The tournament deserves a full analysis but the semifinals between @boshis.place's Little Baby Apples and @wonderville.nyc was ELECTRIC!
Luckily @ma.lloc.ca clipped the final moment feat iconic commentary by @lainenooney.bsky.social: "WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY BABY!"

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, DK follows objects of interest with his eyes. However, he has an incredibly short attention span. Whenever a new object enters his vision, his attention is drawn to it instead. If many objects are moving, he will be distracted by each new one.

“Industry” is the key word here. The *technology* does not need to steal artists’ work to be developed and refined. AI can exist without theft, but these business models cannot. As with airbnb and rideshare apps, these are hucksters trying to outpace regulation, not build anything lasting.
Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry
