Just say that you are tired and exhausted and feel hopeless and want to give up. It's okay. Everyone feels pretty fucked at this point. Just say what you feel.

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

The Al part of developing concept here is literally replacing reference searching.
Instead of searching books/Google you generate an example. I think the misunderstanding is that people think
'develop' means 'paint'

Expedition 33 shipped with GenAI assets (that they quietly updated) plus they literally just admitted to using it.
If Sandfall gets a pass, but Larian doesn't then what the fuck are we doing here?

The reason the default player chacter name in Baldur's Gate 3 is "Tav" is because the boss, Sven Vincke, has a dog called Gustav.
