it goes the other way around too u gotta be okay being a little annoyed with your friends. like not in a letting them be unhealthy with you way, but in a People are flawed and can’t be 100% perfect way. otherwise you will have no human friends & will look to things like chatbots for catered solace

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age. They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.

More than 90% of you won’t be asked to confirm your age. Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we’re launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback.
You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you're a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same. More on this below.
We've added several new ways to confirm your age, including some that don't require an ID or selfie (including credit cards). If you're an adult but weren't automatically placed in the adult age group, you can confirm your age group at any time by going to User Settings > Account Status. More on the new options below.

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

this response is so funny "we have to use ai because our developers are spread so thin it'd be impossible to do it all by hand" okay hear me out maybe instead just don't make 9 pc ports at once??? you could just make one so you're not spread so thin

“One of the reasons I think we are accepting of AI contributions is that our developers are spread thin,” said Jeod in the group’s Discord server. “When Ship of Harkinian began, it was apparently a dream; now, with so many ports and a decade later, devs have come and gone; some don’t have interest in specific games, others have real life to deal with. We always welcome talent, and if you’re willing to learn how things work here, then the door is open.”

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

I keep looking at what they use AI for and it's literally basic concept art. They actually did stop hiring artists and now just spam genAI to make the most generic stuff until they find something they can kitbash into "originality." They became the worst case scenario.

good news everyone! OpenKH will no longer be using genAI. The Kingdom Hearts modding community can rest easy.

Discord announcement from TopazTK:
A poll was made in OpenKH concerning the use of Generative AI in its codebase. It was overwhelmingly decided by the community that Generative AI should **NOT** be used within OpenKH. As such, the announcement I have made about OpenKH is hereby null and void.

However, I did promise to develop a version of the Mod Manager with all the features the aforementioned PR had whilst not using any LLMs to generate code. As such, since I am a man of my word, focus will be shifted to that direction until said promise is kept. This will mean Re:Fined is on a temporary hold.

As a compromise, I will also implement extractionless building as a treat.

I will release the latest version of Re:Fined KH2 before I fully commit, and a BETA for Re:Fined KH1 sometime next week to close the gap.

Thank you for understanding.
Keep on Moddin'

It's never too late to stop using AI. It doesn't matter what you're using it for, however much you're relying on it, you can stop. There's nothing it does that can't be replaced by other, better methods. You can always learn new skills, it's never too late.

Do not speak to the BBC if you are trans. Just don't do it. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Even if you know the reporter and they are not an ass, tell them to go fuck themselves anyway because they work for the BBC and their editors will do this regardless of the journalist's intent.
