Looks incredible, love the details, it's going to look amazing when it all comes together I bet!!! What's the artistic inspiration, with the scales and other details, East Asian influence or something else?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Halo remake has again failed to actually capture any of what made the original game so memorable...

Unreal engine slop.

You know, I thought I found the general execution of this game a little bland and boring, guess now I know why...

If studios use AI it means that they don't value creativity (at least management certainly doesn't) and that'll start eating into other aspects of design and development. A shame really

Beyond disappointed to learn that Arc Raiders, like The Finals before it, uses AI voice acting.

So many iconic game voice work is little vendor greetings, and to farm that out to a machine is a hollow admission of a lack of care.

I know a thousand actors who would have done better for buttons.

I don't know if I've made this joke backwards. Ah well.

Dams are massive wastes of money and resources, and environmentally destructive to boot but so is bailing out banks, oil barons, or farming corps so who's to say what's bad?

And it's killing all of us, but most especially non-white, non-cishetero, and disabled peoples first.

TranscendKira @transcendkaia.bsky.social · 15d

In fact, so much of western knowledge is so beholden to eugenics, it's insane. We as white people do not seem to want to shake it, because it would threaten to expose just how cruel and vile we have been to the world. So we retain it in our scientific biases, our politics, our 'common sense'.

Biological sciences without social sciences (or non-western knowledge systems) always falls back to eugenics...

It's a bias and a retreat they just can't seem to escape from, doubly so for the media outlets that report on them.

Lately my body and my mind have just been, real awful...

I'm struggling to do anything at all and I'm very scared of what this might mean for my future health too.

Listening to a meme version of Roxanne: "I don't believe I've listened to a good quality version of this with audible bass, this slaps!!

Listening to Roxanne by the Police (unmemed):
"Oh... These lyrics suck ass, actually..."

I really need to get my bass back to playing order... Also more prog, apparently!

From what I know of American religious politics, don't some evangelicals hate Mormons? Seems like the most likely cause for such an attack...

Reacting with misinformation suggests that 'if only they got the right guy this wouldn't be a problem', but it absolutely would be. Combat everything they do directly, protest the unfair and tiered systems treatment the minorities are subject to, rebuke everything they stand for. Don't just deflect.

Ice are most certainly unfairly targeting him but to look at two pictures and say they got the wrong guy because you don't understand how cameras work really doesn't help the poor man's case.

No one deserves to be treated this way, and certainly not even over a firearm posession charge in the USA..

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

And people online 'flippantly' describing Tylenol as perfectly safe unless laced with cyanide, just to rebuke the idea that it doesn't cause autism and isn't relatively (and only) safe pain management option for pregnant people does not actually help prevent misuse...
It's still misinformation.

TranscendKira @transcendkaia.bsky.social · Sep 25

Still no more helpful than calling me a pedant for not trying to downplay the risks actually associated with Tylenol use. Are all the people who die each year from overuse just stupid then, unlike you? There's a big difference between corporate liability text and implied messaging in marketing.

TranscendKira @transcendkaia.bsky.social · Sep 25

Tylenol kills hundreds of people a year from liver failure and overdose, it's actually quite harmful when under the assumption that it's safe for daily use, which the companies that sell it have been quite successful at promoting.
It is still the only pain medication safe for pregnant people to use.

If Christian Nationalists really start believing this, and I wouldn't be surprised, Trump and his cronies are going to be in a very dangerous position right now...
