i just wanted to let you know that i am holding myself back from saying a bunch of incredibly mean things to you

With this revolutionary technology, we can generate amazing games such as [clone of existing IP]

"Inspired" is quite the euphemism for this!

well done, you've achieved something I thought was impossible: a "Zelda" game I have no interest in playing

This is the most inane article you’ll read all day. The Seinfeld of articles

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

Solidary with Sudan, ever think about that? Solidarity with Haiti. Solidarity with Congo. Solidarity with Venezuela. Solidarity with other people harmed by America who are harmed worse than us by it.

Just like the Drug Wars, we looking at this from the supply side rather than demand side - WHO WANTS THIS? Easy - talentless fucks and excel wankers who have such contempt for people they're all "these hogs will guzzle down anything". They look at Nintendo and get mad because "that moneys mine!"

Am I only allowed to opine if I have seen ALL of them? Not to make a judgment on the AI generated tripe Im seeing in my fields of study in history on YouTube riddled with actual historical errors, and visuals that are banal and pointless at best or misleading and wrong at worst?

Satire is only satire when it is obviously satire. Otherwise it’s just a tasteless piece of poorly executed humour. Regardless, using AI tools to prove that AI tools are useless is stupid logic that just wastes energy. You just wanted to play with the toy without consequence.

why

Yea, we really have to stop asking what is it *good at -- and more what / who is it good for??

*debatable, I know

What really gets to me about generative AI, especially art, images and videos, is that it is so clearly a technology designed to enrich the companies and the wealthy by stealing the labor, creativity, efforts, ideas and time of actually creative human beings. Why partake in this?

I just love Zelda so much, I needed to make a vastly inferior version so I could take money out of the pockets of the people who made the game I love.

The term "sovereign Alberta within Canada" is a carefully crafted lie to normalize a radical idea for mainstream consumption.

Conspirators are employing a deliberate campaign of deception promising unattainable separatist goals just to maintain political power.

They're dangerous but unserious ppl.

I missed this with all the other news going on, but this will be a huge public health win for Canada 🍁 It'll need to be paired with lots of training & education

What’s happening on the streets of Surrey is a terror attack in slow motion.

Extortion was a top priority for our work with the Prime Minister and Premiers across Canada.

We must do everything possible to keep our streets safe and get violent extortionists out of our communities.

Eby today - Crossing borders to seek the assistance of foreign governments with the goal of breaking up Canada is treason and needs to be called out as such!

Smith - How do microphones work again?

No.

Really.

the right in Canada seems to keep obsessing about Trudeau, do they really know that he's off romancing Kate the Pop Star and is no longer in charge

lies, lies and more lies.

Time to Denounce Separatism YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi

Today’s news that separatists have been conspiring with U.S. officials to undermine Canada is deeply disturbing.

Smith emboldened separatists by cozying up to Trump, weakening our country at a fragile moment when we need to stand firmly against this.

Angus: Donald Trump is furious that he was made to look like an absolute buffoon in Davos, and that the revenge was coming fast and quick. And what do you do the next day? You start raising the issue of breaking Canada apart.

This is the Donbass playbook.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin, The Jigsaw Puzzle: Jumbling the Pieces of Stowe’s Story - Commonplace Understanding puzzles as agents of disorder runs counter to a common interpretation that associates puzzles with the quest for and ultimate affirmation of order.

My trusty calendar tells me that it is National Puzzle Day, so it the perfect day to read Patricia Jane Roylance's fascinating article in Commonplace on how an 1850s jigsaw puzzle version of Uncle Tom's Cabin jumbles and generates new meaning for the story. 🗃️

Services currently available to people in #Gaza fall far short of what is needed, largely due to the destruction of the health system and restrictions imposed by Israel.

Now more than ever, Palestinians need more services, not less. Providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza is vital.

why?
Just why?

Don't forget that India did it first (produced a grotesque fully generated slop series). It has a 1.3/10 rating on imdb, not the most discerning of user bases.
