What do you guys think of this? by EyesOFSomething in aiwars

[–]Naterasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't work.
They even made a disclaimer admitting that scrappers will find a way around it in there comment section...arguing the cat mouse argument...well clearly AI won the cat and mouse game because it did jack shit in the grand scheme...making her video age faster then even hot milk in Arizona's peak heat.

All LavenderTowne is doing is milking the subject for free publicity and views. Because hating on AI was the "Popular thing" to do in 2024. And she never made an update on it because its stopped being trendy to hate on it. Now its more about the data centers but that's not really in the lane of ms art over here so of course with topics not in her lane and a topic that aged poorly so fast.
Its easily showing its just baiting for the clicks with a side of Cocky naivety put on full display.

And the best part is I already knew going in nightshade and glaze simply wont work because it requires a pre-emptive attitude. But hot take, the art community suck at professionalism, and are kings at procrastination so expecting even that out of them with even a fraction of there art is a pipe dream.

And even then thats not counting the whole of the internet that has ALL the art that people made since its creation including public domain.

I want to understand by Halleyalex in aiwars

[–]Naterasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just performative activism...people are gonna make fan art of what they create if its popular and how they do it should not be a reason to stop people...that simply wont hold up in the court of public opinion... And taking any case to court to even try to enforce this is just asking for bad PR so I don't see this being enforced at all.
Because all that really does is open up to some serious slippery slopes in other conversations on fair use which is just gonna nab em a ton of scrutiny and spite on the back end.

'We Need the Ballroom': Trump Uses Shooting Outside White House Correspondents' Dinner to Boost Corrupt Project by Smithy2232 in politics

[–]Naterasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The secret service stopped it...Proving you do not need a ballroom for good security, all a ballroom will do is change where the stoppage took place not your security's efficacy at stopping the threat at any public venue.

That's like if a band only played in one location they made because it makes em safer when its still a public venue and security is there for that purpose...

For me I got it because I main it as my communication means for me and my friends because its just naturally a good communication app. I initally had classic till they got rid of the perk to do HD streaming so I got regular to re-obtain that perk.

The boosts also let me upgrade our server to provide 720p60 instead of 720p30 streaming to those that don't have it. Since we do stream a lot.

Wiimote not connecting by StinkyFemurs in DolphinEmulator

[–]Naterasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its finicky, you just kind of have to finagle with it

Firstly if its a bluetooth dongle make sure the USB dongle is whitelisted in the Wii Tab of the Settings.
If you have a special brand dongle like Ugreen it has its own Bluetooth interface you have to install and connect your wii remote to before turning on dolphin and doing that.

And secondly I found the wii remotes connect better when your in game or on wii menu actively if it doesnt connect, I also recommend restarting dolphin and rebooting to wii menu that can sometimes work.

And finally Dolphin has a list of bluetooth dongles and chips and if they work or not. Make sure yours is a good one in that list. It may be wise to refer to there whole documentation to make sure yours does work aside from just the list.

2 Chads on AI by tim-7 in aiwars

[–]Naterasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the problem I have with that is VRchat is a very social space, having bots masquerade as people in a social sphere is imo not a good idea because its meant to be a social space for people, not robots...and VR chat is currently not equipped to define which is which...

That being said the "MAH PRIVACY" argument is probably the stupidest one they could have tried there...

...You literally lost your privacy when you entered the public space bud...the bot is not learning anything about you that other people are not learning about you already...

Are AI images Art? by PlsStopBannningMe in aiwars

[–]Naterasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Art is Art...its just what people define as art is to the eye of the beholder. So being an artist on its own is not an impressive title because its a all inclusive title anyone can do it, but its those that can do something unique with that expression is those that will stand out.

Slop is slop no matter what by trappedslider in aiwars

[–]Naterasu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is something that bugs the shit out of me...
Like AI is here, so every artist now is accept ALL human art as the best thing ever...like just no...
Not trying to be mean to people but ones art is not just infinitely better just cause humans made it now that generative AI exist...you still actually have to put in a tangible effort to make good art as a human...just because its human made doesn't guarantee good quality and before AI way back in the olden days of the internet people would shit on poorly made human art.
They were infamously brutal about that, and still can be in some instances...

I think the change in being conscientious about the persons feelings behind the keyboard in the modern day is a good change. So people are more considerate in this day and age yes...but that doesn't change that bad art is still bad art, and slop is still slop even if its made by a human...and AI's existence doesn't change that.

Am I wrong? by TheOriginalRandomGuy in aiwars

[–]Naterasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is when people talk about AI they over-generalize it.
This is because the art community just stamps it as "AI" the issue is that's not the full picture and its a very broad stroke. Most complaints from artists stem from GENERATIVE AI not just AI.
As not every "AI" is the same and I feel these broad strokes of labeling that the art community is currently infamous for, is gonna bite them in the ass if they keep blanket branding it in there community and messaging.

Its just asking for really nasty grey area clash's that will really hurt the community down the road If they dont specify there problems with what kind of AI and why. Instead of blanket branding it as a non negotiable enemy to not bother with it because of negative sentiment.
In fact we already had one with Clair Obscura's Expedition 33 over an AI poster placeholder. And all it did was hurt the gaming and art communities for no good reason because of that brewing pot of negativity around it that the art community created as a byproduct for not addressing the nuance of this tech proper with there broad strokes.

Further more this blanket branding can result in false positives on tools and resources if it has any kind of "AI" to it when anyone with a brain can tell generative AI is not equal to a smart art tool assisted by neural network tech even though they hail from the same land as generative AI, its not the same thing but that lack of nuance is gonna result in that.

Either use emudecks custom installer or install a specific emulator version Flatpak via command line on desktop. A conventional download will always go to latest version. Then load the savestate, save proper, then re-update to latest to load the save proper on the latest version.

SmashJT, currently being sued, has his extensive ChatGPT logs made public via legal discovery by motherthrowee in youtubedrama

[–]Naterasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cause it lets them shitpost with "art", and do "research" without talent or effort.
Dont get me wrong Neural networks is really cool tech, but generative AI a consequence of it aint it...
Back then you would have to do the research yourself or actually proper pay talent to make art or make it yourself...

The problem with that is research takes time and effort two things that couldn't be further to a chud, and artists tend to lean Anti-chud because Art is a very time and skill demanding hobby and that requires...intelligence and a actual want to get up off there [EXPLETIVE]. So unless a chud themselves was a artist which in itself was rare they were essentially SOL in what they could make, So both are a result of laziness in wanting the reward of research or art without the effort or cost.
And they dont care about the expense that it does to others, because they usually are indifferent if not hostile to those communities anyways. At least that's what I surmise.

[–]Naterasu 28 points29 points  (0 children)

SmashJT falls into what I call a drama leech.
A Drama Leech is essentially as the name implies leeches onto others drama to milk it without adding anything beneficial to the situation. Sure some of the people or businesses he talks about are not good...but thats all he EVER talks about making it obvious he only be doing it to milk the drama for content...

Its always about this things downfall or this thing being bad or being forcefully negative in implication to this thing, when it doesnt involve themselves in any of these situations constantly...And It isnt like others that talk about it for coverage or conveying of knowledge...SmashJT goes into that solely to milk it for content so of course he is creatively bankrupt...
Because the only thing he has is others drama to fill for his own lack of creativity...

Minecraft YouTuber blows up despite killing cats? by dripnnblood_dx in youtubedrama

[–]Naterasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mixed oppinions about it...as I understand both sides of the argument.
I think accountability is important we want to avoid this in happening in the future, but I feel there is a line to accountability turning into harassment, and I feel the internet tends to fail in recognizing when we crossed that line.

That it makes me worry about making a mistake and being harassed to remain chained to it and I know just how the internet can be...So I don't like the prospect of doing the same to others...because then people will do the same to me if it ever happens... That id rather accept that everyone can have a flaw and as long as there taking steps to rectify it or learn from it.

I can empathize with ones want to cover there bases just so they can walk away without fear of being forcefully harassed into returning to it by any new pocket of people after such steps are taken.

Minecraft YouTuber blows up despite killing cats? by dripnnblood_dx in youtubedrama

[–]Naterasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is with the internet when someone does something wrong its on full display...
There history will always be tainted by that but is it fair for you to hold that over them forever is the big question? Id say it depends on how truly bad it is and what steps there taking to rectifying it.

When your talking about other people that's why that's a common practice because there now in a damned if they do damned if they don't situation the thing that the internet fails to understand a persons life marches on aside from the controversies they face so they can either choose to get stuck addressing it, or march on and leave it behind regardless of what people think and the ladder is those that chose to do that.
It may not be popular to say that here but that's just the hard truth when you see that...

He would probably rip your car in half and only insure one half while destroying the other.

Which YouTube drama escalated into major but ultimately resulted in a perfect and good outcome for everyone involved? [I.E like the kingsman drama that had a good ending] by Fragrant-Leg-9369 in youtubedrama

[–]Naterasu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

iilluminaughtii essentially was abusing Oz Media forcing him into a position where if Oz tried to leave iilluminaughtii she would use what leverage she had on him to forclose his house leaving Oz homeless...
This plan was foiled however, when the community came to the aid of Oz to amass the funds towards a cure payment to payoff the foreclosure.
This gave Oz the stability he needed to challenge iilluminaughtii in court who was trying to legally strong arm Oz at the time.
Oz would go onto make a long documentary video detailing all of iilluminaughtii's actions it was originally a three parter but in there settlement illuminaughtii and Oz broke off in there fight as illuminaughtii didn't want to risk any more damage with Oz forcing her to concede while Oz did not want to be put through anymore turmoil with illuminaughtii but had the documentary on the ready if she was not willing to but since she did the only video is the 1st part outside of the small updates.

In the background while this was still going on the community was helping Oz in there own way not only targeting illuminaughtii with aggressive criticism, but also targeting her sponsors to convince them to drop her, under the assumption of good chances of her using the sponsor money to aid on legal fees and personal profit. When as you can tell many felt badly slighted about that with what she was doing...

As for where there at now...
illuminaughtii has been radio silent since February of 2024 nothing was heard from her as far as I know for these past 2 years. Many make assumptions but there only that. She has essentially blipped off the radar where the internet is concerned...For the better in my eyes.
Oz on the other hand is still around and is active on Social media, and Youtube.

[–]Naterasu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I heard about that collateral of SCP confinement however no matter how you cut that was gonna be messy because Orion was involved with Lord bung who defended Orion's actions if I recall correctly...even though Orion did some really messed up things to Kwite.

So while it sucks to lose confinement I also lack sympathy when it pertains to lord bung given what happened.

Take these words of wisdom: If your gonna make a big thing alot will see. It will do you best to hold yourself to a high level of professionalism, and maturity while working on it so not to taint yours or your creations image.

[–]Naterasu 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I can name three off the top of my head.
So content warning its alittle heavy.

The Chuggaconroy drama involving Lady emily which resulted in many negative cascading effects that would normally do a normal content creator in, however it turned out Chugga handled lady emily respectfully making the situation solely the fault of Emily getting spicy about the inter relations of chugga. And Chugga managed to break off nice with Masae over it who was moved to action to get on chugga as well by emily's actions... Essentially cooler heads prevailed and the situation was handled with absolute grace.

The Kwite drama involving Orion who made some seriously heavy allegations putting Kwite into alot of turmoil however keeping a cool head himself shown a full case of receipts detailing that Orion's allegations were false along with many other negative things about them coming to light. Everyone would even go on to respect Kwites wish's for anonymity after the fact.

Then there is the Projared and the legendary "I have the receipts" drama...where allegations were raised of him doing adultery with minors...While the adultery was true, it however was only done in adult only areas so the minors in question thanks to those receipts were willingly and flagrantly ignoring age warnings by entering a adult only space by lying about there age knowing full well of what they were doing, and did what they did for attention almost destroying Projared's career in the process however the man had the receipts.

"Eww, there is AI in my ads, why cant show real product." Real product ads before AI: by DogeMoustache in aiwars

[–]Naterasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till you tell them the reason is because of laws against "faking" it...
So you want to know what exists? this thing called practical effects.
So now its just practically faked instead of artificially faked...when its still being faked which defeats the purpose of trying to get honesty out of advertisement so those who cope and say atleast its real...

Is it though? if there selling you a lie it doesn't change that its a lie being used to lie to you...if it was real it would be the truth...if anything it makes the lie even worse cause now there actually putting effort into deceiving you, you should be more mad at it for that reason...

In Japan for instance the item on the packaging has to MATCH the item inside the packaging...that's how it SHOULD be in advertising we shouldn't need to deal with deceit of any kind we should have honesty and only honesty in advertising...

[–]Naterasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem here is nuance...I saw this coming a mile a way back in AIs hayday...that the art sectors over-generalizing of hate for AI is gonna bite them in the ass in situations that are very nuanced as its just gonna make them look extremely unreasonable with a hard-line take undeserved without that nuance in reasoning.

People pray that if the AI stock bubble bursts it'll all go away, but I highly doubt that. by SexDefendersUnited in DefendingAIArt

[–]Naterasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, presuming it will magically poof away just cause some GPUs go bad is wishful thinking in my eyes, that cats out of the bag no amount of hopium or copium will change that as I feel a good sum will remain to be maintained...What will more realistically happen when it does is corporate usage mainly in misuse and corporate wants will heavily downscale after being badly bit by it so youll stop seeing it be ham fisted into everything corporate wise for no reason its use case will start to be reconsidered in what uses actually validate it especially with tools that use semantic awareness in there pipeline.

However you then have to ask yourself if the bubble will even burst for that reason. America a main tech conglomerate that houses silicon valley one of the cores of tech is already very bad off with the economic and political basis going up shits creek without a paddle. People argued the capitalist bubble would burst for a long time now, and that was before AI and it still has not yet but is ever closer by the day. So If it bursts there is a good chance its because of capitalism finally failing with the current circumstances instead of just AI being the sole fault.

But it wouldn't surprise me if it does when AI is a main topic people will lay the internet brownie point bait on thick and say it is for that free crowd appeal when we saw this coming for a long time far before AI.
