@Critical_Scribe It's never truly been about the AI, J.Y. but rather them controlling what is and isn't art. Thus as always with those people, it always becomes purely about control. It's why the "Anti-AI" movement is already in its dying throes. People realized the truth.

It’s also starting to become a bludgeon used from a place of envy. No longer is it “how did you develop this skill” now it’s “this is AI, you faker” and given people’s habits to double down lately they will not admit when they’re wrong. Correcting misuse of AI would be much simpler if those against it stopped being so vitriolic about it. You’re winning no favors.

I hate AI for one major reason. My old writing style was clean but rather formulaic from a decade of writing essays for money. Changing it to make it more voicey and character driven and biased and tight and people will still be like "this is AI."

@Critical_Scribe From what I've seen the combat could have been better too. Not bad exactly, but man it looks so... boring. Just like BDO.

@MoarbidK @davidrazi It's better than Starbucks' $15/h where I live. Way better. Imagine thinking Starbucks makes remotely as much as welders.

@SandyofCthulhu I think Ebert is wrong but not for the reason OP thinks. The *artwork* in a video game doesn't make a video game *art*, because that isn't the definition of a video game, that's artwork which can exist outside of a game, same as writing/music/cutscene cinematography.

Ebert’s reasons given for saying computer games weren’t art: 1) you can win a computer game. (To me, a non-sequitur.) 2) computer games are built by a team. (While movies only have a single person in the credits?) 3) Roger Ebert himself didn’t play video games. (Actual reason given.) Penny Arcade famously debunked this by saying, “If a hundred artists create art for 2 years, how is the end result NOT ART?”
exQUIZitely 🕹️@exQUIZitely

"Computer games are not art" One of the most prominent people to say this was film critic Roger Ebert in his 2010 article "Video Games Can Never Be Art". Then there are Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, both expressing that games aren't art. Spielberg specifically said something along the lines of "the second you get the controller something turns off in the heart, and it becomes a sport," arguing games struggle to create the same deep empathy or emotional connection as films because of the interactive/sport-like element. Hideo Kojima (the game designer behind Metal Gear Solid), doesn't consider videogames art, emphasizing that "true art radiates purely from the creator without the interactive compromises games require." "The second you get the controller something turns off in the heart" - probably the line I disagree with the most. I am not saying all games are art - just like not all books or movies or paintings are qualifying to be it. But how can you look at some of these games and say they are not art? Literally just looking at them, not even playing them. How is this not art? If it touches you on an emotional level, and stimulates your creative and playful mind, lets you remember and feel things - isn't that an essential aspect and key element of art?

@DrachonaTheWolf Part of the modern writing trend infecting anime too. Gotta have random light hearted humor even during world ending stakes. Always takes me right the fuck out of the situation and makes me stop watching.

(SPOILERS) By the end of the movie, it's clear that the writers (I'm assuming the book does the same) forgot what they set up: every star they're aware of is "infected". I.e. EVERY LIVING BEING EVERYWHERE IS FUCKED. The tone is absolutely too light-hearted for those stakes.

I can't help but compare #ProjectHailMary to The Martian. The thing that bugs me the most is The Martian had levity, but it had a generally more serious tone than Hail Mary. But the stakes in The Martian were one guy's life. In Haily Mary, it's...

What you're looking at is someone who, despite observable reality, has never left the self-made cocoon of safety they made for themselves during the pandemic. She is, objectively, too emotionally weak to handle the real world.

It is an inescapable reality that some people are too mentally and emotionally weak to handle any problems. They don't necessarily lack the capacity, but they are currently so unstable that they can barely be trusted with their own lives, let alone anyone else's. Example:
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz

If you’re traveling to Cuba or any impoverished community, or just generally, you should be wearing a mask. We’re 6 years into an ongoing pandemic and airborne disease is real no matter how many “leftists” want to scream and stomp their feet and shout RFK talking points

@Jeff_Rosenbury @LebakBulusLRT @TheReelRandom Okay. That's Sicily and Italy. Still Mediterranean coast. Far from Normandy France. Vienna isn't far from the Mediterranean either. And sure they may have had advisors in Europe, but for political alliance reasons. Same with most noble marriages back then.

I taught American Government for decades. Separation of church and state is about as basic as you get. It’s not just the 1st Amendment that makes this clear. Article VI, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any religious test as a qualification for federal office or public trust. That’s also a clear separation between religious belief and your right to serve in elected office. My high school juniors understood this, but a sitting Senator doesn’t?

@digginholez @davidrazi Ship welding is very dangerous. Lots of falls high enough to be lethal or disabling. One wrong move and a harness fails, and it's over. Ontop of that, lots of underwater welding for ships. One wrong move and you cut your air line and drown.

@PallyRichardius @davidrazi Correct. Non ship welding starts at like $80,000 a year. Ship welding is FAR more dangerous and is paid more, especially hazard pay for the most dangerous parts. OP is so out of touch with reality it hurts.

@davidrazi @MoarbidK Here in Michigan welders are being hired starting at $80,000 a year. No clue where you got your lies from, but they're lies. Welders start WELL above minimum wage because few can handle the work. You want that $20/h? Go weld. Turns out hard work actually does pay.

@Jeff_Rosenbury @LebakBulusLRT @TheReelRandom No, it isn't. Islam never made it beyond Iberia. What you just spouted is pure Islamic propaganda. Sad you fell for it. And yes, it CAN be banned. Multiple states already have. There's a national ban in the works. You have so little clue of English history it's almost painful.

@CommanderRedEXE @LebakBulusLRT @TheReelRandom You can't ban Sharia. Much of English Common Law is based on Sharia. The Normans conquered both England and Sicily. Sicily was Muslim until then, and some Norman legal advisors were Muslims. Juries? That comes from Sharia.

@sbmcks @BearBoyd924 @lundpix @TheReelRandom Literally not a MAGA Bible. Just a Bible with a different cover. That's it. But you use Wikipedia as a reliable source, so it's already clear you don't care about where your info comes so long as it fits your worldview. Even it's own creator shits on how unreliable it got since

@TerraDraca @Truth_Dragon500 The term is being overly misused like Pedo is, to bury it because it makes it harder to call out the people it's meant for. It devalues it.

@TerraDraca @Truth_Dragon500 -how many have no clue how damaging it actually is mentally and financially. There's a reason the term Gooner is being massively overused like Pedo is. A true gooner is a porn addict so hopelessly addicted they masturbste ten or more times daily, and are emotionally empty.

I rather have OnlyFans burned to the ground with its founder. The largest online prostitution ring that breaks people, mentally and financially, must be eliminated.

I'm pleading to @elonmusk to purchase Onlyfans and delete it. Want to increase the birth rate? This would help massively.
