Pansexual bomb threat; I'm/Him

Let's talk about monsters. I'm not talking about fictional monsters. I mean the real ones; the ones that lurk beneath the smiles of friends and family. We all have monsters inside. Some of us embrace the beast beneath our skin, others fight tooth and nail against it. 1/?

Aposematism is there to warn off predators, not sexual partners. If you’re repelled by it, it’s working.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear.

And he said it without being anti-AI.

Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected.

Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet.

The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA.

And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked.

Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product.

The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches.

What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it.

Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next.

Those are different jobs.

US Senators should be paid whatever their states minimum wage is. That’s how you represent your constituents, you live like them.

@Akakumiu Where would one acquire such an outfit ... And is there a shiny variant?

[ً @wynrosei]

So... just so we're clear... you want me to be afraid of trans women in the women's bathroom because they might be cis men pretending so they can assault women and children... and you think this reflects on... trans women... and not on cis men?

Do I have this correct?

Y’know what’s REALLY gonna suck about this live action remake (aside the fact this is being made at all)? There is no way in HELL they’re gonna make Hex be as Horny AF like in the original 😭

Omar Sharif, born OTD in 1932.
Most people think of him in David Lean epics. My mind goes to Omar stuck in a crushed car in Top Secret! (1984). It's a series of "repeated assaults on his dignity", yet he was described as a “total prince” on set. Of course he was, he’s Prince Ali

@alfkkifine When "I" mention that it happens to men too, I'm referring to the fact that men also victimize other men. Because it's not "just" that bad. It's actually worse. Most victims of SA regardless of gender were assaulted by men. Usually men within their own race/community/family

@xXAutumnIvyXx I fully thought that was Alan Ritchson 😅

[nyara @nyaraVT]

Quick reminder that statistically speaking, this will harm more cís women than trans women.

This also forces ALL women to adhere to gender expectations and perform femininity for men.

This is cruel. It doesn’t help anyone except men in power.
