Been thinking about this post a lot over the past uh, 10 months or so. Honestly, thought about it a lot when I first saw it, and then even more when I realized Gex wrote it. But some events from recently and also about 10 months ago make it feel more relevant to me.

Turns out the guy who made the Helen Keller conspiracy video that YouTube keeps pushing on me is former Fox News and has videos like this

This makes the Wikipedia article for Flavor Aid really weird since Jonestown is literally the only notable thing about it.

Got this one a couple of days ago on Mak. I don't think the Atmospheric Sampler did much, but it's hard to pass up because of how OP it is.

Got my first 10 win of the year after a couple of unfortunate Vanessa runs. I think slow burn Vanessa might be the strongest build in the game right now, so it was nice to pull it off. Shielded lighthouse with Oni Mask made this build's scaling really out of control.

I think I'm going to start a thread of my Bazaar 10 wins, starting with my last run of the year. I think the heal enchants elevated this one to something really OP. I had to get through some builds that I know are OP to get this win, which makes me think this one was nuts.

Saw this take earlier and I've been turning it over in my head a bit this evening. My opinion is that people should just try to act normal when they're in public, online and offline. Then this isn't a problem.

This to me kind of gives the game away on this stuff. As far as I know, Bluesky is not setting rules about what other sites people are allowed to use. Users criticize other users primarilly for using X, a site run by an open fascist with the explicit cause of furthering his political goals.

I think this, really, is the core problem with basically every modern app. TikTok is probably the next biggest offender, but it's everywhere. Everything is about engagement and numbers. Whether or not it's harmful to the user isn't really a concern.

Actually, maybe this thing can just make people insane if it talks like this.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

This actually made me realize that AI anime art looks *a lot* like Riot's official art for the KDA girls. I'm sure all of the official League art is in these training sets.

Summaries are one of the things that people keep selling as a use case for AI, but I've had it fail on me twice in as many days! Left is DuckDuckGo's AI assistant's answer to "metgala theme" and right is from the CNN article about it.

Just look at how awful this is. What are those flying red things? Birds? Butterflies? Sleighs? There's a Charlie Brown tree smothered in a snow drift. Her braid mixes in with her coat and isn't even connected to the rest of her hair. This is terrible even by non-touched-up AI standards.

My Sinday afternoon project this weekend was putting together this modded GBA. It still needs a couple of things, but I'm thrilled with how it looks.

Looked up the Destiny thing to see if it was real and went to the MSN link because they're trustworthy, right? Two paragraphs in I'm hit with some of the most obvious AI writing I've seen in a while.

Saw this earlier and I'm still figuring out ehat to make of it.
