Intro post? Okay.

I'm Rob! I've been on a Transformers podcast for 15 years and have been YouTubing for 11 or 12 I think. I mostly cover Gundam games these days, especially #GBO2, and love robot toys and models as well as action figures in general. I'm cranky when people get hurt for fun & profit.

the last Rush Hour movie came out in 2007 and had a significantly lower box office than 2, and now you're reviving it 20 years later as a personal vanity project of the unpopular President?

just one more data point for "David Ellison is going to run Paramount right into the fucking ground"
Rush Hour 4 is reportedly a go at Paramount – after Trump intervened on behalf of the movie.

Brett Ratner, accused of sexual misconduct by several women, will bring the franchise back to the big screen

So DHL just charged me $24 Duty fees on a $50 order, $17 of which is a "duty processing fee."

So I've written them and asked for more information, such as why the processing fee is three times the listed duties. Because that feels... fraudulent? Yeah, I'm gonna fucking say it feels fraudulent.

I repeat, RFK Jr doesn’t have to say “I’m banning vaccines” to effectively ban vaccines. Exhibit umpteen hundred and sixteen (this happened the same day they appointed the anti-vaxxing snake-oil salesman above as deputy CDC head):
The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

No you don't understand, if the markov++ generator ingests enough content it will be come Perfect Ce—I mean AGI. The problem is it just hasn't eaten the androids yet!

I'm wondering if they literally think it works like black holes because of the shared term "singularity."

it’s always hilarious to see capitalists complaining about where people choose to spend their money instead of simply adapting to those choices

Was working on this a while back but the wash I used had gone bad and only dried with a gloss finish. Tried again with a more stable mix.

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.

even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.

they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

I have several very smart friends I don't think realize that the AI being used and sold on a daily basis is just a sophisticated randomizer and the AI that is being evangelized by the salesmen pushing that largely useless product not only does not exist but has no real connection to that randomizer.

This is like when Disney told someone they weren't liable for their partner's death because they'd signed the Disney Plus subscription agreement.
OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

"You've made a world where nobody can afford water, electricity, or shelter."

"AI will fix that eventually!"

"Guillotines will fix that NOW."
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Still waiting for the protests to erupt around Schumer, Durbin, Fetterman, etc's offices for collaborating with Republicans to kill the AMA. Expect I will be for a long fucking time too.
