Spotify now features Al band clones
discussion
.. .
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard prominently left Spotify earlier this year. Today this was recommended to me by their release radar:
https://open.spotify.com/intl-

gRyUUBjD-EHA
A bad Al ripoff, from aesthetics to band name, copying their songs.

Kris this is a bad take!!!! 3 is such a good number!! if it was 7 or 9 i would understand... but 3 and 5 are pure and good odd numbers

A screenshot of the Google Chrome browser. It asks, 'Who's using Chrome?'. Underneath are three separate profiles. Each one reads 'Emma Park', and has an edit of Emma's usual profile picture. The far left has an orange background and faces right. The middle has a yellow background and faces left. The right has a turquoise background and faces right. It looks a bit silly.
i can't tell if my Chrome profiles are getting out of hand or are in fact very in-hand

this happens to be 99% of my reasoning. the other 1% is that there's a Christmas tree in one shot

Screenshot of a report on the BBC News website (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0y07959djo) original headline reads:
Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance
I have scrubbed out the word Trans
The headline is above an image of a sign for toilets from Getty images

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

do stuff badly
stop living in a jail of only doing stuff you do well
draw badly write badly code badly sport badly
only way to get good at more things is by doing them through being bad at them
if you enjoy it keep doing it badly even if you don't get good
unless it's a job good isn't the point

This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

I'm getting real tired of not being able to trust that a video game doesn't have AI crap in it:

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

the worst part is, i don't even feel that bad today. so i don't feel justly punished for my silly decisions

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

no shade to GW2 devs, the game is simply 13 years old and i can't imagine any UI solution standing up to that amount of content :')

A screenshot of a Notion database. The breadcrumb in the top left reads 'tracking > games tracker > Guild Wars 2'. Beneath that is the title 'Achievement tracker'. Beneath that is a portion of an extensive database listing numerous achievements, all with a great variety of data points by which to categorise. The image implies that the poster is a bit obsessive and / or autistic.
proof for the proof gods. the breadcrumb should tell you enough about me tbh

an essential part of me playing any collect-a-thon / checklist-y game is deciding the UI is Bad, so i simply must spend HOURS creating a Notion database thoroughly and efficiently categorising this information
but secretly i'm glad i think the UI is bad... because databases are... Sexy 😩

Hot take: we should be calling them friendjank games rather than friendslop.
