Of all the 2D Mario platformers, I can't decide if Super Mario Bros. Special or Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is the absolute worst one.

Do people actually like Sheen? Like, divorced from Planet Sheen existing as a bad show, is there merit to the character on his own?
He’s not like the best written character in fiction or anything, but I remember liking him fine. He had his moments.

Then again I haven’t watched Jimmy Neutron in years. Maybe he’s awful and I just don’t remember.

I'd love to see a Godzilla film set in the Feudal Era. Hell I'd settle even with a short animated film with a unique water-colour-art-inspired aesthetic.

It can go two either ways.

Basically a prequel regarding the Odo Island legend with it being the Godzillasaurus, potential prequel to Minus One.

Or.

Godzilla is depicted as a "mythical dragon".

Also, also. Godzilla vs. Yamata-no-Orochi (King Ghidorah). Especially since the latter was King Ghidorah's inspiration.

The idea alone of samurai taking on Minus One Godzillasaurus. That would be dope as ****! The story could be a village under attack by invading forces so they lure them into the area Godzillasaurus lives and G erradicates the forces, pseudo-heroically saving the village. However, this causes Godzillasaurus to expand his territory, seeking out others who may want to harm him so the villagers need to devise a way to appease him, which leads to the Odo Island legends.

I can picture a legion of samurai on their horses on a cliff overlooking at a monster rising from the sea. With heavy rain, wind and lighting! Ghost Of Tsushima but with Godzilla as a threat!

Back from Athena's video, and it just confirmed my thoughts that Trollz with Z is Cringe, and Trolls with S is Peak.

Okay the two Trolls with S cartoons weren't the best but the creature design was immaculate

Lmao Vic Mignogna's lawsuit finally concluded and he has to pay nearly 4 times as much as he owed with an 18% intrest rate, right when Persona 3 Reload comes out. More like Stupei, Ace Defective
I lost track on Vic’s stuff, but how much was he having to pay beforehand? Cause if it was a lot then hot damn

My friend group was dunking on some game getting caught using AI art, but


Man the Reddit thread they linked to in their discussion made me lose faith in humanity

View attachment 384030



I legit cannot understand people like this.
"I'm not even pro-AI art"

I don't think this person understands anything about what can be considered "art" to begin with.

I’m kind of interested in seeing where AI generated content could go, but that’s only because I’m a Star Trek fan and have been dreaming of the holodeck since middle school, and that is ai generated content in that universe.

Look, all I’m saying is if we could live in a world where I could use a computer to take one of my word document level game ideas and make it into a playable experience without having to actually know how to code or model, I think that’s a good thing.

Ignoring the fact that a world like that would push people out of jobs, sure.

I love this Isaac mod NGL


I feel like every Isaac Youtuber has that exact same mod lmao

I feel like I'd like AI-generated content if it was actually generated from scratch and wasn't just mishmashing copyrighted work without permission.

Typing this as I watch TNG, there are a million steps that need to happen before we get Star Trek-style Holodecks

(namely nuclear war that nearly destroys civilization before rebuilding itself as a post-capitalist utopia)

I mean, when I imagine this process in my head I imagine doing work to make a project. Just in a different way and with a different tool. Like it’s not gonna magically spit out exactly what I want on the first go so I’m gonna have to spend time with it, testing what it puts out, tweaking aspects, making changes. It’s still a process. Like I’m not gonna go all pro-ai art on you because the way it’s being used now is not good but like… making it easier for more people to make art at an amateur level, I feel, is a good thing. Even if corporations are going to add it to their already long list of excuses not to pay people.

And like, some people will still want to do it the old way. Photography didn’t kill painting. Plenty of people still paint and draw and do all sorts of older forms of art. Despite what people may tell you, video did not kill the radio star because people are still making radio dramas (mostly in the UK but still, it happens). The easier/newer/more accessible thing won’t get rid of the old thing completely because some people will still want to do it the old way because they like it. But that also doesn’t mean we should stop new innovations from happening because we’re scared of potential consequences

And yeah, cloning people’s voices is scummy and there should be laws against it.

I mean, even the stuff made from the human brain is just a recombination of all the stuff it’s seen and heard. Everyone is copying someone else to some degree. Different people are just better at hiding it and better at mixing things together to make it seem like something new.

I don’t even want the actual holodeck necessarily. You actually have to like… exercise and **** in there. I just want a computer with it’s capability of generating content to my request hooked up to like… a screen and an Xbox controller.

The difference is that people still have to actually put effort into that. If I write a fanfic inspired by another IP, I still have to put in effort to make it my own work. Now compare that to telling ChatGPT to do the same.


Artists already have it hard enough making a living, the fact that there's a very real possibility that big corpos and whatnot could very well push them into an even more dire state because "Why would we want you? The computer can do it for FREE" is frankly sickening.

I’m not saying there aren’t problems with how things are being handled currently. And honestly I feel like just typing in a prompt and giving the results to your superior without reading what it gave back to make sure it works, doesn’t have mistakes, and is actually kind of what you’re going for and not just nonsense, I agree that that’s bad. That’s what most people assume using AI to generate content is supposed to be in its ideal form but I don’t think it is. Like if you don’t even proofread the damn thing you’re doing something wrong. You might need to do multiple drafts with the computer to get it to work. But if you’re not going through the process then yes, it’s scummy.

Not everybody should be expected to have to acquire talents they just don’t have in order to make the art they want to make. And not everybody should be expected to have corporate ceo levels of money to pay people to help them in the areas they fall flat. The way I see it, this is a way to help in that area. Yes, there will be problems along the way but those problems are caused by capitalism. Not AI generated content being inherently bad.

I dunno dear.


So far in this AI boom, I haven't seen a single thing good come out of AI, period.


Between AI voices being an EXTREMELY dangerous tool if put in the wrong hands(CoughPOLITICIANSCOUGH)

Numerous cases of AI deepfakes putting people's faces where they absolutely shouldn't be

AI "art" stealing from artists and just looking bad in general

Countless theft cases of AI going soo far as to steal entire videos of other content creators and plagiarize their ****



Yeah, you're not going to convince me that this is a good thing.


If AI is to exist, it needs EXTREME levels of limitations and laws around it, but in the hands of big corpos, I'm severely doubting that.

Hey what the ****

Kamen Rider Geats didn't even end 6 months ago and it's getting a blueray from Universal?!


Also I do not trust AI due to the amount of porn people make of random women and a more recent development to make 'immoral' women dress more conservatively. If this technology needs to exist for AI to advance then it should burn along with everyone who doesn't think it's ****ed

Video didn't kill the radio star, sure, but radio is a shadow of what it used to be. People don't sit around the radio anymore and listen to the nightly anthology series, in fact you're probably only having a radio in your car unless your alarm clock has one built into it.


I'm not scared of AI being this "new" thing and "New = scary", I'm scared of all the ****ed up things it brings with it on a scale like we've never seen before. Even the internet took a little bit before porn started being circulated on it.



The amount of just gross and abhorrent **** AI has shown it's capable of doing THIS early in its life is not a good sign, at all.



AI came out swinging with funny things like Dall-E Mini and making video game characters say funny things

And then it feels like almost overnight it was being used to slap celebrity's faces on naked pictures or make people say defaming things that they never said. Not even to begin the whole debacle about AI "Art" and the longterm effects it'll have on artists and them getting work.



I'm sure AI can have its positive use cases but, man, it's just bad after bad right at the start.

So I'm gonna be the devil's advocate and defend AI for a little bit: I think AI is a bit of a buzzword nowadays and people keep thinking AI = automatically bad. There's more than AI than meets the eye. The one most people are worried about is called generative AI, that's the one that's mostly a mishmash of copyrighted material and does deepfakes and the stuff. That's the one people worry about and yeah for good reason, jobs have been put in jeopardy and people are worried for privacy, safety, and misinfo given deepfakes. Governments primarily are monitoring that kind of AI.

Now, that's not the only kind of AI used, and thanks to advancements in AI, fields like medical fields have progressed very well. AI there isn't used to replace doctors (obviously), but it can be trained off the medical data provided to them and be used to help assist on a diagnosis, sometimes much faster than a human can. Most AI uses something called Image Analysis. But the big thing here is that it doesn't replace doctors, but rather, assists them, and doctors need to be smart and atively make sure their properly utilizing the AI.

In addition, AI has been used to cut down on repetitive and monotonous tasks that even artists and animators should take a look into. The Spiderverse movies were one of them. Training the AI on their own and frames, they were able to properly generate a lot of repetitive frames of the movie instead of having to redraw Miles every time. It was, again, a tool used to supplement and not replace them, and they got paid and cut down on the hard and tedious work.

Guess what I'm trying to say is that when properly used, AI can be used for good. It can supplement people's careers and make things better for others around them if used wisely. You don't hear about the good usage and how AI can improve quality if life because we're flooded with mobs of horrible AI art and ChatGPT writing prompts with people trying to pass it off as their own despite it being trained off preexisting material. But not all AI is bad is what I want to get at here. The issue is the people and corpos behind the prompts have 0 idea how to use it and use it as something that can endanger the lives of many, but forget the human aspect that's still needed in so many jobs. It's best when used to supplement and help, not replace.
