Platforms where one can post crappy failures or *truly* unfinished shit don't really exist anymore, do they? Like if you see people post WIPs on Bluesky/Twitter, they are NOT true WIPs. They're presented very carefully xD All created to fit the visual style of "rough work" but really, they aren't.

Best I've heard or seen is like, discord 'Servers' but that's such a shit way to have galleries or personal feeds or find anything once it gets buried in 500 messages of trivia or meme spam.. :Tc

I'll get canceled for being frank but who cares. Rest in Piss, Bioware. The people who made the best games of Mass Effect and Dragon Age left LONG ago. Hopefully EA turns greedy and sells the IP off to some developer who understands it. In the meantime Mass Effect is safe from being ruined next. >A>

(Tech) CEOs pimp AIslop art / code / music / writing so hard because they legitimately cannot tell that the output is shit. Like, they see an 8-fingered abomination of a game asset, nod to themselves: "so much money saved, I'll go fire some other artist next ahhahah!!!!11one" and ship it. @-@

Really this is something I had not even considered. "Obviously this asset is shit, look at anomalies A, B, C" - but they're not artists. They're glorified salesmen, they do not have any qualifications beyond that. 😶 They can't TELL how shit it is and think we're making a lot of noise over nothing.

Just something that I've been brooding over for the past days, being generally pissed at seeing the latest slop wave everywhere. I usually think it is malice or stupidity, but the average person (especially boomers and older) might just lack the cognitive skills to detect garbage when they see it.

That vibecoded Photoshop shit makes me 😡 If the vibeslop people had asked artists, they would NOT have been told: "Yea we totally want a slow, crashy, feature incomplete, unreliable lookalike of Photoshop that has a laughable laggy bad brush engine undeserving of the name. So useful UwU wots dis"

Don't praise those people, don't share the links and don't donate money to them. It's all just funded by the token-burning shit datacenters that absorb all of our PC hardware, and it is POINTLESS. Nothing is improved by making 500 Slopposhop copies. AI slop is the problem, not the solution. 😤

It's no different from praising a 'prompt artist' for prompting some ImageGenAI to "make a portrait in the style of [artist name here]". 100% slop coded shit with zero human coding is just that. "I told Claude to code a Photoshop" Wowwwwwwwww great job, you did NOTHING! You learned nothing! Niiice

Any 20yo copy of photoshop blows that crap out of the water in terms of efficiency, ability to deal with large files, and having a FECKIN' WORKING FEATURESET @M@ And you can't even complain to the vibecoder people because they didn't write the code and have *no* clue what it even does!

So between Fluxer and Stoat, what is the current favorite among the discord clones? The way I can see it, Stoat company = UK law, UK loves deleting privacy and anonymity in the name of the "KIDS" Fluxer company = Swedish EU law Are the swedes as evil as the brits when it comes to net laws? :u

To be fair I'd like to burn discord and all its clones in a big fire and see the net return to proper forums and messengers with some degree of privacy. But I'm also realistic because humans are an exceptionally lazy species when it comes to that kinda stuff :p

If discord tells me tomorrow that I'm a LIL YOUNG CHILD BOI DEX, then I won't correct that. Uwu/ It's my one chance to timetravel!! Also fuck them getting my personal data. Yeah, credit card ID shit is convenient. But that ain't really the point :V

Discord is not the internet. Yes, most forums migrated into there which is extremely foolish and lazy, but discord did not invent chatting, and they are not the only technical solution for it. :T They sure act like they are everyone's internet provider though. "TRUST US" Nah. I'm good.

So you see the DLSS 5 yassification filter and think "How the fuck could anybody LIKE this? Females don't look like that? Males neither!" I think part of the confusion is the underlying assumption that our species has a built-in, perfectly calibrated, natural idea of what normality and beauty is.

But that's bullshit. It's fiction that isn't labeled as such. And most people are guilty of perpetuating that problem. Ever posted an un-edited selfie somewhere? NO? Well then. No skin pores, less wrinkles, changed symmetry of the face, it's fake but treated as reality. Hence DLSS 5 exists.

It will disappear when we get rid of corporation-controlled algorithmic timelines and platforms and delete the advertisement industry. :T Until then... >A> Don't buy any videogames that ship with DLSS 5 integration. There are enough older/other games to enjoy that you've never tried yet.

I'm well aware of how massively exaggerated the proportions + sizes of bodies and dongs are since I construct the stuff for each artwork. I think there is one difference though. It's artwork, nobody here claims that there are blue muscular shark men with 1 meter cocks out there irl. You know this.

The DLSS 5 yassification crap is more problematic I think because just like the mainstream social media are filled to the brim with heavily edited, completely implausible 'humans' (often self inflicted onto selfies!), DLSS 5 alleges that those grotesque faces are based on real life. Not fiction.

There is a baseline. The unclothed, un-makeupped, un-filtered, un-beautified humans we are when we look into the mirror in the morning, but that's not what is propagated on the internet or the corporate platforms that most people hang out on. It's the fake shit instead. The marketable crap!

DLSS 5 is just a distilled version of that fake shit. It's a cultural problem and a problem of the internet as a whole, I think. :T This would also be true if DLSS 5 was a dick or tit injection filter. Do you think it would inject realistically sized dongers or cleavage? xD Of course not.

But I think this once more proves that it's a function of culture, environment and constant exposure. To the people who praise DLSS 5 as the second yassing of christ, this IS normal. Because it is what they've surrounded themselves with all day long (cheap/AI-made content/instagram reels/etc).

Witnessing that GTA6 gameplay footage just dropped my IQ by 200 points and gave me cancer. If I ever see anyone post "Sorry for my English, it is not my primary language" again, I'll point them at that trailer. The less ability to articulate your thoughts, the more gangster you are. Apparently. 💀

Seriously what the hell is up with that nose groove section that the shitey AI slop filter spams onto everything 🫣 Just felt like venting this frustration out of my system 😂 I hope it all burns in hell where it belongs #dlsslop #ngreedia #MYEYES #actuallypaintedbyhand

Holy crap. So I am forced to use Windows again temporarily while I do my artworking on a small secondary PC (room temp is melting me and my main workstation produces too much heat D; ) The constant fight AGAINST the OS that wants to snitch, sell you shit, show ads, update against your will... DAMN!

I hate Linux with a passion when it comes to the actual user software - file browsers suck ass, no good 2D/3D software, fragmented desktop ecosystems, wayland, etc - but it does NOT try to backstab you every 2.5 seconds like fucking Windows does! I forgot how bad it was!!! Geezuz fookin KRIPES 😡

I made the disturbing observation and realization that the majority of humanity only ever dreams of being humans. 🤨 Given the option of being anything else - for the moment digitally only - they choose to be yet another human (- skin pores, + fucking up their proportions) 🤔

I would really enjoy a change of tapestry once in a while! Cyborg? Sure why not! Hot shark demon something? Sure! Floating maintenance bot in a planet sized datacenter? Worth a try. Alien? Yeeeah. I'm quite happy with my body, nothing wrong with it. And I love being a male MUAHUAH! Just, variety!

Are there any studies into the percentages? Obviously I'm preaching to the choir here. Most of ye have colorful personal characters. But are there numbers on how this distribution looks like for the everyday selfie posters and boring people out there?
