Additionally, as someone who has had sensitive personal data leaked in the past (like millions, I'm extremely wary of giving bad actors a target for any more of my data than has already been leaked, so this is a safety, security, and sanity measure, amongst other measures I'll be taking!

I'm also against the OSA as it is now because it's an overreaching law effectively designed to control what everyone has access to, rather than it being used to protect kids, as has been claimed!

You know what that actually reminds me of?

Because it's me, it has to tie into computer games somewhere along the line :P

Don't forget the spooky music :P

It's probably even worse now!

Can he come back and help us get out of this godawful timeline?

Yeah, it definitely was quite big back then, especially as it has its roots in Night of The Living Dead, because one of the guys behind it (with George Romero) was responsible for Return, & that actually caused a split between the franchise!

I'm not sure that's actually common knowledge either... I have watched a bunch of zombie movies in the past, so I know a bunch of the tropes! As this account includes writing under its umbrella, I'm able to directly respond here without needing to switch back to my SGU account to find the post!

Coincidentally, I somehow managed to fit that reply into the character limit without any spare characters left, which impressed me, as it's so rare for that to happen to me!

The origin of this comes from 'Return of The Living Dead', and the exact reason given its that it's effectively a "painkiller" for them, because being undead means a painful existence! So people's heads are essentially a pack of cocodamol or morphine for them!

For the record, I'm not hostile towards AIs/LLMs as I see their potential uses, but SoundCloud has been really sneaky about introducing the feature, and that's not really a company you'd want to deal with!

Ultimately, AI is here to stay, and it's a good idea to learn how to use it efficiently!

It's also a cultural touchstone (I think that I used that correctly!) too, as I understand it!
