in the bible in revelations i think or somewhere, it warns you that near the end times, false prophets will pop up claiming to be the messiah. do you ever think scholars from like 700 years ago studying the bible would have thought this would be one of them
Reblogging even though itâs way past Halloween bc this is an important reminder!
Stay away from anything with charcoal during this season if you are on ANY medication!!!
DO NOT USE SQUID INK WITHOUT ASKING!
Do yâall hear me?
Iâm not even gonna touch on allergies.
But fine. ALSO?
Do not fucking use ANY kind of seed EVER without asking. Seed allergies are incredibly common.
But hey letâs come back to fucking squid ink. I canât. I just cannot. âOh use squid ink itâs an easy black.â Yeah if youâre a gentile. God itâs the casual antisemitism for me. âOh squid is fine.â
No itâs not.
Not everyone can eat a mollusk without it violating their religious beliefs. If you put that shit in something youâve made it traif.
Ask before you put ANYTHING into ANYONEâS FOOD. Itâs not hard
You want neat black food?
USE FOOD COLORING
they make black food coloring!
itâs odorless and tasteless and ONLY colors the food!
itâs WAY cheaper an option than either activated charcoal OR squid ink!
you only need a TINY amount to make things pitch black!
Also good: black cocoa! Its cocoa powder thatâs been super alkalised to the point where it turns black, and itâs what makes oreos taste like oreos. I got mine online from a baking wholesale shop, you might be able to find it at a specialty baking supply shop or other websites, just search âblack cocoa powder [your city or region]â and youâll probably hit on something.
You donât need that much to turn food black either, itâs vegan, itâs not going to mess with your medication, it wonât stain things you really donât want stained, and it actually tastes nice.
Quick PSA, if you get one of those âWork scanned, AI use detectedâ comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesnât actually resemble AI writing, itâs all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and donât let it get to you.
The spam comments have evolved.
They are now also linking to a site they claim is able to scan works and tell you whether they were AI written or not, and that you should do that before reading a fic.
It should go without saying that you should not, under no circumstances, visit a site advertised in a spam comment.
In this case, Iâd say thereâs even a chance that the âscanningâ site is actually used to scrape fics and use them for future AI writing. What it definitely doesnât do is tell you whether something was AI written or not. Thatâs a bullshit claim.
Donât use that site. Donât believe these spam comments, whether you get them on your own works or see them on someone elseâs.
Itâs all bullshit.
Just got another one, so hereâs what they look like to anyone curious. Theyâre never real users, either, just keysmashes for the display name.
Image Description: a screenshot of an AO3 comment by nlaoboh that says HoloAI pattern found in work. To all readers, before you read please scan the work with an AI detector like gowinston.ai and call out all AI using cheaters /end ID
As someone who works in education, actual AI detectors donât even work well and are rendered obsolete within weeks if not days. Please spread this around to spare your fellow writers and reader!
