On the plus side, Elon is getting close to having paid subscriptions being half of Twitter’s revenue.

Nazi Germany spread the same lies about gay and trans people as this guy did. He would have been seig-heiling and smiling while he did it.

People have been suggesting studios like Ghibli or Trigger, which would be good, but Laika is a brilliant suggestion.

While I agree that Nintendo’s iron grip prevented the Mario movie from being Minions-but-with-Toad, and it’s probably their best movie, they’re still limited by their house style. If you want a Zelda movie with a tone more like How to Train your Dragon, I don’t think Illumination is capable of doing that, no matter

This is about opportunity cost. A cheesy Zelda movie by Illumination means we never get a smart charater-driven Zelda movie by, say, Dreamworks (How to Train Your Dragon, She-Ra reboot), or a creepy OoT/MM inspired Zelda more in the style of Castlevania.

It’s much more likely that The Pokemon Company is lying to cover their ass after screwing up the entire competitive season in Korea. This ban is about the players having the audacity to protest the screwed up season.

It’s not a pay cut when you factor in the expense of commuting. The savings from not owning a car would be more than 10$ on its own.

November 2019 to November 2021"

Gee, I wonder what else happened between 2019 and 2021 that fucked up the price of everything? Can’t think of it off the top of my head...

Dude, stop simping for your corporate overlords. They don’t care how clean your tongue gets their boots, you won’t ever be one of them.

What vigilantes? The reason real world cops don’t cooperate with superpowered vigilantes is because we don’t have any of those.

That “one dev” is the guy who has been in charge of the entire franchise for two decades. This is like saying “it’s just one director who says Deckard is a replicant”.

And in the end all of our art is factory produced and the same. You can live in that world if you want, but I won’t.

Cops participating in Pride events in uniform would be like going to a civil rights protest dressed like a Confederate soldier.  The uniform of oppression has no place at an event celebrating a historically oppressed group.

It’s as much of a sport as Nascar, and only a little less of a sport than golf.

It’s an arms race. Currently the art generators are winning, because until recently few people knew there was a need for countermeasures. Now that we have kids submitting AI-written essays in school and political ads are using generated art, we’re going to see a lot more research on the detection side.

It’s true that the tech is young, and reliability depends on the data it’s trained on, but your criteria exclude both new artists and people under NDA, while also being useless at determining if a corporation is using AI-generated art. And the best part about tech is that it is constantly improving.

You’re not thinking about this like management. For them, the real value of AI art is it’s good enough and you don’t need to pay artists, so you can fire them and pocket the difference. You see similar concerns with the writers strike going on now. If an entire room full of writers can be let go and replaced with 1 or

I tried two different AI art detectors, using the three images from CeRA’s post.

What’s the deal with Link’s bondage light bulb shirt?

If this is a handheld, then so is the Wii U.
