The whole world. Every one of us. Poisoned. For decades. Because an American megacorp could patent the poison.

Not feeling great during stream (and I took six hours to ink one character, which isn't a great rate of return on a $50 commission...), so I'm taking a quick nap break, but I WILL RETURN at 9pm Eastern for a little Cryptmaster! See you then!

Human productivity per work-hour has been on the rise for centuries, that's what technology *is*, and, AI or not, it's not slowing down. We will be facing mass un- and under-employment within the next 50 years, and anything other than full no-qualifiers inflation-indexed UBI is simply *incorrect*.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

another day working at the japanese artificial mouth company. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck the artificial mouth. buddy, they wont even let me fuck it
This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time.
It sounds so human-like!

Been watching some Nightreign, and I do like how it's "what if Elden Ring was Fortnite", because that implies that other soulslikes (including 2D ones) could be Fortnites, and possibly even that Metroidvanias (which are a very similar genre) could be Fortnites.

See, the problem with this is that a full third of all possible lines require the center square, and you can't really check that one off until the ball drops *next* year.
Yes, this is the first reflexive thing I thought when I saw this, because game designer brain is a real thing and I have it.

For the record, if anyone ever makes an "AI" version of me based on their records of who I am and what I've said & done, I can assure you, there is information in my head that has never come out of my mouth or fingers and I am not me without it.
THAT THING IS NOT ME AND DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME.

This year marked the first time the AI avatar of a victim—in this case, a dead man—has ever addressed a court, and it raises many questions about the use of this type of technology in future court proceedings.

In the DE playthrough I'm currently listening to, the player keeps disregarding the supranatural plot elements, saying he doesn't believe in such things... while playing a fantasy videogame.
I feel compelled to point out that aversion to magic is not the same thing as skepticism.
