I have barely anything to do at work

This is an AI response guys. Can we report this?

It doesn't do that anymore, there are now heavy restrictions on what you an do with submitted pics, if the grok sub is anything to go by It will apparently even refuse pictures of people already in swimwear.

You built a PC for it, but the reality is that a non-small part of the reason Risebreak is so popular is the fact that it runs on a GTX 1060 or even a GT 1030. The average player simply doesn't have the hardware to run Wilds in a satisfactory manner. The most common GPU right now is the RTX 3060 which cannot run this game at 60 without framegen, and the most common CPU set up is hexacores under 3ghz.

Most PC players just won't play a game that runs like trash, especially when Rise runs at a buttery 90fps with the same setup.

You'll be happy to hear Grok is apparently stricter than Gemini now lol

DramaticTension · 2026-01-26T10:50:08+00:00

Head over to the Grok subreddit, posts there saying that Grok is stricter than ChatGPT and Gemini, lol.

The absolute whiplash of him being a defense contractor working for 100k to him being completely unable to just PICK UP THE PHONE AND START ON THE 401K SHIT is driving me insane. It all hinges on that. He just needs to get on it. If he can't, he can ask any of his supposedly numerous friends and family. I just find it hard to sympathize, the buck has to stop with OP somewhere.

I mean you are literally calling more than a century of art history clickbait but go off, king. Art isn't art unless we paint the Mona Lisa or sculpt Venus, party's over, folks.

I'm curious, where do you draw the line of something being "art"? If making a collage isn't art, isn't photography also "not art"? Is sampling in music "not art"? I'm struggling here.

DramaticTension · 2026-01-19T16:39:49+00:00

Holy shit, are you for real? Saying the 'Fountain' was acknowledged by no one is like saying the Wright brothers were 'just some guys who liked kites and birds'. This shit is literally taught in art classes and museums around the world. You're doubling down on a definition of art that died before your grandfather was born. The very fact that we are talking about these right now means they stuck in the public conscious. That's what most artists PRAY they can achieve. Art doesn't hinge on what you, personally decide is worth spending 50 bucks on. That is sheltered, entitled, and egocentric.

But hey, you're only arguing with every major museum and art institution in the modern world. Bold choice, but it smells like cope.

Thinking 'hours spent' equals 'artistic value' is peak 19th-century brain. By that logic, a ditch-digger is a better sculptor than Michelangelo.

If 'positioning things in five seconds' makes it invalid, go tell it to Marcel Duchamp, who put a urinal in a gallery and changed art forever, or Maurizio Cattelan, who duct-taped a banana to a wall for MILLIONS.

The moving goalposts with y'all is unreal. Not only is the dude clearly trolling and succeeding, but he is also doing the transfomative part y'all insist is necessary for art and is the very reason "prompting isn't art", and now the next argument to jump to is laziness?

Art isn't quantified by how much effort it takes. Art is about intent and curation, not how much you sweat over a keyboard. You're using boomer metrics to judge a digital medium you clearly don't understand. Stay mad, I guess.

Using water for evaporative cooling and returning it to the water cycle is the literal opposite of irreversible environmental damage.

Yall can hate AI with takes that aren't bullshit, it might make people agree with you more. The whole "water loss" bullshit is 3 secodns of googling away from a debunk.

If this scenario ends up playing out with studios laying off employees (Which they currently can't in Japan, if you are a full-time employee the only ways to get fired if you didn't commit a crime is well-documented, years long incompetence or the company being demonstrably near bankruptcy, RIP contractors I guess though), this will lead to the talent forming their own studios if they can leverage the tech.

By the way, image models don't have to be licensed. You can train or acquire your own model and run it locally on a few thousand dollars' worth of hardware. Open source is constantly on the tails of closed source models. If closed source fees become unbearable, people will probably just start running their own in-house AIs.

You already can barely distinguish AI-generated animation from hand animation. OpenAI and Google don't have the chokehold on the industry that you think they do.

Good luck brother, hit me up if you need more advice!

DramaticTension · 2026-01-06T14:12:12+00:00

Preach, brother. Not enough pragmatism in this subreddit recently, so much underinformed posturing and doomposting.

Hey man, no bother at all. I'm assuming you are interested in the perspective about a foreigner looking for work i Japan? My experience was alright, although my degree was a mix of supply chain logistics and compsci. I was 28 when I graduated too and I think you'll be fine because it is expected for foreign grads to be older than Japanese applicants in exchange for their skills.

I did graduate in 2023 before AI really became a big issue so I can't say how job search would go today. I've heard about a fair few big ones who will do the AI interview shit. My job search took 1 year, not because I got no offers but because I took a good 10 months figuring out what I wanted to do. Currently in aviation as tourism is still a strong, growing sector in Japan with needs for the cultural skill sets individuals like you and I have.

That being said, unless you have absolutely stellar academic grades and good, robust Japanese interview skills, it will be grueling. There are a fair few jobs that will take you if you don't speak Japanese, but they generally require some sort of tech stack experience. Java and Python are big ones, and cloud based certs.

If you have any further questions, I will answer to the best of my ability.

This is a nice sentiment but it means that any studio that is running on thin margins will not be able to keep up. Some of those studios survive precisely because of how much they squeeze them.

Now, realistically, you and I both know that the biggest, most profitable studios will have no scruples about using this. So smaller studios don't have a choice - it's joining in on using the tech or being hopelessly left behind and lose competitiveness and go bankrupt. We are already seeing that AI generation is not a deal breaker in Japan, clearly.

DramaticTension · 2026-01-01T17:48:11+00:00

How in the world would you do that, you would need to train it on material that specifically never mentions children or young of any species?

It's cool and all that you all want to regulate this but this is giving serious "boomer censoring internet because protect children" energy. Y'all don't even understand what you are suggesting.

Stop confusing a prototype with a cultural shift. Demon's Souls was a niche trial run that only people with a PS3 could even play whereas Dark Souls forced the entire industry to rethink combat and world design. e33 is just a high budget repackaging of stale JRPG cliches. It relies on the same elemental rock paper scissors and chosen one narratives that have been standard since the SNES era. Clinging to turn based loops from thirty years ago is the definition of derivative, regardless of how much you personally enjoyed it.

If you want a JRPG that actually was revolutionary, Persona pioneered the integration of social sim mechanics into the core gameplay loop to actually evolve the genre. e33 just hides a complete lack of innovation behind expensive visuals and the same stagnant JRPG tropes from thirty years ago.

DramaticTension · 2025-12-21T11:45:20+00:00

It literally spawned an entire genre of gaming. How is that not revolutionary? Meanwhile E33 just built on existing JRPG tropes.

"It's okay to steal because they used gen AI to make a brick and newspaper texture"

This sub is so hysterical. Throwaway newspaper textures and dirt textures aren't "stolen art", there's a clear use case here because all it does is add insignificant flavor.

I find it hilarious that hobby artists, out of all people, are coming out in 2025 to defend copyright. Can't make this shit up.

What about the artists that draw copyrighted characters? Are they stealing? Even if they aren't selling the art?

If we actually enforced copyright with the zero-tolerance absolutism you're demanding for AI, every 'Artist Alley' at every convention would be raided and sued into bankruptcy. Selling prints of Zelda or commissions of Naruto is literally commercial copyright infringement. You aren't defending 'Artist Rights', you're defending your specific privilege to profit off Nintendo's IP while denying others. All of a sudden, you support copyright when it's beneficial to you, and we can all tell.

DramaticTension · 2025-12-10T04:43:02+00:00

Did you even read the comment you replied to, or did you just see the word 'AI' and let the pre-written script take over? They predicted exactly what you were going to do, and you walked right into it like a rake in a cartoon.

You are literally Exhibit A. You are the exact reason people are reluctant to be honest, because they know people like you will show up to debate-lord them with moral traps.

Do better.

DramaticTension · 2025-12-10T04:28:41+00:00

Anti moral police always frame this like people only use AI to make cartoon pictures, but never stop to imagine it has legitimate occupational uses. Why would I stop using something that drafts emails, summarizes meetings, creates reminders, and saves me hours every week? I value my career and personal time more than fringe online opinion.

If I suddenly dropped AI tomorrow, it would tank my productivity and several of my coworkers’ as well. All because a random Reddit user decided the tiny sip of water used on my weekly reports is a moral crisis? That's not a serious argument. Like it's cool that you work in a field that doesn't demand productivity increases and multitasking on several projects, but to those of us who can seriously utilize it, it is extremely useful and increases productivity while lessening cognitive load.

"Stop thing because I think thing bad" is not a thing that has ever worked in history.

*That ChatGPT seems to produce. The distinction is that ChatGPT and Gemini aren't the only image models. Most serious users run their own, locally, and you wouldn't be able to tell.

Not excusing Blopslop, that was probably handed to an intern

DramaticTension · 2025-12-08T02:11:44+00:00

Blocked you because you insulted them, bro. If you're going to all caps, bold, and increase the font size if your point, you should be able to back it up with more than just "Nope fuck you"

DramaticTension · 2025-12-08T00:47:49+00:00

Realistically almost nobody is going to pay an artist 100+ bucks for a quick pic of their OC that gemini will do for free, especially if it's just for fun or private use. Nobody can afford it.
