Social media companies attempt to detect and remove this type of astroturfing for violating their inauthentic behavior policies, which is why Doublespeed uses a bank of phones to emulate the behavior of real users.

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

I wrote about some one season anime that I recommend. And to make it harder on myself, I only chose series that lasted a technical ONE season, so nothing over thirteen episodes: www.crunchyroll.com/news/feature...

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

it appears that the sub vs dub debate, once thought eternal, will be decided not on the merits of each approach but on the sinister whim of capital…
…is what i wrote before i remembered that they’ve been trying to do this to subs for even longer. i’m so tired of this garbage infecting everything…

why do we all pronounce blastoise “blas-toyz” when clearly it is a hybridization of “blast” and “tortoise”
i know, i know, “blas-tiss” just kind of sounds like shit. but a portmanteau whose origin is lost is hardly a portmanteau at all…it’s about the principle! blastiss
