New Episode: The Story of Hanukkah

What is more comforting than a familiar story?

Listen here: www.welcometonightvale.com

A black background, like a dark room. A single candle in a candle holder is lit near the edge of a table. Two hands rise from behind the table, cupping a face with the bottom lips in a toothy smile. The lips above those lips are closed. Two more sets of hands frame the face, one with fingers reaching out to the sides and the other with the finger tips curled toward the palms. Long curly brown hair falls around where the top of the head and the neck and shoulders would have been.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
ddiamond.bsky.social Dan Diamond @ddiamond.bsky.social · Nov 20
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”
Autism and Vaccines QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS PAGE 2 OF 9 | ALL PAGES J For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. HHS Research on Plausible Biologic Mechanisms between Vaccines and Autism HHS will evaluate plausible biologic mechanisms between early childhood vaccinations and autism. Mechanisms for further investigation include the impacts of aluminum adjuvants, risks for certain children with mitochondrial disorders, harms of neuroinflammation, and more. * The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

General rule of thumb now, do not trust ANYTHING from a AI translated news piece.
Any news site pushing news that's been AI translated to get it up quick and not fact checked/translated themselves can get in the bin, it just simply cannot be trusted!

Interesting regarding AI and Kpop Demon Hunters 1/2
Artists Against Generative Al 15 AGAINST Andrew Unferdorfer • 14h • G A Redditor caught this. Looks like a possible instance where a translation bot fabricated pro-Al misinformation and that got picked up and amplified as real news. The misinformation states that ChatGPT was used by the creators of KPop Demon Hunters to help them write the song "Soda Pop". Problem is, when somebody went back to the original source in Korean, IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING AI OR CHATGPT! The article was translated with Al, and it looks like the Al itself made up this complete lie, and the truly terrifying thing is how nobody questioned it until this one person went digging for the truth. We launched the OpenAl Korea office yesterday! Fav moment from the launch celebration was hearing singer/songwriter Vince share that ChatGPT helped him write "Soda Pop" from KPop Demon Hunters! It apparently gave him ideas to make it sound "more bubbly" OpenAl 코리아 Tweet's now deleted, but here's a bit further down the web of this: The original article this was sourced from, from Korea JoongAng Daily, says this: "Prior to the unofficial event, producer Vince also spoke with Business Director Oliver Jay at OpenAl's official launch event. Vince stated, "We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate inspiration when producing K-pop," and also mentioned that Al technology is already being utilized in K-pop." The thing is, that's only in the English translation. The Korean article it's translated from doesn't mention KPop Demon Hunters using Al at all. So, how did it get there? Well, the English article, as confirmed by a note at the bottom, was translated using generative Al. So, since different language versions of the article contradict themselves, there's a nonzero chance that this entire debacle is an Al hallucination ITSELF, spawned from an Al translation

Pre-ordered this on Bandcamp Friday and it absolutely rules. An entire album of bangers.
Dearh of the Heart CD jewel case. JER tag heart logo in the bottom right over a white background. The left third of the background is black, and a monochrome cropped JER with a green and yellow shadow looks up toward the camera. Text in a bold font reads DEATH followed by a stylised “of the heart.”

FYI - if you are looking for the 2025-2026 vaccine manufactured by Novavax at CVS, ask them to look up the actual vaccine name: Nuvaxovid

(They will not find it in their system if they look up “Novavax”)
Nuvaxovid™ 2025-2026 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine Approved in the U.S.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
