This Week in Aurebesh celebrates its 10th anniversary with a special addition to my Pets of the Old Republic series: the Hairless Mudhorn! I explore the place of the Mudhorn in #StarWars and #SWTOR and wonder if it might be a cousin to the duck-billed Platypus! www.generic-hero.com/ThisWeekinAu...

It's been very cool to see so much Star Wars: The Old Republic activity on Bluesky! I am the creator of the blog "This Week in Aurebesh" and for nine years I've been translating the alien languages of the game and discussing topics related to SWTOR and Star Wars in general. Here are a few favorites.

This reminds me of a few things that happened during the recession in 2009. Positions were cut, there were massive layoffs. But then, the some of the very same positions came back, within a year for a good deal less per hour. Makes me wonder when they rehire what the wage will look like.

When it will then create additional problems we wouldn't have had to correct, face, acknowledge, or experience. This - all of it - creates more work for us, and thus ends up replacing that "free time" we earned using AI, with putting out AI-created mistakes and 'dumpster fires'.

and that false answers are the bane of research. That too many creators/owners of AI allow the AI to be "imperfect" with a "use at your own risk" -- while advertising and pushing them to be a tool for everyone to use for the very purposes of accuracy and expediency --

Reposting this - because AI makers do need to be held accountable for developing better answers and awareness. I do research for the purposes of fan writing - that often include needing to look up actual historical, archeological, or even societal development in history --

I find that he embodies a kind of personality core that's the antithesis or opposite of what a lot of us ND peeps develop. His values are so perfectly tailored to empower his own personal "greatness". That alone makes him easy to loathe, then add his words, actions, etc - What is there to like?
