Seeing people blast the Amazon AI dubs but then announce they’ll be streaming Where the Winds Meet
I understand you were never likely to watch or engage with these anime dubs to begin with, but please be aware these things are doing the same thing - replacing the human element within art you love.

Wuxia MMO Where Winds Meet is full of AI chatbot NPCs, and people are doing all the standard obscene stuff to them: 'I made him think that my character was pregnant with his child'

...The way he moves is very weird. This doesn't actually feel like a real video. The way parts of his face move. Am I crazy on this one?
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

Trump's occupation of DC is an expression of the idea that every unbreakable law and unpardonable act of violence becomes necessary if you first establish that you and your followers are complete and utter cowards.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done.
