How to see whether a Chinese handmade teapot is well done or not - quality of the spout is an important standard.
cr: 承启 建水紫陶
that last teapot is like witnessing an eternal and important truth
I just watched this with the sound on and i really recommend it because the utter silence of the last teapot is both perfectly predictable and totally remarkable.

obsessed with this upcoming ikea storage box which looks like it's a cousin of a mimic, Luggage from Discworld and a labubu all at once

it does suck that to enjoy almost any piece of media as a fat person you have to just like tune your brain out and let shit slide constantly. oh yeah this episode is really good other than the five minutes of jokes about how lazy and morally repugnant this fat character is. yeah i Love this character he has an arc where his moral corruption is visually represented by him gaining a lot of weight but other than that he's great. this slightly chubby character actually even gets to be major player and his friends only tell him to lose weight as a joke every few episodes. if you just skip these exact time codes you can basically pretend the creators actually see you and people who look like you as equally human and deserving of dignity
#it's absurd how pervasive it is#though this is making me realize that. somehow i think my current fixation [f&] actually doesn't have any of the typical fat enemy tropes#which is surprising given its genre#dgmw it's not like there's positive representation of fat characters either#but the issue is so pervasive in game design that it's still notable#i think look outside might actually be pretty good about portraying fat characters but i still haven't finished that#anyways. i've been binging all of adventure time and being a kids show makes the recurring fatphobia leave an even worse taste in my mouth#reblog#fatphobia

it's actually insane to me that people are trying to defend an imagined sanctity of ads. "well at least it took skill to make the food look fake" these dumbasses cannot be serious. yeah thank god this ad was created by humans trying to sell a product to me by lying instead of a human-made machine programmed to do it. someone trying to defend 'real' ads (as opposed to those 'fake' ai ones) saying at least 'real' ads don't pollute homes and take local water, which really goes to show what goes on in the mind of an ai hater. 'real' ads just spawned from the void fully formed with no consequences to overall society whereas 'fake' ai ads crawled up from a pit of pollution with the sole purpose of being evil

yeah like. When it comes to environmental impact the advertising industry is the very definition of wasting tons of resources and producing inordinate amounts of pollution to produce nothing of value. Like saying that at least "real" ads are not killing the planet is something you can only believe if you live in a fantasy world where all those pamphlets and billboards and posters just spawn out of the void instead of being printed somewhere, and all those spam emails and calls involve zero computational resources and energy consumption.
Like. I personally do think AI usage *might* end up worsening the environmental impact of the advertising industry, but if it does it will be less because AI is the mythically evil water-chuggining environment-poisoning machine and more because, as I said on another post, it lowers the economic barrier of entry of producing an ad, thus leading to companies making more ads, and more resources being wasted on printing and broadcasting ads.

Folks are really out there arguing that generative AI represents the death of truth in advertising like we haven't spent decades watching TV commercials pour motor oil on pancakes because real syrup doesn't look like what people expect syrup to look like.
I think what the present discourse about generative AI in advertising really highlights is that a concerning number of people genuinely have no idea how far removed your average TV spot is from the reality of whatever it's trying to sell you. Like, I don't just mean camera tricks and good lighting – I mean that more often than not, the thing on screen simply objectively does not depict the thing you're buying. We're trading one maliciously deceptive simulacrum for another.
Even tho that's technically true, I still think the art of making fake food is still cool and shouldn't be replaced with AI
I think when discussing the evils of the Lying To You In Increasingly Intrusive Ways industry, the artistic integrity of the medium they're using to lie to you is a deeply silly thing to be concerned about tbh.
it's still a neat art form that is in danger of being lost
Nobody is stopping me from pouring motor oil on pancakes and taking a picture of it as an art project if I want.
Much of the techniques used for fake food in advertising are also used in filmmaking. AI being used for ads is not going to be the death of that artform. Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to false advertising
