dude the FF9 shrine in Resonance is so comically loaded with spoilers and then the FF15 one is so vague it doesn't even name a single character besides Noctis

its always funny when people bring up AI being this cure all for people with disabilities when everything thats pushed is total useless bunk

It's even more angering to me when other trans people will see "cringe" trans art and say that it's "setting the community back" or "making us look bad". Actually transphobes are going to hate us no matter what, you're just miserable and want everyone else to hate themselves like you do

JenWave1995@jenwave1995.bsky.social

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

nothing makes it feel more like someone genuinely cares about people with disabilities than starting off with "clearly you're challenged" regardless, it's the classic case of lumping into completely different kinds of "AI" with the stuff people actually don't like (gen AI)

Okay, since you're clearly challenged LLMs can be used for organisation and note taking Speech to text models can be used for more accurate dictation Text to speech models can be used for people with speech disorders Machine vision can be used for sight disabilities Do u want me to list more im

it's the same whataboutism as "oh, you're opposed to chatgpt? so you hate the idea of cancer being cured?"

people always use vague phrasing like "can be an assistive technology" because there's no actual argument for what the kinds of AI people don't like does for a disabled person that's essential or valuable

AI can be an assistive technology and demonising anyone who uses it no matter the context is ablism And I WISH I fucking glowed that would be so cool, unfortunately I don't.

trying to generate something you want using AI is exponentially more frustrating the more ability you have to actually make something, because you won't be satisfied with a vague facsimile of the thing you want

there's a reason why whenever people talk about how awesome AI movies or games will be present an idea like "what if me, the person, had to decide the fate of Doctor Who's TARDIS on the field of thundercats vs transformers"

I saw a theoretical "use" for gen AI art where an artist who lost the ability to use their hands or other physical means of drawing could use AI to continue to make art and that's just such an attitude only someone who doesn't make art could come up with

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

I pinpointed the thing that really cut down my "trust the plan" reserves for FF7 Revelation btw an argument I used to use a lot to explain why I was fine with Remake not being faithful was pointing out how boring it'd be if by part 3 you're just seeing the midgar raid again after however many years

I'd genuinely assume that Nomura not being the director made them try to back off and please everyone at the cost of a strong vision

it's a specifically targeted thing that highlighted to me how despite presenting the game in a way that pissed off purists, despite apparently needing to be an action game, in the end they're doing exactly the thing I said a boring remake would do

it honestly feels so lame to feel kinda tepid about what looks like a really good game, the previous two parts of which I enjoyed a lot, I really wanted some crazy nomura shit, and if they hadn't stated that they decided on the direction of the plot and would never change regardless of feedback

and in one of the revelation interviews they offhandedly mentioned how the midgar raid sequence was just like in the original and had to be rewritten because now he party have used parachutes before

isn't it crazy that an AI generated film still needs a 1.5 million dollar budget like that's small for a film but it's still so much for what's supposed to be a thing where you can just type in the movie you want and get it

ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.
