ā PSA vgen reference scam
this just happened to me (didn't download the file no worries)
don't download .html reference files from vgen
as for commissioners, if you're using your email instead of a vgen account I'd suggest uploading .jpg/.png files for your character references instead of links! š
Took my Vyvanse for the first time in almost a month and all I want to do is go have a nap. Gotta figure out how I'm going to survive 7 more hours of work. Holy shit.
We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near OrlƩans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.
Weāre very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harmās way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgivenessāa jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psycheāmay leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations ā billions of people and their children and now grandchildren ā have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arenaāand the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselvesāhas become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.
19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The eliteās intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what? (and cut from the previous alt text for word count: 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Muskās interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. )
Palantir posted their manifesto on Twitter and the mix of supervillain ranting and petty whinging about cancel culture is truly something else
For some reason, pretty much no legacy media is reporting that the FSU shooter was specifically asking ChatGPT about hate crime penalties for racially motivated mass shootings right before killing two men of colour...
The AI slopaganda videos on fuel production have come to Australia....check out Leo's thread
The tech is cool but tbh my first thought on watching it was "the American is trying to be flashy and loses the point because of it" š¤

Went back to this video and 1:19 is a peak moment where @shaunvids.bsky.social stops with the critique of Harry Potter and takes time to tell the viewer about Discworld a 10000x better fantasy series. "Imagine a hero that actually gets angry at injustice and did something about it what a treat"
fanart of characters from glitch animated series the Gaslight District. Mud, the zombie-ish, suit wearing second half of the two men raising Mel, he is a traditional gangster wearing greens and brows with a half-rotted face. He uses a shot gun, gets screamed at by Ken- his other half- about getting back inside instead of shooting off the hood of a car.
I am not sure if I ever posted this on bsky? if I did I can't find it lmao. Happy Gaslight District Anniversary, I drew this last year when it premiered

Pls pls pls don't post your nsfw art online if you're a minor, it really isn't worth dealing with the awful people who'll take advantage of it.
Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse
