No, no, it's okay :) Beldarna's first language is not English so I don't think she meant anything bad by "haters", at least not how you seemed to take it :) I just wanted to stop a potential argument.

Pony Corral / Re: Is this pony a prototype?
« Last post by Taffeta on Today at 11:28:15 AM »
I don't really see how a packaged pony could be a prototype. Seems odd, no? Most prototype ponies I have seen have been packaged in just a plastic bag.

Definitely just European packaging. If the seller charged for a prototype pony I would ask for a partial refund.
I think the seller was trying to sell it as a "mock up pack", like a sort of example of what the final packaging would look like. I only paid $40 USD for it though, so I'm not too concerned about getting my money back.

It doesn't take a lot of work for them to find out what they really have before they sell it though. Unfortunately there's a lot of this uninformed selling going on :/

If you are ok with the price then there's probably no need to ask for a refund or whatever, but maybe drop the seller a line so they don't make the same mistake in the future :)

Hi there! I'm hoping there is a user here currently in Poland who can help me with getting a set of books sent to the UK. I know that shipping would be expensive but I am desperate to get hold of these Poland exclusive books! I will of course pay for everything.

I'm happy to provide eBay feedback, I have 450 positive feedbacks there.

If you can help please DM me! If you want anything from the UK I can help you out in return as a thank you. Thanks in advance, I would be so, so grateful!

- Amy <3

This was last night. I was eating strawberries and I went to pet Aster. She went crazy on my fingers! So I gave her a little slice of strawberry and she acted like some cats act with catnip :lol: I got it all on video!

I'm giving up on the craft closet. I just can't seem to get motivated for it.

I really want to make some miniatures. Still working on ponies. I'd also like to do a live stream for my channel today.

See, I'm not afraid of AI taking over. The reason is simply because it's still created and taught by humans. Humans are very flawed. If anything a hyper intelligent AI would be more like a human with an inflated ego that isn't as self aware as it think it is. That will be its flaw. There's a game called I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream that's based on a (terrible) short story about a super computer that has taken over the universe. The game is very, very good. In the end how they defeat the computer is simple, because it does not believe it is imperfect. It thinks it's a God. There are humans with this line of thinking as well, and they are probably the most flawed out of any of us.

As far as AI taking away jobs, I really don't think that will happen. I've used the gen to create OC in a pinch, but I still commission artists if I have something very specific in mind. There are enough people who are against AI or who are not interested in using it to keep artists in business.

*puts on Mod hat: Also let's keep this civilized, please. No name calling ("haters") and no baiting. No arguing. We're just talking :)

Thank you so much everyone for the hugs. Hugs right back to you :heart: I've slept horribly and it has taken a lot of time to It's both a plus and a minus with AI in art. Within Temptation has released three musicvideos by using AI and has gotten a lot of backlash because of it. But they explained it's still a lot of work to make it right. John is a photographer and AI is part of the latest photoshop and he has used that sometimes to edit a pic, like adding a leg that was covered or extended a floor. For some it's cheating and stealing, for some it's a tool. Unfortunaly the haters voices are the loudest.
I agree that it can be used as a tool, but what do you mean by "haters"? For most, the thought of AI taking artists out of jobs is awfully scary.

I don't want us to be feeding Skynet... remember all the terrifying Sci-fi we have that warns us NOT to be doing this stuff?  Scenarios like Minority Report really worry me.

Trader & Shipping Support / Re: Returned package from Brazil
« Last post by Barnacle_lady on Today at 07:01:21 AM »
If it was just 1 pony thing the easiest would have been to take that one out and forward the rest. That's why packages are being opened. Especially from where I live they are very strict on their packages whatever is in it :) But maybe they did take it out and decided to send it all back.

But still it's vague yeah since I am probably not the first one sending toys.
