My brother and I have intentionally been watching notoriously bad isekai anime and man, you really can tell when they put no thought into world building

It's funny that if you watch enough umamusume vids, youtube gets confused and starts recommending irl horses.

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:

-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs
What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post

One: "abhorrent”

Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Halo co-creator says ICE’s Halo-themed recruitment ad “makes me sick”
Another Halo maker says ad "ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation." ALSO: A developer whose game just launched on Xbox slams Microsoft’s silence

yknow.... with all the white collar, political corruption, and investment scam crimes everywhere all the time, it's kinda refreshing to see a good old fashioned heist in the news

Felt like replaying Dragon quest builders 2 recently and oh do I love a good yin and yang story. Master of Destruction and Avatar of Creation? They're best friends. Good shit 👍

every artist secretly dreams of having a mysterious sponsor who'd send them 1500€ every month, no strings attached, just to cover their most basic needs so that they can draw pretty homoerotic art and uncover their potential

but 9 commissions at the same time also work, i guess
