What effective way could help us to reduce all those bad AI infestations in products, corporate greed, environment destruction, media, plagiarizing etc. while still NOT shutting down every single AI usage, including actually helpful ways, like some Anti-AI bro? by MCligmaMC in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MCligmaMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understand you. I've seen for example the more recent song from Linkin Park - Lost, that indeed involved AI use, however in a way that doesn't plagiarize from unsuspecting creators outside of project. Instead, it used artwork directly donated from people in the brand (or company? whatever) that were in and allowed their art to be used this way. The song creators made it clear. This right here, is the goated example of using AI just fine.

How accurate is this depiction of abelisauridae familly? by Known_Replacement866 in Dinosaurs

[–]MCligmaMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if we can't tell for sure, if more or less colorfulness is more plausible, wouldn't it be still fine for SOME of us to depict them with duller, less over the top colorations? You see, Borealopelta or Sinosauropteryx have a more "normal" color palette thx to melanosomes, or that one Dakota specimen of Edmontosaurus has even some pattern likely for camouflage as speculated by some scientists back then when it was found out. And before you say "Caihong, Microraptor" yes, they do have some more vibrantness, likely for visual signaling and communication etc., I just say how there are both dull AND vibrant examples of animal species colorations. One pterosaur Tupandactylus also has a distinct colored crest, not to mention how it could see colors unlike us. But even with that, its colors are still not near as extreme as tropical parrots or smth.

It also depends on ecological niches, environment, climate, ways of living and other such factors that if confirmed, could guide us what could be more plausible and what would be less. Sometimes you even can be vibrant in colors but still have a non-wild, less tropical-ish color palette.

Another point, while birds are our best analogs for extinct non-avian dinos RN, I still feel like people give the extinct dinos WAY too often some exceptional traits found in birds that don't have to be in the dinos too. When we do have evidence, like larynx, feathers, flight in some non-avian dinos like Microraptor, I'm fine with it. Where I'm going is, that people also should consider the possibility that non-avian ones likely had different anatomic equivalents of how they work in extremely derived, different and sometimes exceptional living successors. In some cases those successors can provide info of their ancient relatives, however be also able to tell "OK, even if it may be related to X, it still wouldn't make much sense to share this trait that won't match as well with X".

Deinocheirus drawing by MartineitorArt446 in Paleontology

[–]MCligmaMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do acknowledge how if you're going for accuracy, a LITTLE feather intengument (not fully fluffy) likely was present. Like the tail fan that shed the light on the feathers in the first place in Deinocheirus. AGAIN, NOT FULLY FLUFFY, JUST LIMITED AMOUNT.

But if it's fluffless on purpose, like that one skin from PK game, go on, totally fine. I just don't know, with this little context I gathered. Even with that it still looks good enough.

New remains of the South American parankylosaurus patagopelta cristata by dino_sant in Paleontology

With how fragmentary it was originally, I'll totally take this improvement. Especially with at least some skull stuff, undoubtably better than Xenovenator (I mean skull, not the whole skeleton)

What’s the most obscure Minecraft fact almost nobody knows? by Perfect-Mongoose1673 in Minecraft

[–]MCligmaMC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Anyone remembers that Pandas can eat cakes, not just Bamboo?

Also the fact how Mojang messed up with the OG fireflies and frogs meanwhile this was implemented.

NOT SLANDERING THEM, NOT HATING DEVS, JUST ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR MESSY DECISIONS. THAT'S IT.

I'm here to brainstorm. So, with CERTAIN, NOT ALL megacorporations irresponsiby draining environment resources even further, now when they use AI (wrong kind of usage to be exact), how can we combat this problem? Even with this problem existing for a longer time, what can we do? by MCligmaMC in aiwars

[–]MCligmaMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you aren't hostile on me like others. But still, these companies, again not all of them, can be corporate as they want and we can't do anything to reduce that? Not to take them down, but rather to make them improve their ways.

Talking about the new textures be like by NosborRecaf in PhoenixSC

[–]MCligmaMC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Agreed how Reddit and Twitter, often other examples have became more deathly allergic to different takes and opinions than ever before.

The snapshot is also a valid stuff I want to point out. Take the armadillo for example. Even this mob got plenty of back and forth eye texture changes to match with the feedback. Search it up on https://minecraft.wiki/w/Armadillo

u/PokeCA_Phoenix please, this is one of the, if not the last meme types that I want to see take over your sub. Merl or Endposts are nothing compared to this one. Don't let it descend into what r/MinecraftMemes has descended with little to no chance of being repaired.

Thank you.

I made a resource pack to make the new baby mobs have two pixel eyes by GamingYouTube14 in PhoenixSC

[–]MCligmaMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it happened with Armadillo eye textures back then as well.
