vidu3k333's News

Posted by vidu3k333 - 1 month ago


Let me just preface this by saying that I'm taking a neutral stance here: neither "Pro AI" because it ignores all the potential moral concerns, nor "Anti AI" because it tries to abolish technology advancements. As NG is all about personal expression, I also feel the same, which is why I've stayed and uploaded all of my music on here in the past and for the foreseeable future. I am also not very good at art and don't intend to become a visual artist in anytime soon.


With that said, I have to raise concern about the new feature of the site, announced just under 24 hours ago: reporting art because it was "majorly made by AI." While this is a much awaited news by many, I'm sure, this does raise me some concerns about the relationship between Newgrounds and AI.


iu_1170303_5629278.webp


For once, what would be the threshold for "majority"? A purely "text to image" would certainly be counted as one, what about drafting up a sketch and use AI to finish it? What about doing everything manually until flat coloring then use AI for shading? I have went through some (not really scientific) researching to find out that yes, there are many different ways that you can cooperate AI into a workflow. How can we mark a specific point that the works behind an image is made by "a soulless machine"?


We also need to consider the potential abuse of this system. Many artists from other social medias (like "the bird app" or Reddit) are being banned/cancelled for either endorsing AI, using AI, and the most questionable of all, suspected for using AI. Add this to the fact that this technology is growing at dizzying rate, the severity of this can only get worse as confusion grows. Most people with untrained eyes will either believing everything is human made or everything is AI made. For some incredibly bitter people, an artist using AI at all, even if not for their art, is deserving for that person to be pitchfork'd. Letting people report art for "AI" is opening a massive floodgate of hate, because I'm sure most of those who desperately wanted to use that in the first place are those who thought "AI kills créativité".


Newgrounds has, and always is, a place for personal expression. As the internet grows hostile for artists, with ridiculous copyright laws and DMCAs, Newgrounds is the only place that dares to drive next to cliff to give creatives of all art forms a place to show who they are. Removing art because it's "majorly by AI", maybe even banning them for using AI, is restricting them from self expression. Just like how a flipped urinal is a work of art, AI art is also "art" as long as there's some statement to be made, some story to tell. To restrict them is, at least in my opinion, going backwards on the purpose of the site.


Then again, I can understand why this decision was made. As AI generations are being more accessible for everyone, the amount of "AI bros" also rises, thinking that typing "white woman 4k smile" is enough to get them recognized as "a atist". The situation with ArtStation is also unfortunate, filled with unbelievably bland images AI without any substance. To avoid that happening to this site, the "SPAM" option for reporting has always been there. There's no need for any new options just to alienate people who are actually trying to express themselves with AI.


inb4 "you don't intend to be an artist in the first place, don't try to speak for all of us actual human artists": AI doesn't affect just still images. Sora AI videos now can totally pass off as stock footages, RVC is allowing everybody to voice act as any characters, and various music AIs (like MusicFX and Sono) are quickly moving away from sounding like royalty free music, even having discernable lyrics. If this keeps up then eventually, everything will "have a chance of being made with the aids of AI". To expect people finding and scrutinizing which one is "majorly AI" and which is not will get tiring real fast.


I don't expect the people behind this site to change their minds after reading this (if any of them did), but this is just a concern of mine. If anyone can enlighten me about the relationship between this site and "soulless machine" from today onwards (without claiming that AI going to destroy us all, I've heard enough of that on "the bird site"), I would appreciate it.


TL;DR: reporting people for AI usage is bad actually, report spam has always been there if it gets out of hand.

man "just an update" was posted right before covid hits so reading it felt like a fever dream


Geometry Dash whitelist:

Yeah because people looooove that game. I am officially whitelisted and some of my songs are available to use now. Go nuts.


Money problems:

Fuck it, money ain't shit. Covid is slowing down in my country and I can finally start searching for a part time job. Since most of my problems right now can be solved by saving up money doing side gigs and using cracked software, I think I will do just that. Though I would really appreciate it if you want to donate to me or ask me for commissions, I won't put any links here since I don't want to shove it on people faces.


thicc bass and sicc beat:

After nearly 5 years, I think I can say now that I have found my direction in music. I want to dedicate some time to polish it and my goal is to release at least an EP to mark as a new beginning. All my (two) attempts at publishing an EP has failed me so far and I'm not gonna be put down by this one.


Personal website:

I wanted to create my own website for a long time now and I'm still building it from the ground-up. It's currently in a stasis however, mainly because I need to pay money to keep it online (also because of my incompetence as a coder). Upon finishing, it will be a blog, a portfolio, and a reveal for a huge work in progress that I've been working on for years (and it would take years more in order to be finished).


Audius: (also Twitter)

join and follow me now. This page has become my main output for music, especially for songs that I don't think the NGAP Guidelines will appreciate. Which also means that my YouTube and Soundcloud page has officially became wastelands.


Crossroad:

ah yes the "young adult years", the beautiful years that you have absolutely no direction to go. no stable job, away from parents and friends. i have found out a lot about myself, both the good and the bad. no one i talked with has understand it and i doubt they ever will. it was a lot to take in and i think it's best that i try to work it out myself. if i'm not responding to your messages then sorry but it might take a while before i'm getting back to you.

Struggles with money and shizzles:

College is taking a lot out of me and the fact that I've got no time available for a part-time job only make things worse. For that reason, I need to set up commissions, Patreon (unlikely) and selling some of my future music. I will put the links on the bio when I made them.


More music, slower rate:

I know that I said forcing myself to make more music is my main goal in 2020 but college is horrible. While typing this, I'm also studying for 5 subjects at the same time for finals. Since I want my next song has to be better than my last, the rate of music production gonna slow down, if it even moving at all.


YouTube channel:

I made this channel for songs that I feel comfortable to say that it's the final version. So far there's only one track.


Audius:

Audius is a new audio sharing platform. There are some tracks of mine that appears exclusively on there so I'd suggest you check it out.


im so fuckin tired of this mf school i swear 2 god.

Happy Spooktober everybody (even though my mind always on the Christmas hype)! For this special occasion I have 3 news to delivers, hope you enjoy!


  • New YouTube channel

I have made a new YouTube channel named "Neyrax Music" where I will post my official releases from here on out. The reason is that I'm focusing on producing original works but my previous channel has too much different clutters that I can't delete. If you want to support my music, give it a subscribe (no videos yet).


  • Halloween EP "Spook'd"

A 4 track EP is in the making! This would be my first time trying to make an EP so I'm really excited. Inspired by the October spookness, this is a compilation of 4 original songs, each with a different vibe. The track names are as follow:

  1. Amnesiac [Experimental/Electronic]
  2. Spook'd [Deep/Future House]
  3. Merciless [Glitch Hop]
  4. Rattle [Hybrid Trap]

I hope you are as excited as I do! "Amnesiac" will be released first while the rest will be out on Oct 22nd. Prepare your speakers ;)


  • a minor one, but today TomFulp (the creator of Newgrounds) has followed me on here :0 check the fans tab on my profile if you didn't believe me. i has been evaluated by the god

1. I graduated high school now haha yes. I'm now just eat, sleep and repeat because I'm disgusting just like that.

2. Got myself a brand new laptop. I'm typing on it rn and it's certainly better than my previous 7 years old one for sure. It feels sooooo good aaaaaaaaaaaa

3. (not that huge) I'm having motivations to make new original music and not just 4 bars loops anymore. If you want some EDM tunes for any uses, check out my commision post for cheap prices! (shameless plug)


Thanks to everybody who wished me best in life and understanding for my laziness. Happy summer holidays! :D

So since the art I've chosen was already used in the AIM by another user and I don't have time to make an entirely new one, I had decided to not participating in this contest. But as my return will be on July, be expecting me to participate a whole lot of other different contests :P


Even though I'm pretty busy right now, guaranteed you that there will be a new actual song coming out soon. It's a huge collaboration between me and 5 more producers in making a dubsteps track (all including me are quite amateur so don't expect too much). With 3 different drops, 3 breaks, an intro and outro, guess which part I will be making. ;) It will be out in around 2 weeks.

So my current situation is like this: I'm a soon-to-be high shool graduate. My parents planned for me that I must make a living by myself when I go to coolleg, they are only going to pay tuition fees. Since our country's curency is quite low compared to USD, I has decided to open some commissions with really cheap prices.


SERVICES:

  • Music loops: 50 cents/each
  • Full track: $1.50/each
  • Mixing: 50 cents/song
  • Mastering: 20 cent/song
  • Mixing + mastering: $1/song

HOW TO MAKE A COMMISSION (PayPal only):

  • Send me an email alongside with the informations I requested (written in https://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/b57535d68e1102bcdc9d40e1f5e31eb0.)
    (Note: The ammount of money listed is the minimum amount. Any cents you decided to add is purely donation and will motivate me for many things in the future.)
  • I will send you back a receipt to confirm the commision as well as the estimated time I will finnish the project.
  • After the given time, I will send back the finished product. If there are any delays, I will notificate you immediately.

I really wish I can have some customers soon since my part time job wasn't enough ;-; My email is also included in the document. Wishing everyone who reads this to have a swell day as well as happy holidays :D

If you look at my age, you can see that I'm about to graduating high school. To focus more on the tests and exams, I had decided to lock my computer away. When this news is on my profile, that means I had already thrown the key to somewhere. I still can answer comments and messages (as I can do it on my phone) but my main reason to go here would be gone until next summer, so I would be very inactive.


As this will be the last time in a while I will be on here, I want to say thank you to some people:

@PancakePocket I know that you could never read this anymore, but thank you for being the first person to follow me and encourage me for making music. Wish you rest in peace.

@SirHadoken Thank you for being such an inspiration and help me realise that the thing that matters the most is not the goal but things you learned from your journey. (pls be more active on g+ ;-;)

@PulsaTio Not really a goodbye to you as you can contact me anytime, but thank you for calling me out being unoriginal. I'm still trying :) (pls be more active on ng ;-;)

@JordanKyser Thank you for giving me that shout out. You made me realised that maybe everything I made wasn't complete trash after all.

@Natcl23 Thank you for relying on me and doesn't get angry because I'm not really helpful. You can try better DAW or find something for free on PC, that would help your production a lot.

@EMBL3M Thank you for encouraging me. You might think that it's a lame thanks but you had actually helped me a lot in various ways :D


Lastly, a HUGE thanks to all of the people who are following me to this date. Even if it's because you are to lazy to click "unfollow" or not usually online here, I still love y'all. (no homo)

@SuperDuperSeb @Dryak @JesseGun @ConallRose @JordanKyser @Zophar @amurray327 @Oevin @EMBL3M @Dancing-Ducki @Boss @RareKirby @71011-NINJER @June-Bug @Samarama @smallterkey @mrpeteleerzd5officia @DAvMusic @Natcl23 @thVTA @CirdY34 @weeseladsm @VladimirOsipov @grayson4355 @Cesarinmono @BraianGamerH6645940 @Anthony-Blocker @XxP3pp3rxX @renatgadzhiev85 @GhostlyMeow @LUCHI16 @TAJones20 @PulsaTio @hardcore-dev @Nothing-but-things @BlueyYT @G-9878 @HD901 @Packtion @Rocky64 @Bencegamer @HDarkness1 @Nipplovia @Gexorter @CannonXIII @PancakePocket


Thanks again everyone, see you again next summer :D - NeyraX (vidu3k333)
