This makes me think of neural pathways in a brain. Or blood vessels.

Ironically using “ai” to detect “ai”, poorly.

It’d be pretty impressive slop to get all those dials and labels right.

Dunno about beavers, but I think the squirrel bit is just using their typical hyperactivity as something most people are familiar with.

Ah, this one makes the most sense. Thanks!

stg?

Looks like a big doggy bat. Cute!

What they want is stories jerking off their egos for “changing the world”, which in reality equates to them burning through start-ups, capital, and public resources to benefit their own personal wealth at the expense of everyone else. The stupid fucks can’t even realize that Black Mirror is about them. They ruined the future and I’ll never forgive them for it.

What a stupid fucking idea for a contest. “Press a button until something interesting pops out. Best button pusher wins.” Glad it got subverted like that.

Article about a crypto kids show obviously generated on an llm. The future sucks.

I’d say Terraria is more of an RPG than either of the other two, if that matters. Boss fights, gear progression, etc. It’s amazing, but it’s not quite the same. There is still a lot of building creativity space, though, if that’s your jam.

Don’t name them or anything. That might be helpful.

Fallen into several arguments in Lemmy about exactly that. People give it way too much credence to what is functionally a eugenicist’s nightmare. I have no hard feelings at Mike Judge or even the movie really, but it’s fiction, not a warning from the future. Honestly, people need to stop treating fiction as documentary evidence in general. At best it’s interesting thought experiments, not something one should base their world view on.

One of the reasons it’s a bad word - it was inevitably going to just be used by people to mean “this thing I personally don’t like”, which is useless as a term of discussion.

Not “like”. That’s the goal.

Once had a discussion with some coworkers that legit didn’t know the original cut had no Jabba. They were so certain that they actually almost had me convinced for a moment.

I fucking hate all caps titles.

Fwiw, deus ex machina (God in the machine) is fairly appropriate for exactly that.

Hot air expands and cold air contracts. You want the air in the bowl to be hot so it’s not creating negative pressure.

Wait…that thing shoots lasers?? I thought it was like, a boomerang or something.
