i know nobody here cares but i'm gonna bitch here about it anyway since this is my AI art blog: it *really* bites my ass that neuralblender, the thing that has become astoundingly popular seemingly overnight for AI art, very transparently uses several pre-made AI Art code assets without any sort of credit towards the creators who spent months of hard work on that code.

I'm genuinely a little offended that clicking on "credits" brings you to a page where they ask you to spend microtransaction money on generating stuff from other people's code notebooks (THAT YOU CAN ACCESS FOR COMPLETELY FREE, WITH MORE OPTIONS, THAT RUN FASTER, HERE'S NEURALBLENDER HYPERION AND HERE'S NEURALBLENDER CRONOS, BOTH FOR FREE THAT YOU CAN RUN AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, FROM THE ORIGINAL CREATORS), and not, like, a page crediting the original sources of their code. the website is also just lazy as hell, they didn't even change the favicon from the default react icon, so the fact that neuralblender is exploding and the original creators of the work (and the people whose shoulder's they are standing on; Advadnoun, RiversHaveWings, and DanielRussRuss for starters) don't receive a lick of credit or acknowledgement really just bothers the shit out of me.

Anyway, I would appreciate it if you felt like spreading this around and reblogging it. Here's a whole list of all the dozens of variations of CLIP+VQGAN and other generative art resources that you can be using for free instead of shelling out for Neuralblender's grift.

People have money and Still hate their blackness, still feel unattractive , and less of a person.

This is what happens when you bombarded all your life with miseducation and negative images of self without finding real education and real self-love. These are the affects of White supremacy.

What's wrong with crossfit?

It’s a very harmful fad!! A lot of people want to do it because they think a bunch of intense exercise leads to quick results, and that’s what they’re banking on. but, unless you have careful and proper guidelines and people who know what they’re doing, you’ll get hurt. The coaches that own gyms, or get people to become coaches at the gyms, most likely have inadequate training on how to actually teach others to work their bodies, and majority of them only have gyms, not because they’re better than other coaches, but because they have more money. The object of it is to push your body past the limit of exertion at high speed on the regular. that type of workout has no longterm achievement. it’s a boasting field. your body will be accustomed to the exertion at a certain point, and you’ll have to up the ante… then you end up dealing with bodily atrophy just as quick as the exertion that got you there. your goals won’t last if you turn exercising into a pissing contest.
