I agree. He did his own take of a younger, quippier Optimus Prime and it really worked.

I get that, but I also remember bouncing around somewhere between way too chatty and too shy to talk because most of my youth was spent without much social interaction. Bumblebee trying to fill space with annoying, unnecessary dialog is way too relatable to a younger me.

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care

For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

Trying to think about which segment of our society right now has an investment in promoting AI and who also think democracy is overrated and most non-billionaires are just cud chewing dolts who’d prefer for a great big strongman to govern them.

If you are so extraordinarily stupid that you fall for a standard Republican trans panic ruse, I cannot trust you to represent me in office. This is like media literacy 101. Your colleagues are going to run circles around you. Dupe you into anything. I'd be safer running and representing myself.

it's two things, to me: 1) trans rights matter because trans people matter and deserve rights, not just because failing to stand for trans rights is a bellwether for inauthentic progressivism more broadly 2) if you can't be trusted on trans rights you can't be trusted on anything

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

An extremely good day to you all from this Pachycephalosaurus statue - which was located in a park in an actual town called Dinosaur, in Colorado (Pop. 243) (Photo from 1991, part of the John Margolies Roadside America photo archive, www.loc.gov/pictures/ite...)
colour photo. close-up of the head of the dino statue. it has the domed head, and some lumps of armour, but "lumpy" would be a good word to summarise this very rough messily-sculpted affair, which is dark brown with a "normal" white and black eye

Unfortunately I find charm in both. One is the most literal "What if Bayverse Bumblebee was a Beetle?" representation I've yet seen, and the other is charming vintage, at least to me.
