I have some Gripes w legends z-a like literally everyone else but I gotta say, having your character go by he/him and have an option to make them look like this is definitely something I hope pokemon games will keep from now on

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got is that when you feel hopeless, out of place, or just generally at a loss, you should look for ways to be helpful or kind to someone else. Works every time.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

When these things work well they can work *really well*. See Alphafold.
The animosity should not be misplaced.
The dipshits burning the world up to use a bloated autocomplete as a stand-in for human thought and creativity are the ones to blame.

At its most simple form any ML model is a just a blob of math that you optimize to produce desired outputs from some type of inputs.
Like categorizing items, identifying anomalies, etc. It's *specific* in purpose.
LLMs and GenAI are no different, you're just getting scammed about what they do.

This. I've been working with "machine learning" since before the current AI-fever and it's an invaluable tool in science and engineering.
LLMs and GenAI are being misused in a criminally negligent way and using misplaced legitimacy to do it, and that misdirect cannot be allowed to continue.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

oh my god I remembered how i got “””complimented””” like this once (or twice?) and I cut that shit off so quickly because I may have a rather tame nsfw art but I don’t want to be associated w this idea of weak ass squeaky clean 100% unproblematic nsfw. Honestly that felt more like an insult lmao
"I like this artist because they never draw rape/incest/weird shit, it's wholesome and inclusive" I love that you know what you want and you've found a happy place, sexual exploration should feel safe, but... they've either drawn that already or gained inspiration from sources filled with it
