Did Petitions Fail? How AI ruined it? A new Fediverse gimmick?

Blender DumbassTalking about why Petitions failed. And thinking up a new idea of how to gamify engagement on the Fediverse.
We need to start Forking Software more!
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/fork.png)
Blender DumbassAs pointed out in my last article, the developers of UPBGE ( a game engine I use for my game ) decided to include slop-code into the software. And starting with version 0.5 it is "tainted by Ai". After that post I found a small repository on codeberg, which lists various other programs that are also sloppy. At first I sunk in with the feeling of dread and a desire to give up. Even the Linux Kernel was mentioned.
But then...
UPBGE ( the blender game engine ) is now AI slop

Blender DumbassUPBGE 0.5 release notes state that Ai was used to write the code.
Wait, AI caused the October 7 attack?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/israel_skynet.jpg)
Blender DumbassEverybody inside of Israel was shocked on October 7 2023, because nobody... NOBODY expected something on this scale to happen. Mossad and Shin Bet ( Israeli Intelligence Agencies ) are some of the best in the world. And the military is some of the most advanced. And yet it still happened regardless of all these things. What the hell went wrong? Well the official reason sounds something like "There was an intelligence error". But if you dig a little deeper, you start to realize that it is not as simple as you think. And it might be the first true example of a lot of people losing their lives to skynet.
My take on the 17 year old girl suing AI companies for Fake Nudes
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/ai_nudify_apps.jpg)
Blender DumbassSo a 17 girl is suing an AI tech company for "allowing" people to make nude pictures of her. Do I have a problem with that? Do I think it is copyright mentality? No! Based on the story, she suffers humiliation, because people she knows cannot tell the difference between if the images are fake or not. And the boys that generated those images are trying to pose those images as real.
How AI, ICE and Elon Musk Manipulate People Into Supporting Evil?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/ICE_AI_Musk.png)
Blender DumbassElon Musk is now infamous for showing a Nazi-Salute when Donald Trump became the president for the second time. Yet, this is the same Elon Musk, who's cars were disliked by the same people who have a hard on Trump. People who like to burn gasoline. For them an electric-car company is an epitome of wokeness. It was very funny to see, then, Donald Trump making an ad-read to promote those cars, before realizing what he had done and deciding suddenly to hate on poor Musk. Was Musk playing a part of a Nazi? Was the Nazi-Salute a genius marketing move, to try to make the conservative public of the United States consider buying a car they so disliked? Or was it just a funny set of coincidences?
The Copyright Mentality
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/copyright_mentality.png)
Blender DumbassA large majority of people confuse privacy with data protection. And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain copyright mentality to them. Certain misunderstanding of ownership which makes fighting for freedom more complex.

Blender DumbassPaps needs to walk from his room to a car, wait for you, the player to sit with him into said car, and then drive you across a town to a completely different location. Seamlessly.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence is the best film ever
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e6/AI_Poster.jpg/220px-AI_Poster.jpg)
Blender DumbassThis was the first time I've ever cried from a film. And that experience made me addicted, both to Steven Spielberg and A.I. and also to watching films seriously. Taking in what the directors is trying to do. Letting the film overwhelm you. Letting it break you. And perhaps made me a better filmmaker myself.
Meta Argues: Art is so Easy it is Uncopyrightable
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/zuck_no_effort_in_art.png)
Blender DumbassMeta ( allegedly ) tried to hire 3D artists to justify in court that 3D art is apparently so easy and quick to make, that it is uncopyrightable, so they could not ask for permission from 3D artists for training their AI.
Very Soon We Will Need to Prove that Our Art Isn't AI
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/proof_not_ai.png)
Blender DumbassI'm currently recording the screen of my computer to make a proof that this article is written by me and not AI generated. Maybe this proof will be enough. But I am afraid. I'm scared that in not so distant of a future, even a video of typing an article will not be a sufficient proof. So lets talk about it... Shall we?
Using AI For Art is to Disrespect Your Audience ( Testing Federation with Madiator's Blog )
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/federation_madiator.png)
Blender DumbassThis is a test of federation. But I will be using it the way it was intended, for discussion and respectful disagreements between people. In this case I will be trying to counter argument the statement in this post by Madiator, while agreeing with some of it.
Is Using Blender's Denoiser Evil?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/blender-denoiser-evil.png)
Blender DumbassThere is a war between artists and Artificial Intelligence people. AI is primarily useful today to those people who want to avoid the hassle of doing something impressive, while still maintaining an image of impressiveness. Artists, on the other hand, who's whole being is in grinding themselves into true impressiveness are not satisfied with AI being used to replace their labor with cheap, algorithmic knock-offs. One such machine learning algorithm, though, had found its way into millions of artist's work-flows, which they don't seem to care much about. And I'm talking about the Intel's Open Image Denoise found inside of Blender.
