Yeah, this is freaking fantastic. Thank you for introducing me to a new holiday classic. This is going directly onto my playlist right now.

It's what we still say in the US, too. I've literally never heard a single actual person refer to it by any other name in conversation.

Locke is my boy. "It's a little tight, but the price was right" is in my vocabulary forever.

Celes is a hair behind. It was a photo finish.

Exactly this. I never tells the truth. If it ever gets anything right, it's not because the machine is correct, it's merely an accident. It cannot ever even theoretically be correct about anything except by accident.

She does have a really great figure. We are in 100% agreement on this. It is but one of the many things that make this so good.

You introduce yourself with "I am responsible for putting AI in Word"? Obviously you haven't been bullied enough in your life.

Meanwhile, I am perfectly aware that I have a dim view of most humans. Especially the ones that think the slop machine is a person.

Yeah, it hurts that I can't really recommend BG3 anymore at this point. Hopefully I won't have to stop recommending Pillars down the road.

i understand that these corporations are beloved by many, but as soon as you start defending their use of AI, even if it's "a little bit", i need you to understand that you are being used as a corporate tool to normalize AI. reject it with all your might. corporations arent your friend.

Facts. I have found a number of books I would otherwise never have read because I was following an artist who posted about the cover.

100% It's all the same self-defeating poison.

Facts. Slop is the opposite of punk.

I 100% assume that anything with an AI generated cover is AI generated inside, too.

OMG, that's fantastic.

Definitely snazzy. I like them.

"Alien life could be lethal" is not shorthand for "Alien life is actively hunting and hiding from each other because any discovery leads to annihilation. You weren't shorthanding, you were describing it wildly incorrectly.

Nah, the Dark Forest is the idea that alien life is both lethal and actively hostile to all other alien life, and any civilization that gets discovered will be obliterated by whoever finds them. It's much more specific than just "alien life is lethal to us."
