whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this what we create also creates us

It is one of the most beloved matches in AEW history. PAC vs Orange Cassidy, AEW Revolution 2020. We love you, Ben. We already miss you so much.

the morning after my friend took his own life i had to go to the store to grab something and i remember being INFURIATED with these teenage girls giggling in the aisle. it was such a strange feeling hating them for not being aware of pain that had nothing to do with them

England with a very Hypno-Disc display. Unbelievable potential but let themselves down when it mattered most.

Become a hermit then.
I see the vile left are celebrating the passing of Ann Widdecombe, with the same glee they did after we lost Mrs T. I fucking despise the left, they are scum😡

"We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier." Hate to break it to the internet but I'm fairly certain that most if not all studios are doing this in some capacity, they are just not telling you. Larian is at least is giving these tools to their devs as an aid if needed vs straight up replacing them which I can guarantee all upcoming EA / Microsoft / Ubisoft / Activision will be replacing devs. Welcome to 2025.
Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: gamespot.com/articles/baldur… We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

I’ve always stood with the trans community, and I always will. The same forces targeting migrants and Muslims are attacking LGBTQ+ people, especially trans people. Our safety is in solidarity. None of us are free until all of us are free. That’s the new party we’re building. Bigotry has no place in it.

Are you fucking kidding me??? The target was what they hit!! The hospital! The journalists! This army has bragged over & over about its precision. It has assassinated people in their homes. What they hit was their fucking target you useless genocide mongers.

Israel bombed a hospital. Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded. Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV. Read that again. Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.
