Cassian Andor? He was the most insane man alive. His mental illness is legendary.

“you can tell it’s bad because it’s a thing China is doing”

Relative to the money furnace that is “AI” even AWS is cheap

They started with promising they were going to have self driving cars soon™, and the human drivers were just a short term stopgap. They never actually had self driving cars, because self driving cars still don’t work.

Most of those techbro startups before “AI” had actually pretty low costs of running whatever their core service was. Mostly just running a website to do some evil kind of labor arbitrage. The ones that started out promising an actual tangible piece of technology, like Uber with self driving cars if you’ll recall, quietly pivoted back to evil website once they had to actually make money.

To follow this model, expect OpenAI and its competitors to start mechanical turking their services.

The 360 era just kind of looked like shit in general, in retrospect. Not so much for technological reasons as much as just the style at the time of smearing brown over everything.

I’m doing a huge mod list with a wormhole to a distant system and lots of advanced engines and stuff

Damn, I was kinda looking forward to Subnautica 2, the first one was great and BZ was a bit of a disappointment mostly because the seatruck sucks.

I got back into KSP which is why I’ve barely posted for the last like two weeks

Fighting games got to spend processing power on stuff like jiggle physics because they’re doing so little, just two character models and a tiny stage.

Yes, pretty much. Vtubers stream like other streamers but show their models instead of their own faces, and lots of them do karaoke streams or even original songs, which leads into the concerts. Graduation is retirement either from the company that owns their model or from streaming entirely. In the former case, they may pop back up later with a different model either streaming independently or with a different agency.

For an example of Miku’s licensing, probably the most famous Miku song is “World is Mine” which was written by a composer named ryo and performed by his band Supercell. I’m not sure exactly what deal was struck between their label, Sony Music, and Crypton Future Media, the makers of the Vocaloid software Miku is the mascot and most popular voice of to make the concerts. Anyone is allowed to use the Miku character for noncommercial purposes with attribution, her image is CC BY-NC.

Hatsune Miku is a digital musical instrument, a piece of software which allows people to generate singing in a robotic Japanese voice by manually tuning each note. This is different from “AI” voice song generation because it actually requires work and skill and predates it by at least a decade. The blue haired character is the mascot of this piece of software, and the company behind it uses that mascot in various tie-in products like video games. There is no specific real human behind the Miku character.

Vtubers are like twitch streamers, but they’re behind a fancy mask called a “model” which is animated by face and/or body tracking. Each one corresponds to a specific real human. The big/popular ones are part of agencies, generally out of Japan with corresponding Japanese-style workplace abuse. There are also people who do vtubing on their own, and generally have much less detailed and less animated models, all the way down to just bouncing a png of a face when they talk.

Yes, live performances by both are just on a screen, but with the other things I’m told people like about live events, like a big soundsystem and a crowd of fellow fans.

One of the ones with funnels to really get the space autism powers going

I don’t think he’s really online enough to know the problems with Destiny despite being a youtuber

Gotta make some room for the switch 2 oled to improve on for another hundred bucks or so

1970 was over 50 years ago.

I don’t think I’ve used a pen of any kind in years. What little hand writing I do is either with a 0.3mm mechanical pencil or a stylus into Xournal++.
