Wait, he didn’t just try to claim copyright over AI created material… he tried to claim the AI could copyright it?

Lol. Lmao, even.

If the refrigerant on my fridge leaked and they refused to fix it, I’d sure swear off their ACs too, yeah.

ASUS annihilated the possibility I’d ever buy any ASUS product after the way they handled the 7800X3D/AM5 VoC issue. I had never really noticed, but a pretty big swathe of my tech came from them (laptop, monitor, and motherboard among others) but no more.

I remember idly wondering how DMs worked in Lemmy, and I was kinda shocked when I realized they aren’t secure.

Nothing about that looks like AI to me, beyond the uncanny valley feeling and the eerie lighting. The wallpaper and tile alone would be a big headache to get that consistent, especially with the mirror there. Same goes for the pattern on the clothes and the anatomy (hands, anyone?).

Similar situation on a larger scale, party was gathering Macguffins to stop the impending abberant-based apocalypse. One of them allowed us a roll on the d10000 Wild Magic table once/week. Some party betrayal happened, and a fight broke out over the artifact. The betrayer finally grabbed it and activated it.

DM rolls. DM gets a 10000. The result is “the stars were right!” which apparently is a reference to the Cthulu mythos about the apocalypse beginning. Cue table meltdown as the DM has to improv the sky opening and the horrors descending an IRL month ahead of schedule.

We just hit 100k users today; wasn’t it <95k users yesterday??

.world’s 40% growth on July 1 blew me away. Really convinced me this place will be the next Reddit in time, in the way we used to know Reddit.

The fact the user experience has gotten smoother and more responsive on top of that is just insane. Huge props to the .world team.

I love the experience so far, but god, do I crave my niche communities.
