If you're against ICE when it's being used as intended from a republican admin but not against ICE when it's being used as intended from a democrat admin, then you're not actually pro-immigration. You're just someone who dislikes Trump and doesn't want to think about the humanity of others too hard

I’m still not sure which Knives Out film I like the most, but I think I feel pretty confident in saying the Louise phone call from Wake Up Dead Man is my favorite scene in the whole trilogy

No. This sucks and this is really dangerous.
In solidarity with all artists, Please be cautious.
I know many will remain on Twitter because they have mostly everything here but be aware this time it's worse than the other times.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Very amused to see a bunch of pro-AI folks on here trying to suggest that the obvious alternative to historians reading the literature themselves is to effectively accept the vague summaries provided by a machine that doesn’t understand words and is intellectually incapable.

Saw Wake Up Dead Man tonight. It's really good.
I don't think this next part is spoilers but if you want to go in FULLY blind - now you can stop.
Still feels like a Benoit Blanc movie but it is a little less interested in the mystery and more focused on detective fiction as a genre.

I know the ghost of Christmas Future is always a guy in a cloak, but, hear me put, what if he was a dude with a gravestone for a head that speaks through the engraving on his own face?

Vtubing already shares so much DNA with pro wrestling (character gimmicks, kayfabe, alter egos, improv, evil IRL corporate overlords, etc)

Heyo - I want to weigh in on this because (while I find value in accomodations just...inherently) there's a bigger issue I think we pave over when we limit the conversation to only that angle. (A Thread)
The administration is extorting universities for billions of dollars and attempting to destroy free speech, academic freedom, and independent thought but the Atlantic talked to a few professors at elite universities who think the problem is that some students need a little extra time on exams

I've seen a lot of folks clowning on the coat bath here and- thats great and deeply earned but also: bedroom 4 / full bath is a room with a sink and nothing else. There's also the room marked "Master Rosin" and "Huge Walk Mini Closet". Theres so much wrong here.

call me crazy but i do think there should be one political party that aligns 100% with my opinion that leopards should NOT be eating people's faces, you can settle for a choice of one party wanting to help the leopards, the other just wanting to watch, but some of us have standards you know
There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Kevin Sorbo was in his 30s and in peak physical condition (he was currently playing Hercules), and he had three strokes after he had his neck cracked by his chiropractor.
AARRGH. CHIROPRACTIC IS NOT MEDICINE, IT’S DANGEROUS BULLSHIT CREATED BY A FUCKING GROCER WHO THOUGHT HE COULD HEAL WITH MAGNETS. WHAT THE FUCK, AMERICA
Oh good, they left Chiropractors as professionals but not Nurses, NPs, PA’s or physical therapists
That’s infuriating

Lumping them together as “AI” gives readers the impression that a single class of tool is discerning novel protein structures, teasing subtle patterns out of mountains of LHC data, writing a student’s History 101 paper, and arguing a ketamine-addled billionaire could post up Shaq in his prime. No.

Happens so much in gaming now. Yes, video games have always adopted new tech, and AI like machine learning has been a part of that. Hell, Rogue used generative algorithms in the 80s.
But the use of GenAI in gaming is new, and quite different. Although companies using it love to say it isn't.

Conflating machine learning tools with GenAI and LLMs are such a favorite of these bad faith arguments, too. Like, machines studying X-rays to better understand cancer is not the same thing as Open AI swallowing all my books via piracy to regurgitate sentences that sound similar. It's just not.
