Dude made a โ€œdemoโ€ of a game that was an AI generated video of a car in an obvious Cyberpunk 2077 setting. These people are less than useless.

it's such a great example of generic LLM speech, and how easy it is to see the patterns

If I see obvious bot posts like this it actively makes me lose respect for the brand, and/or the publisher/marketing team that paid for them. Makes me want to buy the product less.

Be better.

laying off staff used to be a red flag that a company wasnโ€™t doing great.

now, theyโ€™re framing them as accomplishments, shrinking the work force while increasing profits.

make it stop

The notion that generative AI can โ€œhelp people be creativeโ€ who canโ€™t otherwise is just. Iโ€™m sorry. No. Tiny children can be creative. People who have never taken a class in their lives in any form of art can be creative. You can be creative. Maybe be honest about what youโ€™re really trying to do

If it helps, with some sonic toothbrushes you're supposed to do 45 degrees on the outside top, then same on the inside top, then the top. Supposedly you should never be using it parallel with the front of the teeth like normal brushes as that can push back the gums

Weโ€™ve been watching all the seasons of taskmaster and every time we start a new one I always start off like who are these people >:( I donโ€™t know them >:( I want my friends back >:(

But then I quickly decide that they are also my friends

the idea that MasterCard has a "brand" at this point is absurd lmao. credit cards having brand identity is over! the age is past. they're infrastructure now and they shouldn't have opinions any more than a road or some dirt should

Finally the last of my dragons for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. Unlike the others who are merely decorated with crystals, this boy is crystal to the bone; like a gummy worm made of rock.

This is dragon 5 of 5

Freedom To Buy Join the 48-hour giveaway and stand for the freedom to buy games.

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.
