The infamous "WET YOURSELF..." Super Mario Sunshine print ad is often posted online without context, leading many to believe it is fake or fan-made. However, it is very much real, appearing on page 130 of issue 119 of the British Nintendo Official Magazine.

I Couldn't See Him Behind the Pole He Wants To Make Art But He's Too Incurious It's Not "According to Legend". There Is No Legend

its just like. the way the titles are just "one singular point quoted out of context and more annoying" is just so perfectly engineered to piss me off. renaming the melanie martinez video "She Made it Sound Like she Has an Omnichord on the Ceiling"

Not the first one to say this but PC Music were the ZTT Records of the 2010s. British indie labels run by a genius producer and genius graphic designer making ambitious super modernist pop music, falling short of their own standards of success but influencing pop music in the years afterwards

But PC Music was from an era where producing and distributing music was basically free, whereas ZTT nearly bankrupted themselves and fucked over their own artists trying to make the art they envisioned as an indie label.

Super resolution is an ill-posed problem; there's infinite possible outputs for a low res input. I think his method assumes too many things to reduce the search space, and he shouldn't claim it's "solved". But he's not being engaged with because people reasonably assume he's a a clueless grifter

I dunno, it annoys me that something potentially interesting is getting buried because the creator has horrible founder brain and doesn't realize that people will pattern-match AI content to the AI-enabled scams/grifts they're inundated with every day

Bluesky is Medias Touch + furry diaper porn + CWCki for Will Stancil. To compensate, the algorithm must be near-perfect at surfacing the tiny communities that aren't those, but it's not even as good as the For You feed, a basic canonical sm algorithm. That's bsky's issue, more than missing features

as funny as the jokes are i'd rather not that furry cons become this

The University of Indonesia economics department is publishing research on why furry conventions might be better than LinkedIn for professional networking

putting every version of every LLM in the Death Note but the only one that goes down is Grok

i don't think it's even a little bit alive but i /would/ still write "chatgpt" in a death note just to see what happens

aware that i am doing an ad hominem but i don't like how callout document-shaped that report about erin reed's ai use is she's not the first journalist accused of using llms. but something feels off about her, and only her, getting what's nearly a whole research paper written about it

Even if everyone attending Slutcon was perfectly well-behaved and understood consent, a convention where nearly everyone involved is in the same industry in the same area will inevitably become a place for networking. You don't want a sex con to be a networking con.

We’re on blorbo. Gluppi is banning porn so we’re moving to bleepo. Sign up for me tushi instance. Bleebo got bought out by fascist tec bros so join my gloobi server. Nvm gloobi is demanding your personal information and now it just had a data breach. The admins of Blooba eat people

Traditional or Simplified.... hmm, I'll go with Traditional, those Chinese love their traditions after all

it annoys me that the novelty American Century of Humiliation hat is written using the Chinese lettering that mainland China doesn't actually use
