We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected.
From this day forward, we have a union!
In order for me to write poetry that isn't political,
I must listen to the birds.
And in order to hear the birds,
The warplanes must be silent.

@vivilotl at a certain point, especially dawntrail, tanks basically dont need to be healed so they can take a double pack and clear the dungeon instead of wasting peoples times lolll. anything past heavensward is just pure cope to not double pack
@vivilotl had another tank (i was on tank as well) yell about this in another alliance and say "hey my friends want to see the whole dungeon" and then it turned out the only one who hadnt done the AR was my friend in vc who was one of the two doing the pulls lol
@Kesswylie the game looks like ENTIRELY stolen assets too, so it just looks to me like they had a bunch of devs with no will to pay any type of design artist
I used to dislike hearing this, but it's the truth.
Once while I was playing off-stream, I popped into a streamer's chat after facing them to say gg, and got instantly banned. It was just a regular game to me, so I was confused. I went back into the VOD to understand why I got banned, and witnessed him raging at everything, verbally wishing death on myself and my duo, and even sitting in the corner of the map screaming that they want to kill themself. It was incredibly jarring over what felt like a very chill game from my side.
Obviously this is an extreme example, but this idea that your own attitude has an impact on your experience and enjoyment of the game is true. Stop looking at every occurrence in the game as annoying, unfair, or an attack against you. Start appreciating your opponents' good plays (and sometimes good luck) and just enjoy yourself. If this feels impossible for you, then maybe you just don't enjoy the game and it's time to move on, but I have faith that a vast majority of people would benefit from trying this.
I am becoming progressively more worried for our humanity due to extensively terrifying improvements to AI generated content media.
From blatant misinformation to even the recent commercial adaptations of AI (acquisition of Suno into the music industry) WHICH NOBODY NEEDS.
We need artists to thrive - not feel discouraged.
Please be weary with what you see or hear online, contemporary media feels like nothing is real anymore.
AI sucks and we need to stand up against it.
