An ad for 'Novel November' by ProWritingAid. Text reads "50,000 words, 30 days, 1 novel Introducing Novel November—the only writing challenge that takes you from blank page to first draft in one month for free." Purple monkey dishwasher.

I have never seen a more bold 'dance on your grave' moment. Nanwrimo died defending ProWritingAid's use of AI (among other things), and they turn around and do this?

I'm actually impressed at how audacious this is.

My body is a temple, but there are 3 switches which control the water level on 3 different floors and you can get soft-locked if you mess it up.

Imagining Jack Frost, Pikachu, and Agumon having a conversation

Image of a tweet from the official Mega Man account saying the exact stupid thing I praised the official announcement for avoiding. Mega Man: "Guess our works are going to close! Why does that sound so familiar?" Fucking boo!

Oh goddamnit.

I appreciate the restraint it took to not have the MegaMan Crossworlds trailer not to make a joke like "Watch as these two's 'Worlds Collide' together".

Thanks. I hate it.
But also respect your right to utter such blasphemy.

Not to wade too far into it, but I want it on record that all of my characters in everything I've written/drawn, past or present, consent to whatever you want to do to them in your art.

Artists Against Generative Al 15 AGAINST Andrew Unferdorfer • 14h • G A Redditor caught this. Looks like a possible instance where a translation bot fabricated pro-Al misinformation and that got picked up and amplified as real news. The misinformation states that ChatGPT was used by the creators of KPop Demon Hunters to help them write the song "Soda Pop". Problem is, when somebody went back to the original source in Korean, IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING AI OR CHATGPT! The article was translated with Al, and it looks like the Al itself made up this complete lie, and the truly terrifying thing is how nobody questioned it until this one person went digging for the truth. We launched the OpenAl Korea office yesterday! Fav moment from the launch celebration was hearing singer/songwriter Vince share that ChatGPT helped him write "Soda Pop" from KPop Demon Hunters! It apparently gave him ideas to make it sound "more bubbly" OpenAl 코리아 Tweet's now deleted, but here's a bit further down the web of this: The original article this was sourced from, from Korea JoongAng Daily, says this: "Prior to the unofficial event, producer Vince also spoke with Business Director Oliver Jay at OpenAl's official launch event. Vince stated, "We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate inspiration when producing K-pop," and also mentioned that Al technology is already being utilized in K-pop." The thing is, that's only in the English translation. The Korean article it's translated from doesn't mention KPop Demon Hunters using Al at all. So, how did it get there? Well, the English article, as confirmed by a note at the bottom, was translated using generative Al. So, since different language versions of the article contradict themselves, there's a nonzero chance that this entire debacle is an Al hallucination ITSELF, spawned from an Al translation

Interesting regarding AI and Kpop Demon Hunters 1/2

I'm starting to get tired of living in 1984. Can we go back to Brave New World please?

I like trolling my sim with my obscure game knowledge when he's playing Roblox.
Him: I'm playing Forsaken
Me: The n64 era space shooter?
Him: 😶

Him: I'm playing 99 Nights
Me: On the Xbox360?
Him: ...This is why you have no friends.

What an expertly called shot

If you don't want people to speak ill of you in death, don't do ill in life.

The image is a three-panel comic featuring a simple drawing of a dog with a bone in its mouth. - In the first panel, the dog looks content with a bone; and above its head, there is text that reads: "I want to be good at [insert hyperfixation here]." - In the second panel, a hand appears take the bone away, and the text above the dog reads: "No practice." - In the third panel, the dog looks intense, and the text above reads: "Only good."

Me for months: I've got nothing in the creative tank.

My brain, unprompted this morning: so there's this ace succubus, cursed by her mother to always be near her brother, or she dies, and the brother has gone missing because he's been having shady deals with their gangster father, and...

Doctors I trust more than RFK jr.

These guys are simply not smart.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

This is violence

This video by Alex Pearlman does a really good job explaining why branding changes like his aren't "woke" they're just another chapter in the big book of "Capitalism and the adventure of endless growth for the shareholders".

I'm feeling fat... and sassy.

New dis. Who phone?

text post saying: apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life

yeah

Starting a new job. Wish me luck.

Bare minimum for holding a conversation: Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey,
Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey,
Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly
Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree.

I keep forgetting that just because I see a memetic trend on here, doesn't mean it's universal. Playing along can look bad out of context.

If ever you see me saying something dumb, I'm probably just trying to be funny. Feel free to call me out when I fail at that.
