I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.
Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

Last week, the Trump administration explicitly stated its intention to "neutralize" - its word, not mine - US trans people. Since then I can count on one hand the number of cis people who have even mentioned it. A whole bunch of cis people have talked about trans people demanding too much though.

Remember a few months ago when “AI uses too much water” was broadly derided as ignorant and false? They can literally steal water and not even pay a fine, while residents are told to cut back. It’s an industry built on lawlessness.

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure
Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.

I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly. I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

DANS “SCIENCE & VIE” 🤦 AVEC LA “FOURMI PANDA” et montrant une capture d’écran du site de Science & Vie montrant un article avec l’image d’une foumi panda qui n’en est pas une et titré « Mystère animalier : la surprenante fourmi-panda, une guêpe déguisée aux capacités insolites ? »2/ Visuel dans les tons de vert-jaune disant : « Selon le magazine scientifique (!), la Fourmi-
panda ressemblerait à ça, donc : » en montrant une photo générée par IA contenant plein de bizarreries décrites ensuite : 
L’IA et les motifs répétitifs, c’est toujours pas ça... L’antenne est constituée de plein de segments de tailles et de formes différentes. C’est pas banal.
Une antenne démarre sur le “front” de l’insecte (normal), et la deuxième est placée à l’arrière de la tête, du même côté (pas normal).
En voilà un grand œil. Cette espèce ressemble-t-elle vraiment à ça ? Réponse en slide suivante.
Elles sont rigolotes ces rayures. Sans doute parce que le prompt contenait le mot “guêpe”. mais cette espèce ressemble-t-elle vraiment à ça ? Réponse en slide suivante.
Oh, un insecte à 7 pattes ! Voilà qui est original. Et avec un nombre se tarses qui varie du simple au double aléatoirement, sinon c’est pas drôle.
