(Bottom line: this system is possible, but not necessarily feasible. Don't try to build something like this in your backyard; if you survive the launch and don't get arrested for reckless endangerment, the results will be disappointing.)

Apple Special Event starting in 8 minutes. FYI.

I'm never going to finish decoding this language, am I?

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything

All black, everything, everything, black

The bad news is that I’ve forgotten all the subdivision beat-related level ideas I’ve had since Everything Black . . .

Oh, it's time for fishin’,

Because it's fishing time

Oh, it's time for fishin’,

Hook a big one on the line

Oh, it's time for fishin’,

Even when it's cold

Oh, it's time for fishin’,

Through poison, fire and mold!

ENTRY 9.2.C - Quantum Daydreams!

. . . I was also reminded of the Divergent Divinity axiom. 'Ancient' societies are archetypically characterized as great, all-knowing masters of the universe, whose workings can never be truly understood. The axiom states that even gods, even ancients, even fabled beings to whom you would hold your hands to your forehead and proclaim "OH, MIGHTY SISU!" . . . are still people. People with thoughts. People with feelings. People with logic. People with sympathy. People with petty inclinations, most of all. They must be out there somewhere. All signs point to it.

Craiyon, my preferred AI image generator, got a new major release out just in time to stop me from switching to Nightcafe. The new version includes a redefined selection of style models, modifiable aspect ratios, and most notably, base image support. In response, I pitted my some of original art pieces against the AI. While I was initially a little jarred at seeing my art both upscale and deep-fried, I found a new way to use it.

The way I look at it, base image generation works by showing the AI a blurred version of the base image and having it reconstruct it from the provided prompt. The process results in the AI mixing impurities with the provided framework, which can create useful and valuable results. In the roughly 15 minutes I've been using it for so far, I've run across two useful character designs. With active engineering and further development, I should be able to make something of both quantitative and qualitative value!

ENTRY D - The Dog Toy Argument

Pariki: "I wish there were a place where I could be in my element. Where I could sit surrounded by the tortured echoes of countless dragons. Where I could hold their heads in my arms and absorb their worries. Where we can both benefit from interaction."

Icelandic Waters: ". . . so, a petting zoo?"

I would like to report that I sincerely hate this website even more. Not only does it hold your request ransom until you register or accept defeat, but it does actually process your request and display it behind a blurwall that can't be removed through HTML amputation. The result can be retrieved through an element inspector, but that can't be done on browsers that don't have one.

. . . heh, sorry; I'm just a little too worked up about the mechanical injustice of this website. Had to vent it somewhere.

I sincerely hate services that claim you don't need an account to use them, present you with forms to submit a request, then backstab you when you submit the form.
