I suspect it's likely to stick even *better* than it ever did to techno musicians, because it's more visibly true.

There are for sure people deploying these things as just one new tool in their drawer, with skill (whatever opinion of their ethic applies), but the amateur slop rush IS lazy.

Makes me think of Uwe Boll. You get all the shots you want, if you're doing comedy. But, like, genuine anger about how bad he is and disparaging of people having fun watching his stuff... Wouldn't make *him* look bad.

Like, I'm used to the *moments* of "My god, so many our arguments are about absurdly small shit" that anyone buried in discourse has, but rolling around in the grass a bit sure drives that fucking point home.

They say.

It very much appears that "we don't train AI on this!" has, at this point, surpassed greenwashing as a topic of corporate lying.

I'm unsure if it's genuinely trivial or Y2K: No big deal because we were ready.

"Ah, wizard school. A fabulous place to learn, with spell refraction all around you to consider and study. But there's a reason *tricky* spellwork is done in isolation.... It's damned distracting!"

Spell level, cubed, in (10 foot increments? Maybe a bit more, and give it a fancy name).

L1: 1 increment
L2: 8 increments
L3: 27 increments
...
L9: 729 increments

Then, make the "hum" of extreme magical places a *problem* or a *feature,* do it drives casters to congregate, isolate, or vary.

I always drop in a little oil, to the point I forgot to say...

Yeah, I should have gone for a smaller can of V8, and more broth, though mostly to bring up the Umami take the tomato dominance down to "just right".

It wasn't *too* salty, but for sure didn't need any more.

Properly, this:

- Brown rice
- 1 Small Can V8, then Chicken Bouillon + Water (or just broth) to cook amount.
- Can of peas, drained
- Cumin, Minced Dried Onion, Minced Dried Garlic, and Flaked peppers to taste.
- A teaspoon or two of vegetable oil.

Probably to serve with chicken.

Seeing people going "This just looks like cosplay" and, like.

First, I'm not sure exactly what they could be doing to wow people? Making the costumes elaborate just to prove a point? Providing final shots on day one of filming?

And second, yes, because cosplayers are fucking amazing these days.

I'm not sure if they can capture the whole "Link is an impossible one-man army who only LOOKS like the twinkiest lad you've ever met" thing, but they're doing well on the looks-like, anyway.

Turns out "Marrying Benny Blanco" is tickets by Ticketmaster. Shit.

Is there, like, a waiting list?
