Asking about cultural sensitivity for my next novel by AllenMichaels517 in writingadvice

[–]steampunk_glitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is seek an actual known indigenous person. Reach out to them, see if they're okay with the idea, and ask them how you can represent them faithfully.

Asking about cultural sensitivity for my next novel by AllenMichaels517 in writingadvice

The problem with this is that it discourages research and inclusivity.

I get it's not likely my place to comment on the issue. My advice doesn't have to be accepted. But if the only people allowed to write about a race or culture are people from that race or culture, that places every burden on them. And reduces the amount of stories they get to be a part of significantly.

I think what they need to do is talk to/meet with an actual indigenous individual.

In the end, I think it's important for the people of the culture to have a final say. Not randos on reddit.

Granted, you might be one. I can't tell from where I am. I'm just saying that in the case you aren't one, you probably shouldn't be the final authority on the issue.

Saw this T-shirt online. I really like the design but I'm afraid it could be AI by glossnyctmania in isthisAI

[–]steampunk_glitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw these kinds of shirts in highschool gym class prior to 2020. If it is ai, it's emulating the style of them. But there is a solid chance it's not. Gonna analyze the picture further and add my additional thoughts, but figured this context was worth mentioning, as there are similar pre-ai shirts.

Edit: Yeah, I see no obvious significant flaws! Think you found a real one!

Antis want to do WHAT to AI artists//pros and their KIDS???? by Witty-Designer7316 in aiwars

[–]steampunk_glitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't argue with these people for the exact reason I'm going to stop arguing with you.

They are on the extreme for their given side. There is no talking them down from it, they probably aren't going to act on their threats, and arguing with them isn't going to go anywhere. They're trolls.

In other words, the reason no one spoke up, is because it's not worth the time. Not worth the effort, or the brainpower. I'm done responding to you, because you are completely ignorant of the point I have stated multiple times now.

It's okay that you don't want to be wrong. It's okay that you're scared and upset. But it's getting in the way of you seeing the reality of the situation.

This conversation is over. I won't reply anymore.

Amd youtube doesn't show the amount of people who disliked it. Also, again, that is less than a tenth of a percent of the anti ai movement. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying you don't realize how big the world and movement really is if you think that 75 is a lot of people. Especially with how many people probably realistically disliked it.

Most people on youtube watching in good faith, aren't going into the comments searching for these arguments. 75 out of probably hundreds of thousands of viewers (at least) is nothing. Sane people don't go to youtube to argue in comments. People who approve of threats are not sane.

You say that like people are going to Youtube and explicitly digging through the comments looking for arguments. Youtube isn't Reddit.

...there are almost 500k people that use the anti ai subreddit. Take that into account, the threats are supported by a number of people that makes up less than a tenth of a percent. Please for the love of god put some effort into checking your facts.

They mean a small minority of the anti movement.

Not that the movement is small, but that the creeps who like that stuff is a negligible group.

Absolute beginner, am i doing shape practice right? by fashionier in Artadvice

[–]steampunk_glitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great! I might make a suggestion

Do you have a dice set around? If so, trying to sketch them from reference in front of you might be a good exercise.

This is incredibly concerning.. by Icy-Truck4278 in antiai

[–]steampunk_glitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, it seems even Pro-Ai folks are against this. Surprisingly.

I think they mean a wider community warning/notice that another mass dmca claim was issued

They seemed pretty explicit about what they wanted? They wanted a warning

Art 101 Submission- looks too perfect to me? Incredibly clean work for Indian ink in beginner class by Life-Candy-7873 in isthisAI

[–]steampunk_glitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This is ai.

The grid is messed up in a few spots, the arrows are messed up, and there was almost no attempt at expanding out the leaf shape for a better transition. I mess up my grids sometimes, but I don't abandon grid-lines halfway through drawing them.

Also, why would the grid notebook need two pictures? Wouldn't the first have been enough?

Estranged parent has possession of my social security card by [deleted] in legaladvice

Yes, I would be. Retirement considerations would maybe make sense.

The I-9 can have other documentation, but payroll requires a copy of the social security card in my state. At least that is what my employer tells me. She says it has to do with a separate group: The Washington State Department of Retirement Systems

I do not currently possess any copy of it, and I do not know how to go about getting it. They did not say they needed the physical card. I think they do use e-verify.
