Diffusion model ethics to Broad brush

I investigate into the lands of the beep boops.

Previously on Couch Gregor's ai editorals. Since I'm dissatisfied with all the editorials, I made my own.

Looking at the coco workflow, there's the usage of noding and shaders here like it's used within blender, with 3d models.

Huh, according to the questionable lawsuits there n has been ethical questions in regard to this, I've had to check what this will do for independents.



Looks like it will have to relax and into noding, with minimal text-to-prompt speech, I'm afraid such a matter will move towards no copyright infringement. The environmental concerns along with the labour is another matter.

I can still see some inconsistency here and there, i think it will.

The only answer to this will be to do another art piece.

Since copyright licensing laws aren't going to stop this ( Disney has been developing its out diffusion models for to replace to concept artists.. ) Such a matter that copyright infringement it out of existence, it's going move into ethical questions with regard to its use and not contingent on commercial publishing and industry.
Licensing politics! Yeesh. Have they slapped me with a copyright infringement from drawing an Aggron as a pin-up, perish the thought. I'm merely a content producer to them anyhow.
This book is on my audiobook list in terms of essays. So many coming out these days. Got the audiobook.

 With the rise of deepfakes will continue to occur, along with the 

The age of scepticism is going to get more muddy. Herschel Gordon Lewis had a point with direct response rates

Disinformation campaign first, funding latter.

Going to have to boost this as such tech evolves, Fox Key did make a post that this will continue since films are the most labour-intensive and expensive forms that we take for granted. Including videogames, and such a licensing that will only move it underground, along with managing.

I'm not sure if we can out-license of with this will combine to some odd concoctions, I don't like this I.P loving people, (Even though I can imagine a system of resource redistribution not contingent on it, merely like how qualitative differences between a restaurant and a soup kitchen works. Does that make me a anarchist? Oh, well. )

It's not that the lowest common denominator word of content means the worst and the best. Bill Gates definition versus Martha McLuhan definition.

Welp, I'll have to keep track as these things unfold, and soul-searching will occur. This broad brush will see more erm, cases, so to speak. Both Industrialists and the silicon will be watched.

Commidyfying Commodification

Copyrighting copyrighting, Self referential metamodernism into what appears to be the opposition of meaning and then towards at hyperreality where nothing can be sincerely enjoyed any more, and then it's too pure again, back and forth, back and forth.

So that's the trap, it's never-ending. It's a concept, it's not measured.

Thinking about this video

Had some disagreements with the golden mean and Peter skinner, at least what Peter Skinner was not as contentious as other works. Yet I did not know how self-referential has been used by artists when nothing else can be referenced, unless it get slapped.

So as with our texture to weave patterns that are meaning is made. With recursive recursion the perfection of advertising of attention retention provided by the advertisers being the perfection, yet circular reasoning it is that's unpersuasive.

An ode to YTPs

Please, do protect the commons for providing free entertainment for the masses, YouTube poop, becomes YouTube gold. Bored teenagers making amusement and then back again.

Such a cycle of charity of entertainment was a gift to us, and we have to make it with our own ghosts of what were discarded commodified shells, making life again.

They still exist, projects made for the self-entertainment of a bunch of random kids where the ideation of good enough if the incongruity of a certain happenstance was to happen out of the expectations of the conflict portrayed. So too, shall they hit the good zone of what it means to pursue a hobby within what it looks like a juicy remix.

A juicy remix from the commons and the into the creative well-being of our own desires. Out of such silly free-market hockey, there are things that stick along within our times that I made from abadoned commercial dreams.

So that, such deliberate ignoring, do these blossom.

Y'know what they say

Numina Theo

Mystical Scholar, that's meant within a world of magical reanimation of the thoughts of our time.

42 min essay on the critical reassembling provided by Kant. ( Another problematic fave, he has his works within the deontological developments and along with our own times. He has his brush with critical theory. )


 Well, the experience of the soul, the phycological within our own field and enterprise, it's what divinity, mysticism and the occultist arts that aren't meant to be shown with the forbidden talks of the silver estate. How do they rely on there own numinal experiences that are unforeseen.

The divine will

Divine God, away from the profane vices that seek to corrupt the estate with all desires going from the annoying Rust, or what Castella calls Rust, I call it hell.

What are my beliefs that coincide with the operations and church of my papacy? When I'm needing to show the paths to worship are not tainted by the vile Golemists and the Brick coalitions. Progressivism that's made through the whole has went ahead and dominated for the public image, and it serves of the world of PR. Even when the convenant has a matter with the interpretative.

I'm too much of a virtual whizzo anyway, where's my prayer? I shall play that have listening to Jpeg mafia, mmm (holy sex workers shall I enjoy this sweary word privately)

Oneirataxia / Hyperreality


Metamodernism time! The literary kind, not the self-defeating financial kind.

 Fantasy and reality. Non-reflective of the person creating such a fetish, yet the time, it comes out.

Within our own realms of design where our own perception, we are entering a realm where art is hostile to entertaining the perceived, yet through the repulsion becomes the paradoxical attraction, for attraction cannot be the positive value being made, so right today, that's with the negative, with its scepticism brings an compulsion.

36 essay on a self-referential movie. Funny Games. Which is an attempt to bring opposition of meaning into the mix of our own perceptions, along with ending within a pretentious ending that cannot be called slop. Anybody who's read scriptwriting 101 will be getting the cues right now of who's being signalled, with this being the in-joke.

We are stuck within our own entertainment. On how YouTube and xwitter being on the downside of ad money and not subscription services.

Slippery slopes, or not.

Irony and sincerity, such a distinction. Irony poisoned is sincerity masquerading as irony.

Passion Exploitation


They are writing about passion exploitation

Word, even though they may not change our thinking, there are malicious 'teachers' out there who'd think they can out-train sleep.

Beware of groups that become MLMs, Moneys into false promises, and swindles into a realm of creative industry.

Industry...

I could rant about it more and more, only to avenge by doing the more important thing, which is to learn to not work for exploiters.

Such a shame that our own manners of internal motivators can be taught bad patterns, It's only wise to not work for cruelty.
12 min video in regard to passion exploitation

Pain as a generator of creativity, I don't think it's possible. Oh, it's a better as engagement bait and a race-to-the-bottom advice advertising.

Nettiquette for the gregorious averse


  • Rules change and shift, Yet there are places with netiquette. With advertising, there are always shifting the guardrails unless they are enforced. So thanks Ad-creep.




  • Regarding Politics, people don't like direct political/ideological commentary, unless the medium attempts to avant-garde a complete subtraction of community and society, there are going to be questions of governance and authority. It's merely a protest of entertainment/bargain seekers of don't be controversial. Be it with flame wars and quietism employed, I hope such an unannounced decorum does not stop you from writing editorials and essays.

    In regard to didactic stuff of non-fiction, satires, Allegorical and morality plays, that's another matter. Oh, and editorial cartooning that comes with the direct political and ideological messaging on the genre tin.

    As for organisation, I'll leave that for another post.

  • Don't spam, Don't commodify everything like charging air or not, nobody want's to be pitched on micro. Commodify/Commune, best treat subjects intrinsically first, not a leverage for a deal. Don't conflate commercial speech with free speech.

    Only when it's anticipated, personal and relevent.

  • Micro-blogging, espeicially on the main site should not be considered a marketing medium; an opportunity, pick your battles with what platform to express or advertise too. There are only so many hours in the day to keep the work hours within. Commune and only offer services like a truted attorney with a plantif.
  • Question everything, even the age of sceptism, yet certain waves of sceptism of questioning everything can be questioned too.

Bells and whistle debate club


 A lot of politics on entertainment platforms have reached a standstill, obsession with debate is really the pinnacle of amusing ourselves to death. With the O'Reilly factor being the part where winning and semantics or placed over, with the flourish of the shouting over having a reconciliatory discussion.

No cooperation, no friendly competition, nothing, bells, and whistles. Why? Because it's better at pulling an audience. Yet better does not equate to good.

Entertainment and art is fiction. The same is happening with legal fictions, finances, education, journalism and all other fields, there's always a convincing argument to make it not edutainment. I say that as an edutainmentier.

Part of the mediocre series that delivered on its kickstarter, It was tool time's video on how everything still continuing. It's why that with journalism and literary ways that you can do




30 min editorial, 5 min on the Ken Ham, where ideology is made to be sold like advertising. Then the puffery tempts with the entertainment product made online. Cussy as we can write.

I'm not sure with if the ludology is made to serve the game of power scaling that has overtaken-the discourse. Where the performance of showmanship today is why I prefer to call myself an entertainer.

That's the problem of dealing with entertainment platforms 🥁

share/struggle


“Immediately uninterested” The guy from Idea channel. Mike Rugnetta. In response to a new indie startup telling him to share cat photos. Oh dear, that's where the monopoly/monopsony. 

He has a provocative idea, what if sharing is actually struggling? With contradictions. All these posters who can't have the effort because it doesn't scale.


Only share with intention, not mindlessly with value-free neutral platforms deciding to not curate. As new social media alternatives show up, there's only going to be so much time t help with other audiences, everybody can only hold so much.

Guess times jump and we must go back to a website, owning and scribbling our words.

Back to a weebsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite 🛋👓☀☀☀

Elitist prudes


Filthy elitist fine art.
Philistine of befuddlement and corruption
They sell a piece of scribbles for literary snoots?
Even the word 'art' is tainted, the artifice is embarrassed for us.
The amount of thing should be nobody wants to look and see us
Silly academic overwriting sillies
don't desire the public
don't desire affection
don't desire performance grandeur

Childism/Adultism


What they should do?

This 1:40 essay got me thinking.



So, education and edifcation has been industrialised beyond our things, beyond intentional design of actual benefit, can our children be put to blame with how these systems are forming to our own ways. Adultism telling other to grow up, even in the event of there children's entertainment, or now an adult novelist as gone of the deep end, or well, F*****

Childish, and adultism is all constructs of properties to the engine of non-fictional ways, so that our taxonomy.

Ludology of the internet : Algorithmic Complacency


 

38 min

Hyperreality has been developed with, adding to the age of scepticism.

From the deliberately misinformed, ignorance. Agnotology at it again of people don't know through the illiteracy of the tech, that they are being manipulated, of the random robots making rules. Scrambling in and contextualising new deflations into an interactions nobody asked for.

Is this what Judith Butler calls a phantasm?

Apr 14, 2025

For-Profit Creative software




1.15 mmm.

Yeah, inflation, Tariffs, it happens. The interactions may be denied with the territorlism, yet the structure underneath will interact regardless. There are those who want a prosumer entertainment diet, and then move on if that ain't satisfied.

Only a part of an accident with this fast entertainment, post entertainment society that's foaming in the mouth for the exptactions that it's forms of the bread and circus that can be maintained.

I'll keep creating art/entertainment as soon as I breathe and live, as a broken promise. This artist will create as long as she breathes, it's a dance between the physical aiding the ideas and the ideas aiding the physical. Such is the value-free main road that can't be handled by academies, politics, journalists, and education.

Hosting a Barnum freak show that's modernised for today, then we editorialise, they may return or not, we don't know. It's the internet, every either throws something in the dark till a surprise comes. Yet, the human connection is what matters.

Sticking with CSP and Blender. Making more on the long tail of distribution.

Structuration of scenes

This is a doodle pad now, something that a traditional artist will do to prepare his lines.

 Sociology has advanced, huh?

So, according to the story grid. One of the skills to write must have is writing not beats, something that an illustrator or actor must focus, but scenes. Yes, scene obsession from the Mise en place to Mise en scène. 

Scene scenes, that's the work that's building into sequences that completes a sentence, that completes an act, that complete a play, that completes a piece of entertainment/art piece.

From the objective view of a copywriter to the subjective view of a memoirist, why not both? Paradoxes merge into new concepts.

1:38 hour video, had some disagreements with the saphir wharf hypothesis and other theorys, source, though. Sociology will compliment the fictional ways of the novelist.

Our actions define our standards then back again, it's a circle way and since there freelancers have no higher authority or status to guide them, it's up to them and there responsabilitys.

Escapism ; Activism and videogamers as prosumer


I'm going to have to read/audiobook infinite jest, don't i? Given his thought experiment of the amusement-to-death show, from Jokers laughing gas to Neil Postman Amusing ourselves to death. Well, to clarify, this is critiquing gamers as a consumer demographic/physiographic by industrial standards.

Even with literary/commercial when it comes to editing, there's the 

Despite sentiments trying to depoliticise escapism, even if it leads towards the polite fictions outside. Our interactions of social media cannot afford to have our break as our fiction, from slice of life to slice of escapism, warrants it.

Suggest the webs we weave out of the fiction, inspire our acts and vice versa, rainbow capitalism is the case for it, (yet, given my position, not really. )

This is why I don't consider gamers, with their prosumeration and lack of literacy-friendly ways, to be considered worthwhile. Priories of finding a way out of babysitting cultural distress signal.

30 minute


ViDEo GaMes
Includes Bob Chipman (I have my fair share of disagreements with this critic, he was trying to be a literary critic, even ten years ago, it goes to show within the span of time how much gamers haven't grown out of this consume-first mindset.)

It's so editorial resistant to its own pretensions, so I'd best deliberately ignore such theatrics.
15 min 13 years ago

I don't follow him any more.

The continued tantrums as a business model, ah, how it insists respect from the editorialists and expertise while also to doing the work to earn it.
((Post edit Couch Gregor here, I recognize the adultism here by Bob Chip, yet trying to compare it to adult. Since it's originally marketed as a children's toy.))

Another one to finish, Tooltime as been an old video blogger with his own therys of media of why he does not engage with it, why he ain't boring. He does not have to grow, and that's enough.

This one of them is cultivation/hyperdermic theory, cultivation theory of influences being a theme. Ten years ago, wow, back when I was a kid. 36:20



He's the only one who has done a good faithed critism of a mediocre essay series.

The A.I Gulf, and auto-posting software : Postbirb/Buffer


When you do research to do a journalistic piece. You go around all the Internet to editorialise into an essay, these are all notes. Incoherently placed, here we go.

Since others use auto-posting software, I've dabbled within postybirb, and the more dubious online app buffer. I discovered Buffer advertises itself with link shortening, so I'll be direct. ( No point hiding it, I don't think boycotting/blacklisting will work either. ) Toothpaste is out of tube.

It's dubious since it has an auto-durative intelligence, that I haven't used. That if you want my word, since I want to be a professional writer, the portmanteau between illustrator and writer is a cartoonist. Not going to be using the 

( Postybirb does not do this, by the way. Even though, a spell checker is always appreciated for typos. )

No, I don't endorse it, yet my vote ain't going to count, ain't it? It's been integrated within 'Grok' within xwitter, and that I've been. There's still a rough folk congregation, a Venn diagram of the forming groups under various labels and political sympathies. I have some for the open source with my gift, as long as I own it. Well, It's the time for the commons and public domain have been useful services to our society. My characters coming from pride and prejudice.

(Sometimes I anthropomorphize my ideological conflicts as characters for my entertainment, Regardless. Do I even Fictionalise myself into a entertainer to absolve any responsibility? I'm certainly against the maximisers and what Chuck Wendig has done.)
To sketch out the labels some further, This is what called positioning:

Ai Futurists - Open sourcers ()  Copyright Maximisers - Ai Haters
Lets show this concept some more.

Some people use sneer/scare quotes within open source.
Fair use is always going to be murky water. You don't own concepts, poses, or colour schemes.

The grifters are the tasteless Elsa gate churners targeting illiterate kids to game with the essentialising of money for their product. Perfectly designed, unlike the imperfection wabi-sabi of art.

Despite Seth Godins endorsements of tech, I'm a technologist when it comes to aiding within the creative labour industry and freelance sectors. It's still decimating as we speak. I'll keep track of him. His take on AI going through a Gartner hype-cycle is another thing. It's something I resonate with, since once again, This genie has been out of the bottle.

With indie publishing, even when small businesses themselves can be as bad as their commercial counterparts. Then with Stephanie Sterling and above with the many disputes of Fair use being a muddy term of creation.



The water-usage is overblown, I've donated directly to Ecosia, which I recommend switching your search engine too. Heard it's less than boiling a kettle, I've rebalanced by carbon with a donation that I'm planing to give or my own writing of fiction.

There must be something about wasting water that really clicks with people, maybe because they can visualize it? It's kind of farcical, the WaPo story about this tried to make it sound like a lot of water and in the process admitted it's... not?
Holy f**k I missed that: TRAINING ALL OF GPT-3 consumes in total as much water as... producing beef for two people for a year. Not pro-rated to the usage of GPT-3 two people make in a year. Total. And we get a whole article about the water consumption of AI?! bsky.app/profile/ryan...

Since the growing of the usage of AI, I've been following the blogging of various writers who's describing their thoughts. So I'll have to keep track of this. Oh, I will vote for the shadow libraries because it's a means to spread the idea. I shall defend to the death for a creative to sales rep for free and paid. The economy of gifting and hobby does not exist.


I'll resolve this with a video by Shaquille on this. 21 min for those who have missed it.

They'll certainly be a market for hand-made craft, with more and more of this silly technology play-do'd search matter will create more blacklist. I speculate that it's still going to resurface with new iterations. This regurgitation is tasteless. This lack of direct action from others is also tasteless.

I do believe good artists should get paid for the labour and activism, yet this will move towards my leanings, given with my own accord. Copyright maximalism ain't the answer. It's not like these untouchable technopolys deserve any PR anyway, including Nintendo.

(Oh, and the reason I keep using bug is a two-way posting. Reduce cognitive load.)

Pretentious Hack


Who'd you trust? The honest hack or the pretentious one who calls himself and artist, wanting his tantrum taking seriously. 

The taxi driver who delivers, delivers you weird yet still on the point, or the one somewhere different where it completely does not work. Believing him the 'artist'? Despite the creativity being a liability.

Such is a retrospective of Doug Walker's the wall, the review that labour'd a risky commercial expression. It's bad.

Other that the complete contradiction of it being a love letter, along with the lack of an attempt of a soft sociological point of view being expressed. Because its comedy, contradiction for amusement? Or not..

I'd care for the inconsistencies if this was such an insult to a work of art. It was a literary endeavour, Doug's was, unintentionally.

no. There are plenty of reviews on the pretentious review, that you may have seen. He won the race to the bottom.

My autism, Why I wear it

 Because there are industry lead
ers out there who view my art hours as imperial conquest to plunder.

From this sweary rantaphon 13:50 Bringing back an old classic.

That's what I mean when they describe us as inspiration porn, we are made into objects that are groomed and then discarded like empty rented mules. It's cruelty and its determination from the profits are the point. Topped with a pie of exceptionalism of the status.

Of course, as I critique, there is some naive human who will be taken into work experience that will be pushed through the wringer.

The squashing within it all. A most strange fetishisation, the simplification of the human as resource.

Not a mark of sympathy, yet one of self-preservation.

Cruel Clown show

What a show that will others believe they're owed entertainment. Owed amusement, owed kiddie pool play.

Such is a means that will never end, of large waves of attentions economies that will move in and out, with much whimsy.

Fame, Infamy, and Attention Economising. It all happens at once, performance metric hallucinations shake like winds. Commercial platforms yearn for it, long for it, and call for it.

Now, I shall quote, as we go through this circles.

Dyna Soar 

"One of the worst things that can happen to an artist is becoming unintentionally famous on the internet. Nobody is in control of it, and when it occurs it’s a completely destructive force that endangers you and your work due to the nature of the majority of people online. The macrolevel behavior of social media is sick and twisted and directly/indirectly pursues the suffering and torment of others as entertainment Doesn’t seem to matter if you “embrace” momentary celebrity or not. It will punish you, hunt you, grift off you, and make up stories about you regardless. There is a sense of entitlement from the viewer that they are owed entertainment constantly from you. That all work you do is immediately “open source”, available to anyone, and ready to make a buck off of. Any rejection of this is considered elitist and antisocial, and the acceptance is considered “selling out”. You can’t win and in general, nobody I know that has had the spotlight thrown on them really wants that. We all know it’s horrible."

If you haven't already, you can look of Signifiers in documentary of the entertainment industry. Or, with how social media is treated like one.
