“Harley!”

“Yes puddin?”

“I need you to dress up as that Sailor Moon character from that Japanese cartoon show.”

“Oh, you’ah so kinky puddin! Ah…Why do you want me to do that?”

“Because I wish to place you on a throne of darkness surrounded by the skulls of our enemies and force Gotham to kneel before you and swear their allegiance to you.”

“Oh puddin! The things you say get me all wobbly inside! But why the cahtoon costume?”

“Harley!”

“Yes puddin?”

“JUST DO IT!!!”

“Uhh… Ok puddin.”

That’s hot.

I mean… imagine being out in the sun like that, covered in all that fur.

I would not be surprised if the real target market is rich preppers who want this thing to patrol their bunker.

“Don’t be evil.”

I wanna go mod Dune 2 to add this as a playable unit.

I feel like the townsfolk would pay Geralt at least 200 florens to get rid of that.

The 1980s YA books Spacebread and Born of Flame are 100% set in this universe.

Any AI solution you find is probably going to be command line / python and is going to require some debugging of your python environment and dependencies to get it working. And that means yes, you will need to separate the audio and video tracks and then recombine them. For that kind of work, I’m only familiar with Linux tools. I’ve used a tool called Vidcutter that is buggy, but powerful and has a semi intuitive gui.

That said, the results from those AI tools can be a powerful game changer if you can figure them out.

It’s gotta be something about being young and gay in San Francisco.

Why can’t they quit layoffs?

Same reason?

I just wanted to do some acid and have a good time man, but no, here I am, screaming my head off in the ER, being restrained by security guards.

The rich go insane because the people around them enable them to believe their own bullshit and set no boundaries with them. This is SUPER bad for humans psychologically and causes us to lose touch with reality. Something in our brains depends on that group consensus to affirm our concepts of self and beliefs and decisions and it loses calibration when it gets crappy feedback.

They’re the people who never would have touched it, because it was too technical, had too high a barrier of entry, and saw it as niche.

Yep. My dad uses Facebook, Reddit and Youtube now. I remember having conversations with him where he was confused about why anyone would ever want to use Facebook and what the point of Youtube is… it just wastes time. When I first exposed him to AMAs I thought he would be interested in, in like 2012, he was like “It’s really cool that you can talk to this person, but there’s so much noise and joking around… how are you supposed to follow it all?”

Now he posts on reddit for help with home improvement projects and watches youtube channels about classic cars and how to fix your garage door opener and talks about stuff he saw his other Boomer friends post on Facebook. He sends me unfunny Youtube videos of AI Deepfakes of Trump and Biden talking about how they pooped their diapers. It’s a weird role reversal, because now I’m like “I’ve left every single one of those enshittified platforms.” But it took him years to get on them. It would take him even longer to get off.

Scratch under the surface of this, you find angry, noisy white boys who think the woke and feminism are coming for them…

“It isn’t especially prevalent in videogames…”

Maybe not THIS millennium…

The corporation doesn’t love you, nor does it hate you. But you possess economic value, which could be made to belong to the corporation’s shareholders.

I’m making fun of it. I am also a libertarian socialist or something.

I don’t care what the science says! I don’t care about the suffering of others! This offends my capitalist sensibilities that I have never questioned and I’m not about to start thinking too hard about it now just because some hippy libs want to sneak communism in the back door!

I have zero respect for this world view and hope we are able to simply bulldoze it with unstoppable momentum.
