if im being wheeled into the operating room and there's some fuckass AI scalpel gameboy in there you can go ahead and kill me normal style instead
When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

I was at a Lunar New Year event at The Met for children and the host made a point of asking the audience to peacefully stand up for their immigrant neighbors. Something very dark about how the fascist threat is so ever-present now that even events like this are addressing it.

"Posting isn't politics" cuts both ways: complaining about the Dems on here won't make them better but it also won't make them lose. It's just people venting!
strangely enormous numbers of people think that criticizing the democratic party on this website somehow resulted in or will result in destroying the party's electoral chances. bizarre!!!

It's honestly breathtaking, I don't think I've seen such a yawning chasm between elected Democrats and the electorate. Dems are gonna negotiate themselves down to a pro-ICE position while the entire country begs someone to stop ICE.

It’s just racism. There’s no immigration problem
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.
And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear
Incredible contrast between this and Keir Starmer running a delivery driver over
Mamdani Forces Delivery Apps to Pay Back $4.6 Million Cheated From Drivers
New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has already scored a major win for deliveristas working for three delivery giants.

It's so crazy to see a major filmmaker put out something this bad. Even if you take AI seriously as a tool, you're putting your name on THIS? You didn't look at the final cut and go "hmm this looks like dogshit though"
You don't have the be an avowed AI hater to be impressed without lifeless and unwatchable this is.

I did a whole podcast about this but here it is again: the word "anime" should refer only to "Japanese animation," by any reasonable definition of that word (created in whole or in significant part in Japan). The fact that it can be easily misconstrued as anything else makes the word less useful.
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥
