We have no updates on any announced projects at the time.

Sharing this post from Maryco over on X, where she posted a 33 page PDF on how she was groomed by @farfromani.bsky.social , the head of Butapro. Glad she spoke up, absolutely damning. drive.google.com/file/d/1TxOA...

a post from Maryco on X that reads as follows.

" I was 14 and he was 23. I was groomed by @FARfromani
and it lasted throughout my adolescence. I want to talk about it because I don't want something like this to happen again to anyone else. "

There is a drive link titled: "Farfromani Grooming.pdf"

Hmm, trying to conceptualize this right now. Which of the two is each piece of information in the Transactions logs coming from?

Even then, they would likely have to keep some records of the transaction. But it's no secret that Proton isn't really concerned with total privacy

i'm generally very skeptical towards unproven claims & conspiracy theories regarding what the world's elite is doing, but stories like this one aligning with many people's fears just keep coming out. as if it wasn't already hard enough to separate truth from lies, what a strange world we live in

das_ @das.moe · 10/02/2026

as long as we don't start global wars over this and the rich don't monopolize the technology or whatever value it might provide, i'm sure we'll make it through this just fine

das_ @das.moe · 10/02/2026

only time will tell, but i'm so curious how we'll look back at this time period in a few decades. was it "the time we had tools that worked like magic", "when we ruined society and the education system forever", or "the beginning of the ai era" like what the investors want it to be?

110

das_ @das.moe · 10/02/2026

i do wonder where this will lead us. what does a post ai bubble world look like? are the big models just going to shut down? is development going to continue on a smaller, academic scale? what's going to happen to all the people who've forgotten to work or rather live without ai?

das_ @das.moe · 10/02/2026

oh wow, the general public is more ignorant to the fact that the ai industry is a death spiral than i thought. i figured people were at least aware of the fact it isn't profitable at all or all the cyclic investments, but nada

it’s so cool that the only use case for ai is to distort everyones perception of reality. this needs to be heavily regulated immediately, especially when a government can do this

Yeah, but capitalism tells us that it has to sell, and society tells us that the bigger the boobs, the more beautiful the person... Indie games are the way (in more than just this regard), I feel like

If you needed any more reasons not to use Duolingo to learn Japanese or other languages, they're now catering to transphobes.

That definitely doesn't help, but seems irrelevant here since they went out of their way to clarify that it's 100% hand-animated in the first sentence of the announcement, which implies that they didn't even use automatic in-betweening

000

das_ @das.moe · 20/08/2025

There's a difference between automatic tweening which can use non-generative AI & has been around for decades and using generative AI. The production for Sekiro predates most advances in image generation and is explicitly advertised as 100% hand-drawn, likely aware of the studio's reputation

100

das_ @das.moe · 20/08/2025

AI-generated animation is not yet widespread. I think what you're referring to are just bad drawings by extremely underpaid, overworked, and untrained in-betweeners

I just wish someone had told me that first sentence a lot earlier. The only narrative I was familiar with is how all trans people are in a constant state of suicidal despair with perfect knowledge of what's wrong with them. Neither description fit me

don’t worry everybody, Microsoft had to lay off 9,000 people today so they could literally give 100 million more dollars in AI funding to Israel

AP article headline discussing Microsoft providing AI to Israel “for war but not to harm people in Gaza” something totally normal and possible to achieve

Not sure how to feel about this tbh. Both iron and copper require smelting and iron isn't exactly hard to acquire, so I wonder if this will actually have any relevancy outside niche situations. I think a tier between iron and diamond would have fit better, but copper doesn't work there lol
