Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys that the 2024 Cholan-Legion Diplomatic Summer Summit is currently going on! Me, cloudkitty, Elightin_elytra, and Rob333 are all meeting to discuss our alliance and what our future plans for it are. Nothing major has happened yet, outside of the fact that the Cholan Empire Territory on our island has expanded. Luckily, no borders have needed to be redrawn, as there was some unused land in the area they expanded their region to.

I TOUCHED GRASS TODAY

I had a lengthy talk with my Mother about AI art and how discouraging it is growing up and wanting a future in creating media

AI art is not and never will be actual art because the whole point in art is expression and soul and actual intentional creation as opposed to blatant theft and exploitation of passion

The fact that some companies use AI to “””””””””Fix””””””””” the “”””””””””Imperfections”””””””””” that literally is what defines art and gives it perspective is genuinely sickening and rotten

It takes a certain type of scumbag to generate an image that is based entirely on someone else’s talent and claim it as their own and if you are one of those people you can let me know in the comments so I can block you

I think that the proper point in a program that can learn from its mistakes are things like chat bots that can help you with what you’re trying to do instead of just doing it on its own

It just feels so backwards that humans do chores so AI can have fun

Anyway apologies for the negativity but AI is one of few things that actually pinches a nerve for me and I know I’ve talked about it before but it’s going to stay a problem until something actually happens about it (Which it won’t because why would the billionaires who run the world ban something that saves them money)

Daily reminder! The Forever Remembered Jam has 37 more days to go!

(For context, this jam is a jam that allows you to make a tribute to anyone and everyone)

I'll be doing reminders every 3 three days!
