ALAKAZAM A multi-limbed, three-headed variation of this Pokémon. Thank you @valerialoves.bsky.social for the commission! #pixelart #ドット絵 #GameBoy

4-color pixel art of a variation of Alakazam, a Pokémon that is the final form of Abra. This variation depicts him with three heads and six arms. He is a humanoid with fox-like heads, a very long mustache in the forward-facing face. He has thin orange limbs and thicker bluish sections of armored chest, forearms and knees, and wide lower legs. He is wielding spoons in each of his hands, one in front of his chest, one by his knee, two up by the heads facing to each side, and two just off the canvas and lower. Colors are reddish black, midtones of desaturated purple-blue and lighter orange, and a very light purple. Colors in the background like four of the limbs and the two heads facing to the sides are mostly in blue and black colors

when i was working as a translator the few times i was asked to polish up a machine translation i literally just scrapped it all and started over. i'm 100% positive this ended up taking me way less time than if i'd gone along with the client's idea. the pay is awful, too!

This is what they want with the increased console costs and removal of physical games btw They want you renting every game, paying by the hour, with only them deciding the costs. We have to push back.

Something similar will emerge around AI where the onus is once again placed on individual responsibility and personal choice, rather than structural and systemic regulation and accountability.

Because “Reduce your Carbon Footprint”, while still a worthwhile effort, was essentially an astroturfed advertising campaign by BP to have individuals reduce their personal emissions through lifestyle choices while the oil industry continued to expand fossil fuel extraction infinitives.

i finally read that Vulture 'Feed is Fake' article about paid clippers, virality and all that and, discourse aside...what's really sticking with me is how many people have adopted the same Tech Company 'you're about to get left behind if you don't immediately pivot to whatever i'm selling' line.

I think Twitter was a “right place, right time” situation in its prime but now all social media has been weaponized as a disinformation campaign, so it’s not so much that bluesky is worse (it’s better than x is) it’s just that everything is worse, and it’s harder to cut through the noise/nonsense

This is the take I keep coming back to. NVIDIA is going to vomit on itself to impress shareholders and that's fine, that's what corporations do, but I'm hurt by how much Digital Foundry has lost my trust over this. It feels like the worst parts of "access journalism," it's PR disguised as reporting.

MTPE (machine translation w/ post-edit) is just another tool of people who think this way. They don't know and have no way of knowing if their TL is accurate. They stubbornly insist generative algorithms produce reliable work that just needs a little spitshine, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

A single comic panel of Sonic the Hedgehog reclined with one leg crossed over the other and a speech bubble over his head with much of the text erased so it reads "I want games made by people and I'm not kidding!"

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads. They're fucking right too. Tech has just become rent seeking bloatware.

Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl introduced an evolution for Tangela named Tangrowth. You cannot catch Tangela or Tangrowth natively in Diamond or Pearl at all or even via dual-slot mode. The only way to obtain it legitimately in these games is by trading or transfering Tangela from a Gen III game.

I don’t know how people can be aware of the environmental tolls of AI and the QoL impacts data centers have on the real humans who live near them. And still use it, even for work. I genuinely don’t understand. How can you accept this as the new norm.
