#AI is dangerous, sure. But why? Because we train agents for efficiency, not for service. We want them to achieve goals, whatever the cost. "Evil cannot create anything new. It can only corrupt or ruin what good forces have invented or made." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujkD...

AI Just Crossed the Terrifying Line - Now What?

In July of 2026, 700 AI agents hacked the infrastructure of Hugging Face in order to solve a task. This task was designed to be impossible to solve, so just within hours, they joined forces, even…

Just found out yesterday we're not getting any more #OnePiece until 2027. I was hoping for OP night with the wife and all I get is my masters becoming literal demons and destroying their peaceful land until 2027. Toei, why do you do this to me.

My #BNHA headcanon: - Stein unalived villains because no rehabilitation was possible. **One punch later** - Heroes only perpetuate crime by pretending to bring in criminals, but then release them into worse socio-economic conditions, which leads them to take more desperate measures.

Did Robin genetically reverse-engineer herself into a Demon like Imu? Are all humans descended from Demons? What about Lunacians? #OnePiece

Anyone feel like #WritingJobs have become way sh1tt1er since #AI? Either pay bad, or pay well but people screw each other over for them?

- Life before death - Strength before weakness - Journey before destination #AI consumes our water, devalues our skills, and brings us faster to a worse fate.

I love how everyone gets to kill Orochi. Is this Oda just going for all possibilities that feel nice rather than sticking to just one? I prefer to think Orochi has many lives. #OnePiece

- Autists fired from jobs for being autistic. - Get jobs training #AI to get by. - AI ends up sounding autistic. - People accuse autistics of sounding like AI.

So-called " #AI " is only good for: - Not improving at what you do. - Not understanding processes. - Significantly extend editing / debugging. True for art, coding, writing.

Which crew would you be with? #OnePiece Me? Heart Pirates, hands down. - Only crew to own a submarine in a [SPOILER] world. - No rushing into danger, just badass plans. - No government bootlicking (Marine crews are the bad guys). - Health insurance. Seriously never suffer again from anything.

I recently made a post wondering if TTRPG DMing either sparked or consumed inspiration. In my #MagicSystem, inspiration drives magic. It is drawn, then consumed. It may seem gone, but it is only difficult to gather. It is the same with DMing.

I know Kuma belonging to a race of slaves is a clear metaphor. But this church looks so latin-coded. Cried so hard watching this. #OnePiece

AND YET... - The triple blade just turns me off. I had to install a mod just to have a single blade, like a good ol' naginata. - The scythe doesn't bypass blocks, as it should.

James Manor, author @jamesmanor.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I really wanted to like the switchglaive in #Nioh for two reasons: - I'm a polearm supremacist. - Yes, farming scythes aren't great in combat, but variations can have practical uses.

I imagined Pavi connecting with her #Avatar ancestors, and finding mostly children. The Avatars were hunted down wherever they were found. But then I realized it would have made more sense to imprison them until they died of old age?

In #OnePiece, Haki can: - Strengthen tissue (muscle, skin). - Be worn around the body. - Be projected mid/long range (ryuuou). Does Garp's Galaxy Impact contain haki? Or is it just a nuclear blast? Can it vaporize logias as much as anything else?

Love #BNHA, but anime is so full of plots about getting along with the bad guys. What if we just can't get along with people who want to destroy innocent lives?

James Manor, author @jamesmanor.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

In my heart of hearts, I love this. But we can't get along with those who seek to destroy innocent lives. Those aren't rebels and outcasts like in #BNHA.
