trigger's TURNING GIRLS, a nearly zero-budget ONA voiced and iirc scripted (maybe even directed and animated, too?) by the studio's female non-animation staffers turning their own water-cooler conversations into lightly dramatized comedy skits that were, imo, genuinely really fucking funny.

Justin Sevakis, who currently runs AnimEigo, stated that "No company would ever spend money on this" when he wrote about Moshidora for ANN back in 2013 If YOU were Justin, what'd be YOUR Moshidora? What's the most out there, "No one would license this" concept anime that you'd license? Quote away!

This reminds me of how the favoured 80s term for a home computer - a "microcomputer" - came about because commercial computers were, comparatively, really small in terms of physical size and components compared to what until the early 70s was what a "computer" was - a big boxy room-filling thing

Anytime I see a news story about another smart device (that had perfect functionality without being made "smart") going haywire I always think to myself, it's like the Pierce Brosnan house from the Simpsons. You NEVER want the Pierce Brosnan house. ^ ^;

A planet of adventure - A DINOSAUR PLANET. The attract screen from the prototype build of what was already evolving into Star Fox Adventures, though it was intended to be an original project until it caught the attention of Shigeru Miyamoto, who requested it become part of the Star Fox 'verse.

"A friend of mine told me try America Online." Something I actually have only periphery memories of from the time, mostly from ads and seeing their CDs, as my access was direct to the web and not via curated portals like AOL. 💿: Boot Disc 6, 1997.

Long COVID is here to stay, even in children, and worsened by reinfections and ongoing transmission. Governments and health systems must prioritise research, care access, and protection for kids—otherwise, the long-term social and economic costs will keep rising. #LongCOVID

So the site owner is an accelerationist cultist. It’s not a surprise. But why do *all* these Silicon Valley types seem to have a similar lack of self-awareness, empathy, ethics and basic intelligence? And why do they think this is something to advertise?

Indeed. LLMs are LLMs. Machine learning is machine learning. AIs are Astro Boy, Robby the Robot, Cmdr Data, the Ghost in the Shell Puppet Master, etc. I will not use the term for anything less. Don’t feed the hype machine. Don’t call it AI.

There is absolutely no good faith reason to use the term “AI” for any technology one is selling. It serves only for dazzling people into thinking the technology has capabilities that it doesn’t. If one wants a technology to be trustworthy, just use a transparent, informative term without hype.

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.
