been very hard at work on the 6.0 version of my vtubing and vrchat avatar
and this is a very special one.
her previous upgrades have just been me making new parts and frankenstein/ship of theseusing them together.
this has resulted in a.. messy model
6.0 has *all* parts remade, together.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

pro tip to make any account unhackable:
when you get alerted that someone tried logging into your account, change your password to "password".
they already tried guessing that, so they're not gonna try it again.

Don’t let CEOs quibble over how much they’re pushing for AI. Regurgitative AI is a plagiaristic poison, to use any amount of it is to use it too much.
They want the concessions, because concessions can creep. Zero tolerance is the only way to say no to it.

Criticizing men broadly is unforgivable, because there are SOME men who don’t do the things you’re criticizing, but using rhetoric that demeans ALL women gets a pass because it’s completely normalized and actually rewarded

I think it’s interesting how if you describe gendered expectations backed by significant data you will be demeaned as a man-hater but if you regularly do stuff like casually using sexist language toward women you’re just considered normal

I really hope some of you all understand why actors would strike before hard evidence of genAI use in certain game titles existed, and why they would do so even outside of the strict purview of a union.

it's pretty cool how the gen ai games i have ignored on Steam still show up in searches, despite me telling Steam to hide ignored games.
i'm trying to find cross-platform games and i see Cloudheim pop up
"Huh, that sounds familiar. Didn't i ignore this for ai?"
YUP
Steam's ignore is just useless.
