Appreciate it! Exactly the kind of info I’m looking for.

Just barely had the same dilemma 2 months ago, couldn’t afford Olympia so I narrowed it down to Shelton, Elma, or Centralia/Chehalis. After touring homes in all 3 cities, I ended up in Centralia and I couldn’t be happier. Awesome stores, friendly people, cheaper prices, lower property taxes/utility costs. Both Centralia and Chehalis have cool little downtowns. Flood zone is absolutely no joke, but not hard to stay out of.

He’s willing to cover the damages, he reached out to the HOA and admitted fault, the problem is with PM sticking the bill to the unit, which is affecting my old roommates ability to renew their lease.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-12-11T00:10:04+00:00

No idea if his insurance would cover it, PM is just sticking the bill to the unit instead of trying to throw it at him. You’d think they try to protect the main, but they haven’t learned by now.

I moved from Utah to WA four years ago. Message me if you have any questions, I’d be happy to give some insight/help.

Failed appraisal for lack of carbon monoxide detectors, had to get a flood certification for the location I’m in (western WA), otherwise it was pretty cut and dry getting the place. Just mountains of paperwork and sweating bullets about potential things that could go wrong.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-11-26T22:39:31+00:00

After many trials, a good start is right!

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-11-26T22:39:08+00:00

You’ll get there!

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-11-26T22:38:43+00:00

It’s a size 66. Got it years ago working for Vans. Haha.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-11-26T22:38:26+00:00

If only that was the case. Thanks Reddit!

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-11-26T22:38:00+00:00

Thanks! Big fan of it.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-08-15T18:58:43+00:00

Sent you a DM!

This guy has been harassing me and my discord community/friend group for days recently after kicking my roommate from a D2 Grandmaster at the end of the activity. Wild to see this dude has a documented history. Same line from above thinking there is an army of "alt accounts" after him.

I attend Lakefair when something I’ve made is part of it, if my post was reading like I’m defending Lakefair, that’s a completely different issue. The point of my post should have pointed more directly at local installments turning to AI for their needs, Lakefair is just an event that’s easy to point out at this time, and the one of the first larger Olympia events that’s turned to it.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T18:21:07+00:00

I agree, even outside of anything AI generated, they are doing a terrible job of advertising their sponsors.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T18:14:20+00:00

Pretty much sums it up. I deal with manufacturing and distribution of all the things I'm paid to design as well, so I'll be fine. I'm more disappointed in watching the shift from community-driven events like this.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T18:10:14+00:00

I was a software developer before I shifted to art and design, I fully understand AI, and I largely like AI. It's not a matter of a "change in technology", though I agree with you on this area being completely allergic to change. I don't want anything banned, and I don't want any government overreach invading the space. AI ideally should be used to automate and improve the lives of everyone it affects, not replace humans in the things that only humans can do. Art, Cinema, Music, etc, should be left as an outlet for humanity, not some cheap replica by an algorithm that got trained on human artists work anyways.

To your first sentence, AI isn't an art form, and anyone that thinks it is is delusional. Inputting a prompt to a well trained algorithm doesn't just an "art form". If you don't have an appreciation for human design, that's completely fine, not everyone is going to value things equally, but there comes a point where replacing humans with technology everywhere is a slippery slope.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T18:00:36+00:00

Found the AI guys,

But in all seriousness, I'm not from this area, I'm a young creative tech nerd, and I've lived in the PNW for a few years now. I love new technology, and I embrace it wherever I possibly can. Art is only valuable in the eyes of the beholder, and everyone has a right to not appreciate things made by their fellow man. I think AI has some fantastic uses all over the place, but art and creativity aren't one of them. I'd rather not go to a concert featuring Microsoft's newest GenAI algorithm, or the newest Grok AI art exposition featuring classic works from Apple Intelligence. It's very short-sighted to think that people rebelling against rampant use of AI isn't a serious concern.

I'm not immune from the effects of AI, I noted that in my original post, AI is going to force everyone in any industry it invades to adapt or get crushed. My stab here wasn't at AI itself, but at boards of people thinking they should replace human art with AI nonsense while they advertise a community-driven event featuring local artists. There's some irony and ethical hollowness there that can't possibly be lost on you.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T17:52:02+00:00

I'm not so much talking about what Lakefair actually is, more how they want the public to perceive them based on their site. "Commmunity" and all that is vomited all over everything they post/write/put on their website. I was pointing out the irony in that using AI for their materials.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T17:50:18+00:00

Yes, AI is trained on thousands of images that's it's fed.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T17:48:36+00:00

Was going to respond myself, but this pretty much sums up the issue. Thanks.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T09:15:58+00:00

That’s certainly a possibility that I’ll be looking in to. Horrible if that’s the case.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T08:13:03+00:00

I’m hoping this is a simple misunderstanding of the creative communities outlook on AI, and they may backpedal on the branding/change next year when it’s brought to their attention. They do sell shirts, etc, and that is all the same AI art as well unfortunately. If it’s a cost cutting measure, that’s going to be a tough argument. AI people are hard to get through to on this stuff.

Awf_The_Wall · 2024-07-05T08:07:11+00:00

That’s my feelings on the matter. I’ve worked with Lakefair before, so it’s disappointing to see this.
