the grink of extinction

I want to post about how much I love it but that would consume valuable time I could be spending filling the air with shivs

The AI industry is only profitable if absolutely every person fundamentally reforms how they do work, and meanwhile in reality the CMD window behaves like DOS because everyone's living nightmare is having to change a process that already works.

Okay. The people have spoken.

For every reskeet this gets, I will post a random picture from my camera roll with no explanation (other than alt text).

Let the games begin.

The epic handshake meme. One arm is labeled “the President of the United States” and the other labeled as “a twink in a pup hood.” They are shaking hands labeled “I want to be a good boy”

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

Think of it in terms of market share: BG/BG2 were 2m units out of a market of about 50-60m units sold that year. In 2024, that market is now 700m+ - and that's just Steam. 20m units sold is a bigger number, but a smaller slice of the overall pie.

So in context, all 3 BG games were huge successes.

I regret to inform you that the Internet is international and people from Canada, or indeed any nation, can post things here which you may inadvertently read. If foreigners having opinions or stubbornly existing causes you discomfort, relief can be obtained by you fucking off into the sun forever. 🇨🇦

Some Motivational Metems bc we all need someone yelling encouraging stuff dramatically at us sometimes #ffxiv #arcadion

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common” I love that gotta remember that one

four tiny ceramic animals: a light orange fox, a wolf, an otter or weasel, and a darker orange fox with black dotted markings on its back. they're arranged as if talking to each other.

they are very small and they're having an urgent meeting about it

If you're stuck inside today like I am, perhaps tune Fruity Snacks charity event in support of the Coral Reef Alliance.

There will be fish, fishing in FFXIV, fishing in other games, fish facts, fish... you get the point, I'm floundering in this description but It will be a good catch of an event.

Well, the next generation of Nazi hunters is definitely going to have a lot more information to work from, at least.

Hence some of the pitfalls of writing on the Internet, highly visible in e-mail, blogs, and responses to blogs. The mechanical ease and immediacy of electronic communication are deceptive. People write hurriedly, don't reread what they wrote, misread and are misread, get into quarrels, hurl insults, and use flame-throwers because they expect their writing to be understood as if they were talking. It's childish to assume people will understand unexpressed meanings. It's dangerous to confuse self-expression with communication.

Ursula K. Le Guin, spitting truth.

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

Oh my god what do you mean Soken didn’t even ask for it, Tom basically just went “we heard they were huge fans so we wrote them a song to use however they want”

Whenever I work with an editor it eerily goes the same as when I assemble IKEA furniture.

"Done! Phew. That was a lot. What do you think?"
"You put those legs on backwards."
"God. Dammit."

I still get "that's not how you spell satellite". WELL MAYBE EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG yeah sorry I'll fix it.

I'm reminded of a time I was in Turkey (mostly working, but also some touring) and a carpet seller told me, "No. You must not accept this price. We will sit. We will have çay. We will chat and I will show you many carpets. Then I will again show you the one you like and we will haggle."
