@PeacefulGamer I have about 400 hours combined so far, but I only started playing a couple years ago and had no access to it for about a year of that. Definitely love existing in the NMS universe as much as possible!

@WhitePaperKat1 @SantaDecides I have a job, so I write for free. People who are trying to live off their art are charging more because life is becoming very expensive. If this were the 90s I guarantee they’d be charging $10 a commission, but we live in the “a trip to grocery store for two people is $300” era

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@SantaDecides No, we’re employed to do customer service work, which they’re trying to pawn off on AI. We’re employed by people paying for our art and creativity, which AI is threatening because of the lower/no cost to the user. Internships will be gone and there will be no ladders to climb

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@IamTheEagleHTM @liboar If I took a mold of a Funko pop and sold it on Etsy, I would get sued. They would say I “stole” their design.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@SaionMiko @priestessofdada Again it all comes back to name calling. Love it.

Yes the internet is baked into a lot of things, but if you truly believe you’d have to be Amish to go a day without using the internet then you really need to go out and explore the world.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@LadyDemosthenes Yeah that’s not what a lot of people are using it for, but that’s all happening millions of times a day ON TOP of what others are using it for. It’s using up so much water and polluting small towns to a literal sickening degree.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

If anyone who is Pro-AI would be willing to have a rational, level headed discussion I would love to try and understand where you’re coming from. I’m mostly seeing people use name calling and threats which I don’t want to engage with. Would love an actual conversation.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@SaionMiko @priestessofdada There have been multiple cases of people having AI related psychosis, literally becoming schizophrenic because of their AI dependency. I can hop off the internet and still be able to write, most of these people can’t say the same.

@lovaniceth 2/2

is what has made some of the best photos, scenes, games. An AI never had to figure out how to make spaceships look like they’re flying with the limitations of 1977 cameras and technology. AI could never make Star Wars because it lacks the human heart to.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@lovaniceth A human still had to find/set up the subject, adjust the settings to their liking, still has to abide by the laws of physics and reality. This is basic comprehension. It’s taking all of the little “oh no it’s raining, how should I solve this problem?” out of art which 1/2

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@ImKingGinger Most of the people I know who are against AI are liberals, like myself. We all have a very narrow window of the world depending on where you spend your time and who is around you.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@LillyByteGames It’s also about the water usage to cool it all. Their servers require a lot more cooling because Netflix isn’t generating a movie every time someone streams it, but people are generating hundreds of images and videos

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@LillyByteGames You’re absolutely right, which is why we need to go back to Video Rental stores, Video Game stores, a smaller forum based internet. Self hosting is becoming bigger and bigger!

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@TailosiveTech I go back and forth, the case I have makes it so heavy so I take it off now and then to give my hands a break during longer typing sessions

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

Pro Tip: If you’re going to immediately use name calling in your argument, it’s not a strong one. Use your brain and search your lexicon for a legitimate response rather than going feral and attacking people, they might just be willing to hear you out a little longer.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@priestessofdada 2/2

My contempt is against the process and how it’s effecting the day to day lives of real people

I’m happy to be challenged by legitimate arguments, not anger that takes my words and twists them upon themselves, continuing to name call instead of making an actual argument

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@priestessofdada Again I made a comparison, I didn’t directly call you a republican and I haven’t said anything about facism.

The giant corps will continue to gatekeep, it doesn’t matter how the content is made. Making a movie with AI isn’t going to immediately get it put in theaters (1/2)

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@priestessofdada If you’d like to have a rational conversation without unnecessary name calling, that would be great. I’m always open to having a conversation, but you are a very angry person and you can’t seem to accept criticism without immediately becoming upset which is frankly childish.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@priestessofdada We hate the damage it’s doing to the environment, which you don’t seem to care about. We hate the fact that kids are growing up unable to string sentences together because they don’t know how to write without AI. We hate that independent artists are having their work stolen.

[Zackary Simmons @ZimmonsInc]

@priestessofdada My smugness? You called me brain-dead and told me to fuck off

You seem to have a lack of reading comprehension, I didn’t call you a Republican; I used a simile to show how your stance is so anti-human that it can be compared to republicans bashing the idea of global warming
