"(...) algorithms do not see the world with mathematical detachment but instead tend to replicate or even amplify historical cultural biases. (...) Experiments by WIRED using the official photos of 10 men and 10 women from the California State Senate suggest the study’s findings still hold. (...) Google’s top suggested labels noted a smile for only one of the men, but for seven of the women. The company’s AI vision service labeled all 10 of the men as “businessperson,” often also with “official” or “white collar worker.” Only five of the women senators received one or more of those terms. Women also received appearance-related tags, such as “skin,” “hairstyle,” and “neck,” that were not applied to men."

Sure, let a bunch of Silicon Valley incels shape the world we live in, what could go wrong?

I love Le Guin

People need to learn to see the world as a positive sum game. Anything that benefits one of us, benefits all of us. Anything that disadvantages one of us, disadvantages all of us.

It’s that simple.

fucking with a moose is a mistake you can only make once

You can tell that video games have been elevated to the same level of artistry as movies because both of their biggest budget offerings are fascist propaganda

Skeletons all have a "flame" inside of them that can be destroyed (with great difficulty). This flame is tied to the Elder Flame, the great fire that was started by the necromancers who came to the calcic planes and tried to remove their souls from their fleshy bodies creating a soul giving agglomeration of magic (The Elder Flame)

"Nekros, isn't this just the First Flame from Dark souls"

....Shit
