Mega Man X. No, seriously.
Any game settings where apparently benign artificial intelligence replaces human labour only to turn malevolent somehow?

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

WINTER’S GLOW (2012)
Acrylic on Yupo Paper - 12” x 12”
I wasn’t feeling in the holiday spirit, and as usual it took a painting to get me into the mood of the season.
Don Maitz first recommended “Yupo paper” to me, and I was pleased with how the sheet he lent me handled acrylics. 1/13

This can be a difficult and nuanced discussion, especially for people that are out of the tech loop. I try to break it down as
AI = shit you've been using for over a decade. Predictive text. NPC enemy AI. Specialized machine learning.
GenAI = shit built on stolen/scraped assets from the Internet

If we’re going to get really no quarter about genAI usage, I’m going to need people to learn the difference between AI and genAI real fast.

i still haven't played cyberpunk 2077 because of those workplace abuses. feels like that trigger anime laundered its reputation a lot.
“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”
For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.
You dipshit.

Ten thousand fucking percent.
Like, I get it. I get that you're despairing. Shit is rough. But skeeting "we're so fucked" ten times a day accomplishes nothing, alleviates nothing, and contributes to learned helplessness.
In all seriousness, if you feel that welling up? Log off. You need a break.

Most of all, drop that "we're fucked" mindset. Time to leave that doomerism bullshit behind and focus on doing good.
I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious
