This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Lucky can detach and go into what I'm lovingly referring to as Critter Mode.
This will not be for combat, but she will have her uses. Since Lucky is the source of Clover's barrier, she will be inactive while Lucky is off.

This is something about "AI" that I have a hard time putting into words, but creators just love the WORK. It's just fun. Even when it's hard. All the thinking, and all the detail work, and all the struggle, it makes the things we make, I don't know... have weight and value for us.
If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

so many cool, inventive and interesting animated projects none of you even knew were being made for the past few years just got shitcanned because of this netflix/wb merger

When you're like "geez there's no animation jobs" "geez there's like no new shows anymore", this is why

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs.

There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

unfortunately, this paragraph of the manifesto is not correct in any way whatsoever.

no existing thing sold as "AI" does this at all. the marketers lie that it does, and then it doesn't.

anyone signing this manifesto, ask them for the software that does this.

When you think about it, Naraku is just the embodiment of capitalism: constantly merging with competitors and engineering conflict because his existence is fundamentally unstable. But all that power can never bury the fact that at his core, he's just a thief.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
