So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

So according to what seems to be an NBA intro for Victor Wembanyama, you can clearly see some gibberish AI slop map animation, where France territory borders expands to the Netherlands, then followed by a border where Alsace Lorraine is gone.

I'll say it: Steam fails every developer who isn’t a white cis-man. @geoffreybunting.bsky.social's report confirms that Valve’s refusal to moderate its platform has turned it into a breeding ground for targeted harassment, while creators drown in organized hate, and pay them 30% royalty.

And the Zionist entity continues its relentless theft of Palestinian land with the latest approval to register West Bank territories as state property. Still funded by the west as they continue their colonial expansion designed to dismantle any remaining hope for Palestinian sovereignty.

Today I discovered that the Oslo Accords were meant to fail from the start. Rød-Larsen’s ties to Epstein suggest the peace process was compromised by blackmail and fraud. Palestinian futures were signed away by compromised figures. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...
Compromised peace? Oslo Accords figure deeply linked to Epstein network

Always do a final check of people's names, not just for spelling, but also make sure it's their chosen name. You don't want to end up dead naming people in your credits. When in doubt use our free IGDA resources igda.org/sigs/credits/

Ok I'm sorry but the statement that the inclusion of clashing ideologies was a deliberate choice for this game is not a blanket choice when you include Chris Chan, Liquid Chan, Bill Clinton Kid and more in this. That's just trying to be controversial but in all the wrong ways.

I've been part of a skeleton crew as they call it, and let me tell you, it is hell. Nobody to offer guidance, tasks dumped on you, and the realization that nobody in leadership truly knows what you used to do in the first place, and thus you start questioning your own abilities and legitimacy.

One more exam nailed, one more step closer to citizenship. Take that Hugo!
Wish us luck! Life partner is doing her "examen civique" needed now for french citizenship as of this year. It's such a ridiculous thing to teach people, feeding them French propaganda masqueraded as "culture".
