I also really advise against posting about it in the way I'm seeing done. If this is true, there is an active investigation, and countless investigations of this nature have been sabotaged and cases thrown out because of people getting too involved.

please be cautious scrolling today. there are posts talking about CSAM because of a Matrix server hosted by ffxiv players that had names leaked.

some parting words between a mother and son. (and also, to a lesser extent, the demon that lives inside her job stone.)

it's the 2010s. someone has taken a look at your wol's journey and lore, and made the astute observation that things would be SO much better if they simply behaved logically and/or talked to people. how are they butchering your wol in their tedious AU fanfiction?

hanneli, a midlander with dark brown hair wears a white nightgown. she stands in front of a gradient blue background. the image is split in two by a red spine, connecting her dismembered head with her body. in her left hand is a dagger, surprisingly drawing blood from where she is stabbed. in the other, a human heart. perhaps it is hers, removed from her body.

i had saved this image to my phone gallery so i could make the original post here and it's still in there so every time i go to scroll through my gpose folder i get jumpscared anew. every single time, without fail. i gotta get rid of this guy, man

anyway, for the other, non-zodiark-related fright of the night: playing super advanced dress-up with your dollies means that sometimes you will get jumpscared in the process of turning off m*ds one by one to turn your dollies back to normal. 🤔
normal screenshot of horrid viera violet vespertine, except that his brows have been dyed black. that's it, that's the only difference.

vexatiously venomous, not at all venerable or valiant, vindictive veena viera Violet Vespertine looking at something on his tomephone that is pissing him off. probably all the alliteration is what it is (who the fuck do you think you are, alan moore??? shut up!!!) ⬅️ Let your followers tell you one thing they like about your OC.

with this one my very first thought was to return to kaizou's earliest roots as a (pf2e) sharpshooter rich boy who picked up pistol showmanship as a fun party trick. i don't knoooowwww (there is a CW on this one, please mind it!!)

vespertine's favorite word has got to be "fuck"/"fucking" tbh. he would NEVER swear when he's acting professionally (or speaking in any other context where he can't just bully people into taking him seriously), but otherwise he is sprinkling that shit into virtually every other sentence 🤷

Does your wol / oc finding themselves swearing / cursing often? Is it something that just slips out, or it’s completely and irreversibly apart of their vocabulary?

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.
faineg.com Faine Greenwood @faineg.com · 2d
The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing @realizingerin I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone. Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down. My experience was the exact opposite. The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong. Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom. I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise. At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position. I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well. That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have. But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse
