want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--

i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video

however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern

the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI

and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?

it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey

i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

#melia.txt #also want to add that as musicians svt are more directly threatened by AI generated audio than they are by AI generated images #and yet AI generated images is what was used in the video #and i guess the MV director/production company are the ones directly responsible for putting that in there #whether it was their initial idea or not #and they work in a visual medium so perhaps that makes it more 'fair' but idk it just feels like #the commentary is around music. which makes sense. and using human produced music/sound #but then taking advantage of AI images #idk just feels weird #i mean i don't like it either way #like i said in the main post i understand the intention behind the creative decision #and i'm still happy svt are speaking against ai at all i do think overall they're doing a good thing here #i just don't agree with the creative decision they/the production company/whoever made #edit: deleted the part about not boycotting svt over this bc ppl were commenting about boycotting bc of the 🛴 stuff #i meant specifically /I/ am not calling for a boycott because of specifically the ai stuff #was just trying to make a general point that im not making this post bc i want to sabatoge svt or whatever #bc kpop fans love to pull that catd whenever u criticize anything #so yeah just removed that bit bc i dont want ppl getting confused what im talking about #respect ppl boycotting because of scooter/israel stuff but thats not what this post was intended to be about #edit 2: turning off reblogs bc im going to bed and having asomewhat controversial post up is not gonna help me sleep well lol #may or my not turn rb's back on in the morning

Shadow of a Doubt’s conclusion opens up as many questions as it answers, giving us an apparent return to equilibrium, but an underlying feeling that this just isn’t working…The wholly normative couple of Charlie and Jack Graham will forever be shadowed by the illicit couple of Charles and Charlie, whose final symmetry is both affective and ideological...In short she is far more Charles' widow than she is Jack's fiancee.

Shadow of a Doubt by Diane Negra

#shadow of a doubt #my thing #hitchcock said inc- [i am forcibly removed from the lecture hall]#imagine trying to appeal to someone by saying how boring you are what was jack's deal #also the visual comparisons...#there's always a lot of space between charlie and jack sometimes they're not even in the same shot together #whereas the 2 charlies are practically glued together #much to think about #i brought you nightmares

they really made the effort to give them different outfits each time they're dressed for the cold, at the very least recoloring them (i was about to say shaggy and scoobys are all recolors, but shaggy's 3rd outfit is actually not, you can tell especially if you look at his pants and boots), plus daphne gets a whole extra (sick as fuck) cold outfit for her spy thing she had going on. this show really has so much attention to detail, im never making fun of the art style again

#the art style was a Choice and some people might not think it was a good one but it was practical and they work within it really well #my posts #be cool scooby doo #bcsd #daphne blake #fred jones #shaggy rogers #velma dinkley #scooby-doo #velma gets 2 distinct outfits and a 3rd one based off her 2nd but with different colors and more accessories #fred gets 3 unique outfits #daphne gets 3 unique outfits + a bonus one (while 2 of daphnes outfits are similar they're different and not just a recolor)#scooby gets 3 outfits though they're all recolors (but his 3rd does remove the stripes on his scarf for good measure)#and shaggy gets 2 unique outfits (though similar) and one recolor

Apparently there was a roundtable with a senior narrative head at bungie about destiny

where he stated "don't expect to be allies with the hive. or even Savathun"

which to me seems like a weird choice to say right after deeps ending?

That's interesting. Honestly, valid comment to me. Here's the link to the article itself! The dev that made the comments is Robert Brookes. One extra quote that isn't in the tweet (goes in between the two in the tweet):

“It’s gonna be really hard to walk that back from anyone’s perspective. Even if that ever became a possibility, there’s a lot of ground to cover to make amends for that.”

We often forget about that, because obviously everyone deserves a second chance, especially in a situation where the Hive were literally manipulated into becoming what they did, but at the end of the day, their gruesome conquests that wiped out thousands of civilisations is not something that everyone can or has to forgive.

People are really eager to forgive Savathun, completely, which was always weird to me in a fandom that has gone ballistic over infinitely smaller crimes. And I get it, Savathun is an incredibly compelling character, fantastically written, absolute banger of VA work. She's such a crucial element in the whole setting of Destiny and is fascinating to read about her. 100% one of the best characters in the entire franchise, intriguing and complex beyond pretty much anyone else.

But the characters within the story itself can't view her in this way or it would be immersion breaking. To them, Savathun isn't a character that's well written, she's a monster who is responsible for some of the most horrific things across time and space. I can definitely see any alliance with her to be temporary, out of necessity and not exactly on good terms. I would love for us to eventually get together with the Hive and join forces against those that are responsible for their course in life, but I think it's definitely something that, within the universe in-character, is not something entirely realistic and would be difficult to justify.

Definitely an odd thing to say now though. Maybe it's telling us to temper our expectations next season? We need Savathun's knowledge, but I don't see us being besties with her in any capacity. I'm not sure what people expect from a season where we rez Savathun; there's probably a lot of people who expect a Caiatl situation.

Realistically, it might be an uneasy cooperation that will be very limited and possibly exploited by Savathun to get out at the end. Right now she's dead and she can't do anything and for as long as we keep her, we're safe. But now that we need her... We have no choice. We have to get her out and once she's out, she will not be bound by anything to obey us. It's a very risky move, one that we're looking at out of desperation, and the risks were nicely laid out by Saladin, Saint and Zavala in their conversation. That bit is definitely priming us to expect some heavy resistance to help from Savathun from various characters and this comment might be as well.

I can't wait for the next season's story though! Savathun talking to us again, in any capacity, is something I've been waiting for eagerly since the end of WQ. I don't doubt for a second that the conversations she'll have will be full of some heavy stuff and that she will not play nice with us and that she (and Immaru) will make most of the situation where we're desperate for her help. She will probably also genuinely want to get her revenge to the Witness, but not necessarily as our sidekick. I think that continuing with the animosity between her and us adds an extra layer of depth to the whole story with her and the Hive.

#destiny 2 #savathun #long post #ask #to me it makes perfect sense that some characters will just never be able to forgive her #and that they will despise her even if she helps us #seen some people being confused about why saladin talked about caiatl being mad #and it's a good example: savathun is responsible for the fall of torobatl. yes it was xivu who invaded but savathun set it up #savathun spent years corrupting caiatl's trusted friend and advisor. savathun organised the portal to open to torobatl #savathun is directly responsible for the uncalculable uluran deaths. ofc caiatl is mad. and for a good reason #it's a nice recent example of how savathun's crimes are such that it just makes sense that people don't want to be friendly with her #even if she's helping us. helping us is the least she can do to buy our good will even if temporary #to some no matter what savathun does it will never be enough. and they're perfectly justified thinking that way #also i know she died and got rezed without memories and all. but she got them all back #if she just removed herself from her past life entirely and didn't deliberately seek out her memories then forgiveness would be easier #still not entirely guaranteed but at least somewhat easier. especially if she didn't still have a thing for fighting us

SAY IT WITH ME:

FEMALE CHARACTERS CAN BE WARRIORS AND FEMININE

MALE CHARACTERS CAN BE SMART AND MASCULINE

BEING BOTH IS NOT A "FLAW" WHERE ONE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED

IT'S CALLED "COMPLEXITY"

#i won't tag it #but #HECK if i wanted to chuck episode 5 out my window and then run it over with a car #i mean these issues have definitely been hinted at before ep 5 but that one just went ALL IN #i knew from 3 and 4 what they would probably do with hakoda but GOSH am i bitter about it #i swear if they don't walk this back somehow and make hakoda a bad overbearing dad or whatever i'm gonna riot #and katara's whole 'you know i'm not good at this [womanly] type of stuff' NO SCREW YOU WHOEVER INCLUDED THAT #WHY #if you want a female character that rejects the stereotypes of femininity you'll get one in season 2 gosh DANG IT #you don't need to try and force katara into that role #sokka wanting to use his brain AND fight well is not a flaw #katara wanting to use her waterbending to fight AND knowing how to sew is not a flaw #OH i hate this #i hate this so much #i can understand the need to change story elements to work better in a different format #i don't think they're always doing that WELL but i can understand the need for it #but i will never understand why they felt the need to butcher characters' personalities #again some things won't transfer well i get it i really REALLY do #it's like with sanji in opla how he had to be toned down - that makes sense for a live action adaptation #just removing things simply for the sake of removing them? no just no #'updated for modern audiences' has become a curse to my ears i swear because it always means the same thing #'we're going to remove all complexity and make it as one note as possible so we don't offend anyone'#there was nothing wrong with katara or sokka or aang or anyone else that they needed 'updating' yall are just close-minded #ok rant over just REALLY needed to get that out...

Seriously imagine the fact that Left 4 Dead will live on longer than Apex Legends or Overwatch.

Really let it sink in that I don't mean that in terms of community, but in terms of being able to play the game 10 years from now.

#left 4 dead #apex legends #overwatch #pubg #probably who knows they likely got community servers now #anything by Warner Brothers #Left 4 dead costs 20$ at the MOST usually like 2$ on sale #Overwatch and Apex may be free but they're made like shit and will be removed from the store eventually #oh #oh wait #That Already Happened #with Overwatch #funny how time flies by faster than you'd like #permanence is only possible when it's allowed #and when the consumer keeps cheering for it's death #well #let's just say nobody will blame themselves when you own nothing permanently #start backing up everything #the rich don't want you to own shit #but at least you can watch DBZA on your computer without the FBI coming to kill you #so long as you're offline since VPN's have mostly given up privacy anymore #at least companies work together to have a barrier of entry to obtaining art #but only for poor people #fuck them

be cringe, pick a fight on twitter 💪

just went on a hater rant against beloved tv show hannibal on my priv I should post that on main and make people with meat emojis in their display name really get mad at me yes or no

#asks #anonymous #jk im not gonna do that #cannot think of a worse way to spend my day than fighting with 🌈🍖🔞💀🕊😈🥵🍆💦 bitches on twitter #except perhaps targ stans but at least sometimes they're funny #my hannibal opinion is that its fun for the silly gore and once you remove that you're left with a pretentious nothingburger. btw #also um. full disclosure i didnt finish it.................s3 was 2 boring for me sorry. I stand by my hater opinion tho #like there's gotta be a better show to put in the gay holy trinity with black sails & iwtv #i guess its bc they're all like. edgy gay shows with evil bitches as opposed to like the good omens type. but theres gotta be smth better #I understand the cultural significance of hannibals to tumblrinas. I just think its time to move on #this isnt a take im willing to die for if you wanna call me a dumb baby who doesnt understand subtle writing or smth ill be like ok sure #I just like being a hater :3

smashes my current interest together with my old interest (aka yet another "what Dungeon Meshi but Gamers?" AU)

Once when I was a child I had a complete crying meltdown over Creatures, because the manual insisted that the complicated AI of the Norns made them truly alive and 10-year-old me was freaked out at the idea of being solely responsible for making sure these real animals wouldn't die. The funny part was that this was the Playstation version of Creatures, which has no biochemistry and very basic AI compared to the PC/Mac games where players actually were debating whether or not it was true artificial life. A PSX manual gave me existential dread and it wasn't even telling the truth.

Anyway, kid!Marcille would also have a meltdown over the Creatures series, especially if she had the computer games and got to see how vastly different some breeds' lifespans are. Like in C2 where you have Norns that live for around 5 hours and Norns that live for 10, both of which are vastly more than Ettins who don't even live for 1.5 hours (and usually less due to radiation or starvation).

Lucky for her, having the computer version means she could download modified genomes made by other players that make creatures live longer or even outright remove certain death triggers. However I think she'd have more fun learning to read and edit the genomes herself, to get a better understanding of how the game works and how to change it to suit her own tastes. And because she could pretend she's one of the mysterious ancient Shee who created the Norns, Grendels, and Ettins and then vanished, leaving behind relics of their old society.

(Speaking of Grendels, she would unfortunately dislike them because they're the Designated Evil Species and she'd hate how they harass and attack her Norns. I think she'd also pity them though, because they get sick a lot and have short lifespans. Likely she'd just end up downloading/creating a genome without the aggression towards Norns. Ettins she'd like except for in C3 when they dismantle her meticulously-placed gadget setups, so she might mod out their hoarding compulsions too. Both of them would of course also live for however long her Norns would live.)

Also. While standard creatures' lifespans are counted in hours, if you modify the half-lives in the genome editor you can increase it to centuries. Or even just over a millennium if you set the half-lives to their max length (assuming you also leave the old age death trigger at its vanilla value).

and I like to think that elven Creatures players would pass around copies of what they consider a template genome that's appropriate to their own lifespans. Something that would make their creatures live for weeks or months of continuous play. I also like to think the Creatures DS Warp is still active in this AU because of the hilarious frustration when these long-lived Norns travel to worlds run by short-lived players whose Norns have vanilla lifespans, and vice versa.

(Most of the time in Creatures, offspring of parents with different lifespans will just have one or the other, but there's a chance the genes cross over right in the middle of the various age triggers and cause unstable aging rates. Like a Norn that goes through the childhood stages in hours but then has a very extended adulthood. Or a days-long childhood followed by suddenly dropping dead of old age once the vanilla adulthood genes kick in. Or, if the child has one parent's half-life decay rate and the other parent's age triggers, all sorts of odd things could happen. I once had hybrid Norns who lived for 20 hours and would die of organ failure before reaching the old age threshold!)

(Now that I think of it, Marcille would absolutely hate fast-agers. The first time she watches a creature hatch, turn old, and die in just one brief minute of life, she would be sobbing for days. One of the first things she'd learn to mod out would be mutations that cause the Ageing/Life chemical to decrease unusually fast.)

On a lighter note, while I don't know what her favorite designs would be I think she'd love choosing cute breeds to use in her world. Once she figured out how to give her creatures the comfortable life she wants them to have I can see her redirecting all her gene-editing efforts into changing color expressions. She might even learn to sprite or model her own custom designs.

#creatures #creatures games #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi spoilers #delicious in dungeon spoilers #(not directly but the Implications are there)#(later tags will be more direct about spoilers)#anyway all the PC Creatures games are on Steam and Docking Station is free #Caveat One: Creatures 2 does not run well on modern systems (though the Steam release is trying to fix that)#Caveat Two: The Creatures series was made during the 'spanking is acceptable' era so uh.#No sugarcoating it: Physical abuse is used as discipline.#(unless it's Creatures Village where they replaced slapping with a water spray)#I made a mod for C3/DS that just uses buttons instead of the hand; it was released for the CCSF 2023 community event but #I should re-release it here too someday. I should also revisit my slap-disabler mod and see if I can make it easy to install.#but that's a task for Future Me and not Present Me #anyway Sissel/Thistle is also a Creatures player but he cares more about micromanaging his population than caring for them #he removes not just their death triggers but also their drive to eat and sleep. they're permanently happy zombies basically #he doesn't make peace with Grendels and Ettins he just puts them in the airlock #he gets involved in the Creatures Abuse discourse and somehow makes everyone mad #however he is also a very prolific modder who has made all sorts of interesting animals and metarooms; ppl in the fandom respect his skills #and he does truly care about his vision of a utopian world for his favorite Norns #idk if any other dunmeshi character would play Creatures. Milsiril might like it?#Kabru wouldn't play but he'd get a kick out of reading the many ethical debates and drama between fans #everyone else I feel might be put off by the game's very slow pace or by the complexities of raising creatures #anyway hey I haven't posted on tumblr for months; I am sorry and this WILL happen again #Eventually i will remember how to Create Things #that is also a task for Future Me

not going to watch ms marvel or engage with it at all but i’m definitely curious about Who Exactly decided Kamela’s power should come from Djinn and who decided to have Nakia look like that

Because whoever made those decisions knows exactly what they’re doing. Trying to make Muslim immigrants stomachable for white audiences and in doing so removing the aspects of religion and culture that defined so many characters in this series and moreover define us as people

#only seen the trailer #didn't like what they did with Nakia at all. Not at all #You guys don't understand the awareness of making the choice to wear a hijab especially in a non-muslim country nor the requirement to cover #the neck! Ilhan Omar might do it but she makes a choice and it could be cultural or because the US government would never let her set foot #in the government if she wore a full hijab. Either way I respect her choice but for someone to take what could be either a cultural thing or #a compromise between being a representative of your religion and roots AND your country and to then apply it to a character who #uncompromisingly embraced all aspects of her religion in the comics? and her knowledge and critical thinking of society from an islamic #perspective are her defining features? CHEAP #or nah about ilhan omar it's her personal preference fundamentally but any muslim knows there is a distinction between the 2 ways of wearing #hijab. and for the writers or whoever to apply that nakia is highly dubious #and im assuming that's the link theyre going for. They're going for 'well this muslim woman does it like this so there' THAT'S A HUMAN PERSO #PERSON WHO MADE A CHOICE. BASED ON THEIR VALUES. DO NOT CONFLATE ONE PERSON'S CHOICE WITH ANOTHER'S.#the author of ms marvel made a choice to have Nakia wear her hijab THIS way. Andh for her character to be Like This. Her Values like That #you know what im saying? this is also more insidious than changing plot points or characters for ordinary stories or percy jackson or whatev #because it's about islam. it's about representation or muslim minorities and islam in western media. most of us don't like being represented #in western media because it is NEVER an acceptable representation. here again it's distorted.#anyway i wil stop ranting in the tags #and the thing that bothers me is those are pretty big things already. so what else did they totally change to remove the islamic side
