RPG player, I occasionally draw, former Pentex exec before getting blowed up. About a year in, and this place is starting to feel pretty good. I tend to mostly repost art I like.

Tech oligarchs have been scrambling for products to retain dominance since the plateau of the home computer and mobile phone. Today, they're forcing 'AI' garbage on us while pushing for mass surveillance and war products, even if they have to make the wars to service them. We can reject this future.

This is the truest thing anyone ever wrote about Japan

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Generally though, the TV here is surprisingly dull. The vast majority of programmes consist of several seriously overexcited people sitting in an overlit studio decorated like a novelty grotto made from regurgitated Dolly Mixture, endlessly babbling about food. Seriously, it's all food, food, food. People eating food, answering questions about food, sometimes even just pointing at food and laughing. It's as they've only just discovered food and are perpetually astonished by its very existence. Imagine watching an endless episode of The One Show with the colour and brightness turned up to 11, where all the guests have been given amphetamines, the screen is peppered with random subtitles, and every 10 seconds it cuts to a close-up shot of a bowl of noodles for no apparent reason. That's 90% of Japanese TV right there. For a nation so preposterously hi-tech, it's a curiously old-fashioned approach to television. People talking in studios. Forever. Like it's the 50s. And yet it's insanely agitated: as though the participants are simply too wired to make a proper TV show, and have subsequently just switched the cameras on and started yelping. The adverts continue this vaguely old-school theme. There are plenty of super-sophisticated ones starring giant CGI cats and the like, but there's also a rather charming emphasis on dancing: people unpretentiously dancing and singing about the product on offer (generally a foodstuff, which presumably explains their terrifying level of excitement). It makes the Go Compare tenor seem subtle. Sedate, even.

OPINION: New World is easily our most underrated anthology and you should buy it.

**40% OFF** through Cyber Monday, gang! That means the ebook edition is just $9.00 USD!

#Nekovember day 29: Magical Girl!

I don't watch much magical girl stuff, just never been my thing, but I wanted to try drawing a MG that stays true to basic MG outfit design but with my own flavor. I like heavy metal, so I tried incorporating that in the elements that make up a MG outfit.

Designed a pair of hand-sized handmaidens for @wonderwaffle93.bsky.social 's Mancy.

Tella (right) is a prankster who loves scaring guests. Stricta (left) is polite and kind except to those who defy "Our Lady Grace's" whims. Those who disobey Mancy are crushed by Stricta's hefty tail.

I think the real question it raises is how useful CEOs truly are
carnage4life.bsky.social Dare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 2d
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

My team has had at least one instance this year of my Project Manager showing us an email chain from a vendor's engineering manager, frustrated because it seemed like he couldnt get a straight answer. After reviewing, we were pretty sure most of the responses were AI generated.

It also raises further questions about how ethical, good, and useful the work of extremely well-paid executives is.

Tumblr post from wongbal Hello and welcome to Deep Space Nine. We are a space station, not a starship, so you be spending a lot of time with all these delightful side characters like: bisexual fashion lizard. hologram of Frank Sinatra. goblins. goblin comes in 3 varieties: bartender, nephew, and idiot, our doctor is a twink, our commander is antifa and the captain talks to the gods sometimes. our policeman is sometimes a liquid and the science lady is part worm. we have many fine storylines, such as: Goblin Does A Crime, Watch The Irishman Suffer, or The Horrors Of War. As you stroll along our promenade enjoying a raktajino or delicious jumja stick, watch out for our nefarious villains: Pope Karen. clones of Jeffrey Combs. and a horny bastard reptile man who seems convinced this is actually his show. we suspect he may be possessed by demons. Have fun! Deep Space Nine: now with Worf™!
