This week it's my turn! Super happy to be back on stage after WAY TOO LONG and on top of that with a song I have sung myself :3 Since my neighbors probably wouldn't appreciate a 3am jam session I won't sing live BUT I do hope you enjoy it to the fullest regardless, I'm very proud of it 🥰

I don't have many bookings looking forward past this week. I know I'm not the most popular whatever, but if you'd like someone to with heart to come in and set a vibe. I'm always down, big or small. I'll have a blast even if it's 5 people jamming. I'm a polyjamorous DJ; I'll play anything.

Seeing so many artists come together in a space that is so dear to me makes me incredibly happy to see. Don't give up. Keep creating.

Momentum has been building up all day and I'm proud of this community actually starting to come together on this issue. Thanks for getting this rolling @b1g.monster

My workflow doesn't allow me to easily update my worlds at the moment without breaking something, but you damn bet I won't remain silent about AI generated crap. #VRChat

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

In the politest terms, I think it'd be nice if we actively discouraged the use of the very tool that stole our work without our consent, eh?

If you still are, do not, I repeat DO NOT use Spotify to find new songs. If you look for "similar to artist" you will get AI If you listen to your discovery weekly, you will get AI If you listen to a daily mix, you will get AI And you might not know until you google the specific the creators.

The idea was inspired by artists like Pestrica as well as my love for magic shows plus on top of that my need to have a way of interacting with the audience more (which can be quite challenging with certain mental health issues). It feels like the Jester helps a lot lifting those barricades.

If you wanna see them in action, you can find them at Radiance Lounge :3 The jester doesn't speak but if you ask nicely they might show you a magic trick or two 💫 It is all about the whimsy and experiencing childlike wonder again and I am so happy with how the whole concept played out.

Makes a rough draft, sounds good Listen later, sounds bad. Make adjustments and inject energy. It sounds okay. Listen the next morning, sounds good again?? Dealing with music feels like bargaining with the fae I swear

Cmon @vrchat.com please don't let us down. The whole game literally lives by user generated content. *ahem* Let me repeat myself in case it wasn't quite clear USER generated content U-S-E-R i ain't seeing machine anywhere in there

evalka@evalka.bsky.social

hi @vrchat.com your canny looks like this, please at least get around to properly commenting on it. it's been months.

I just got reminded of one of my favorite quotes which is by Florence Foster Jenkins. She was (in)famous for her bad singing and at one point got called "The world's worst opera singer" and she said "People may say I can't sing, but no one can ever say I didn't sing."

As creators, we shelter everyone from AI bullshit, including each other. Keep making things. Please. You inspire people and give them hope whenever you bring anything to life. Let the AI bros rot in their own incompetence. They'll never feel our joy.

Aliquem genuinely makes my timeline better and yall should go follow her She also organises really cool events that unfortunately are out of my timezone often but that just means that YOU should go check them out instead :3

It clicks. True togetherness. No gatekeeping, no barriers, no debts to collect, no transactional tomfoolery. Find the sparks in the dark. Pull them close, nurture them into a light that shines beside you. Guide them toward the infinite, past the smoke and fire.

What an inspiration you have been and still are. I hope one day I can really help make the world a better place just like you have. Rest in peace Dolly and thank you for everything <3 Song: Dolly Parton - Jolene Avatar by Foxipaws, edited by me!

Once again #stageflight set the standard for vr amazing experiences This video has just a few of the amazing sights I saw as a camera operator, & be sure to watch the stream cuts when they drop! Deepest gratitude to all who made it happen, thank you

I don't care whether you use it "jUsT aS a jOkE", the consequences are the same. Just don't. Not using AI is a badge you can and should wear with pride.

jess m. ☕🍂@jametc.bsky.social

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

Stage Flight once again delivering with 3.4, fuck me, don't even know what to say, had such an amazing time, perhaps the best time I've had in VRChat yet, thanks to everyone who put it together.

It's always "I hate A\i" until a trend comes along and all of a sudden everyone thinks it's the funniest thing to slap slop filters over things and share it for social media points, doesn't make it any better if you do it as a joke, still counts as contributing and normalizing it

One of my favorite clips I took at #stageflight ^-^ Still in awe over this event and the people I met there so I am really happy I took a few videos! Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture other avatars on camera because my PC was ready to fry itself but look, colorful lights!

Don't kill yourselves over trying to fit in with the crowd of mediocrity. Radiate yourself so you can outshine all of it and stand out. Nobody has to understand it, and you owe nobody an explanation. Just put your beauty into the world, and let it work it's magic.
