Eh, we've played that game already back before X was X. Because they're verified accounts, nothing will happen.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 4h

To be fair, all the sock puppet accounts are marked as verified. So even if it is those in charge puppeting them, in theory they are the true accounts for the various departments. Still trolls and people should stop feeding them, but I get it.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah, there's a bunch of US Gov accounts being created and verified, all to troll. Remember, don't feed the trolls. Block and move on.

The first posts from each of the “government” accounts were overt trolling. They are only here to troll and ensure the strange propaganda reaches more eyes thru counter rage-posts. I say this with reluctance as I yearn for the days when government accounts were for facts. CYA and block.

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.

You act as if the diaperfur being on the front page doesn't bring genuine positivity into his life. Not only is that pretty hilarious, but the furry community tends to be a source of positivity in general.

That's nice art. Though yeah, you'll likely have to simplify it. I will note, it is probably better to find the tattoo artist you plan to use and work with them on simplifying the art because they'll (hopefully) know what works best on skin.

Yep, found the settings and they were on. Now they're not!

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Screenshot from Windows Settings>Privacy and Security>Text and image Generation.

Though I will also note that as someone who makes my main income by a creative effort? Yeah, I'm against the infinite copyright theft machines. I don't care what you have to say about how it doesn't have to be. The major models were made with copyrighted material. That isn't up for question.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 1d

I think the more important thing is that all the current major Gen-AI companies are acting like their original vision of figuring it out and gaining a monopoly hasn't fallen through. They've taken money based on the promise and all signs are pointing to no one yet being able to win the prize.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 2d

Yes please! Feed the children. Hell, I'm not only for feeding them in school where we force them to be (as an adult you have to pay me to force me to be somewhere yet we can't even spring to feed kids when we do the same to them?). I'm all for feeding them period. No kid should go without food.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 3d

Especially weird when I'm sure they scrapped more than a few guides and past answers for the SAT as a part of the training material.

It isn't fair on the face of it because Gen-AI and humans have different strengths. This would be like a human celebrating the fact they passed one of those tests they use for bipedal robots. Like, duh, you're a human and have an inmate sense of balance.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 4d

No, just his glasses

1 Scooby-Doo
2 Murder She Wrote

Well, those are the ones off the top of my head. Not my normal genre to watch.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 5d

On the other hand? Maybe for a short story it would get more eyes on the story? Not like I can afford to put much advertising behind it so I'm not expecting much.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 5d

I'm doing a final editing pass of a short story I wrote earlier this year. Then I just have to draw a cover for it and I'll be publishing it to Amazon. I'm not going to bother with KU. I read a bit on it with my last published story and it didn't seem worthwhile.

And pitchforks. We're dealing with kings so we need to go old school.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

What? Like, if anything? Right now kids need your work even more than ever! You don't magically become trans, queer, or whatever else when you hit adulthood.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 7d

I make rampant use of [animal]kin and [animal]folk for all the various humanoid animal sorts and spellcheck does not like it at all. Like, yes, I do mean cattlekin. Who else would play the role of cowboys?

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 7d

I think a part of it is we need to nail down the line between algorithms and stuff like LLMs. Because a washer doesn't need anything even close to an LLM or what would be described as "AI". You practically don't even need an algorithm. Just a few look up tables based on settings.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 7d

There is one thing that might make Gen-AI a winner for me. It is close to genie and like a genie, they take your wish and twist it. Also, while scare quotes are generally understood, there are enough examples of people using them wrong.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 8d

There is no mandated length for chapters in a book. Though in general I see people bandy about the 1k to 5k range with somewhere in the middle being a good place to stop if you aren't sure. You are ("sure" that is), so even if you fell outside of the number, whatever.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 9d

Yeah, my stories have a small main cast because even as the author, I sometimes have a hard time keeping track.

Akhier Dragonheart @akhier.bsky.social · 9d

If they actually went that far, this would be a self solving problem.

Lunar rabbit! They need some moon cakes to go with their tea.
