The latter is true, and something I experienced firsthand towards the end of my tenure with my previous employer, and while those casino articles were eventually removed, I have a screenshot, so you can’t fool me.

I hated seeing my reviews & guides right next fucking gambling shit😡🤬!!!

A screenshot of now deleted casino/gambling articles.

How long before it is AI writing those same casino/gambling articles? Last night I was confronted with my first AI ad on YouTube. Skipped as soon as I could, but those few seconds was really cringe. And if you guess it was for some health woo, you would be 100 percent correct.

Formative does some heavy lifting here and seems to ignore time growing up in the US.

Happy birthday! May your special day be as bright as your smile.

And a toast to many more successful baby steps..

Had a quick look at the github page, but.couldn't find the answer. Will this run independent of RetroArch or Libretto?

Marius Loots @mariusloots.bsky.social · 2d

With peripheral reinforcement of history, ethics etc.

Marius Loots @mariusloots.bsky.social · 2d
