How many times can I say "fuck A.I." before it finally gets into the AI bros' heads?

Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong.
But... Stochastic Parrots.
do you guys think that when Stratt was going through the vlogs she got to the “so I met an alien” part and was like ‘shit he went crazy’ only to see Rocky roll on screen like 3 videos later

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again
Like to charge, reblog to cast.
Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?
Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate
Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.
Thanks for the correction! I was like 8-10 years old when this all went down (2014-2016) so I only know vaguely about it. I’m still learning about this.
So funny how Spock is like "affection is alien to me, love is unobtainable, I have no idea how I would ever approach a woman" and then you see his parents and their comfortable open PDA, that is the first FIRST thing you see about Sarek and Amanda. It just really puts into perspective how broken and queer Spock really is. Bro is FUCKED up. Spock my black metal queen
Watsonian/Doylist analysis applies to human anatomy too. When I ask "why can't teeth heal?", I'm not looking to find out more about teeth, I just want to make a complaint.
since it's new doccy whomst's anniversary i think it bears repeating how fucking incredible eccleston's performance as nine was. the fact in 13 episodes he got so many amazing moments ('clinging to the skin of this tiny little world', 'you think it'll last forever', 'why don't you just die', 'i never had a life like that', 'everybody lives', the whole 'no' speech in bad wolf) isn't just testament to the writers but a credit to how damn good he was as the doctor
In hindsight, Sloan repeatedly pulling the whole "enigmatically appears in your home without you seeing them enter" thing on Bashir is weird because this is a setting where teleportation is a fundamental part of day-to-day life. There's a mystery of how he beamed onto the station maybe, but Bashir's bedroom isn't anymore of a flex than just bothering him at work or during his downtime.
Therefore, I propose that the intimidation tactic wasn't appearing in his bedroom in itself, but instead Sloan trying to unnerve Bashir by deliberately emulating a scene from a trashy spy romance story that Bashir didn't want anyone knowing he liked.
My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.
Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??
Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??
Legolas please gain a sense of urgency
It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.
gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"
"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."
"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."
Former Infinity Ward developer Chance Glasco has claimed Activision had previously pressured Infinity Ward to feature a fictional invasion o
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran. This came after Call of Duty gameplay footage was used in a video released by the White House X account, showing a character calling in a Kill Streak before a montage of real-world military bombing footage. Explosions shown in the video are presented alongside '+100' point indicators, echoing kills using killstreaks in Call of Duty games. In response to this video, Glasco wrote on his personal social media account: "This doesn't surprise me. I remember after Activision took over post-Respawn formation there was a very awkward pressure from Activision for us to make the next CoD about Iran attacking Israel. Luckily the vast majority of our devs were disgusted by the idea and it got shot down." He would further elaborate on this, in a response to social media reactions to the same White House video. In one tweet, Glasco claims: "A lot of us devs were appalled because it felt like political propaganda being pushed by Activision." When asked why depictions of an Iranian invasion of Israel felt like political propaganda, while fictional military depictions in other countries like the UK and Mexico were okay, Glasco elaborated on his stance. He said: "My point is that the government would happily use entertainment, including video games, as a way to sway public opinion on major issues. There have been decades of pressure for a war with Iran across multiple administrations. The scenarios you mentioned, not so much."

tfw even the military propaganda game devs think you are taking it too far
Very interesting tidbit from the last paragraph of this article, where they note this particular administration has been using videogame footage to promote their crimes against humanity both at home and abroad. And apparently it's a "huge success with gamers".
a quirk of sexting while british is switching from arse to ass. i would never fuck someone in the arse. its impolite.

Due to some easy to pronounce concept that has four harsh syllables, Worf considers himself to be extremely close friends with Keiko O'Brien in a way that is utterly unbreakable, a fact that Miles finds at least mildly annoying in a way that doesn't entirely count as jealousy. Worf feels so duty-bound by it, he wishes to avoid becoming even more entangled by it. Keiko herself also prefers to keep Worf at more a distance than he would insist their bond would justify, but *does* appreciate that he has always, no matter how dire the circumstances, sent Molly an elaborate (if not perhaps overly Klingon) gift, every birthday.
If you’re using Skype you should dump it and get Discord instead!
Pros:
Cleaner, easier to navigate interface
Free servers for more permanent group chat things (way easier to hop in and out of chats)
You can actually have different nicknames on each server if you want
Is actually well built and doesn’t make your computer yearn for death
Stuff coming down the pipeline soon according to devs:
Video chat
Linux client
Cons:
All your friends aren’t on it
But you can change that
Download it. It’s great and it’s only getting better. It’s aimed at gamers but it has nearly all the functionality of Skype and then some.
Since Discord first became a thing, it has added:
friends lists
group chats
changeable statuses
search function
and a hell of a lot more! Also this is a huge shout out to any of my friends who still use Skype – I don’t use it, I use Discord. Mail me and I’ll shoot you my details :)
Also the audio quality is just way better and more consistent than Skype’s.
Discord uses it’s own servers to host calls instead of relying on a user host like skype :0
One thing I really like and find personally resonant about Julian Bashir is the fact that he's filled with passion and curiosity and enthusiasm but is also a judgmental hater. Responding to the new Defiant with "I hate the carpet." Responding to Jadzia saying "What I want is Worf" with "Why?" It's a pettiness distinct from his righteous anger over genuine injustice and it really speaks to me.
