I don't know who needs to hear this, but all four seasons of Beakman's World are on Tubi.
One of the best science shows for kids ever produced and one that definitely should be mentioned alongside Mr. Wizard, 3-2-1 Contact, and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

With this said, I am done with the national stage. It is abundantly clear that nobody can be trusted and votes do not matter.
Vote blue no matter who? Nah. How about "go fuck yourselves you lying pieces of shit" instead.

Democratic senators voted to make sure that there was more money for ICE to harass your community
democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

Heads up for anyone who uses @keepassxc.org for password management - they pulled the Fedora/Bazzite thing and are now encouraging AI use. You can see this in the PRs that have been done by Copilot.
Might be time to look for a new password manager that's programmed by humans, not vibe coded.

the moment any media replaces any human labor with AI it is dead to me. And anyone with any iota of appreciation for the hard work that goes into their games, books, music, illustrations, animations, etc etc etc should feel similarly
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Here's the correct framing regarding AI:
AI is evil, the people who use it are evil, it is not inevitable, and there is no such thing and can be no such thing as "ethical" AI.
It is a technology that should not exist but, since it does, should not be used. People who DO use it should be shunned.
