No, but go on. I like where this is going.

I would love Yoshitaka Amano to see something animated in a similar fashion to this sort of artstyle. Sure you can’t get exact sort of crazy expression in every frame, but I would to see anything Amano does in motion.

(I definitely think I just did the thing you mentioned in explaining racism lol…hope it’s not too irritating)

Nah you’re good. You at least end with Hampton. Hampton as you’re closer is never a bad thing 😀

I’m getting to the point where I find conversations that boil down to “White Supremacy is bad” is getting really tiring. It’s like a solved equation. Yes it’s bad, but at a certain point we need to begin to think new thoughts. I just don’t want to hear another PoC tell me that “and the reason why XYZ is bad, is because of racism” OF COURSE IT IS DUDE! WHAT THE FUCK NOW!?! WHAT DO WE DO? HOW DO WE MOVE PAST THIS IN SOME WAY?

I guess i’m just tired of having racism explained to me. I feel like hades.

That headline sounds like a really start to a DLC campaign for a game or one-shot adventure for a TTRPG.

facts!

I hope I like it, I have a 12 volumes of this and it would be real shame if i end up not feelin’ it.

All of gaming since 2011.

Americans education needs are serious overhaul from pre-k to university to better serve students, teachers, and America’s suppose “continued prosperity”. this is the exact opposite of overhaul needed. We want a “American century” and salting the Earth in so many ways

Modern star’s costume designer and make-up doesn’t get enough love. This looks great!

Yeah, I tried to use it a bit for my own mid-30’s MSc, and it was useful in the sense that it produced a terrible paragraph with some structure which I could then viciously edit into something new - decent at fixing grammar and finding words-for-things though. But that’s not too different from my earlier method of “just mash keys wildly and passionately and then go back over to edit out the sedition and most of the swearing”.

That i can respect!

As an aside I do think it’s good to get some experience with an LLM’s output even if - especially if - you’re against them, because it gives you a sense for them. I hear a very distinct and kinda annoying “chirpy ironic” voice in my head when reading LLM output, from my subconscious doing the analysis. Not totally reliable, I’m sure, but feels helpful.

I have DeepSeek on my machine locally (it’s fine and free and the way i see all these MEGACORPS are the same US based or China whatever) and I have used it from time to time. However, in an academic-sense it can be a tool much like the advent of the “Google Search” in the 2000s. Much like the “Google search” it’s important to not just copy and paste whatever you find and call it a day. I think many people (my fellow student I know for a fact) just throw a question into the machine and just skim over the reponse and say “seems fine to me”. I don’t wanna be that type of dude.

I’m feeling this. I love finding TTRPGs books and reading them. Even if I can’t play them with other they are such a good source for inspiration, design, and generally rad.

A friend of my had a moving sale and just gave me a load of “Chainsaw Man” for helping him out as a “Thanks bro, appreciate you dawg”. Never read it, honestly never heard of it until a few months ago. I don’t know anything about it, but something about artstyle is really appealing to me. Not the sort of shonen artstyle I grew up reading, it’s different. I like that. I have vol 1-12. I am going to start reading it tonight.

I’m going back to school for my Master’s degree. I am in my 30s and I have realized that “Generative AI” does nothing but cheat me out of learning. Using AI for your homework/assignments does nothing but outsource your thinking and learning to the machine. It makes you dumber.

Exactly!

I’m very upset that I can see that being a marketing message strategy from the Liberals and DNC. They would say that or something like “Loneliness isn’t a problem, it’s an OPPORTUNITY!” /

The loneliness crisis is very real, and no MEGACORP has the means the of doing anything to address it.

Computers. Learning basic computer hardware, security, networking and all that sort of nerd stuff is important. Knowing how the inner workings of how machine works it’s very useful for subverting it, modifying it, and extending it for real leftist purposes. I remember setting up my Boy & Girls Club computer center in my teens I seeing use was really satisfying
