Regarding the McD's AI ad, especially the production company defending it, if you had to work that much harder for something that looks that bad, either the technology is unpredictable to the point of impractical or you're simply incompetent. Which is it?

I'm seriously considering giving up on DeviantART. It's become overrun with AIBros. I don't plan on deleting my account, but it may become dormant on the uploads.

My take on the Netflix acquisition of WBD is that if it means David Zaslav gets less of a say in what stays on (or off) the platform, I'm optimistic.
No more lost media. No more scrapping mostly or fully completed projects.
More content means more viewers.

I don't care that Apple is behind the curve on AI. If anything, I love them for it. 2 of my 3 devices have it, and it's disabled on both of them.

An AI user on DeviantART asked me if I made all the art in my gallery. I told him I didn't use AI if that's what he meant. Never responded to that.

My roommate had her first Chemo session today. She'll have a pump for the next 48 hours. After that, she'll have weekly visits for bloodwork and bi-weekly chemo sessions.

This is one of those situations where I think I know the answer, but I want to hear it out loud and in public from the person dancing around it. That way, there's no confusion about what's to be expected and how it's to be carried out.

I am completely indifferent to the Legend of Zelda movie. Seeing those images of the leads made me feel absolutely nothing. Maybe decades of cosplayers have desensitized me.
Get an anime studio like Ghibli or Ponoc or Gonzo or TMS involved and then maybe I'd be interested.

Ever since she began speaking on Palestine, Greta has been told she's "changed", that she's left climate justice behind. But Israel hasn't just committed genocide on the people of Palestine but ecocide on their land, and Greta is making the link. Check out my latest deep dive: youtu.be/fExmlN2o10o
