I just recently learned that one of Matt Stone and Trey Parker's earliest projects was actually making a video for Dennis Prager.
The murder of Rob Reiner reminded me just how much I fucking hate Matt Stone and Trey Parker. While Rob was using his influence to lobby for a tobacco tax that would help fund programs like WIC, the South Park chuckle fucks were saying “Who’s this fatass telling us cigarettes are bad for us?”

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I'm not complaining or angry about slang but I just am so curious... What the f*ck does 67 even mean? Like, usually a meme references something and even if it doesn't mean anything on its own, it's referring back to something familiar as shorthand.
So what are people referencing...?

996 means grinding 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. Fueled by AI ambition and the promise of glory, Silicon Valley is embracing punishing hours that China has rejected as exploitative.

![FROSTY TOOLS SUCKS
Because it relies on generative AI, a process that hinges on stolen training data, and uses dangerous amounts of energy & water to power each shoutout.
The creator has admitted to using “The Pile” in the FrostyTools training data[1], which includes stolen Youtube Subtitles, Self-Published books and Academic Papers[2], directly stealing from small artists & creators without permission or compensation.
Based on the output from other models, each message from Frostytools can use up to an 500ml (18oz) of water & enough energy to fully charge your phone 7 times.[3]
Stop using FrostyTools. It is stealing work and polluting the planet to shoutout your raiders. Just use a non-AI chatbot instead.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gflevrnbp44fo55twfatwqvg/bafkreigtonkuxsrdeia6n6zjy5v7kb4ohwyeorjfvxmratv2tejhq4dstq@jpeg)
