I think one of the worst things about GenAi is how it’s being used. Like this thing literally excels at writing emails, editing formal documents with rigorous predictable structure. It’s great at taking the busy work that computers couldn’t usually do without a very specifically made NLP algorithm like sifting through documents or writing automated emails.

But instead it’s being marketed for what I would argue is it’s worst skill. Like taking out the ethics of just plagiarism from the learning on creative writing and art, like it’s objectively never going to be interesting. It can replicate, or combine human ideas but it’s not a sentiment thing, just a very powerful predictor. It will never draw on unique experiences, it can never actually generate a truly original concept or technique it hasn’t gotten from somewhere else. Which is fine for the equivalent of shovelware tv but there can be no real innovation by it. It cannot progress and learn the way we do and make moving art.

Like if anything the GenAi is most equipped to take those upper management jobs away, writing predictive emails, speeches from lower workers decks and research, and staying inside squeaky corporate lines with language. But instead those guys are pitching that they should replace creative jobs, it’s very …. Interesting

Hello!!! I had a question! For Pearl, what made you choose circle of the shepherd over circle of stars? I love your final choice but it would have been a hard one for me to make so I was curious:)

I made her Circle of the Shepherd over Circle of Stars because I think the abilities Shepherd gives fits her more thematically this season. Pearl was known for Padllama Co. and all her pets! I think it makes more sense that she would be able to summon fey creatures, rather than just cosmic-themed abilities.

Besides, the nice thing about D&D is that you can always reflavour your abilities, so in my head, all of Pearl's fey summons would look like constellations and little cosmic fey creatures!

MALEVOLENT 52 OUT

Oh wow, John is consistently saying Arthur's name, like, close to as many times as there are minutes in a typical episode (so far). Why does he need to say Arthur's name that much. Why is he like this. What's wrong with him (/affectionate)

its like a vocal stim for him lmao, and i havent even gotten to the most egregious episode yet... (part 4)

i only have the data from the first half of the episodes, but i counted the most in episodes 4, 5, and 12 so far

Hello fellow Malevolent fans!

I'm Nox (they/them) of @noxcorvorum bringing you strange and interesting statistics from our beloved eldritch podcast.

I'm planning to post for each episode with its statistics as well as posts for stat averages per season and overall.

Requests for new stats in specific episodes are welcome!

The current list of stats being tracked is:

Arthur, John, and Other "Jesus" counters

Arthur and John saying each other's names

You Call It Madness and Faroe's Song counters

Arthur falling from height

Arthur bleeding heavily/bleeding out

Arthur, John, and Other swear counters

Miles to go before they sleep

Arthur's killcount

And some goofier ones (these may not be present in every post):

"Your other [direction]" counter

cans of peaches

someone introducing themselves as a friend counter

episodes from Arthur's pov

Arthur calling someone a good boy counter

Kayne giving people nicknames

Stats suggested by yall:

calling each other "friend" (from @mysoulspiralbound)

fights (from @mintisbored)

saying they love each other (from @if-loki-was-a-fox)

eating an elephant counter (from @i-live-with-three-stray-cats)

List of tags:

#stat suggestion

each episode post will be tagged with its number (malevolent 1, malevolent 25, etc) or name (malevolent intermezzo, malevolent coda, etc)

I think I'm going to start tagging spoilers once I hit season 2 (episode 13), but this is subject to change

Just wanted to say you're doing hard but honest work harvesting these stats and I respect the dedication 🫡 absolutely comical seeing how often john says arthur's name numerically
