Sorry. just know it's Old Norse runes. Can't translate them.

thats not even proper english
ok
:))
Maybe that's a spoiler. Lol
Got a new phone for my birthday. (Which is in 3 days)
woah, nice phone!
oof
I have 50 euros but apparently its not enough
They told me 120 euro for screen replaced
And I'm now forced to use an iPhone 7 with no microphone

At least that gives you an excuse not to talk to anyone in through your phone?
phone calls, facebook messenger voice calls. etc.
Ah yes
I'm honestly sad
The iphone 7 battery dies every hour 30 min
Already missing my 11
Had a phone like that once.
Then i went with Sony phones.
I updated my octopus model it looks way better now
They usually say once you go iphone you can't go back to android
To be honest. I'm too paranoid to go with Iphones
Why paranoid
Especially since they were in court for their terms of service.
If y'all want the octopus model here. Just copy and paste the legs i was too lazy to model legs
An iphone gets any job done with no worries
The privacy is a reason why everyone is buying
nice Samsung 👍
There's a reason for mayonnaise on an escalator
Also guys do I buy a cheap iPhone 11 screen and put it together myself
It would be very risky
The court was because of their privacy breaking the European laws about the GDPR
never do anything by yourself in iPhone
Some sketchy phone repair shop told me to leave the phone with them and come back the next day
Nah guys do y'all remember that one kids channel blippi
shops not licensed by apple do not have insurance in case the shop misuses the iPhone, so be careful
Yeah
mostly data like these that apple states they collect that makes me go far away from them: Financial Information. Details including salary, income, and assets information where collected, and information related to Apple-branded financial offerings
But those collected info only occur if you're using apple pay as a payment option
Or apple services
But they are always collected. and against GDPR in europe.
Europe also loves protecting their citizens against impersonations.
Oh, hello downstairs neighbour.
Denmark ?
Yep. a good way north tho.
Anyways Sony is different
I liked the Sony Xperia xa1
It was the only Sony phone I owned before
2017
Using TCL 480 now.
My old phone was a Sony Xperia z1. lasted from 2009-2023
Oh the z1 was good too
Then I broke the screen trying to clean the microphone with a small screwdriver.
But my least favourite brand is samsung
Excluding the s22 ultra and above
Their biggest problem is OS optimization
Samsung do have some decent ones. And great fold phones as well.
Just make your software smoother
If they figure out optimisation then they're better than apple
Also, As a sailor. I'm not friendly with Iphones as most aren't waterproof.
True
One splash of a saltwater wave. And dead phone.
The most I had one in water was during rain or my hands were wet
Sony are more workers or sailors phones.
My friend had his face Id stop working after using it under water in a swimming pool
Chloride corroding.
My xperia z1 was dropped in the Bottom of a small boat and swam in water for 20 minutes.
Only found out i dropped it when my father called to get me back to shore.
Those phones are beasts
Tho, Nokia are some of the greater ones for Sailors and even divers.
But unfortunately the more people buy iphones the more it will be the world standard
Nokia never dies

Well. my deed was down against a woodchipper axe. Kinda makes it a lot easier.
I mainly just play to pass time and think of something else than my personal health problems.
Hi
Do you think i improved on the model?
The light brown one looks slightly better than the red-ish one in my opinion.
That's the one i improved on
Well. My opinion isn't worth much anyhow. But i do think that the red-ish one look somewhat 80's cartoonish.
@potent granite
Thx. I got the new samsung galaxy s24 ultra.
Technically there are infinite prime numbers
Technically there are infinite numbers
techincally there are infinite amount of fat in yo mom
"Erm, acktually-" -🤓☝️
ok smartypants, how many mersenne primes are there?
"You broke the space-time continuum
I hope it's worth it"
Happy St-Patrick day
¿
that means you have cheated, and therefore you cannot receive roles on the server, appear on the leaderboard or compete in events
oh, happy st-patrick day 🍀
St patrick is march 17
okay
we don't have that event here, but we do have one next week
you can look on wikipedia
uh idk what is it but happy st Patrick I guess
What drako said but there's also a posibility that you break your save if you keep doing that
AT. LEAST.
<spam bomb and 100 emojis>
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@lyric coral, there #visual-art-contest message I joined the contest
okay
ai 💀
also omg omg omg 2 more days
i literally have no time
if i don't do it tomorrow my procastination frickin won
I wouldn't make any art in a little more than one day
I literally made it today
I made a Minecraft capybara
You loaded it in the game ?
what if i copy the save of the game in another place and use it when the original save breaks?
faker
If the save breaks, transferring will transfer your broken save and won't fix it
hm ok
Ai but alright, it looks good!
Like not fucked up!
By the way I really want to ask the mods if they ever had to deal with a person like this
It's abbreviation is almost the same too
CK2
No you
no
but I have had to deal with people via DM until 3am because they didn't know how to look up a message in their email
No i made a model and inserted the image in an image of a cherry forest
Wow 💀
Some people really have the cognitive skills of a pencil
and that case was the last month
some people don't have wrinkles in their brains
Got it in like 10 minutes lol
Still more time than the guy who typed dadaism and pressed enter and posted the ugliest most lifeless picture I've ever seen
Some people just wanna win something with the lowest effort possible
I actually spend that 10 minutes tuning my prompt to get the image i sent
That's kind of the point of ai. It's basically lifeless at that point.
It's the same feeling as nfts
See this is fine, because you actually spent time perfecting it.
And you label it as AI
Got two others candidates too, but decided that the one i sent was the best
1st one is technically not cubism, part of it is realistic
Honestly i feel like i saw the first one somewhere already, not in cubism style though
Exactly.
Btw I feel like ai artists should start moving to engines that use art taken with permission, cause things like glaze will soon fuck over other engines (which is a good thing tbh)
Do you think I have a chance to win something with it ?
If you won't win, you should get a honorable mention at least since it's great
It's reference to a very popular art piece, you might be able to get something.
I hope
I don't want to be rude but what the heck is that #visual-art-contest message
Also what artstyle is that
At least the 3rd place
Maybe dadaism
Lies. At that point the ai just ripped an image off the internet
It's not, dadaism causes an uneasiness.
That is just unstable, like something you get from developing a prompt in 5 seconds
I wanted to make a solar system in ai, but it just spammed random planets everywhere so i gave up
lol
Understandable lmao
Meanwhile I'm noticing flaws I'm my art piece nowwww
Should I alter it or leave it as is?
Meh I'm making some minor adjustments, the last day is tomorrow.
Or... Nah...
Or... Maybe...
maybe you can do something
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ,
Your choice honestly, it looks great already to me
yes
The closest it got
imagine if it's a real artist who analyse our art. We will be destroyed 
can't exactly have this sort of case cause the game works on most things pretty well and it's free 
lol
i made this tree as an example of cubism #🇪🇸-español message, but no one did something similar
😂 😂 😂
@inland berry can you please please pretty please chanche my entry to the recent one 🥺
Technically I sent it before 18 march
ok, hahaha
you just need to remove the previous one
ok, done
someone have all codes valided of the game?
DARWIN
STAYCELLULAR
They are in the semblance chan 🙂
no have more?
tysm
ratatouille is such a good movie
It's meh to me.
reminds me that i got to get my arse up and make my submission quick
today's the last that aaaa
DRAW DRAW OR USE AI IDK
one question
can i use images from google
no not like using it and taking it as art but like
using multiple and like com- ah forget it
Is the game using any assets from Cell to singularity?
I don't think so
realizing i don't have enough artistic prowess, i present to you this piece of depression
made in like 15 minutes or so
no, i'm not going to submit this to the contest...
hell naw
but it kinda looks kool
also i got a few things to say
(i sent that in #💬-cells-chat but i sent it in the image because of the fucking zeppelin)
i might call zeppelin the fuckpellin or zepefucklin
yknow what i just realized this looks like a pizza
#visual-art-contest message everyone vote for me!!!1!1!!
who is going to judge for the art contest?
yes, boo hoo 🙄
is that sarcastic or
nope
anyways time to actually read your complaint and point out everything wrong and right about it
notice how i said wrong first
just saying that this server needs an improvement
- what's an iap
- denying a suggestion doesn't mean the devs are lazy
also x2 metabits too op
that's just me tho
or something, again idk what an iap is
- calm down with the swearing lil dood
- 1 hour isn't that much, when i get muted by zeppelin i just ask for an appeal and continue other things in life like desmos and chess
besides, other than counting (which is kinda boring now no offense) just don't send multiple messages quickly?
which is kind of what i'm doing but there is a tens-second gap between the messages so it's alright probably
yeah i'll put all the things i want to say in one message after this
- they won't get "mad" at it, if they do, look at point 4
- it's kinda funny, and sirh got a point. zeppelin can ban people with reasons cited on them unlike discord's built in thingy. even if it does, zeppelin's is more noticeable and also has more features than discord does, like appeals.
- zeppelin is good enough compared to other bots, iirc the reason why it's "annoying" to you is because the mods specifically made the spam gap like that, the emoji limit like that, etc. (that's what you're mad of right, and what you mean by other bots being better solutions?) it's not the bot's fault
- 1 to 4 people say it's annoying... not the majority soooo
- counting "channel" is a thread and can't be singled out for spam (at least based on my experiments), sorry
- tf did aditya do
- the cooldown is alright. if you wanna chat, make a thread or something and if that doesn't do talk about it in cells chat or general lmao
phew that was an emotional cluster of opinions
and that is?
zeppelin?
he made that? damn, i'm proud
6, there are so many otehr bots with a appeal feature
and what the honk makes them better
- no. you cannot create a thread in there you dumdum
i said, "if that doesn't work go to cells chat or general"
- aditya didnt make the bot for no reason
isn't that like a fallacy where you ignore the other statements
and he can adjust it
no one can?
not a single bot can single out a thread
you cant make a thread in general or cells chat too
i said...
TALK IN THE CHANNELS
- they CAN get mad at it
not make a new threat lmfao
complicated
who is the victim huh
new members out there
and my friends all hate it
i asked all my friednds
and a lot hated it
if you're that incompe- agh, think of it this way: many people talk in the art channel, other people can't see the art now because of the cluster of messages
ayo what’s all the screaming here?
and im not only the one who hates the zeppelin. if it was only me, then i would stop doing this
still a minority
i made some compliments about this server
this, or the message in cells chat
mhm… and what’s that above?
chat
mhm i see…
900 IQ
ok that's cool and all but i refuted all your arguments
welp im on my way
and WE MUST TAKE OVER THE ZEPPELIN AND REMOVE IT!!!!!!!11111
ahahahhahah evil laugh
yeah no
considering everything supporting that stance is struck null and void, yeahhh no
and promptly get banned :P
to increase the chances to remove that stupid bot
you mean decrease
because i fucking dont care of getting banned for other people who hates zeppelin
because more people will see you, and more people will realize you're wrong
nope you bozo
😂 no
"no"
refuses to elaborate
sacrifices can be made. -lanzoor, 2024 AD
why are you so stubborn lmao
just accept that zeppelin isn't that bad
and you're just cherry picking specific bad stuff while ignoring other good stuff about it
welp no because i already accepeted the fact that the zeppelin isnt annoying in emoji and image limits
but i still hate the spam gap, and if aditya developed the bot, he CAN remove spam mute in the counting channel
why?
dude discord isn't everything
if you're talking with someone and getting muted for spam for just 1 HOUR, just do other stuff
also aditya was a contributor of @wind fractal , so he must be a programmer
so he can adjust factors for the thread
i CANT, as a korean, i cannot wait a hour
new members quitting the game and being mad
"i dont play roblox" - lanzoor's last words-
go play other stuff
and about this, no one does that lmao
but still, no one likes zeppelin
i do
why?
heck no, dyno can do that too and other bots like mee6
why need for a change?
less annoying & better than some random bot with a name of a bomb
going back to 7, zeppelin is as good as other bots
nope, zeppelin is just a random fucking annoying stupid bot that is cool because of it is a bomb name
ok lemme get this straight
!ban 506458497718812674 making the most annoying bot possible
yes
ONE HOUR MUTE
Lanzoor is on his villain ark as usual
IIT ISN'T- it isn't much
yo yo mods hear me out:
do as he says, add dyno, but make the mute 1 hour too so he gets a crisis
bro, 1 hour is FUCKIN TAME compared to other bots
i still hate this server (not because of zeppelin but because of other issues)
Whail nice pizza 🤣
...the hate i refuted in my messages before?
nope you idiot, 1hour is a too much anyways
-_-
Is it cause we're patient
tbh, it aint bad.
well, if it's just you then sure
i said i fucking dont care if i fucking get permabanned
just leave
again? ok
A server straight up banned me because they were homophobic
good
;)
i dare you to ban me
LMAO GUYS STOP
Okay
here we go again....
Wait lemme check if the cool mod is online
saying this will either make you look ridiculous and embarrassing or actually get you banned
which will also make you look ridiculous and embarrassing
who?
10 years 😂
yes im serious
Okay he isn't rn
i dont care
sacrifices can be made, for otehr people (my friends) who dont like zeppelin
@split bison can you pleeeeeaaase do a silly 🥺
you didn't just ping a moderator, i think you wanna get banned
but still, i dont fucking care -_-
yelling and screaming won't do much good. hey at least there isn't caps this time.
Nah lmao, 1 hour mute worst
you dare fight 99% of the server just to be the benefactor of 1%?
Anyways, yall sort yourself out
its not 1%
ok ok so how many people agree with you again
Yes, I don't use caps anymore.
100~ since they could not be my friends but they all hate zeppelin
source?
list them all
i'm interested
Sir please calm down
to know you aren't bluffing
anyways aditya please come ban me
fine, i'll stop
🥺
i dont care just ban me to end this
!ban lanzoor please
!ban lanzoor
UwU
!ban 1160164047111606292
👉👈 teehee
?ban 1160164047111606292
this still continuing?
Wtf
Anyways
Good day.
It's raining so early into summer
sup
The climate is fucked up
summer in india?
Hi hi!
yes i know its so cold in here
thought it was an equatorial country
Yep
like -275 degrees celcius
Rip
average korea;
Well it is but the rains are supposed to come later
rip lanzoor
In India? Hmm.
rip all of us
summer in korea: 1e1e9 degrees celcius
winter in korea: -1e1e9 degrees celcius
bro is below absolute zero kelvin 🥶🥶🥶🥶
🗿
in korea its so cold that it goes past the limit
still not as crazy as-
wait a minute
It's still not cold as my bed
which latitude have the largest season swing
home sweet home
too polar and you get constant winter with not much change
wjat r u talking about
too equatorial and... well
ok
Probably like, tropic of cancer n all
South Korea is falling down like whole Europe. That's sad.
mosquitos in korea:

I mean European countries get summer and winter
is this about the population decrease thing
Not London tho

What about spring and fall?
Population don't decrease in France 
India meanwhile: 👶🏽👶🏼👶🏾👶🏻👶👶🏾🤱🏾
ok that's cool and all
italy?
doesn't italy have a population slowness problem thing
e
Every Europe country have this problem. I'm talking just about white people not immigrants.
United Kingdom meanwhile: 😡😡😡
But everything will die soon.
Australia meanwhile: 🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
Lol
Population don't decrease in india
If i were the president the population would have been so less like so so less 
Soon - maybe thousands of years.
Due to war or climate change or artificial inflation
That's too late,
Nahhhh i want 6th major mass extinction instead
Yeah but which one
War? Economic starvation? Climate change? Aliens????
Maybe a volcano?
Bacterea fart one (oxygen) but that's impossible
Anything is fine
For your information. Climat change is a natural Process. Humans have increase this but haven't cause.
If the immigrant have the nationality, he is European.
If you're saying that you've never lived next to a pond with algal blooms problems
Also immigrants can also be white people
Ik but it's still going faster than it should.
Of course.
That's right.
And I feel like it's pretty pathetic that we're letting it happen when we're powerful enough to reverse it due to fake numbers
This is a stupid issue. Let people move wherever they want. Just make sure they can afford and maintain their own land.
European Union did nothing about that.
Let the mother nature cause the mass extinction
Let the evolution happen once again i mean humans are not THAT important
You're saying that because you know you won't live through it.
It's a defeatist mentality.
For me. People should move around they continent.
But this is just me.
Heh.
Duh
Define a "continent" with terms that weren't made up by man
I'm waiting to judgement day.
It doesn't really matter
Humans were and are not only being in this planet
If I have the money to afford a plane to Canada why can't I go? I can get a job, buy a house, it will be hard but it's possible, I mean if a Canadian came to India Indians would be ecstatic!
Nah. Cause I'm brown.
Big land which is separated with the sea, oceans or mountains from other big lands.
In that case India would be a separate continent.
Mountains - Ural.
Gondovana PTSD
I miss being a Giganotosaurus
And north America would be split in two
The Himalayas are pretty wide, and tall,
Infact the widest and tallest!
Widest?
ALSO who fucking cares. I can go through a valley and boom. I'm in a new place. Wtf u gonna do.
Ur mom
Wtf
🗿
Why the mom
Europe and Asia is a Euroassia. And this is also a continent for some people.
We can end this here.
Gondovana > your continents
Cry
And people shouldn't be punished for going to where the grass is greener.
Questions?
You're right.
This guy right here would die first in the mass extinction
Ahh. I Forget. If in country is war or food crisis of course!
End.
We shouldn't tak about it.
Yeah, anyways,
Cell to singularity is literally a game about humans looking for a planet that is more habitable if the earth can no longer sustain us
It's literally immigration
Truth is however, imo no planet can be made to be more hospital than the worst earth can be
Terraformed mars only makes sense to an extent, it can't become 2nd earth.
Oh no
Hi Aditya
Hello
,
I'll address all of your points that you've brought up. I would like to start with mentioning that please use #🏠-general channel for any form of feedback and not #💬-cells-chat.
1. IAP Ideas & Devs:
- The devs are a very dedicated and are busy working hard on new content, and while they might not be as active in Discord, they are passionate about the game and constantly create new content.
- Regarding the x2 metabits IAP, there's more to consider than just cost. We need to maintain a balanced playing field and prevent exploits. I went through your suggestion and it wasnt detailed enough and it does not work out practically to make an IAP cost increase *exponentially *as informed in your suggestion. Therefore the suggestion was denied due to lack of practicality and balancing in mind
2. Zeppelin Bot:
- We understand Zeppelin can seem strict at times. However, it does a lot more than just limit emojis and images. It protects the server from malicious activity behind the scenes, keeping things safe for everyone.
- I'll look into adjusting the spam threshold to reduce accidental mutes for legitimate counting activity.
- As for why zeppelin ? Zeppelin offers a more sophisticated level of control to programmatically specify rules with a lot of depth
3. #🎨-cells-art Channel Cooldown:
- The cooldown in #🎨-cells-art exists to prevent the channel from getting flooded with text messages. This ensures everyone has a chance to showcase their fanart without their work getting buried in a chat stream. It's not meant to restrict freedom of speech, but rather to keep the channel focused on its purpose.
Lastly, Let's Keep it Chilll, While I understand your frustrations regarding the server, lashing out in this manner can make things tense for everyone. We want to keep the server a friendly place so lets focus on respectful feedback to improve the server experience in the future.
what if they were convicted criminals or something
say country A has no law about saying "rizz"
person A said "rizz"
country B has a law that states that saying "rizz" is punishable by death
person A wants to emigrate to country B
country B says nuh uh
something like that
vague, vague, vague all around
can we just agree on the old and more better definition of continent
large landmass surrounded by large water
lemme read all of it
americas, afro eurasia, and antarctica
the three continents
(australia is the largest island gang rise up)
Understandable. Sorry. You guys win. I'll just shut off my mouth
please don't say "you guys win" it feels like there are two sides in a war
which is not the case
there are none and it's no war
I missed the whole drama, shit
BBC?
basically made some compliments about this server
including zeppelin
Yeah I saw it
So funny that you think mee6 is better
It was here before but only for levels
And it was changed to pepe manager after I asked why we still have mee6 if pepe manager is better
First of all why would saying rizz be a crime, second of all I know what you're saying, and I think it's stupid.
I mean I'm Afab and non-binary and attracted to women, my very existence is punishable by death already. So obviously I wouldn't go to a country where I'd get executed.
ohio skibidi gyatt rizz
But let's say I was in a country that was going through a war or a bad dictatorship like Palestine or North Korea, and my neighbours would execute me. That's an L.
I don't think you actually know the meaning of any of that
Brother
You died! Lanzoor absolutely died of boredom
Eat a cola 🤌
Hey now! Boredom is a crime.
Are you really joking at a time like this?
This server had Dyno and mee6, both at same time
good enough analogy
Huh? Really? How come I never saw dyno here 🤔
wait really?
the server sould remain with dyno
but why did zeppelin came out?
(im not going to cause a drama again, im just curious how zeppelin replaced dyno)
(and if so, what was the mute time when this server had dyno? 1 hour?)
geez
GEEZ but the effects are trash
I believe Zeppelin was here before Dyno, so I guess Dyno had a different task
Also Zeppelin was programmed by Aditya, not created, search about zeppelin in Google, you'll understand
ok
yep
wait actually
yeah
looked back and it seemed like that
if i remember correctly, longer
oh wait nvm dyno was never for moderation i just said that
silly me
GEE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh wow
I think the whole strictness of the server could be blamed on one person and one person alone: I'm about to mention who is practically an urban legend now: Lizzy.
∿ sine wave
hi chat
Hi
Urbanned legend
she who must not be named
haha good one
yknow i still question why her spotify account is named "noah" and xbox account "gamerbro2xx9"
She was called earlier little digger and referred to herself "he"
She has a boyfriend and claims she's straight tho
*had idk but judging by the no longer matching pfps they broke up
makes me wonder why is there no feminine version of noah
a common rule of thumb i made up, add an -a at the end of most male names and it probably becomes female
noaha? yeah no
Holy fuck, tomorrow is my 25th birthday already!
omg happy birthday
hapy earlt birthday
Dammn bro
Happy b day
#visual-art-contest message is like 1 hour away from the deadline of the contest wow
congrats
or something idk i suck at this
i mean i typoed on the word "early" for someone's birthday
like that's depressing
damn, someone sliding in with really dope art right at the last moment
actually I had a friend who transitioned and his name used to be Naomi, so I think Female is Naomi and Male is Noah.
OpA
What.
Noelle
According to the bible writers. It's for both genders:
damn what'd they do
Lot's. It's a big story and I can't say more than that. Just, don't be Lizzy.
I feel like beyond should grant more bonus speed for standard
it only has twenties, you can have much more quantity of 0.01s from valley and events
Happy birthday 🎉 (I hope it's tomorrow in your timezone)
Hello guys, I'm new here and i wanted to know how to save my account to start the beta test
Ok I will do screenshot and then I will explain you
You need to click here in the top right bottom of the screen
Then click on "game transfer"
Then here
You'll need to enter your email and your password
And after, click on "transfer to the cloud"
If you want to recover your save, click here
someone help me get finder of semblance's secrets
also cell to singularity api would be sick
Wdym api
like
to check stats
uh
to add like plugins and stuff
idk what plugins but yea
I mean I can imagine a website where you can look up a person and see their progress
That might be cool
Bruhhh
What did you say 💀
Guys look it’s evil semblance
I think there should be a feature that holding this button automatically stops at how many you should buy
someone is going to get freaky with this 💀💀 https://character.ai/chat/gZlknRUojm919_6-BeJPM4nhXsW6n4kxXrCt490wzNM
talk to semblance
IT ACTUALLY IS ON C.AI 💀💀💀 https://character.ai/chat/3ufC0tASSy2yfphSjOI6NOBjxw1vf2gNuJQ7zg7KLGw
noelle is the feminine version of noel
istg
why
idk
Fuck i forgot to play cells today
oh no
I want to get rid of or move the bata thing it just gets in my way and I can't see unless I move it up
as you can see the thingy is at the bottom
you can't, unless you leave beta
oh I didn't know thanks for letting me know
semblance to icosahedron
or icosadodecahedron
or rhombicosicahedron
semblance x assembly:
I'm back... after a bunch of uninstalling and reinstalling
And I somehow have my save when I installed
I did leave beta tho
Anyway there's a lot i have to do afk, that's why I haven't been able to participate much in beta and the art contest
But I really wanna think of my submission
It's my birthday today!!!
Happy birthday!!!
@zealous vale Here, moving my question here
Please explain how ai creates art the
The AI analyses millions if not billions of different images and turns them into abstractions.
When you prompt, it searches for these abstractions and then combines them into something completely new and distinct.
This learning process isn't this different from the way artist learns different techniques & styles in art school.
While this learning process does involve scraping copyrighted & trademarked images, this is perfectly legal, and the output of an AI falls under "fair use" since it's completely transformative.
"Fan art", created the traditional way, actually qualifies as "theft" much more than AI art, since most of it is barely tranformative and contains characters that are the IP of corporations like Disney.
While anyone can write any text in a prompt and an AI can create something beautiful by accident, actually mastering prompting and producing high quality content consistently is pretty hard and requires lots of practice, since the logic behind if is pretty fuzzy.
I've worked as a programmer professionally for more than a decade, and, in my experience, mastering prompting is much more difficult than mastering programming, precisely because of this fuzzy logic. The logic behind programming code is highly predictable, so you know exactly what a function outputs and can even produce tests to assure that the ouput of a function produces certain output. Precisely because much of what an AI does is a "black box", this isn't possible with prompting, and this is what makes it a lot more difficult to master.
I've been prompting ever since 2022, and most of my current prompts are the results of a gradual refinement process going back all the way to August 2023. I still consider myself a novice in this area, though, and it'll probably take several years until I consider myself an expert.
Also, note that quite a few AI artist already were writers, oil painters, photographers, etc. before they got into AI art.
Myself, I've always walked the thin line that separates art, design & tech, and I created my first Winamp skin back in 2000.
Since then, I've created anything from logo's & flyers to a corporate short film, entire websites & home interior.
Stable Diffusion, the AI I used, is just one of various tools in my belt, alongside Photoshop/Gimp, Publisher, Premiere, Sketchup & HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
Further, note that Photoshop already integrated generative AI into its latest version(s), which further blurs the line between "traditional" digital art & AI art.
And various artists also combine a generative AI with other tools, like video editing tools, etc. to create distinct new artworks.
Myself, I'm currently using GIMP to combine various images I created with Stable Diffusion to create a new submission for this content.
Long text just to say "AI takes millions of artworks without consent from the artists"
"Art students learn concepts & techniques from countless artists preceding them without their content"
"Fan art uses the IP of various corporations without their consent"
The learning & creation of AI both fall under "fair use".
second and third lines are horrifically- what's a nice word- terrible to say the least? like that's the nicest I can put that, just terrible.
I see chat is active
I just watched a movie with my two best friends I'm GREAT at social interaction
poggers
Nice
Now they are arguing on fried chicken
There were a lot of controversies about ai that use art to learn without consent and also that ai were creating arts very similar to original ones, which definitely not falls under "fair use"
In my own opinion, ai can make art that is perfectly fine, but it also have a lot of controversies
Creating an ai art takes like 30 minutes for someone who isn't a prompt engineer which doesn't sounds like much effort, you can create really good art in that time which doesn't sounds fair for people that spends several days making their art to send their submission for the contest
I know once they done I'll get a pizza for em
pizza does sound like the best option
As stated, both the learning & creation of AI both fall under "fair use".
Calling it theft is "disingenuous", as it would call anything learned in art school by an art student "theft".
Also, note that all "fan art" actually qualifies far more than AI art as theft, as it included the literal IP of corporations.
All of my work is unique & distinct.
I hope that makes sense since I'm in school and didn't think much when writing it
I mean, I spent 3 days straight on my art, planning n all, it would be a bummer to see ai art that was stolen from an artist to win. I simply wouldn't participate again imo, so it's better to separate ai from hand made.
Ai uses prompts, not even real coding and more work is done by the ai than the coder.
Yeah, exactly
I created 43 different versions.
Out of these 43 versions I so far picked 6, which I'm using to make a collage with using GIMP.
I've been working on this for several hours now...
Okay that's great! You're putting time into it! But as I said, it's work being done by the bot,
I've been a professional coder for more than 10 years.
I know from experience that MASTERING coding is far more difficult than MASTERING prompting.
Sure, anyone can write some text in a text field. But that doesn't make you a prompting expert...
Just the same, knowing how to click a button doesn't make you a photography expert...
Just the same, being able to write a "hello word" program doesn't make you a coding expert...
I use Stable Diffusion, but all the creative work is still done by me.
The AI merely does what you tell it to...
And, again, it doesn't involve any "theft".
All of my work is 100% unique & distinct.
That's great that you put actual effort into this but most people don't, that's why I said that if they would give 20 darwinium for the submission, there should be only 10 for ai art since most people don't spend that much time as you
Most people don't put much effort into photography either.
Most people just make selfies or have someone else make a portrait of them on holidays.
I'm not most people.
I put effort in all of my work, whether it's photography, graphic design, coding or AI art...
Bro's walking into a food competition and being mad he can't order from subway 💀
Lmao, that's a great comparison
I'm just tired of this same old discussion with people who have no clue what they're talking about, and who attack something that has been my passion since 2022 and is something I already invested 100s of hours in... yet supposedly I'm lazy for using an AI...
Great...
It's more like walking into an art competition and being mad because I'm not allowed to submit a photograph or a movie I directed because clueless people don't consider photography or movies art...
Also good
Corvus just made a suggestion
I don't think anyone is lazy for using AI, it could be that they don't feel like doing a task entirely, or just don't know how to do it. But if an AI has participated in the development of a project, the user who has used it cannot get all the credit (or none at all for writing to the AI what he wants it to do). So the prize for the contest should be reduced to avoid this (because we can't give an AI darwinium, and we don't know what people did with that AI answer)
that's a lot of typers tbh
Noo, come back
what sugg
yes i abbreviate suggestion into sugg
deal with it, or should i say sugg with it huh yeah
wait that sounds-
That people should get participation rewards
nah
for real
Even if we accept Ai images are art, it's still a art you are commissioning from someone (the Ai).
You can't just walk into the Oscars being a director and want to win best actor. Sure, you can compete with other directors, but you can't compete in a category that you don't even qualify for.
That's why Ai is a different category here.
because then people can just copy paste entropy tens of times and get free 20 darwinium
This is quite a conversation
a conversation easily avoidable tbh
frfr ong no cap
Again, I've already been working on my new submission for hours.
I'm still working on it.
And I've working for literally hundreds of hours to refine my skills.
How does any of this suggest laziness?
see even sigh agrees
but I just said I don't consider it laziness 😅
that having used a generative tool, part of the idea belongs to the AI, and yes, you have put a lot of effort into it, but we, as judges, judge the work itself, not the time spent, that's how art has always worked. One dish is not better than another because of the time spent, but because of the strategy used
A photographer delegates the technical work to a camera.
A movie director delegates the technical work to a team of experts.
An AI artist delegates the technical work to an AI.
There's literally no difference.
Also, note that, for my new submission I'm using GIMP to create a collage of thusfar 6 different images I generated.
So, for my new submission, I'm not delegating all the technicam work to an AI...
I've been playing video games for years and I'm amazing at roblox arsenal. I am forcefully removed from the shooting range
In the case of photography there are people who find the best photo of their life in a short time, and others have to spend more time on it, and may or may not have a better result. That is luck, and AI being a black box, it is luck that you get one result or another
Oh def.
oh, happy birthday GaianCommander 🥳
The thing is, while a photographer does all the camera work, if they didn't make the thing they are photographing, they shouldn't join a competition for creating said thing.
They should be in a photography competition.
Just like Ai should be in a separate category from art competitions.
I missed it sorry
Happy birthday!
Thx Drako. I still can't believe that I am 25 years old today.
Wonder what he's cooking lol.
Being able to consistently output specific content in a specific setting in a specific style with an AI requires a lot more than just luck.
It requires painstaking, gradual refinement, just like any other kind of art.
So you're saying that it's different than other arts, that's right? So it's only logical that it would be a different competition
I mean, you said that that it requires the same amount of work as any other art. But it's still different than other arts right?
Why make a separate category for just AI art?
Why not make a separate category for handdrawn art, digital art, etc?
Also, as stated, I'm surrently using GIMP (similar to Photoshop) to create a collage of 6 different images.
Does that still qualify as AI art?
How much work in other tools is required for something to no longer qualify as AI art?
I see AI art as very similar to photography or movies.
So, no, it's not different from other art.
Some people see it differently.
You used ai to create art that you're now editing, it's still considered an ai art
Honestly, no matter what you do, it would still be considered ai art since the base image you're working on was created by ai
It's another story if you use ai as ideas creator
These were AI.
Again...
How much work in other tools is required for something to no longer qualify as AI art?
That you use ai to create images and then create a new art that's done by you based on that images
This ^
Based, I don't mean that they would be used in the art you would make
AI isn't an "ideas creator".
It's still the artist who has the ideas.
The AI merely executes it... just like a camera executes the ideas for a photographer or a team of experts executes the ideas for a movie director...
wait this discussion's till goin?
Apparently so.
great scottish opening!
You can have separate categories, but these aren't as necessary as said arts simply use different materials, while Ai is a completely different method.
Going back to the cooking competition analogy, you can delimit what people have to cook, but you should for sure delimit that they can't just order from a restaurant.
that's crazy tho
AI art also uses simply a different tool...
nvm a scottish opening does not exist... but an english one does? ermmm cringe???
Huh? Just a bit confused that's all.
Pffffffffffffft.
reference to great scot or something
Ah.
I've been a digital artist / designer since 2000.
I've been drawing since the 1980s.
AI is just another tool I use.
hi quarter
No. You aren't using any methods other artists using.
Heck, you are literally just commissioning from the Ai. It's a completely different thing, not something in the same branch with different materials.
yippee for another pin

Sure, I'm using methods other artists use...
Composition, color palletes, etc.
Those still apply when using AI art...
No, you aren't. The Ai is.
Wrong...
You're just telling ai to do this
the absurdity of #🏠-general
Mhm.
Does a director use the methods of a cameraman or an actor?
Which is like you would tell in subway what you want and then submit it into a cooking competition
But you added something or cut it
"A movie director is just telling his crew to do this".
"A photographer is just telling his camera to do this".
That's how silly you sound to people who actually know what they're talking about!
ok i know i wanted this discussion to end but i still have no idea what is it about
yeah but what about it?
is it ethical? is it useful?
That's the big question.
should the contest have it?
@wooden spire @opaque drum @zealous vale we don't need to keep arguing this, mainly cause I just don't want a fight to continue in here
just stop discussing the topic
what topic lmao
And those two statements are 100% true
And I believe there's no competition that you can submit normal art and photos
forgot quarterback but ok
Alright I'm shutting up
Anyway.....
oops, I meant to ping quarter, not you LMFAO
it's aight
You don't consider photography or movies "normal art"?
waaaagh let's just stop
Yes. A directing is it's own field of expertise, separate from acting, filming, etc. It should'nt be in the same category.

please guys, stop right now. There is no sense in fight
art is in the eye of the beholder something something super relative let's agree to disagree and stop now
If you could travel anywhere all expenses paid, where would go?
heaven
if it exists
- Albert PIcasso Einstein or someone idk
if it doesn't, uhhh lots of places
Personally, I'd travel to Germany.
i knew it the word relative would bring up einstein
Sure. I'm just repeating the same thing at this point anyway lol
Cause I used to live there twice and it was beautiful.
Can I take someone with me (and does they also have all expenses paid?)
Yes.
anyways, for real i'd probably go to the pentagon or something
idk how i'll get there, but all expenses paid sooo
True.
Then I'd take my sister to Paris for like a month or something since she always wanted to go there
She's saving up for a few years now, I believe she'll eventually go there
be careful in Paris, and have a good time
Yeah, I heard there's a lot going on in France
For like a year now
me waiting for another vc event for new event release :
why is https://discord.com/channels/488478892873744385/867505206795173899 still live tho
like the channel still there
look at that i did a fancy
we forgor to lock it
so you're going to lock it now or...
I'm on vacation
but- it can take me a couple clicks, so no harm in doing it anyway
done
rip to funny music
I forgot where do I get the beta
ah thank you
hmm it says I've alr submitted before
I don't remember the Gmail name
can someone tell me
Ooh no access
Well, I don't know what's your Gmail lol
But you should have their email which you can use again to get back in beta
Unless you deleted it, then I guess you could contact lunch@computerlunch.com if they can add you back
ah their email is lunch?
alright ill check
Wait did they change something to these constellations achievements or is this a glitch?
some of constellation badge was giving stardust and dark matter so they reset
smh i accidently deleted the gmail
how do i contact them
ah
thank you
Send the email to lunch@computerlunch.com
thank you
Hi are they any helpers or someone who can help me with... bug? Or something similar? Hard to describe so here are the screens. In short I got last shark and then he disappeared
Hey, already answered you in #🇵🇱-polski channel
Got this guy in the mail.
flat crocodile
Lol that's adorable ☺️
That's very cute
Alligator.*
Cute
It's Arthur the alligator by name.
He certainly looks like an Arthur
I'm calling him Casper, named after my scalesona.
flat Arthur Al?
Lmao
Niccce
He honestly looks like a oliver to me.

I'm stuck in beyond 11 rn, because I got lazy with ads. 
Each ad veiw should give 8 hrs to the boost btw, 4 hr increments are too smol
Considering 3 game modes plus reasearch and event.
That's a metric ass ton of ads. Like 60 to 80
Ad viewing simulator.
Well, you don't need to watch them, but if you decide to, devs earn more that way
you don't need ads to progress
Yep, exactly
I know, just would be nice if i could upgrade the hours boost per ad.
It just makes it faster
The only correct way of doing that would be to use real money to increase it imo
For all practical purposes the ad boost is essential unless you want to progress 4x+ slower.
8x slower for idle
Which is 4x slower.
And by using boosts you get 4x more temporarily
And 8x slower counting the ad to double your idle
If it would be permanent you could say that normal speed is 4x slower
3 days is not very temporary, but it requires 18 ads to fill
X3 modes.
Plus reasearch and event.
That becomes a lot.
Still temporary since it'll run out eventually
Like discord nitro is also temporary unless you pay money each month
Everything is temporary since we're all going to die. Not the point
It's a lot of ad views. I'd rather just pay a little fee for the booster to skip them tbh.
The maintenance is already growing very tedious
That's true. I made it a point to not buy darwinium to do it myself, but I guess i could.
And that's technically skipping them, but you don't have infinite darwinium so you would either go back to ads or buy darwinium every now and then
It's just watching 40 ads to keep everything full every 3 days is getting tiresome
Well, you don't need to honestly, you just would need to spend some more time before getting something
Then ofc there are the ads for the red dwarf stars and geodes and meso mystery card, which are all important because of epic and rare chances
And constellation for red dwarf
If I can get the 5 sec ads I don't mind but I really hate forced non mutable 30 sec ads for some shitty fake game from a sketchy company based in hong kong.
I get those a ton. Lol
Mystery card in meso is better for epic and rare cards since if you finally get them, you instatnly gain half a level
Yeah mystery card is nice
I have not found 1 beyond epic so far, saving darwinium for a blue star.
Meso is a lot more generous with epics and rares.
Need to consider that scaling is (i believe) the same in meso and beyond and we only have 23 ranks in beyond for now
Yeah
What do I do with all this popcorn
