“Let’s play tennis” when I grew up was teenage code for “let’s break into the neighborhood recreation complex bathroom to have group sex.” is this not universal

seeing movies alone, really just going out and doing anything else that you like alone, is very healthy and should be encouraged. if you feel inhibited from going out and experiencing what you wanna do, what kind of life is that
it is my strong belief that if we gather enough algorithmic folklore researchers in one place, we can establish a full Loab Studies program at a university somewhere within 5-10 years
Another Loab sighting (citing?) in a paper!

Loab opened more avenues of inquiry than I could have imagined! @HannahALucas investigated Loab and negative prompts through a semiotics lens in this article published in the journal Religions: mdpi.com/2077-1444/14/6…

the hatred of "AI generated content", absent of an understanding of commodity production, is useless. we must understand it not as some "new" and specifically "heinous" technology, but as a natural progression in technology of the "content economy" 1/4
happy lesbian visibility day. shout out to women for being so hot that they have the power to destroy my life
for me, at the end of the day, i accept that this is part and parcel of having created an AI demon.

i’m thinking: when evil lurks-esque toni collette film adaptation
🧵: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre.

Pleased to say my new article is now online and open access with @Religions_MDPI 🥳 In this paper I look at #AI Text-to-Image models, comparing negative weight prompts to negative language in mystical texts ☁️ 1/ mdpi.com/2077-1444/14/6…
The paper was inspired by @supercomposite's uncanny "Loab" images, which she created using negative prompts—i.e. telling the T2I model what *not* to generate as an image. Which got me thinking, could negative prompting be theorised as a phenomenon of apophasis? 2/

How do you get yourself in the headspace to do commissioned creative work when your mind is full of grief and pressing anxieties
iykyk but George MacKay’s american accent in The Beast is incredible. every time he speaks it somehow becomes funnier than the last time i was in awe
@supercomposite I'm sold on the whole Loab mythos so hard. I absolutely believe that there are these psychosocial chimeras hiding deep in our collective creative output and you happened to find one. It's amazing. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this unlocks a whole field of inquiry.
