
YOU CALL THIS HEALING?!? I'M UNDER FUCKING SIEGE
i love them sm i wish gay people were real
Really beginning to prefer Tumblr to Twitter purely on the basis that when I say something like, for example:
We should feed every frame of Disney into AI art generators
Most people on Tumblr will immediately understand that I am not suggesting it as some sort of actual, workable long-term solution to the problem of independent artists' work being stolen
I am suggesting it as a goblin curse to make the lives of both the talentless artist-disrespecting AI art scumbags and the soulless corporate parasites at Disney very difficult and miserable, and people on Tumblr immediately get that
Posted the same thing to Twitter and I almost immediately got someone dissecting the tweet as "being indicative of how left-wing creatives will try to side with corporations when the subject of copyright comes up"
whoever was the first person to make the observation that transphobia against transmascs is rooted in this kind of paternalistic misogyny whever everyone asks like they're just poor confused widdle girls who don't know how to make decisions for themselves was so SO right about that. like I'm not even transmasc but it's infuriating to see these posts every other day being like "do you realize that these medical procedures are IRREVERSIBLE?? If you get top surgery it will PERMANENTLY take away your breasts. If you go in testosterone it will PERMANENTLY change your body??" When the obvious fucking response to that from anyone who's even considered going through with any kind of masculinizing gender affirming care is
Like transmascs (teenagers and kids included) aren't fucking stupid. they're not too ignorant or impressionable to make decisions for themselves.
Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?
Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn't see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you'd look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?
Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?
Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because people didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?
Do you know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?
Just wondering.
My favourite example of the domino effect
Allow me to explain:
- Gerard Way witnesses 9/11 and as a consequence, starts My Chemical Romance
- Stephanie Meyer sees My Chemical Romance and becomes inspired to write Twilight
- Somewhere in Rio de Janeiro, a man by the name of Felipe Neto is so outraged by the Twilight movies that he makes a hate video about them that goes so viral he becomes one of Brazil's biggest YouTubers
- His brother Luccas Neto rides off his fame and becomes a children's YouTuber
- Across the Atlantic, Portuguese children become obsessed with his videos. Like the lusophone Jake Paul
- Portuguese children watch his videos so fucking much that they begin talking like they're from Rio
- Portuguese parents are horrified by the Brazilian Portuguese but can't make it stop
- Brazilian Portuguese slowly eats alive the European Portuguese dialect
WAIT WHAT
This is an ai “artwork” hate blog now
like look you have this soulless thing that has anonymously and indiscriminately cannibalized years of hard-earned learning and discipline and struggle and creativity.
and you type in a little thing and it just. spits out some mashed up amalgam of other peoples inspiration, other peoples skills and dedication and livelihoods. and you sit there and smile and tag it “my art” like its not a horrible spit in the face of every artist who made that shitty little program possible. and now you think you have no NEED to pay an artist, you can just make it yourself. as if you’ve made anything??? fuck you and fuck ai “art”
And don’t even get me started on all the fascist rhetoric coming from the creators of these generators, how many users simply want to “humble artists” of spite for not taking the time and patience to learn to draw or paint*.
To quote the article “Art is dead Dude” - the rise of the AI artists stirs debate from the BBC’s website:
Many artists were furious, but Mr. Allen was unmoved: “It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost”, he told the [New York Times]. …. So what is [Mr Mostaque]’s message to young artists worried about their future career, perhaps in illustration or design? “My message to them would be, ‘illustration design jobs are very tedious’. It’s not about being artistic, you are a tool”. He suggests they find opportunities using the new technology: “This is a sector that’s going to grow massively. Make money from this sector if you want to make money, it’ll be far more fun”.
They don’t care if the art is soulless and striped of culture. The only care about creating a product to consume and will gleefully stripe away everything that makes one an artist in favor of the cheap, instant gratification of custom art.
People already view art posted online as author-less and up for grabs (which is why they have no qualms with copyright infringement), so they are banking on people’s entitlement.
* And for those using “ ai makes art accessible” as an excuse for supporting these ai image generators , that is not how you make art accessible. Funding art programs in public schools and grants is making art accessible. Making all museums free is making art accessible.
Lowering any and all barriers of entry for the arts is how you make art accessible which require big systemic changes but it’ll revitalize culture which is beneficial to all.
