I want to remind that, despite billions of sessions and hundreds of terabytes worth of data over half a decade, generative AI tools have produced at most five (5) culturally significant works.
All of AI's "contributions" are things humans can do better with less effort and time.

Youβre not gonna believe this but Paul was ALSO the bad guy in the book
Chani being rewritten from a submissive colonized woman to an actual character with depth and convictions is a massive improvement and we need to stop pretending that the entirety of the Dune books have aged well. They havenβt. And Denisβ interpretation and reinvention of Chaniβs character is an unequivocal improvement and thinking otherwise just reads as a dislike for women characters having autonomy and nuance in writing.
While I'm Duneposting, I'm gonna say something a lot of post-COVID Dune 'fans' don't want to hear:
Chani's rewrites in the new Dune movies don't make Paul the bad guy. Nothing about Paul's motivations or the enemies he fights changed, nor did anything about the existential threats mankind faces in the novels for which the Golden Path is necessary.
Paul still overthrows a corrupt empire. He's still opposed by degenerate pedophile cannibals. The Fremen people were still oppressed and lead to freedom by Paul. He's objectively a morally righteous hero. The Landsraad refusing to accept his rule necessitates the war, and his slaughter of his enemies is entirely justified.
Chani being against this doesn't make her the good guy who recognizes Paul has fallen. It turns her from his strongest supporter in the novels to a bitter malcontent who refuses to accept change and her people's freedom. Who would turn on her lover for her own selfish desires and views rather than embracing the bigger picture like she does in the novels.
Villeneuve claimed it made Chani the real hero, but he turned her into a villain. Though honestly, such a character is a perfect role for Zendaya. It fits her personality.

Itβs going to get worse but we are rapidly becoming a society of two types of people, ones who can function normally the way people have for thousands of years, and the other who have intellectually neutered themselves in the delusional belief that it is to become more efficient

"Elon Musk says" is consistently the start of a sentence that ends up being one of the stupidest things that you've ever read in your life.
Elon Musk says Neuralink will allow humans to communicate with animals by 2028.

whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this
what we create also creates us

Reposting this in the wake of the debate of sex and nudity in horror. The desexualization of American media is a symptom of Fascism that makes it easier to police people's bodies. Anyone complaining about seeing "sex" everywhere in film/tv/games isn't living in reality.

have read so many takes about bottom surgery from people who have never had bottom surgery today that this app is making my brain bleed so hereβs mine: the biggest surprise to me eight months after is how normal my vagina is. itβs straight up just a vagina guys. it looks like any old vagina and feels like one and works like one just fine. i have no pain and no complications and yes i can have orgasms and they are amazing. gender affirming surgery saves lives and anyone who wants it should be able to get it and if you have thoughts about what someone should or shouldnβt do with their own body you should shut the fuck up
I really hate that the twitter meta right now is just asking stupid obvious questions that anyone with half a brain could answer. I know it's just ragebait to get me to interact and by god am I tempted literally every time. Fuck it all
All of these games are in the same category lmao

Conservador se lamenta de que las cosas no como antes pero a la vez defiende sistema econΓ³mico que por abaratar costos de producciΓ³n hace cada vez peor los soldaditos de plΓ‘stico. Cuando una civilizaciΓ³n se guΓa por valores econΓ³micos, obviamente declina, eso es el capitalismo.
