Panel 1: Shen is talking to Hatsune Miku in her standard grey, teal, and black outfit. They look happily at each other. Shen has his hands in the front pouch of his sweatshirt. Shen: "are you the REAL MIKU??" Miku: "Yeah!" Shen: "Prove it." Panel 2: Miku begins singing Anamanaguchi's "Miku", going "miku miku oo-ee-oo" and spinning her classic leek in her left hand. Shen looks on contently. Panel 3: Shen is talking to Kasane Teto, who is wearing a mustard-yellow t-shirt with a baguette graphic and baguette style lines on the shoulders, and sweatpants. They look happily at each other. Shen: "Are you the REAL TETO??" Teto: "Yeah!" Shen: "Prove it." Panel 4: Teto keels over a bit, shaking and crying hard, screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA". Shen looks on contently.

It'd mean taking a hit to the metrics, but it looks like there's a way to force Twitch not to implement this trash on your channel:

Make your VODs private or subscriber only.

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ Patrick Gelsinger, executive chairman of Gloo, has made it his mission to advance Christian principles in Silicon Valley

Seeing people like the ex Intel CEO lose their minds so thoroughly around AI has made me skeptical of any positive feelings I’ve ever had about their companies

four panel cartoon comic of an owner talking to their gray tabby cat. the owner is holding a cut onion. the cat says "give". the second panel, the owner says "this is an onion, it's very smelly". in the third panel, the cat stretches to sniff it. in the last panel, the cat looks like their entire head retreated into its body, making it look very silly.

A screenshot of a twitter post by @foone on October 26th, 2017. She posts "PQ2 death generator is live! make ol' Jim Walls say whatever you want." with a link to the site, and an included image: It's the death dialogbox from the Sierra adventure game Police Quest 2. It shows Jim Walls, a retired police officer, as a portrait on the left. The titlebar says "Jim shakes his head and says..." and there's "Restore", "Restart", "Quit" buttons. The text has been edited to read: "YOU CAN MAKE ME SAY THINGS ANYTHING YOU WANT i miss sierra games :("

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.

Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later!

Screenshot of text: unfuck google drive by shooting gemini Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again! Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

Remembering when Vanquish got dinged for being "very Japanese," a comment that had no other elucidation and was written as a self-evident negative.

That generation was wild with how ethnocentric shit got.

For the fellow Android users, it's very conveniently hidden in the app so go to your drive on a browser and view in Desktop Mode if you're not able to do it via PC 💜

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, ChatGPT is clearly a danger to civilization.
