Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?

Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn’t see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you’d look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?

Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?

Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because people didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?

Do you know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?

Just wondering.

Dude look how good this character looks now that they’re all polished up!!! I also added a script to give them a blinking animation because it was cheaper and easier than I expected!

I cannot sing enough praise for @cdromarts ’ work 😭😭😭

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

magspag:

I don’t know about Blaze specifically but I was looking at the terms for buying a full on ad campaign on tumblr

Twitter’s first rule is no alcohol, tobacco, or gambling. Instagram refuses to lay out the ad policies until you buy into the program. Tiktok’s first one is no QR codes and it can’t disrespect the military.

Tumble starts off with “no witchcraft” and clarifies that while selling product with a witchy aesthetic is acceptable you cannot sell divination services or curses to place upon enemies. You cannot traffic in human remains.

do u ever see someone elses headcannon for ur fave character and its like….. i completely respect that u have the right to that headcannon, i will not confront u at all and start needless bullshit over that headcannon…. but i will silently sit here and give you the sideways glance of the century

me, out loud: hey that’s cool we all have our own interpretations and i support you as part of fandom regardless 

me, in my head: ….but you’re wrong 

I would just like to remind everyone that this is the mature, reasonable, and sensible response.
