EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE MY EMENY.

What if we were a character in the MCYT adjacent western AU...and we had a red color palette and a face scar.

(you can read five rounds, six cylinders here! brian is the only one actually in the fic at the moment, though.)

#5r6c #western au #mcyt #pearlescentmoon #technoblade #terroriser #double life smp #dream smp #irish lads #techno's design still slaps tbh #van's idea was the tusk scars #and i came up with the hair that looks like pig ears #and the emerald brooch was a collaborative decision cuz we could not decide what emerald duo should have #also pearl's scar is stolen from some ppls designs where its like a half moon! #brian is uh. brian. sorry dude.

do you have any playlists for the Fae!boys??

I have a cowboy playlist for Ghost! But I don't have anything for the Fae!Boys, I do have songs that remind me of them though.

#ghoul speaks #the cowboy playlist is all old style western music #because I hate new country #I want to hear about unions and killing your husband not about how cool america is #the fae songs are all like soft indie stuff #Show me how by Men I Trust and Our Hell by Emily Haines are the vibe #the fae au has a very dreamy soundtrack in my mind #exception to this rule is Black out Days by Phantogram #The demon AU is all hard techno

“As much as I loved the New York special (which I really do), my biggest complaint about the special is that the villain, Techno-Pirate has literally ZERO personality. And that’s frustrating for me because most of the characters in Miraculous have very vivid and memorable personalities, and always manage to leave a lasting impression. Techno-Pirate, however, is just a one-dimensional stereotypical hardened criminal who likes to steal technology and shows no mercy towards anyone who tries to stop him. That’s it. That’s literally all there is to know about him. 

Heck, he doesn’t even have a real reason why he attacks the plane Marinette’s class is traveling to New York on, he only does it because the plot demands him to. And even when he was Akumatized, he was practically the same exact character, just with a new look and different powers. Nothing really substantial about him changed.”

just some screenshots of the first chapter of Desperados 3 because this is the most fun I’ve had in a game for a while

#I used to play the first one when I was 8 #and I oh so randomly discovered that there's a new game in the series #so I picked it up in a heartbeat #since it's also on sale now #and damn #the sheer dopamine release of sniping absolute fools to the most banger of alarm soundtracks #the OST is godly #like some techno western that fits into this universe perfectly #and all the nail-biting fights are still here #it's so fuckin' amazing #go get the game NOW #aliya's musings #my screenshot

Its so wild playing New Vegas and you get to Old World Blues because you are teleported out of an old timey western setting and suddenly Rusty Venture and Captain Qwark are sharing a robobody that looks like a Y2K techno music video and arguing over whether or not you have a brain

Sigh, I’m listening to Techno Westerns’s new song Mystery Man, and they still have no right being this good, nor do they have the right to sound pretty in terms of colors either lol. I gotta go through the whole Midnight EP before their Dusk EP comes out and whatnot so I can do color palettes for those songs too If you like indie rock bands with 80s feels check them out plz I can’t promote them enough-

Neural Nets, Walled Gardens, and Positive Vibes Only

the crystal spire at the center of the techno-utopian walled garden

Anyone who knows or even just follows me knows that as much as I love neural nets, I'm far from being a fan of AI as a corporate fad. Despite this, I am willing to use big-name fad-chasing tools...sometimes, particularly on a free basis. My reasons for this are twofold:

Many people don't realize this, but these tools are more expensive for the companies to operate than they earn from increased interest in the technology. Using many of these free tools can, in fact, be the opposite of "support" at this time. Corporate AI is dying, use it to kill it faster!

You can't give a full, educated critique of something's flaws and failings without engaging with it yourself, and I fully intend to rip Dall-E 3, or more accurately the companies behind it, a whole new asshole - so I want it to be a fair, nuanced, and most importantly personally informed new asshole.

Now, much has already been said about the biases inherent to current AI models. This isn't a problem exclusive to closed-source corporate models; any model is only as good as its dataset, and it turns out that people across the whole wide internet are...pretty biased. Most major models right now, trained primarily on the English-language internet, present a very western point of view - treating young conventionally attractive white people as a default at best, and presenting blatantly misinformative stereotypes at worst. While awareness of the issue can turn it into a valuable tool to study those biases and how they intertwine, the marketing and hype around AI combined with the popular idea that computers can't possibly be biased tends to make it so they're likely to perpetuate them instead.

This problem only gets magnified when introduced to my mortal enemy-

If I never see this FUCKING dog again it will be too soon-

Content filters.

Theoretically, content filters exist to prevent some of the worst-faith uses of AI - deepfakes, true plagiarism and forgery, sexual exploitation, and more. In practice, many of them block anything that can be remotely construed as potentially sexual, violent, or even negative in any way. Frequently banned subjects include artistic nudity or even partial nudity, fight scenes, anything even remotely adjacent to horror, and still more.

The problems with this expand fractally.

While the belief that AI is capable of supplanting all other art forms, let alone should do so, is...far less widespread among its users than the more reactionary subset of its critics seem to believe (and in fact arguably less common among AI users than non-users in the first place; see again: you cannot give a full, educated critique of something's failings without engaging with it yourself), it's not nonexistent - and the business majors who have rarely if ever engaged with other forms of art, who make up a good percentage of the executives of these companies, often do fall on that side, or at least claim to in order to make more sales (but let's keep the lid on that can of worms for now).

When this ties to existing online censorship issues, such as a billionaire manchild taking over Twitter to "help humanity" (read: boost US far-right voices and promote and/or redefine hate speech), or arcane algorithms on TikTok determining what to boost and deboost leading to proliferation of neologisms to soften and obfuscate "sensitive" subjects (of which "unalive" is frequently considered emblematic), including such horrible, traumatizing things as...the existence of fat people, disabled people, and queer people (where the censorship is claimed to be for their benefit, no less!), the potential impact is apparent: while the end goal is impossible, in part because AI is not, in fact, capable of supplanting all other forms of art, what we're seeing is yet another part of a continuing, ever more aggressive push for sanitizing what kinds of ideas people can express at all, with the law looking to only make it worse rather than better through bills such as KOSA (which you can sign a petition against here).

And just like the other forms of censorship before and alongside it, AI content filtering targets the most vulnerable in society far more readily than it targets those looking to harm them. The filters have no idea what makes something an expression of a marginalized identity vs. what makes it a derogatory statement against that group, or an attempt at creating superficially safe-for-work fetish art - so, they frequently err on the side of removing anything uncertain. Boys in skirts and dresses are frequently blocked, presumably because they're taken for fetish art. Results of prompts about sadness or loneliness are frequently blocked, presumably because they may promote self harm, somehow. In my (admittedly limited) experiment, attempts at generating dark-skinned characters were blocked more frequently than attempts at generating light-skinned ones, presumably because the filter decided that it was racist to [checks notes] ...acknowledge that a character has a different skin tone than the default white characters it wanted to give me. Facial and limb differences are often either erased from results, or blocked presumably on suspicion of "violent content".

But note that I say "presumably" - the error message doesn't say on what grounds the detected images are "unsafe". Users are left only to speculate on what grounds we're being warned.

But what makes censorship of AI generated work even more alarming, in the context of the executive belief that it can render all other art forms obsolete, is that other forms of censorship only target where a person can say such earth-shaking, controversial things as "I am disabled and I like existing" or "I am happy being queer" or "mental health is important" or "I survived a violent crime" - you can be prevented from posting it on TikTok, but not from saying it to a friend next to you, let alone your therapist. AI content filtering, on the other hand, aims to prevent you from expressing it at all.

This becomes particularly alarming when you recall one of the most valuable use cases for AI generation: enabling disabled people to express themselves more clearly, or in new forms. Most people can find other workarounds in the form of more conventional, manual modes of expression, sure, but no amount of desperation can reverse hand paralysis that prevents a person from holding a pen, nor a traumatic brain injury or mental disability that blocks them from speaking or writing in a way that's easy to understand. And who is one of the most frequently censored groups? Disabled people.

So, my question to Bing and OpenAI is this: in what FUCKING universe is banning me from expressing my very existence "protecting" me?

Bad dog! Stop breaking my shit and get the FUCK out of my way!
