Now I’m kicking myself for not buying a piece of the original mall. They sold chunks of it at The Living Dead Museum.

1) AI has been proven to be sycophantic, telling people what they want to hear

2) AI has shown that it will go down with the ship defending an incorrect solution to a problem

3) I can’t think of a single educator worth their salt condoning AI putting words in their mouth

There's a surprisingly large amount of maps for Postal 2 made by Japanese people and this one allows us to go to Tower Records in 2004.

The majority of my grad work was right up to the deadline, while teaching a full course load, getting on average 3 hours of sleep. My capstone was kept for exemplary work.

Gee pee tee ain’t got shit on me.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

I’m not kidding. Umezz is a deft hand at stunts like this. SUSPENSION of disbelief? Dude surgically excises your disbelief in the opening chapters.

I will gas his work up online so long as I have thumbs and a capacity for coherent thought.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Like Trump, Israel has one solution to every problem, which is to escalate, even in cases — such as arresting and abusing the most famous activist in the world — where it's transparently obvious doing so is fucking stupid

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 4d

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

Home Haunt might be my favorite of the bunch. It was the right mix of horror, splatter, and a hint of cornball.

The Kid Print one was really solid. Ending went a little too long, but it was a nice change of pace from the previous segment.

Second was better. Simple and nailed the execution. Splicing two videos together felt like a cheat at times, but the dude made [rec] and that gets good will from me.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.
