The inability to parse the difference between assistive tech for disabilities and not using stolen slop to generate ugly memes every time one has the impulse to type words into a keyboard is what's getting us here. ... what was that about AI decreasing our ability to think critically again?
Hillary MonahanNobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.
absolutely nobody: me walking past the build-a-bear pop-up in the mall today: OH MY GOSH THEY HAVE A SYLVEON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He literally used to have that. I was part of the fan club. We would take him out to dinner. What the hell is he on about?
In case you're wondering how Vic chose to begin his main panel of the weekend on Saturday with his biggest audience, he spent the first ten minutes talking openly about Maxey Whitehead dropping out of the con. Note how much he talks about speaking to Maxey's booking agent, and not Maxey herself.
I passed by a panel at connecticon last weekend that got at least 5x this number of attendees granted, it was a powerful subject that's generated a lot of interest and discussion lately
The focus of the video is mostly on Vic at the front of the room but there is one occasion that we get to see what the back half of the room looks like and uh
I mention the entourage aspect because he specifically in the video footage complains about actors wanting to have entourages. Whatever you do, don't mention to him that his entourage refers to him as the fuhrer.
There's footage of Vic's panels from day one/two. First one has a fair few empty seats and begins with Vic, a man who has his own fan entourage the Risembool Rangers and once tried to kick my friends' panel out of main events and have his panel there instead, complaining about ego in the industry.

I'll just say this: This is a complicated story being litigated in a very messy social platform. Through the '80s and '90s, Anime had waves of popularity, punctuated by waves of rejection and racism. Moreover, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball explicitly died in the US in their first run.
I'll not call this "doing discourse", just contributing a fun story about my adolescence in regards to anime in the late '90s to the early-mid 2000s in south-central rural Texas. Anime was popular... with the people anime was popular with. Outside that, it wasn't. This is a short thread. 🧵👇
One way conservatives have poisoned our culture is that it has become impossible to judge anything on merit or even disagree intelligently without making yourself suspicious to people rightly on the lookout for right-wing outrage campaigns
I had a chance to follow up with an expert I trust on this — the best data we have says other animals (non-humans) should be okay
Matthew Cortland (they)Cyclospora cayetanensis is human specific — bunny should be okay
tl;dr LJ in the Aughts had become a place where Russians were able to organize outside of state control (servers in CA!) until inevitably a Russian banker with "alleged" Kremlin ties bought it. now the servers are... in Russia. And people have been sentenced to prison for blog opinions.
