On the one hand, this is cowardly behavior

However I have serious doubts Ubisoft would have actually made this a good game

You think when this show ends suddenly we’ll enter an economic renaissance as we’re no longer spending money on a show that only releases like 8 episodes every 2 years

It's amazing how they're completely overestimating any public sympathy for this "AI" shit.

Like they did for NFTs.

And crypto.

And the metaverse.

And rich people.

If you're still working at the Post or the Times and think you can just keep your head down and do some good from "the inside," I'm astonished that I have to inform you that you're naive as all fuck.

Insurance companies of any kind are not big on paying to bail out your crime, because they're usually too busy committing their own crimes.

OpenAI and Anthropic “have traditional business insurance coverage in place, but insurance professionals said AI model providers will struggle to secure protection for the full scale of damages they may need to pay out in the future.”

Don’t listen to anyone who minimizes the threat of a government that “only” wants to tighten the authoritarian surveillance noose for “some” people. THATS ALWAYS HOW IT BEGINS YOU FASCISM ENABLERS.

On social media and their website, the Liberal Democrats have claimed “Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID”.

But this isn’t the case, and we can’t find any evidence the Prime Minister said it was.

🟣Adventure time has some of my favorite "ancient" and other worldly characters,

Hell it has my top 3 favorite incarnation of death

Death following behind a dying simon (temp cured ice king) and betty telling simon to accept death, otherwise he's forever doomed as the ice king

🟠seriously Adventure Time has hands down one of the BEST versions of "The Sleeper Awakens" ever done and part of this is Alan Oppenheimer is a great VA but also he was recording this in his 80s so it sounds super gravely and ancient in the best way

Darci Meadows, Published Author @saintwalker98.bsky.social · 17h

🟠the only thing I've heard that comes even close to it in cadence & performance is the great Alan Oppenheimer (original Skeletor) as Darren the Ancient Sleeper on Adventure Time
