This is horrible. Will this AI nightmare ever end? The whole point of grief is to achieve acceptance after getting through phases that are deeply painful, yet necessary. As if taking personal data and manipulating people wasn't enough, let's keep them in a perpetual state of vulnerability now! #noAI
For real, check this out. Evil.

We're approaching the end with #tinytoon adventures DX for #gameboycolor : this scene where Babs tells you about Max, Shirley & Calamity Coyote necessitated a dynamic switch of palettes, as Shirley's portrait would be replaced. Couldn't use different color for her beak, but I think it's still OK.

Usage de l'IA, qui plus est pour la communication d'un événement qui aurait constitué un modeste revenu pour n'importe quel artiste capable de dessiner un personnage à double face? "unfollow, as usual". #noAI 👎

Vous vous souvenez de cet épisode de #bigbantheory, où #Musk faisait semblant de donner de son temps à la soupe populaire? Qu'est-ce qu'on a ri!

I won't spoil the Haunted Forest, but still, here are parts of the 3rd level, including Fifi's portrait. I went with "fiery" colors for her scene, both because of her personality, and to make it pop, compared to the darker tone of the rest (both inspired by Night Ghoulery) #tinytoon #gameboycolor

J'ai pour coutume de me désabonner de tout individu recourant à l'IA, dont les méfaits ne sont désormais plus à débattre. Plus encore quand il s'agit de prétendre aborder un sujet de fond, et a fortiori si le sujet est celui des fake news et assimilés. Cette absence de réflexion me laisse pantois.
On parle fake news ensemble ce soir?

When you're not done with palette assignment, and Fifi looks like she's just heavily stoned. #tinytoon #gameboycolor

Tried #tinytoon DX for #GameBoycolor on a black and white #gameboy , and it works! (Meaning it doesn't! 😅) Sweet!

Today I was lucky enough to present an early version of #tinytoon DX for #gameboycolor at the re-play festival nearby Nice.

That's a very important point. I remember my art lessons, when we would learn about Goebbels calling modern art "degenerate", and saying that "muses won't stay mute during war". I know Miller is being compared to him a lot nowadays (and rightfully so), but that doesn't make it any less accurate!
Denouncing modern art (AKA "Degenerate Art") was the only part of the Nazi playbook that had been missing from Stephen Miller's commentaries.
Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

I was sold the moment I saw this Akira meets Blade Runner meets Batman on Sega CD esthetic. But damn is this hard! Still quite a bargain at this price, I just wished I had a little bit more time to look at the graphics. ❤️
Night Striker Gear is just fantastic. Perfectly captures the vibes of the original but with a modern sheen. Game itself is much more intense too, with more enemies, bullets and some impressive boss battles. Definitely feel the Treasure DNA here.

Pas mieux. Un contre-pouvoir qui n'est pas un pouvoir ne survit que parce qu'il ne contre rien. De toute façon y'a des expressions qui discréditent automatiquement leurs auteurs, et "gouvernement des juges" est bien de celles-là.
Wooow la débilité du keum, la Justice EST un pouvoir, son indépendance via la séparation d’avec l’exécutif et le législatif et son bon fonctionnement est un des pilliers même de notre Démocratie, c'est le programme de 5eme dans les collèges publics, la France entière le sait mais pas @lefigaro.fr
« La justice est en train de devenir plus qu’un contre-pouvoir, un pouvoir en soi. » Alexandre DeVecchio du Figaro

« C’est ce genre de discours qui affaiblit plutôt la République et la démocratie. » Alexandra Schwarzbrod, de Libération

Sans compter les autres défauts de l'IA, dont l'environnement. A ce sujet arrive le concept fumeux de "frugal AI", ou le fait d'avoir un usage "modéré", en décidant de s'arrêter lorsque le résultat nous convient (cf. article du Moniteur). OH OUI, l'Humanité est tout à fait prête à faire ça!
