I like that he apparently cheerfully wandered through the horrible platforming death gauntlets Hornet is struggling through.

Just admiring the view.

Chat does she know that a running joke in the Fate route Tiger Dojos is that Miss Fujumura and Student Number 1 eventually notice that all of their advice is really boring "go back and pick the right choice" stuff because Fate route is easy mode?

[LeVi's lights dim] Yuri: ...wait, so is she a maid, or not?

Just imagine Yuri opening the Silver Key to check, and noticing it's filled a little bit, and having to wonder... is that because Stella's a combat maid, or just because they learned Jonas is the ship's captain before...

The fact that the leave the shower room fully naked after this conversation always read to me as a bit of defiance against societal norms, with that context.

The Japanese script is clearer that "non-binary" is a defined, third gender in the sci-fi future.

SQ's confusion at Raqio's "you-know-what" is because getting "panification surgery" is so expected, and Raqio's response implies they don't love that expectation even though they say "eventually".

Basically it's like:

"I dunno, I still feel like using a CC stock photo instead of generating an image would more environmentally friendly, even if it's marginal"
Yeah That Makes Sense

"Level-5 are soulless hacks for doing it this way"
What the fuck are you talking about, that's not a problem.

That's not the kind of stock photos you'd use for photo-bashing.

My point is, literally, ZUN used to use creative commons images to create Touhou backgrounds - the most recent game used GenAI for it.

Your daughter is living the dream of a circa 2010s Nickleodeon/Disney Channel original movie about esports.

[...] probably still exist after the bubble pops, and also the scale of operations will be much lower once the insane speculation drops off, meaning any concerns about water use will also be mitigated.

I find it kinda hard to think of all that as a bad thing?

People act like the AI bubble popping is just gonna, remove all AI at once, when really it's more like the dotcom bubble, right?

A lotta websites that were highly overvalued crashed completely but... we still have websites and web companies.

"Guy using generated image for photo-bashing" will [...]

I find it really hard to care about "Level 5 generated some images of a stadium crowd to use as a background texture for a stadium they drew themselves".

Who's being put out of work here? Without GenAI they'd use a stock photo. Who gives a shit.

Water use on AI generation is hard to track down because if you look at data centers as a whole, how much of a data center is being used exclusively for genAI calls versus like, literally anything else.

Data centers *as a whole* are the problem, but people pretend like AI is the sole cause.

My favorite fucking Tiger Dojo is the one where Saber's magically compelled to kill Shirou and they just, cut to this, with Saber letting out a single tear that dramatically drops...
