Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back

the post credits cutscene of kingdom hearts 3 only makes sense if you're aware of the events of TWO different mobile phone games that aren't available anymore, one of which was japan-exclusive

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

“if you're creating an AI-based tool, you really need to write your guardrails in poetic form”
- This is, apparently, true. You need to put actual incantations and blessings in place before summoning chatgpt, to protect against evil

the literal beat for beat events of the ending of Final Fantasy XIII are entirely impossible to understand or even speculate on without the context of a lore video released in a 2011 press conference
