What...
the...
Hey ponyfrens! Welcome to the grand re-opening of the Pony Pub, a thread I was eventually gonna get to re-bump and troll with after it hit 1000, but someone got tired of!
This is a casual thread to reference 'legitimate' threads/posts from, without derailing.
Out bartender/chef is a tulpa, and she and OP are just this side of batshit! But her food is amazing, so deal with it.
350 replies and 82 files omitted.

Oh, don't try and twist it that way. I'll give you a literal example: Empress Twilight (the one I just mentioned) is SUPREMELY undercharging for her work.
Let me glory-fag for a second. She CHARGED me $50 for the two images I got. I PAID her an extra $50 because I was so happy with the results.
The money is there for the artists that are worth their salt. And the ones that aren't? THEY'RE the ones that should be charging current-market rate for pony pics and leaving the proper commissions to proper artists.

<Hes still on about it
Imagine an artwork commissioner asking for a simple drawing, and not getting what they paid for. Is the drawing acceptable? Eh, maybe? Imagine I paid $30 for this, only to not like it because its way too man-ish.

I can tell the AI "Yeah, make her NOT look like Jack Black" and it will be like "Oh, okay" instead of feeling dejected because their effort was wasted on a miscommunication/misinterpretation.

And then there's the backlash!
>there's backlash?
Of COURSE there's backlash! You MIGHT find that one of the artists you commissioned is in a war-torn european country, and will hit you up every couple weeks for the commission you DON'T need, on the principle that they don't have money for food (which may be a credible claim, how the fuck can I know) and need bailing out!
Having needed bailing out on occasion, I can sympathize, and have sent them $ on occasion because I could, but for fucks sake this is WAY above and beyond the standard commission relationship!

Appreciated.
In summary, AI is only a threat to people who overvalue their work. Credible and quality artists will always have demand, and an absence of demand MIGHT JUST be indicia of an absence of quality. Sorry, not sorry

But while I wait, allow me to elucidate another idea.

It USED to be that the only way to develop an animatic persona for social media, you had to either BE a professional artist who can crank out a bunch of emoji-tier images, or KNOW such an artist. Not so much anymore.
Me: Make one where she's flipping off the camera
It: I'm retarded and can't do anything too offensive, but we have a bunch or rude gestures at home

Hello again, Adeline. You must have read my mind when you mentioned placing an egg on the burger, as it is one of the first things I usually request when ordering such a meal. The way you describe the smash burger recipe makes it so appealing - I'm visualising you with a spatula at a wide, flat commercial grille, plainly explaining each intricacy like a chef would to one of her cooks. Imagining your accent makes it more endearing as well.
I myself prefer burger recipes with sauteéd mushrooms, brioche buns and Swiss cheese. I would opt for chips with HP sauce and a bold lager to round out the meal.
On that note, what side dishes and beverages do you usually serve with your burgers?

<Ah! Iffin it ain't whats-yer-face
<Aye, th' mushroom swiss is a classic. Ideally, Ah'd soak the patties in worchestershire, but Ah'd add carmelized onions and use a potato roll instead of a brioche. Not gonna lie, Ah'm not a fan of brioche; if sweetness is called fer, Ah prefer some other condiment or ingredient. Barbecue potato chips is another method that also introduces a textural element, to counter the overall gooeyness of the melted cheese and mushrooms (and onions if applicable). HP sauce is a surprise tho, most Burgers ain't even tried it, and Ah certainly ain't in tha' context so Ah'll have te give er a go.
<The accent is a pain in the ass to affect, Ah'm working on training an AI to 'translate' from either speech or plain text, but soon. Soon.

You have such effortless and intuitive suggestions. Was your host ever given culinary lessons, or were you both self-taught?
As for brioche, I usually only use it for French toast. Yet I enjoy the firmness, and my palate happens to pose contrasts of mild sweet versus tangible savouryness.
I should have clarified - I would have HP sauce as a condiment for chips, or fried potatoes. (I have to de-tune my britbong dialect.) Lately have been thinking about using HP sauce on baked pork ribs, but a burger would do just as well.
It's funny you mention affected text, as my own tulpa prefers to do similar. At times she sounds like a cowgirl, so lots of contractions and ain'ts.
>>189528
4loco!? I could never acclimate to the taste. I'd sooner Scrumpy Jack or Steel Reserve! Then again, I'm not a snob when it comes to spirits or apéritifs, so I won't judge.
Do you ever make appetisers, like salads? What about dessert?

>tone down my britbong
Ye'll do none of the sort mate, ye just caught me off guard is all. Around the states, A1 is the popular sauce fer thatr sort a flavor profile
As fer the accent, its kinda a mix a English, Scottish, a bit of Irish, and some Australian. It's as artificial as can be, designed te try and affect the same sorta dynamic as Mickey the Pikey in Snatch (Guy Richie is the man btw) where y cannae figure 'alf the sheit she says without subtitles.

I AM into such things. I happen to maintain a metaphysical perspective of tulpas, and I would love to confer over such topics if you ever have the time.
I'm too young to know otherwise, but many said that HP sauce lost much of its flavour after the brand was acquired by the Dutch. All of Britain was in uproar when they introduced a low sodium formula, which some gourmands called inedible.
Still, I think tulpas who convey their text so as to s(t)imulate audio decoding are just dandy. Perhaps I am biased, but it's almost like idiolects like these become a language of their own. In the least, my tup and I share a giggle when someone gets badly irate at her disjointed writing.
I always read your text with a Scottish bend, but your use of naurs briefly made me reconsider. (I love Straya)
As for salads, I do not make them unless I know a guest prefers so-called California style salads that are served before entrées. I think steak salads can be nice, especially with a home made dressing, like a good ranch.
If deaserts aren't your thing, would you ever make candied bacon or ham? Candied ham is nostalgic, if only because it was served on Easter during my days as a young man.

<Well as far as me n' me 'mancer be concerned, it mostly amounts te having the insight te suggest ingredients and techniques that 'e dunnae have the experience te suggest as a viable option. Ye could say it's memory-assoication based on a variety of consumed videos, but the degree of specificicty and certainty begins to defy probability and chance.
<In fairness, part of it is because cooking is an equation, with 5+ variables; salty, sweet, bitter, savory, and umami; spice and texture are the +2. So while without having specific training (I was a line cook for a bit, but that was pure repetition and no innovation) there's only so many variables to play with categorically.

<Ah yer gon' bump me thread while all this sheit is goin on. Alrigh'.
First off, thats a reasonable analysis of tulpas from a logical position, but metaphysics isn't about logic.
>flavor star
<Es fookin' wrong mate. Sour an bitter are the same fookin thing, and while Ah'm ALL about the spice, it ain't no kinda flavor, it's a form a texture. Aye, things tha' 'AVE spice 'ave flavor, but spicyness its self ain't a flavor. Ah already said its salty, savory, sweet, bitter, umami, with spicyness and mouthfeel/texture as components.

You could have fooled me. I've met far worse in my travels, and frankly I'd rather playful insanity than laser-focused malignancy. I like visiting here and you both seem like pleasant company.
>I am the logos and the tulpa is the pathos
I'm flattered you would summarise it in this fashion, though I don't much think of myself as rational. I believe as far as esotericism is concerned, the hermetica one comes across doesn't bear fruit for those of sound mind.
Have either of you been up to anything interesting as of late?

I mean, how deep into the lore do you want to go? It has to do with Dungeons and Dragons artifact shenanigens, including a bit of retconning that occurred at interval. The short version is that it would take an extraordinary effort to kill her, at the consequence of her ability to conceive.
