recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

of an ultimately bs fire, and that's guilt I have to live with and learn from. I still have my criticisms of how SSC handled the case, but Six lying/escalating to this level and disobeying court orders was frankly beyond my expectations. I hope Gem and the community can now healthily move forward

I know I'm late but it's taken me a while to fully gather my thoughts. I'm mostly frustrated that the kindness of myself and some of my friends was taken advantage of in this way. That's entirely on me for not doing good journalism, but now I sit with the knowledge that I partially fueled the flames

A chart of Washed's weapons. Jester plays both exploshers Shark plays most dualies, frozen pro, AND NOT PENCIL OR ELITER. Cupdog plays both dread wringers The last tier is +1, which are weapons we (might) be looking for! Those include decav, stamper, brella, tent, sblast, blaster, and luna.

I'm gonna ask this on main for reasons I'll explain later, but if any mutuals know an FA who's 19+, willing to play 2-3x a week, good mental + vibes, and fw our comp and learning environment pls send them out way. Weapons in the +1 tier are suggestions but not exhaustive!

hardest discord wordle falloff of all time

However, in my opinion, at this point it's hardly about how to handle a case like Six/Gem and more just how to conduct and carry yourself as an organization under the name Splat Safety Committee. Inciting further harassment and drama for no tangible gain is not how to prioritize community safety.

Did you make an account today just to defend SSC? Anyway that's a really shitty analogy imo because

1. there were 2 people involved so the perpetrator was obvious, the question was the validity of the claim, which is completely different
2. police and and a restraining order were involved

I want to begin by saying that I am not close to Jared or Madness, these thoughts are my own, and I apologize for not speaking up sooner

Jared's statement emits ignorance and foolishness.

Whether you agree with the claim or not is kind of irrelevant, which is why I left that out of my reply altogether. If someone feels so unsafe in the community that they get police and a restraining order involved, imo you have an obligation as Splat SAFETY to do something

I understand that, I just think the best course of action for the sake of the community's safety would've been to make your response at a more appropriate time. There's a level of accountability that has to be taken, and today's actions haven't convinced me that SS will keep the community safe.

This will bring more negative attention to the community right before its biggest celebration and event ever.

And, because of that, this will cause myself and many others to not trust Splat Safety, as the reckless release of this doc does nothing to make this community safer. Hope it was worth it.

So, back to my initial question. What does this video/document accomplish?

This will undoubtedly lead to Six and iMad getting harassed even more, even if that wasn't the intent.

This will cause victims to continue to be afraid to come forward with their stories bc of how this case was mishandled.

drama and her harassment. I'm not saying to believe all accusations, that would be absurd, but the precedent that this case is setting should make any victim afraid to come forth to this org that's supposed to keep them safe, lest their case be mishandled and personal information be put on blast.

timing is doing no favors.

However, the biggest issue is that, at the end of the day, the org is called Splat Safety, not Splat Who Was Right and Wrong. A member of the community tried to express that she felt unsafe, and SS not only failed her last year, but failed once again by reigniting the

which already led to loss of trust within the community, and Riptide, an event that SS has essentially guaranteed Six will be harassed and therefore unaafe at because of this should she choose to go is an irresponsible choice. Granted, this was obviously supposed to come out much earlier, but its

from what I've observed, most people that deserve to get banned are either excommunicated before Splat Safety makes a verdict, or don't get banned by Splat Safety at all.

The timing of this coming out is also not helping it. Sandwiching its release between Madness' attempt to re-join the community,

over the last 3 years I've been in the community, I don't recall Splat Safety ever being seen as very legitimate in the first place. I never remember trust in the org being very high, with the Isaac and Heller situations coming to mind, and although the doc states there are new faces and processes,

After reading the whole doc/script, I'm just left wondering what's the point of making this video now? What does doing this resolve? How does its existence improve the community and make it safer?

Naturally, the answer's pretty obvious, and that's to re-legitimize the Splat Safety org, but

LTC 2024 was by far the best weekend of my life. I saw so many great friends, I got to fulfill my dream of commentating at a major LAN with some of the best to ever do it, watching Moonlight in grands was unforgettable, it was just magical. I can't wait until I can go to my next LAN

it was an honor to commentate that set my man, absolute cinema

Today's baking adventure was baklava, my favorite dessert and definitely the thing I've made that I'm the most proud of :)
Real ones know how much effort this shit takes lol

For splat folks not on twitter:

it appears the LTC 2024 organizers have not paid anyone on the Splatoon side, which includes winners, TOs, and commentators, and then has attempted to scrub their digital footprint when pushed by Cyren about payment #compsplatoon

but my back wants to be in bed :///

my heart wants to bake cookies but my body wants bed time :/
