Great letter but in this context not really impressed. 

I think you trying to claim it has nothing to do with the brutality of the game, given how a blow to the chest can cause cardiac arrest (as mentioned by two other people with at least one link) is quite disingenuous.

Blunt force trauma to the chest can cause cardiac arrest. As Hamlin’s cardiac arrest occurred right after a tackle, it is not out of the question.

No, he didn’t have a heart attack. What he likely had happen is that freak impact that happened at the precise wrong moment in the heart beat. Commotio Cordis. Happens to about 30 people a year in the US. Mostly with kids/teens playing soccer.

They didn’t find “direct evidence”? Meaning they did find evidence, but it was plausbly deniable, so they made him do a performative apology and went right back to pretending nothing was wrong?

He’s taking it seriously, after getting fired for not taking it seriously while he was suspended for not taking it seriously.

Do AI art without stealing existing art.

Dangerous is putting it lightly. A lot of society have been conditioned to not recognize or respect what is art, and instead pay more attention to branding. This has been a 60 year conversion that benefits corporations and capitalistic greed in the end.

Well Artstation is full of portfolio work from high end products like film and games owned by companies like Disney and Warner Bros and Sony etc. So it won’t be long before it starts churning out stuff that’s going to get the big and powerful corporations riled up.

The problem is that as people become more and more dependent on “factory made” goods, actual craft and know-how is often lost. We saw this with the advent of industrialized goods. Not many people know how for instance to craft intricately woven baskets of extreme complexity, and many techniques are now simply…

Of course she’s getting sympathy.  She’s a white woman.  He’s not white, hence he deserves the scorn.  /s

What the techno-utopians who comment on articles like this fail to realize is that they’re considering AI art generators as a neutral tool that has somehow materialized out of thin air. Considered in isolation, it is a promising instrument - but the reality is that such technology is developed and wielded by…

Nobody wants to hear you whine about how offended you are by other people being offended. Shut the fuck up.

Ho boy, as someone who did classical history as their minor. YEP

So basically some kid desperate for attention with no actual care for any political cause and therefore best to probably not cover from here on?

Cronos ate the whole damn scale, and threw it up along with his kids. It all went sideways from there.

I grew up watching anime and reading manga and definitely find many anime characters appealing and in RL like “cute” women (there are cute older women as well). I find Megaera, especially her facial features, to look quite harsh. I wonder if conditioning through different animation styles impacts what one finds…

Really when your story is about the Greece of antiquity and/or the myths therefrom if everybody doesn’t land in the mid-range of the Kinsey scale, something has gone wrong.
