Moved around some goo, new model sheet time. Please forgive me for not really wanting to innovate on the layout or text. If it ain't broke... #art #digitalart #oc #modelsheet

Model sheet for Olivine (Ollie). They’re a goofy green creature made of slime with arms but no legs, kind of a naga thing going on but much chubbier. They have a rounded chubby muzzle with catfish-like whiskers and two thicker whisker-like protrusions on their chubby cheeks, and a pair of floppy feelers (antennae) on their head. Their hands are simplified and mitten-like with no individual fingers. Diagrams on the side show that they are malleable and easily change their shape.

A broken clock ⏰️ shows the correct hour 8 percent of the time. Even if an elected official is as actively dangerous as some in power in 2026, I feel no shame in agreeing with up to 8 percent of their platform while expressing sheer disgust at the other 92 percent.

"LSTM" stands for "long short-term memory", the neural network architecture that predates the more parallel "transformer" architecture of current language models. Yet out of frustration with LLM output that has filled web search results, I first read it as "looks slop to me."

Disney needs to cool it with the rapid-fire live-action remakes already. They just remade PINOCCHIO in 2022, and now four years later, Disney's 20th Century Studios is rehashing the Monstro🐋 sequence into WHALEFALL.

Pinocchio (a wooden boy) clings to a raft in the foreground with Monstro (a whale) in the background. Still from Disney's film PINOCCHIO (2022)

"I before E, except after C" is an ancient proverb known to many in society. It was never scientific, with a deficiency of evidence, and not efficient at explaining English spelling. I can't in good conscience recommend it any more than other fallacies. #SelfDemonstrating

Hm, there are a few unnecessary words in the headline here. I’m no AI model but let’s see if I can’t help improve this a bit.

The headline “Anthropic’s ‘Watermark’ Text Adulteration in Claude Is a Perversion of Writing” with some words blocked out so it just reads “Claude Is a Perversion of Writing”

Yet another reason to avoid large language models: They're like Cocomelon for grown-ups. Too much LLM use not only makes you pick up LLMs' phrasing quirks but also breaks the reward system in the brain. Just ask Hank Green of YouTube education channel Complexly.

Anglish is what you get when you start with new English, leave out words that came from French since the 1066 Norman infare, and bring bindwords forward from Old English to fill the gaps. Wobbly speechlore teacher Andy of ILoveLanguages tells more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvh0...

"Chat" is French for "cat". "GPT" or "j'ai pété" is French for "I farted". In a US grocery store, I saw a book titled "Coloring Cat Farts". I believe ChatGPT is worth just as much.

Nappa: "What does the scouter say about camera movement in older Cocomelon videos?" Vegeta: "It's over 9000!" Yes, yes, Vegeta. MTV-style cinematography with shaky cam and a cut every 2 seconds like youtu.be/ohHYABXMqUQ is no way to actually teach life lessons to children.

Vegeta crushes his scouter (vitality measuring device) and says "It's over nine thousand!"

Still from Dragon Ball Z episode "The Return of Goku" (1997)
