As a furry, you either die a network engineer, or live long enough to go to Raytheon.

Couldn't you at least, like, switch to chinese Raytheon maybe?

If not, get canadian healthcare I guess

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

Either way, you're gonna end up hiding your face

dog-scremaaaa

Unfortunately this kind of thing is still common

These people (imperial soldiers, MIC ghouls, etc) need to be ejected from the furry community

And there is a basis for this kind of action, the furry subculture is full of marginalized people oppressed by the same system that these people serve

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 26 points 9 months ago

MIC ghouls need to get kicked from everywhere, even kkkountry kkklub.

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

Agreed

Literally the least we could do, besides smashing the imperialist MIC

This just brought back memories of that twitter account that posted furry comics that doubled as US military propaganda.

(CW: imperialist war in Iraq, killing of George Floyd) To those who haven't seen it before: click here for instant and total psychic annihilation

It was obviously someone fucking with people to cause drama or some kind of psyop that became a bit but yeah

Third picture feels like AI. It has that "I am an image generated based on a training set" feeling to it really strongly.

Given that none of the images this poster makes have the same style between them I'm going to guess they're all AI.

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I'm not sure of the timeline here because the acct is suspended now and it's difficult to find screenshots or the art they uploaded but I think at least some of their art predates the good furry art generating AI models

Differing styles wouldn't be unusual because they could have been commissioning different artists rather than drawing it themselves

Edit: I found a source for the first image

https://www.deviantart.com/playfurry/art/Battlefield-560638322

It's from 2015 and unrelated

Maybe feds had their own before the idea made its way out into the public. Generating fake pictures of people would be a useful thing for a fed faking identities online.

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Feds have better things to do than manufacture furry drama online lol

If it was them they could have easily just paid someone to draw it

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

Why pay someone to draw it if you have a generative image tool to play around with?

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The feds creating novel solutions (as of the time of posting) to one of the big problems of computer science to create online furry drama seems unlikely to me

Beyond just the furry drama it still seems highly unlikely the feds had/have exclusive AI tech that can generate pictures of new, realistic human faces when there have been conventional image editing techniques to do the same for decades now at much, much less cost than AI

This kind of thing isn't unheard of but it's usually exclusive to things like... cryptography (like the NSA figuring out differential cryptanalysis before anyone else) where there is no substitute for having this advantage regardless of cost

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

Well feds created the internet and try to propose changes to FOSS so it’s not out the realm of possibility. But it’s unlikely they’re infiltrating the furry community, and if they are, they’re lying to their boss about the reason.

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

I'm sure they're using AI now that it's out there and they probably have their own models or variant tech cuz it's not that hard to make your own at this point

Becoming a furry to network for my aerospace engineering career.

OG hyper artist

What is this?

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

(CW: sex/kink) if you actually want to knowHyper is a word describing a particular kind of furry art, often sexualized, with characters that have unrealistically, sometimes fantastically, large body features. Like huge (if you're not familiar with this, you're probably not thinking large enough) breasts, paws, muscles, etc.

I don't mind, but your spoiler tag is broken--I think the problem is not leaving a space between ::: and spoiler.

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago

That's interesting, it looked right on my system! I edited it to add a space, is it good now? If you're comfortable sharing this info, what browser do you use? I'm on Firefox.

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Sorry, just saw this! Yup, it looks good to me now. I was viewing it on Jerboa (an Android Lemmy client), so it could just be that the Markdown parser is a bit stricter than Lemmy's/Hexbear's native parser. Let me try testing it myself in Firefox for Android to see what I see:

with spacetest

without spacetest test

Aha! They both look fine in Firefox and Chrome, but the second one breaks in Jerboa. I also looked at the post from Lemmygrad and it still looks fine, so it's not Hexbear-specific.
