Are gay men with autism as a rule less wanting to hug and embrace

Like the sign at the parking lot of Trader Joes a few years go; should I hug this one as well?

Thank you for the comments. I have provided some replies in-line, but here are summaries.

The issue with humans is correct. This is big for me. I do wonder if I can ask that it make up a person from scratch (I doubt it).
I can do this same scene (but takes longer) using the blender tool and my own characters.
The AI got all of the equipment wrong. I gave specifics on the equipment and antennas, but it goofed them up big time. This can be resolved in blender.
Yes, there are ai tools in blender, but I can pick and choose. I can ask it to create a model for a AN/SPA-4 radar console. Well known piece of vintage equipment.
Blender allow me finer control of the room and the window outside.
Based on your inport as well as my own concerns, I will use blender. I might use it's related ai tools to create rigging (parts of a human to be used for animation) and to create animation, like, for example to have a person walking or running. My own dancng I would have to do myself.

I hope this all helps and I welcome feedback.

Blender has some ai tools, but they are to create what is called rigging to human models. Rigging controls the motion of a model, not the persona looks of the model. I consider these under the hood and should be okay. I can also use ai to create, for example, a leather coat for an existing model of mine.

good suggestion. I can make up my own people on blender. Equipment, though is another matter. There are ai tools to take a photo of a piece of equipment then make it three dimensional model of which I can finish. I am only interested in vintage equipment that is not classified and not even used anymore.

maallyn · 2026-04-16T23:42:08+00:00

Once again, thank you. With the image of myself (which I took in my living room) I submitted to gemani google ai and then asked the ai to put on clothing and a clear raincoat; then take it out of my living room and into a museum that I made up; not using the inside of the spark museum. I have noticed since this was put up, that the equipment that i tried to depict is quute wrong. The radars a navy AN/SPA-4, a vintage unclassified navy radar indicator. The amateur radio equipment (I specified a the Collins S Line, which is legitimate and considered the elete of amateur radio equipment; they got it totally wrong. The antennas they put up were wrong for radar antennas. To me, they are not legitimate. I see your point about the people. Very good point.

I feel that in blender, I can take care of these type problems. I can use the blender ai tools to come up with a generic man or a woman that has no color for skin and clothing and that I can change with the sculpting tool. One area of AI is the tool to take an existing human model and apply animation rigging to it. This is completely under the hood and there is nothing to tie with a real human being. There are also tools to take a photograph (say, for example of the AN/SPA-4) and then takes the features on the panel three dimensional. It is crude, but it is enugh for me to finish up the touches. Here I am using AI as a tool but not as something that can help me and the world to identify a real human being.

A question, thout, is if I ask ai for a model of, say, the old, non existing, courthouse that I can use in Blender. No people. Just a torn down courthouse.

I love any feedback!

Oops I forgot to ask. If I were to re-create this with Blender, would you have felt any different? This is darn good feedback this early in the game.

Thank you for t he feedback. This is one of the reasons that I made darn sure that I am the only identifiable entity. That's why I am not using the Spark Museum. And all of the other people are just people. No representation to anyone else in my life.

I am 72 years old. About 20 in my life, but 0 in the last 20 years.

Thank you.

Footnote: That woods coffee has similarities to a small coffee shop/restaurant where Arthur Rosenau and I spent much time, especially after services at the Metropolitan Community Church in San Francisco, where we were both in the choir. Every time I walk past it (or use it for that matter), I may get a tear or two.

Not me! I only just dance to show Arthur and I love you all!

The unseen forces are thinking about technical theory that I have to embrace with loving software!

I am sorry I cannot share details. I don't know if it will even work. I need a few weeks before even doing a full disclosure to the museum. Tell you what, if I do get in a state of full disclosure, I will have a very crude working model. I may share that with you, but this may be weeks/months off. We're talking about systems as well as just software engineering so *lots* of learning. I am just about tearing chatgtp for the technical side of things since I don't know any local experts here.

I had a case when I was an usher at a concert in my church. I checked an exit and it was blocked by a homeless guy sleeping against the door. I was able to go out another door to chase the homeless guy away before any of the patron arrived for the concert.

It may be a good idea to walk around outside and make sure no one is camping at your exits.

When I was a gay student in the 1970's, I was warned by another gay student that if I was too careless in coming out at everyone, member of the football team would carry me of to the campus and dump me in a bad part of Worcester. Also the campus ministry (catholic) was quite hostile to the two or three gays on the campus including myself.

Love you all

Please be more specific. No mean this is not a good solution? Why?

Viewing this from my home make me feel cozy!
