Sorry to hear that, Cat. I don’t think some of the people in these positions realise how much harm they can do. Especially since there’s so few options.

Hope you’re doing okay.

Means I should have the time to get some extra art done for it. Which is nice. Mostly because I don't find much time to draw anymore and I can feel the rust.

Will be nice to have an excuse to shake that off.

Are they saying they did that FOR EVERY FRAME? They had character sheets (that they definately drew and didn't AI generate after the fact) but would animate each character with several different designs anyway?

Why... why would you even lie about that? It just makes you look incompetent.

Oh absolutely, we are talking about people willing to nakedly lie after all. I'm just wondering if living in that headspace for so long actually makes them incapable to knowing when their lies are so obvious.

I do wonder if people really into gen AI stuff can't tell how obvious it is when something is AI? They've acclimatised their brains to the slop and don't realise how bad it looks to other people.

Sort of like how smokers often don't realise how stongly a non-smoker can smell cigarettes on them.

Even if we pretend for a second they did all the work they're pretending they did... that means they INTENTIONALLY made it look like AI slop. They put a huge team to work 'pixel by pixel' to make it look like pure shit.

They didn't, they're just lying, but even the lie doesn't scan at all.

Since we've been home Snipe's been dealing with rolling panic attacks that are, thankfully, much less intense than the first one, but are exhausting for them. We're currently trying to see if anything can be done to help.

So yeah... streaming not really on the cards at the mo.

Spending 7pm Thursday to 7am Friday in various waiting rooms, unable to sleep or eat anything that wasn't from a vending machine, without really knowing what the news at the end of it was gonna be was... draining. I know I'm still not over it and I wasn't the one going into it post-panic attack.

I hadn’t heard of this at all.

A quick Google later and I am still lost. Which I think is the point.

Christ. Yeah I think I can live without it hah

I swear these people are always 5 minutes away from busting out the callipers.

The interview was from 2022 and she seems to downplay the hybrid stuff now in favour of hateful politics. So I suspect she might have started with the crank alien stuff and then did a speedrun of conspiracy theorising to end up at the end point of most conspiracies: antisemitism.

I suppose the question now is: is her alien hybrid talk just grift and a way of getting her Nazi talking points in front of a conspiratorial audience, or is she just really fucking delusional and the Nazi stuff is just the harmful of those delusions?
