#well good morning to me i guess

[for28seconds]

Absolutely in love with all the lestappen and landoscar content I've woken up to.

Especially the McLaren video? The heart eyes? Like Lando, Oscar pull yourself together both of you. In the broad daylight in front of the cameras? Hello??? Do you have something to tell us 🤨

#Then our good 'ol lestappen 😌 #we got a press conference after 7 whole months 🥹 #thank you McLaren for that video #well good morning to me i guess #i love waking up to new content😍 #charles leclerc #max verstappen #lestappen #lando norris #oscar piastri #landoscar #austin gp 2023

want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--

i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video

however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern

the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI

and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?

it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey

i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

#melia.txt #also want to add that as musicians svt are more directly threatened by AI generated audio than they are by AI generated images #and yet AI generated images is what was used in the video #and i guess the MV director/production company are the ones directly responsible for putting that in there #whether it was their initial idea or not #and they work in a visual medium so perhaps that makes it more 'fair' but idk it just feels like #the commentary is around music. which makes sense. and using human produced music/sound #but then taking advantage of AI images #idk just feels weird #i mean i don't like it either way #like i said in the main post i understand the intention behind the creative decision #and i'm still happy svt are speaking against ai at all i do think overall they're doing a good thing here #i just don't agree with the creative decision they/the production company/whoever made #edit: deleted the part about not boycotting svt over this bc ppl were commenting about boycotting bc of the 🛴 stuff #i meant specifically /I/ am not calling for a boycott because of specifically the ai stuff #was just trying to make a general point that im not making this post bc i want to sabatoge svt or whatever #bc kpop fans love to pull that catd whenever u criticize anything #so yeah just removed that bit bc i dont want ppl getting confused what im talking about #respect ppl boycotting because of scooter/israel stuff but thats not what this post was intended to be about #edit 2: turning off reblogs bc im going to bed and having asomewhat controversial post up is not gonna help me sleep well lol #may or my not turn rb's back on in the morning

so how did Pizzahead get the means to make a bunch of Fakinos anyway???

this is my headcannon for that lol

Peppino does not live on a ground floor btw....

Apologies for the hard to see linework here and there, I tried my best but it's not easy making a comic old-school style where you need one pose to be the same at all times. But I still managed, and am very happy with it! Also these are my designs for them both since I'm finally figuring out how to consistently draw them, especially Pizzahead; I gave him vague hair curls to make him seem like...almost human? Totino-ish? Not really tho XP

This was made over the span of quite a few days so I hope you enjoy! pchooooooooo

Reblogs > Likes, Thank you!

I love knowing I'll get sick again if I eat anymore but I only ate a third of my dinner and I'll be shaking later because I shake if I don't eat but I'm shaking already from getting sick

#Personal Stuff I Guess #:((( and I have a big test tomorrow morning #I really should take a shower but I'm already so hot and shaky and that just doesn't sound like a good idea #fun fact about me I'm whiny as fuck when I don't feel well

#bonus under the cut where they're just a tiny bit closer because i couldn't decide which one was better #lairon #lairon is also pretty good. they have this Really big nose thing happening here which i'm not sure if it's supposed to be a nose or not #but it definitely looks like one from this angle. it definitely Looks like they're snifsnifsnifsniffing that kind of vibe #even though it's kinda on the top of their head. either way lairon is a steel-type and that's inherently cool #i very much like steel-types that look less like Objects or Mechanisms and more like Creatures. Animals. but that's just my personal taste #notably it's also part rock-type because reasons i guess so 4x weakness to fighting my belovèd. just like weavile #and ground also. but at least the rock typing nullifies steel's weakness to fire! in exchange for. a weakness to water #ahh well i dunno anything about the stats of this bitch. i assume they're good and very tanky because steel-type but i'm not #gonna look it up. i usually do but i am tired this morning and i need to just get some coffee and take my meds so i can call someone to #come pick me up and take me to fedex because i don't have a fucking car anymore and also driving is very scary and hard #probably my grandma. which is ironic because she's the one i sold my car to. she'd be taking me to fedex in my own car‚ technically #i dunno y'all. i need to work‚ too‚ so i should probably stop writing. y'all have a good day. brits out there take care with the heat wave #if that's still going on by the time this posts

My favourite thing about working nightshift, is finishing to the sight of beautiful morning skies. I feel like it helps bring my mood back up after the rush and stress of 12 hour shifts in healthcare.

#good morning!!! #trying to be positive about little things instead of being anxious about… well… being anxious I guess #also testing my phone camera seeing as it’s a new one #no complaints from me #; my photos

So the stray kids hot megaverse is finally revealed.... harassing some random middle aged security guard

Sighs. Am trying to make dinner (on one foot, mid migraine, in a horrible flare up) which my sister said she'd help with. She did a few things (washed the carrots, cut up the beets which were supposed to be whole) and then said i clearly had it under control and went back to the computer. Still have tons left to do. Have no energy and am not even hungry.

#feels like the more help i need the more literally everyone is like. hm. good luck with that. and then they leave #especially doctors but also my sister as well #i know she's not my caretaker ! am well aware ! #just kind of dont understand the lack of reciprocity. i take care of her whenever she's sick #asked her to pick up my last couple meds from the pharmacy #which is attached to the store she was going to anyway and was like 'dont bother if theres a line but if there isnt one could you ?' #after she just saw me struggle massively on my crutches when we got coffee this morning #and she said it wasnt good timing and she didnt know if people can even pick up meds for each other #they definitely fucking can bc ive picked up her meds plenty #anyway am out of my migraine meds entirely and really have zero hope of getting them for the next while #at least until i can walk on my right foot i guess #just feel. what's the words. frustrated and abandoned and alone. and too fucking disabled. #chronic illness #complaining

#I should have known I was emotionally not well when I started full sobbing this morning #idk why that didn’t tip me off lmao #now I’m just like in the everyone hates me and I’m ugly space and it’s Not Good #I just need to do my homework I think sometimes when I’m overwhelmed my brain goes to self hatred to distract me from being overwhelmed lik #thanks I guess I’m feeling less overwhelmed but instead I’m worse

Waking up to yesterday's quali was a bizarre experience cause wdym

ANOTHER CHARLES LECLERC POLE POSITION?? Ferrari front row lockout, which, excuse me? Where the hell did that come from? I was not expecting that after FP3😭

What do you mean Lando got knocked out in Q1? How tf did that happen??

Daniel out qualified Checo for P4 In An Alpha Tauri in his HOME RACE 😳. I mean outqualifying Checo is not a big deal this year but Daniel doing it, out of all people when Checo seemed like he did a good job than his previous races IN HIS HOME RACE? Where did that come from?

Both the Alfas in Q3? Hello there!

#head instructor to the TAs in the lab section i TA for: how r u guys feeling abt the workload? #me who hasnt graded anything since week 1 and spent an hr that morning filling out a patient safety plan: 🙃 #listen. we r experiencing symptoms that make us shitty at our job. which is not helpful for a positive outlook #i was also experiencing horrible cramps at the time bc i lost my ibuprofen and 2 days ago i stopped the birth control in a desperate effort #to stop feeling terrible. but in this moment i feel alright. its wild to go from drastically unhappy to like lol wtf was that? anyway stop #being a bby loser. for no obvious reason. im gonna start the birth control again to see if i get depressed again or if that was just me lol #i dont think my therapist understands the depth of my executive functioning issues tho. bc im a grad student and can meet deadlines. like #let me tell u im a fucking disaster abt starting things. i will go back and forth and get nothing done forever. or i do things halfway and #make everything 30 times more difficult later bc no one else understands how my brain works #ah well. itll b fine. sometimes i just get freaked out that i wanna b better and i dont kno how to do that. so i spiral in despair a lil #ill b fine. im good at catching myself before i get too out of control. annoyingly tho i am not currently beating the bip0lar allagations #bc whatever tf is wrong with me i do probably fit the diagnostic criteria for bip0lar 2. i dont kno y that freaks me out so much. i guess #its bc it feels like something i cant just make better thru force of will and i grew up in a home that was very obsessively #health conscious to the point my dad gets anxious abt taking a single ibuprofen. so like ive been conditioned to get freaked out by #medication. literally my grandma will call me and tell me to b suspicious of doctors and to not take medicine unless absolutely necessary. #like lady u r the genetic reason i have 0cd shut the fuck up. also it feels like something that would more negatively affect how ppl think #of u than saying oh yea i get depressed or i have anxiety. like the connotation feels worse im used to just telling ppl whatever tf #my problem is. so the idea of holding something back feels weird. which annoys me bc i dont think there should b so much of a stigma. its #bullshit. anyway idk. im tired. i was trying to think of a comfort tv show with my therapist and all i could think was the terror #when im depressed i wanna watch those English mother fuckers suffer and die. i just lov that show so much. harry g00dsir my beloved. the #most me coded character to ever exist #unrelated

It's kind of a given but can i just say that i detest job interviews. I have one tomorrow and it's ruining my whole day because i have no interest in the job and yet have to pretend like i give a fuck

#kill me #i also have that horrible 60 minute long tutoring session i have to give tomorrow morning #i haven't practiced that yet because I've been looking for some bullshit i can say during the interview #like 'why did you apply for this position specifically' idk i applied for everything that i found that day #i didn't really care as long as i could get credit points for the internship and it is 100% homeoffice #but they don't wanna hear that i suppose #idk #i hate it here #i guess the good thing is that because i don't really care it isn't That scary #it's just uncomfortable #30 minutes of awkwardness #not something i love #but oh well #after that i finally get to focus on my term paper which i have to hand in by friday ((: #(maybe saturday. I'm not sure. don't really care too much either) #I'll just sleep the 3 days after that's over before i start with my other term paper and my assignments #i dislike this #void screams

hi guys guess who just found out they actually might not have been referred to the nhs gender clinic five years ago. the gender clinic whose pre-2020 waiting times were 2 years and whose waiting times are now above 5 for first appointment plus another year or two for the second appointment where hormones can first be prescribed.

#srs09:m:haix #guess who also no longer has access to the one singular doctor over their 24 years of living that actually gives a fuck about their concern #I HATE THIS FUCKING COUNTRY I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT #AND MINI VENT BUT I HATE WHEN AMERICANS TELL ME I HAVE NO RIGHT TO HATE THE NHS BC ITS FREE. THAT DOESNT MAKE IT GOOD OR EFFECTIVE. #this bad day got like 2000x worse. #im gonna call the clinic in the morning but i dont think ill know how ill react when they tell me im not on the list #(lying) (i know exactly how ill react. not well.)

i need to stop staying up so late when i need to work the next day augggg

#the bin #i work at 11am at least so i do still have awhile till i need to get up #usually i work 4 hours earlier so im lucky i guess. not exactly tho bc i much prefer morning shifts but whatevs #i texted my sister today to ask if she can come this weekend but she didnt respond. hhh. im gonna be so mad if she says no #i just realized im abt to be out of cat food too so she HAS to comw at some point soon #it doenst even have to be the weekend. thats just the days she has off but if she can stop by anotehr time then thats fine #or if just her boyfriend can come drop stuff off and pickup her card then thats fine. but idk. i even offered to lend her gas money if my #next paycheck is enough to allow that. i shoudo get it tomorrow or the day afeyr so. well. hhhh. #i hope my paycheck isnt too bad. i think tips were pretty good recently so. maybe it wond be so bad. hhhh. #im tired of being stressed abt this stuff all the time. im really pissed at my sister rn too bc she just bought $40 worth of unnecessary #stuff. like. decor. while she still owes me $300 which i only lent bc it was for rent and i knew i wouldnt need it back for almost a month #but its been that time now and i need it back and instead of sensing it back she buys a $20 wall tapestry apparently #hhh. last yime i ever ever ever lend her money. im only gonna lend gas money bc i need her here soon. but she also needs to amde the trip #bc she has a card here to pickup. and theres several other reasons shes supposed to stop by. it shouldnt have to be my responsibility to #pay for that trip. hhhh. #im so glad i wont have to deal with her in a month

#the context: I've been working on and posting wips of a very short dadster comic I've been working on for. this is the third year #it's a redraw of one of the first ever ut things I drew it's not even funny or worth this kind of mental struggle but for whatever reason #it's taken me three years #(largely bc I forget to work on it until like a week before fathers day and then panic and then when I inevitably Don't Finish It I just go #okay well I'll just work on it next week and finish it for next year so it'll be ready :) #and you'll never guess what I never do <3 #) #so here's a little goofy little quiz. maybe. this year...will be the year #sunny with clouds #also good morning <3
