AI is a cancer.
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

The Outer Worlds 2 has a radio station where all the music sounds exactly like the stuff from Fallout, but it's all written *FOR THE GAME*. They hired real swing and jazz bands to help create the songs, and the lyrics are all tongue-in-cheek product jingles. It's my favourite thing about the game.

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

When you talk about a union behaving like a mafia, this is who you're talking about

Actors fighting for other actors

When you mock the negotiation committee that fought for months, call them "unhinged" in your youtube videos

You're talking about people fighting for a better future.

Looking back, the only regrets I have working on The Outer Worlds 2 were not being able to convince our creative director we should call Westport "Port Westport" and that the Dumb line "What's a boat?" was funny.

It's my earnest hope that any IT professionals who play The Outer Worlds 2 will appreciate that a key step in fixing the moon-sized super computer is turning it off and on again.

Beat The Outer Worlds on Supernova difficulty.

Once again, hardcore mode provides unique challenges that only serve to enhance the experience and that is absolutely true here as well.

I can't wait for TOW2 to get Supernova as well so I can re-experience that brilliant game as well.

I hope the people involved in saying yes to this poop their pants violently at the exact most embarrassing time to do so each day :)

They pay us so little in dubbing already & clearly think we aren't worth paying at all yet theyre also bringing in celebs for "name factor"

Performance means nothing
Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors
