twitter does not deserve my discourse but listen. about AI art.

beyond the few exceptions and the very big elephant in the room with a sign that says “everything this thing does is allocated to how much human-made art it scrapped from the internet with zero permission, compensation nor accountability” is the fact that there should be a huge differentiation between, say, the animators and artists in spider-verse who used ML to offload a lot of the tedious repetitive work to speed up their processes and deliver something with DEPTH that is very clearly thought-out with a striking intention [and truly emphasize that SOME aspects of ML can really help artists focus on the more “fun” parts of the creative process] against a tryhard with a pseudonym like The Ominous Painter who has used a colored crayon in school once or twice and their next interaction with creativity is spending a whole “14 hours!!!” typing prompts into Midjourney to then claim the result as their own “painting” and “hard work.” Nobody cares that you mess around with AI for funsies. Nobody gives a fuck. What grinds people’s gears is trying to cosplay as an artist and deep-dive into a facade of creating fake WIPS, printing AI art on a real-life canvas and posing with a paintbrush next to it, all to get a little taste of what people who have spent their life, sweat and tears honing a craft MIGHT get if the algorithm doesn’t fuck them over. All with 0 transparency? Acting like you deserve the same respect and recognition is absolutely fucking absurd, and frankly trying to convince everybody you did something you did not do is embarrassing. Stop kidding yourself.

It's so goddamned funny that originally if you reached sans fast enough via a speedrun it would trigger the most Agonizing and Excruciatingly slow cutscene of Sans eating an ice cream cone accompanied by circus music. Completely unskippable 01 minute and 30 seconds of sans gulping it down sloppy style. as your consequence for speed running Undertale

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

eatsleepcrap

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

Kick the fucking door in

my-weeping-angel

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it.

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

woah.

it got better

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again

masterofhounds

Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.

Ahh it’s back.

“And that’s why we have a John Watson”, indeed 😂

THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH

I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG

Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do

maximum-mom

Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.

So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.

Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.

But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.

I blazed a small fandom event announcement.  Because I was genuinely excited to be part of a Big Bang for a wonderful movie.  One of the first responses I got was “Why would you blaze this?”
Because of genuine excitement.
Because I wanted to celebrate the friends I’d met in the fandom
To spread joy to people who might also like the content but hadn’t seen it yet.  
The fact that that was genuinely not realized made me sad.  I love thing, I celebrate thing.  
I’m too old for cringe.  Cringe is dead.  Love what you love.  Enjoy the small things in life, it’s too short to do otherwise.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I'm stuck on thinking about the person saying, "Why are they shooting at that dog?" during the opening scenes of The Thing. It's a funny story, but I can't help realizing how many modern movie producers think the same way.

The modern producer would watch that sequence and have notes. Put in an explainer, he'd say, and have the Norwegian lines in English or at least subtitled so the audience can understand what's happening. The dog should get hit by a bullet with a close up so we can see it heal, that way the audience really knows what's up! And he'd pat himself on the back for how much better he made it.

I find myself connecting this to movies more and more trying to keep the plot under wraps, so secret even the actors don't know what they're filming! The audience will really be wowed with the surprise of learning what happens in the plot! That's what suspense and mystery are, after all - not knowing a thing and finding it out. Nothing to it.

There's something to it, this new idea that keeping the plot secret is suddenly hugely important while simultaneously insisting everything is always explained. There can't be a moment anyone knows what's happening before paying for the movie, and there cannot be a single second a paying customer is unsure, or even a little worried, by anything the second they've parted with their money. If you pay your shot and punch your ticket you get everything delivered to the base of your brain in a cup of easily digestible slurry.

Anyway, not all movies and all that, but I think a whole bunch of producers are pleased as punch these days at how much better they are at suspense and mystery.

Which path should he choose?

image

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?

moonimbued

he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose

charlesoberonn

Great idea! But where should he have the picnic?

image

Under the tree, or under the old fort?

acatdisguisedasahuman

By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves

charlesoberonn

A lovely choice!

image

Should he build a sandcastle to pass the time? Or perhaps go fishing?

cynicallyaestetic

Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting

charlesoberonn

Sounds fun!

image

Which shell should he pick up?

sourjen

image

This one

charlesoberonn

That's not a shell, it's a tiny earpiece.

image

Should he listen to music? Or to the mysterious pre-recorded message?

sar-kalu

He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!

charlesoberonn

The crab wants to give a gift in return.

image

Should he accept the gift of power, or the gift of knowledge?

sunw00d

the gift of friendship :)

charlesoberonn

Friendship acquired!

image

Should they celebrate with pizza or ice cream?

valentineish

The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)

charlesoberonn

So many options!

image

Should they get tossed salad, wiggly salad, or spiky salad?

frescopino

Seasar salad

charlesoberonn

Nothing beats getting it straight from the source

image

Should they use scissors or claws to cut the seaweed?

somethingmissingthiswaycomes

What about that sword in the first panel?

charlesoberonn

The circle is complete.

image

Through choices, friendship, and salad, he found his way to the path of the warrior. But he won't walk it alone.

Their path is just beginning, but this story is over.

Thank you to everyone who participated!
