I'm sharing my miniature painting journey (ugh, sounds so twee) over on Instagram:

That's part of what makes him so effective. Other characters know how bad it could be if Carrot ever got genuinely angry. It's one of his special powers.

And yes, the Chinese Govt is dodgy. Yes they abuse human rights. But show me a Govt that doesn't behave immorally. Because they all do. Just some do it more covertly than others.

Yep. And "Do I want China to win?"... Using AI won't stop China becoming the world's dominant economy at some point in the next 20 or so years. 1.4bn Chinese. They have the sheer workforce to be economically dominant with or without AI. World powers change. That's the next one.

Public. Consultation.

That's all I'll say.

But they won't be.

FIFA loves money, and WC games in the US are giving them LOTS of money.

Plus Infantino is infatuated with Trump and won't do anything to upset him.

@famitsucom.bsky.social has an interesting interview with Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and scenario planner Takanari Ishiyama about their fears of the original Japanese nuance being lost in translation to English, with some saying that they stated that English is a simple language by comparison.

Yes, Kemi, it's woke and divisive to celebrate our nations wildlife....

She would disagree with herself in an empty room just because, I swear.

The "Hype" feature on YouTube is clearly being exploited by bots to boost certain videos (mostly AI slop and Far Right nonsense).

I've found that 1 "Hype" on a video of mine can almost double the number of exposures I get in the algorithm. Now imagine that at scale...

I'm guessing so.

I'm guessing they have been the quickest to manipulate whatever the latest changes to the fabled "algorithm" have been.

The entire AI industry is riding the fact that Governments worldwide are more than happy to ignore their own copyright protections because they see AI as the "new shiny".

I missed this - it's outrageous. If you make a sports video game and you want to put real players in it, you have to licence them. I don't see how this is in any way different. If they want to use real people in their product, they should have to get permission and pay them.

basically mandating its use.

Pushback from employees?

We "Don't understand" the benefits. Benefits they can't/won't explain.

And given the volume of material they are producing, they are clearly using a paid tier at whichever AI is the "chosen one".

My employer, despite having spent thousands of ยฃs over the last few years building up a substantial media library for promotional purposes is leaning heavily into using GenAI generated images for promotional material instead.

It seems the new head of Social Media is a full on "AI Bro" and is /1

Start the day.

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in. Hold it for a few seconds. Let it out slowly. Repeat a few times.

You got this.

Chromebooks serve a specific market. Some folk need to realise that not everyone needs an all singing all dancing PC. A lot of people do just send emails, browse the web, etc. And a Chromebook is perfect for that.

Yeah. I got into a physical face off in my 2nd year at the Freshers Fair with the entire University Rugby Team who thought it was funny to trash the LGBT Society stand in the middle of the event. Thankfully, the SU and AU reps backed me and booted the Rugby Team from the event and froze their funds.

Oh, there was for sure. But at my Uni (Staffs) it got shut down quickly. We had a pretty effective SU at the time. Not afraid to pull funding from any groups who acted in a bigoted manner. Or have bigots ejected from the union.

Well, he probably doesn't believe in giving serving military personnel nutritionally balanced meals. That's from science and therefore "woke". So he will ply them with "manly" "warrior" foods...
