I bit the bullet and played Mortal Shell 2 ASAP and HOLY SHIT was that a wonderful decision It's not just a souls-like. A lot of it deliberately ISN'T a soulslike, and I think it's gonna turn away people who need to play this game yesterday. It's a methodical action game. That's different.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

New York, plan now for dangerous weather during your commute this evening.

Storms are rolling in this afternoon, and will bring heavy rain and potential flash flooding to our city, hitting hardest during peak commuting hours.

If rainfall is heavy, winds are strong, or you hear thunder, please wait to travel. Never drive through floodwaters.

If you are trapped or in immediate danger, call 911. Report downed trees, blocked catch basins, and other non-emergency hazards to 311.

City workers are out preparing our infrastructure, and our emergency response crews are ready to help New Yorkers through the storm.

Do your part by planning ahead and looking out for your neighbors.

The problem with the premise is that an LLM is not on some continuum from a rock to C3PO. Your hypothetical sapient robot is not a more advanced version of an LLM, it is a categorically and qualitatively different thing. An LLM training is not the same kind of event as a sapient being learning.

I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.
