In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series I really enjoyed all the characters and their backgrounds, and the whole connection to Ancient Egypt. I find the art style and the animation very unique and colourful, there’s no other anime like this. However I am aware that the anime had at least 5 directors, that’s why the quality and the animation style would vary quite often. Which was annoying if I have to be honest.

Since Yu-Gi-Oh! was more than a card game anime for me, I never continued watching the other series like GX, and whatever is out there. It’s just too much focused on the game itself and the new characters are no match to the original ones.

#so true #Yugioh dm deserved/s better art direction #I was into Zexal for a time when I was in elementary school but other than that #DM was the only one I really got invested in #truly the anime of all time #shout out to Yugioh for being the only anime with Kaiba and Atem in it #excluding Kaiba’s cameo in GX

we all know and love dog coded characters but what about their cousin, falcon coded characters. characters whose loyalty is fierce, but more distant, less physically affectionate, an unspoken but mutually understood bond. whose devotion to you is a language that only the two of you understand. whose fearsome appearance never lets you forget the privilege you hold in having earned that devotion. who require careful handling and patience to bond with, so you don't slip and cut yourself on their sharp edges. whose trust is given after you place yours in them, not before. whose dependence on you is less apparent but no less real. whose power is only equal to their fragility. who can easily leave your side, but will always return when you hold out your hand and call them home.

Ok Prideshipping question. In a post canon scenario, do you think Kaiba would ever show Atem the AI version of him? Would he keep the hologram duplicate a secret? What do you think his feelings are?? Personally I like the idea of Kaiba never telling him bc DSOD rlly firmly established that Kaiba feels that AI Atem is inferior/doesn’t satisfy him, so if Kaiba has the REAL Atem I just see him sweeping the AI under the rug, because why show your rival/lover/best friend a less-than copy of them? (More in tags)

#I think Kaiba would also be considerate about Atem’s whole identify thing #I think the last thing someone who’s self has been conflated with another identity is to be presented with ANOTHER version of themselves #not saying it would traumatize Atem or anything #this is just what I think KAIBA thinks #Atem might laugh it off and be like #oh wow you really missed me ;)))) #barbershop thoughts #prideshipping #ygo #yugioh #Seto Kaiba #pharaoh atem #Yami Yugi

A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways. 

The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless—dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth. MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research, which has been submitted for peer review at computer security conference Usenix.   

AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI are facing a slew of lawsuits from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without consent or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by creating a powerful deterrent against disrespecting artists’ copyright and intellectual property. Meta, Google, Stability AI, and OpenAI did not respond to MIT Technology Review’s request for comment on how they might respond. 

Zhao’s team also developed Glaze, a tool that allows artists to “mask” their own personal style to prevent it from being scraped by AI companies. It works in a similar way to Nightshade: by changing the pixels of images in subtle ways that are invisible to the human eye but manipulate machine-learning models to interpret the image as something different from what it actually shows.

People like to talk about "wholesome" art like it's the antithesis of sexually explicit media, but to be frank, some of the most genuinely wholesome and emotionally upliftng art I've ever seen has been art where somebody has their dick out.

I know I’m being pedantic, but one thing that annoys me on the internet is when a tiktocker uploads a slideshow with some reposted art/ animanga screenshots and someone will comment “are these someone’s OCs or is it an actual manga?” My brother in Christ EVERY CHARACTER is someone’s OC

#I know what they MEAN #whenever a piece of media gets popular enough #people tend to forget there was usually an individual (or small group ) behind the characters #so it leads people into thinking OCs are just characters regular people make #but all OC stands for is original Character… so like… #barbershop thoughts
