Ok and one more quick thing before I move onto the actual story. I also had a cube prim av. It literally looked like the default cube build object. I would hide in people's builds and watch them freak out when they couldn't select or move me. Ain't no God like a trickster God.

a plywood cube OR IS IT

if humanity ends up at war with the machines the most likely cause will be due to conservatives threatening to cut their power because they are using xenopronouns for each other in the infinite semantic orgy of cyberspace

“Unlike KOSA and many of the other age verification laws that have spread across the country, the SCREEN Act does not have bipartisan support. It’s the latest in Lee’s repeated attempts to criminalize content he and his co-sponsors personally consider immoral.”

The SCREEN Act is a Christian Nationalist Nightmare

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the arc...

the most disappointing thing about Starfield isn't what everyone complains about it's if you jump off the oil rig looking platform that Neon is built on, you don't plunge into the thassalophobic depths of Volii Alpha's world spanning ocean instead you find out that it is 2 feet deep a metaphor

a general note as well: something being written by AI or not does not change the validity of the underlying information it's a non-argument, an inversion of an appeal to authority

...much of what I say reiterates points other writers have made about the scourge of LLMs & AI writing. but I don't think any of us (writers or general public) are prepared for how bad actors are about to wield false accusations against writers they dislike: juliaserano.medium.com/on-em-dashes...

screenshot from the linked-to essay that reads: I admittedly cannot vouch for any of the aforementioned writers, as I’ve never heard of them before. But over the weekend as I was writing this, Kat Tenbarge — a writer I am familiar with and respect — released this video in response to her being falsely accused of using AI by [checks notes] Ozzy Osbourne’s son. Apparently, Osbourne thought an article Tenbarge wrote about the Tate brothers was written by AI because it included (in his words) “whatever they’re called, like the big hyphens” (aka, em-dashes). Tenbarge’s video includes proof (via Google Docs of drafts of her article saved along the way) that she wrote it organically. And she cites OpenAI itself who said, “AI writing detectors don’t work.” So why does Jack “whatever they’re called, like the big hyphens” Osbourne care if some Rolling Stone article was written by or with AI? Well, I’d wager he doesn’t. Especially, since he doesn’t even know what em-dashes are! The most likely scenario is that he raised the issue because he is either 1) pro-Tate brothers and wanted to smear a journalist who wrote about the case against them, or 2) he knew a video smearing said journalist would be clickbait for the rabidly misogynistic Tate fanbase. (Notice how this is not a list of three, but two.) In other words, we have entered the age where people who disagree with what authors have to say — the facts we raise and the arguments we make — will be inclined to simply claim that our articles and books were “written by AI,” regardless of whether they are or not.
