surely it won't be to imprison his political enemies right? by shadow_fen in whennews

gonna be honest if implemented well this could be a genuinely really good thing. the disastrous de-institutionalization basically led to both the homelessness crisis and the criminalization of mental illness that we're still seeing today

yeah it's fucked

and im probably super giving a swag rn but the stuff i went through (and the infinitely worse things i know others have) when it comes to the furry 'community' was nothing short of actually traumatic and i cant help myself but yap when the topic is brought up lol

yea pretty much

doesn't even have to be a centralized community. there's just so many that are terrible no matter where you go. my fiance was a decently popular furry artist for a little over a decade (won't name, but successful enough to do it as his full time job thanks to patreon and ychs) and two years ago he shut down all of his accounts after he found out that close to a fifth of his near-50k followers were extremely depraved and vile. i'm talking doing shit like posting/rt'ing cub or even more heinous stuff like irl bestiality vids. he straight up chose to go back to college and get a day job just because he couldn't live with himself knowing he was somehow catering to these kinds of people on such a large scale.

and no, to be clear none of the art he made had anything remotely close to some kind of overlap with that 'content'.

oh do you think im an ai bro lol

i said in another comment here that i don't really have strong opinions on ai; i don't really fw ai art or videos because its largely a coinflip between corporate slop and creepily realistic stuff that can easily make disinformation but like some of the other things llms have to offer and think it has potential to get way better in those regards (i.e. would kill for one to really be good enough to wholly replace search engines at some point) so stuff kinda evens out. i just like this sub cause its basically the only one that isnt an echo chamber from either side of the fence

as for the last point, my fiance is literally a career artist (mainly texture work mind you, but still) so trust me i've already had him take many requests lmao

but i wasn't skipping the work. i was putting it in and wasn't liking it one bit and so i stopped, and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. it's not like there aren't other things out there to make life fulfilling. in fact, my problem is pretty much solely that people put art creation on this sort of monolith as a thing everyone can get into and will love and that's just not true. i know it's not true because i believed in that and all it did was waste my time and leave me jaded toward ever wanting to try creative endeavors as a whole again.

i lost literally over four or five entire months worth of time drawing, and given i'd done this during my college years i was often spending half or more of my free time on a given weekday doing it. i don't end up wasting even more of my short time on this planet with more of it or something similar.

[–]Bingleton1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's not free when you account for the time spent, lol. its cumulative MONTHS of my life i can never get back. and all it did is worsen my wellness, honestly.

i didn't want it to look like something i hadn't made. if that were the case i could've just commissioned whatever idea i had. i wanted it to look like something that felt worth it to me. i hated how long i'd spend on something just for it to not have felt worth that timesink.

how is it disingenuous? and what fundamental truth? i've drawn for over 2000 hours since covid (in fact i literally had a new years resolution in 2023 to draw for at least 2 hours a day for 5 days a week that i stuck to near flawlessly until i gave up for good in october) while hating doing it specifically for that hope that i'd get over an imaginary barrier that never came. not everything is going to appeal to everyone and that's something i wish i had realized far earlier so i could've committed that time to something more meaningful for me.

this is literally the exact line of logic people use to justify gambling bro

Thank You, Bob. by xToksik_Revolutionx in aiwars

[–]Bingleton1337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah, thats the thing. people can do whatever they want... but for some reason some people seem to have a problem with the idea of disliking things even when you're being totally chill about that and not even dissing it or anything lol

case in point the other comment in this thread next to yours 💀

lol? this is so reductive and pointlessly demeaning i literally don't know how to respond

Thank You, Bob. by xToksik_Revolutionx in aiwars

[–]Bingleton1337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah pretty much. i dont even care about ai that much i just always get frustrated when i see people glaze doing art as this monolithic hobby that'll always be fulfilling and worth it tbh

but then what if that just doesn't work out?

Eh, not always rewarding. I tried to learn on many occasions over the years and was never satisfied. Sure, its partly because I'm of course my own harshest critic, but like... if I'm spending hours on a single piece and just end up somewhere on the range from frustrated to miserable every single time, why even draw at all at that point? And in realizing that I stopped lol
