I want to make my stance clear on AI. -LLMs and machine learning are not inherently evil. They have uses. -Cloud computing is not inherently evil. owning specialized hardware to do a niche task is expensive. -Using the cloud to access LLMs is fine, if you aren't making slop

I welcome anyone to tell me off in the replies, but please read the entire thread first. I don't really want to keep having to make this case to people in response to my recent changes to Momulator.

The reason I have chosen to experiment with Momulator running a LLM is because I love games that allow free expression. Facade was so cool to me until I learned how on rails it is. I wanna make cannoli react to the player. The technology to do this without a LLM is just too limited.

Idk. I think that obnoxious losers pushing this tech into everything is mega annoying and hurting people. I just don't think that means the tech itself is demonic. It's the same thing as the dot-com bubble. People rush to misuse an emerging technology for money and make a lot of awful choices.

I think that machine learning is fascinating. I recognize it's currently being misused by a bunch of idiotic billionaires who don't respect art and think it can be shat out by a machine. I don't think there is a long list of reasons we should be able to generate images or video. It looks bad anyways

(1/5) This is Empress Venus! A charismatic, nurturing dragon, who's been hard at work breeding herself her very own empire! A mother to at least a thousand, she owes her fertility and resulting shape to the powerful amulet she wears. #ocs #nsfw #empressvenus #venus #ocpost #furry #hyper

Updated Venus's height ref! Finally bit the bullet and made her a side view! took some figuring out given her unique shape. also separated her accessories onto their own layer! (she also got an extra pair of horns and a navel now :) ) #oc #venus

Intimirouse. I am claiming this word. Put it in the dictionary right now. Intimirouse - To allure, attract, or captivate someone specifically through a display of physical dominance, danger, or raw power. Agua would crush a watermelon in her jaws just to intimirouse you.

finally feeling like drawing again since the move. been wanting to update Agua's ref for a long time. so i'm working on that. 2nd pic is her old one. I feel good about the proportions in this new one. i think she is starting to look more "Agua" shaped.

crazy ask, but does anyone know any art programs might allow me to do vector lineart with reasonable ease? i have CSP, and i feel like i saw something about that, but i haven't used my copy enough to really learn the deeper stuff. My process already involves excessive redrawing of lines...

#ocpost time again! that thing i started doing and forgot about after 4 days, where i reintroduce some my OCs, one by one! (1/5) It's Ube! A spunky sphinx cat! She is an expert in fashion design, and also the menu of every diner in town. #ocs #ube #ocpost #furry

This post shows the purple ref, and the inaccurate previous version of her size ref.

I think this summarizes my mission statement as an artist pretty well. All of my OCs could perform aerial attacks if determined to. There is absolutely nothing hotter to me than a woman who could kick my ass but chooses not to.

I've learned that weight gain on its own doesn't do much for me. Women gaining XP, growing stronger, fatter, taller, curvier, hornier, scarier, more feral, more fertile, however, is everything. Stat distribution. Women of all sizes deserve to be able to vanquish their enemies (me) with a moonsault.

(5/5) A long time ago, i made Ube some "pokemon-style" evolutions. As a long time fan of women with leveling systems, her ability to change in this way is "probably canon", but temporary.

(2/5) Ube is something of a serial dater. She doesn't seem to know what kind of partner she's looking for, but she'd never turn down a meal date, even if she's already had 8 of those today. She treats dating apps like a restaurant menu, not afraid to let eager suitors foot the bill.

the initial purpose of this code was to compile each front view onto one grid background, from shortest to tallest. I was doing this manually with all characters in one project file, but it got sluggish to edit this file, and firealpaca won't let me go past 20000px wide. Here's the current one:

I want to find a way to release this at some point, to make creating this kind of thing easier for others. my perfectionism is likely to cause further delay in this.
