over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Even if I was only limited to the three games shown for each year, I'd still choose 1989.

Reading proofs from book & remembering what I wrote in 2015: "I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one-dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.”

This man objected to my warning that apocalyptic "AI extinction" talk is corporate ploy for regulatory capture, marketing, and side stepping accountability. He said he left DeepMind, like the Anthropic "whistleblower." So lets have a brief history lesson about DeepMind's origins in doomer cults🧵

False

1. I literally quit my Google DeepMind job & lost >>$300k to call out harms regarding autonomous weapons... and extinction risk is still more important, which is why I'm speaking out + working to solve it

2. GDM does NOT want to stoke fears about extinction risks lol

when a GBA game looks great it's like an alternate timeline where the SEGA Saturn kept going for 5 more years but everyone decided to outdo each other's pixel-art and when a GBA game looks bad it's like you're looking at an edutainment java game for cellphones

Just finished this book, and it's a very easy recommendation not just for BTAS fans, but also for anyone interested in animation in general. It's a great examination of the historical context of the U.S. animation industry that led to the creation of BTAS, X-Men, Gargoyles, etc.

Actively worrying about whether reviews match a general consensus, and judging their "quality" by that metric, is for people who don't want reviews at all - just soothing sameness and comforting back-slapping. Opinions? Individuality? Heaven forbid 🙄

Reviews aren't there for anyone to agree with! They're not "right" or "wrong", they're one person's thoughts on their experience - a "disagreement" or divergence means that single person thought differently to the reader, and that in itself can be interesting.

Mobile Suit Gundam doesn't need a remake, or a full adaptation of The Origin manga. It's an all-time classic. Leave it alone.

I think part of what inspires so much grief, so much mourning, in the loss of Tim Curry, is that this was someone who you could feel genuine around. He did not shy away from being offbeat. He very pointedly embraced himself for the (lovingly) delightful freak that he was, and laughed the whole way.

Variety has a corpo bootlicking article about Crunchyroll that I won't link to. It's the usual corpo slop you get from CR that demonstrates for the thousandth time that they don't understand anime and don't care. Absolute garbage company that has destroyed the industry, and for what?

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

When G Gundam aired on Toonami in 2002, the Japanese consulate in Miami brought Yasuhiro Imagawa to FIU to discuss his work. I got a photo with him and he autographed a sealed Shining Gundam MSiA figure, which I still have. To this day, he's the only Gundam director I've met in person.

I think folks also underestimate just how culturally sheltered or silo'ed people were before the internet blew up. People who hated anime had of course barely seen any and were just going on sensationalized second-hand impressions. This fell away when more anime slowly got easier and easier to see.

"I imagine we all have our own idea of what Gundam is." This isn't the first time a creative has said this, and it certainly won't be the last, but it's ridiculously relevant. This is Kamiyama's version. You don't have to like it. That's okay. But when you say it's not Gundam, it's not YOUR Gundam.

The fact that we're celebrating Star Trek 60 means that these beloved episodes are 30 years old already. You know, just for those of you who love to be reminded of the ceaseless march of time. 😉
A scene from the Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" depicts Sisko, Bashir, and O'Brien in TOS-era uniforms (gold, blue, and red, respectively). They are all looking at the same point off screen.A scene from the Voyager episode "Flashback" depicts Captain Janeway standing behind the captain's chair of the U.S.S. Excelsior commanded by Captain Hikaru Sulu. Sulu is lifting up his cup of tea. Standing in front of him, serving the tea, is Tuvok in the "monster maroon" uniform.
