Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Pro AI people who want to answer a post from an anti AI person should check with AI first: "Please summarize these skeets because I won't read all the words" "Does this response address their actual points or things I imagined" Anti AI people should not answer posts from pro AI people at all

My take on housing is that straight white people will happily sort themselves into discrete areas if you build a ton of housing everywhere (Note that everywhere includes the neighborhoods where straight and/or white people are currently a minority)

RABID BAT FOUND ON SIDEWALK
On Tuesday, September 15 at about 12pm, a bat was found on the sidewalk on Hennepin Ave between N. Washington Ave and N 3°St.
The bat died and was sent for rabies testing. This bat tested positive for
rabies.
A woman was seen crouching by the bat and putting it into a bag. She was described as a 25-to-30-year-old white woman, about 5'5", with curly brown hair and a curly-haired golden retriever-like dog. If this was you, please call 911 and ask to be connected to Animal Care & Control.
Bites from bats are tiny, may be painless, and may not leave a mark. An person who had physical contact or touched this bat should talk with health care provider this weekend for assessment. During the week, Minnesota Department of Health can also provide rabies assessments at 651-201-5414.
If vou did not touch or have any contact with the bat, you have no risk of rabies and do not need shots.

If you're a tech person and you think AI today is raising any new questions about consciousness you're just doing the tech person thing of plowing ahead without doing the reading and claiming you've done something new that has actually been around for millennia

Yes, AI companies ran with a bunch of "we will take your job" messages that probably backfired. But AI fans have adopted a bunch of disgusting rhetoric too. Anyone uncertain about AI who goes looking for clarity sees a ton of this.

The right-wing Christianity that came out of the 1980s and 90s? It was all pedo shit and we should feel empowered to say that no, I fully reject those kind of family values because they harm women, children, gay men, and everyone who isn't a sexual abuser.

Permutation City is a novel where simulated people go to simulated parties and spin up different versions of themselves to best interact with different people, getting summaries of the interactions later. It was published in 1994.
