fuck it, take a quick cropped wip of their concept page with a closeup of their eye

I'm actually thinking of making one or both of their ears cocked, still need to sketch it out and see how I feel about it

anyway, this is Kai Maera (they/them), my most recent brain child

It shouldn’t take him getting sued to ensure tens of millions don’t go hungry in the richest nation on Earth.
Tweet from Meredith Lee Hill stating that dozens of Democratic attorneys general and governors plan to sue the Trump administration for refusing to use emergency funds to maintain food aid for 42 million Americans.

anyway, my ZZZ OC has been a huge help in giving my brain a break from......everything going on irl right now. and I know that probably no one cares, cuz it's hard for any OCs to get any attention, but idc I'm having fun and will ramble away about them anyway one of these days
A frame from the show The Good Place. A brunette woman with an intense expression is holding up a picture frame to show to a blonde woman standing across from her. The picture in the frame has been edited to be a black rectangle with white font that reads "my OC". Along the bottom of the image is a subtitle in white text that reads, "[growling] Look at them! Look at them!"

We're getting there!

#kobold
A drawing featuring a mock-up of a purple egg shaped tamagotchi shell, however this one says koboltchi and features a little pixelated kobold rather than a tamagotchi on the display. The design of the shell is loosely based on the tamagotchi connection featuring a little gem shaped antennae on the left. There is a little kobold shaped tamagotchi charm attached to the right of the shell. There are pictures of kobolds in the style of older tamagotchi along with gems and sparkles as part of the print design on the shell.

Regardless of how you feel about the state of COVID, a mass public gathering like FanFest is a breeding ground for all sorts of illnesses. Masking up minimizes the spread of all sorts of contagions.

Y'know how people talk about con funk or con flu? yeah, masking will help with that. please mask up.

I remember seeing so many people go after the field boss named Cancer, shouting "FOR SOKEN" in the chat while doing so

I beg of y'all, if you truly want to defend Soken, then PLEASE mask up if you attend FanFest! Let that mask be your shield to protect Soken and others that are immunocompromised!!

Friendly but firm reminder that Soken, as a cancer survivor, is immunocompromised and will never have a healthy immune system ever again.

IF YOU CAN’T BE ASSED TO MASK UP FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR FELLOW CON-GOERS, THEN MASK UP FOR SOKEN.

with fanfest coming back around people are reflecting on the furry covid comic about it but as someone who went, there were shockingly few people actually wearing masks. if you go this year i’d really recommend an N95. people knowingly go to huge public events with infectious diseases.

meanwhile, all those jobs that immigrants had (typically farm work) are struggling to be filled cuz no one who bitched about them "taking jobs" wants to work those jobs.

so it's ironic that the same people who attacked immigrants for stealing jobs tend to also promote tech that is....stealing jobs.

for anyone who may not get what I mean... Generative AI is actively stealing jobs from those in creative fields (artists, writers, animators, voice actors, photographers, etc), stealing jobs from translators, and even seems to be going for education in some ways. Gen AI is the real job thief here.

Something I've noticed: the same people who say we need to get over our dislike of generative AI cuz it's here to stay tend to be the same kind of people who say that immigrants are stealing our jobs.

.......i dunno, just a thing I really cannot help but notice

exactlyyyy!! Just because it's there doesn't mean we have to roll over and accept it as is! Gen AI needs to be regulated if it's really gonna stick around! There's too many risks with it, not to mention how it's affecting the job market for those in the arts, plus education!

In late September, Mihoyo was promoting in person events with the phrase β€œregarding injecting a soul into AI”

Here are some parts I found interesting/unsettling.

Note: I don’t know the PRECISE context or how it might apply to their games etc, but I think the language being used is notable.
A promotional image for the events that says β€œhey we’d like to meet you to discuss injecting soul into AI” β€œWhat we are doing is an interesting, soulful and unique β€˜model’ In response to user questions, the model may give subjective and biased answers, rather than being objective and neutral. The model may not be absolutely correct, but it must be a model with a story. You may not necessarily regard it as a smarter assistant, but you will definitely regard it as someone you would like to talk to. If you share the same thoughts on Al as us, why not have a chat in person.” Discuss cutting-edge Al topics with like-minded individuals Multimodal real-time interaction The Performance Aesthetics of "Digital Actors" How to inject soul into Al Digital people with souls A future generated in real time Al soul casting humanized Al role play Al entertainment Next generation content engine ...
