Shorts

The cutscene sequences and the little details are just sloppy for GTA6, a 2 billion dollar game. Here in this scene, she has no bandana mask on her or on her neck, and within a 10-second sequence, as she was already driving, she has a mask on. It basically spawned on her face, even as Jason puts his mask on himself. She makes no moves to put on a mask before she floors it... and it's just another one of those implausible continuity issues that's jarring to see. It's a "state change" without the animation happening. These kinds of issues, along with animation, SFX, etc are ALL OVER the extended look trailer, and this is what the team thought was good enough to ship for the official look. Yeah, it's nitpicky, but that was the bar and expectation that the developers set for us, and IMO it didn't meet it.

One thing about the open source community is that there is a certain kind of weaponized autism when it comes to... "physics". Even if the original model is pretty good with it, "pretty good" isn't enough. Some want it over the top, with anime aesthetics that make the physics often look a bit ridiculous. But it's these kinds of things that move video technology forward. Not cute animal videos, not images of landscapes, but rather the cringe and often embarrassing. its the same energy that moved traditional animation and video tech forward, and today it's moving with AI.

NyaraVT is truly obsessed with kids. He is obsessed with specifically "trans kids" in the context that he thinks kids should be groomed and given HRT and puberty blockers early, because he thinks it's "cruel" to allow trans people to go through puberty. Trans kids never exist outside of being groomed. The literature supporting it is all from delusional progressives who are biased, often projecting their own ideologies into areas that do not belong. Any who do "socially transition" as youths desist by the time they are adults, often as much as 90%+ For example, kids do not understand sex when they are 4. Anyone implying that kids are "trans" is just a creepy adult who is just projecting adult framing of sexuality to a child who is exploring the world through play. Any adult who tries to label their kids trans based on early play behavior, by 'teaching' the child sexual play, is by definition grooming and child sexual abuse. At best, this causes iatrogenic harm to the child and leads to lifelong mental and health issues even without any overt CSA. Of course, the reality is that puberty isn't optional. It is a biological and physiological need; without it, these people grow up with endless mental and physical health problems. The Cass review and many other critical studies show that puberty blockers and early HRT do not produce the "positive outcomes" these trans kids activists claim that they do. Even before modern times, historical child psychiatry and sexology are rife with data problems, scandals, controversies, and actual child sexual abuse incidents. Anyone still trusting the data of these "studies" blindly should be ignored completely. TLDR, Trans kids should not be a thing, and anyone promoting it should be treated with extreme suspicion.

Yesterday, this was probably one of the strangest interactions I had with any content creator on the internet. Now I really like Asmongold, but this take has always been his consistent L. What started as a post critical of his take ended up with a "debate" on X, nitpicking details like sample sizes and whether the hentai was opposite-sex or that it was "real research" vs literature reviews. He ends up ignoring or dismissing studies as not relevant or insufficient, doubling down on his gut instinct that attraction patterns to fictional child-like features must overlap with real world pedophilic ones. Same emotional shortcut moral panickers have always used... "Violent games make kids violent." "Rap music causes gang crime"... same with D&D/satanic panic, comic books, heavy metal, etc., that was common between 1980 to the 2000's He ignores all the data from the national crime statistics from Japan or the Czech Republic, how Otaku culture is emeshed with loli tropes... or that Japan is lolicon central, and yet has one of the lowest CSA rates. The separation of fiction and reality is clearly segmented for healthy adults, and they compartmentalize it just fine. That's why video game violence or horror movie splatter fests don't ever translate into real-world violence. The studies that do find correlations with offenders suffer from massive selection bias, where they test convicted pedophiles who already consume real-world illegal materials. These studies don't predict the behavior of the non-offending consumer base. Same line of reasoning as saying most school shooters played first-person shooter games, and then trying to generalize FPS games as problematic. The reason why I talk about this so much, despite hardly interacting with lolicon content myself, is that the same "intuition" has greased the slippery slope of censorship, creating the regulatory mess we have today with video games and media as a whole. That WHOLE RED TAPE allowed the injection of woke, DEI, and other kinds of garbage, as the people regulating them tend to be the exact karenocracy being run by middle-aged foids that Asmongold is always critical of. It's just totally disappointing as I expected him actually to look into the data, but instead defaulted into "gut level intuition mode" that so many moral satanic panicers fell into.

Suno is limiting downloads, basically making a lot of the songs you make locked in their 'walled garden'. One of their main competitors, Udio, did the same thing after a settlement with UMG that restricts any downloads. This is 100% an injunction from the music labels who want to limit the "damage" that AI does to the profitability of music. There are two viable alternatives... >Minimax music 3.0. It is currently free to use up to 500 songs a day as long as your account qualifies for beta testing their music model, which should be anyone. It is a closed-weight model, but there are no restrictions on what you download and how much you download. The music quality is not as good as Udio or Suno, but it's pretty close overall, and it can understand very complex prompts to guide music generation. >Open-source music is not a very good alternative... but right now SongGeneration-LeVo2 is the best AI music model that's open-source right now. The music I put on the post is one such generation that I created on my PC. The problem is that it's hard to use. The comfyUI version requires installation on a separate portable install, specific transformer and flash attention versions, and additional libraries installed. The required models and checkpoints are scattered around Hugging Face, and some of the links from the original repo are dead. There are not many English guides, and most of the training data is in Chinese, so it struggles with English lyrics. To some extent, the demand for music generation isn't that high, compared to images and videos, so overall not many alternatives are around.

Asmongold lays out a perfect argument about the disconnect between awards and credentialism vs the actual performance of the games. There are so many "woke" games that won so many awards in garbage categories that no one cares about. The only ones that do are not gamers, and obviously never translated to sales or even excitement for the games. As he laid it out, these woke awards shows were just a shield against the accountability of capitalism, which obviously never worked. The entire ecosystem ignored the "chuds" because they wanted to create an industry where they could "change" the player base, making them less toxic, less masculine, more kind, more gay... Chuds are meat eaters, and the industry tried to sell us vegan meat. No matter how you repackage it, or how you color it up, or how many celebrities say it's delicious, at the end of the day we want to eat meat. ... and that MEAT? Well, East Asian games from China, South Korea, etc have shown us what that meat actually tastes like. Indie and AA developers for Expedition 33, Helldivers 2, Hollowknight showed us how lacking bloated AAA development really is. At the end of the day, you can't gaslight the audience on how 'good' the game is when it obviously looks like garbage, plays like garbage, and the narrative is garbage. You can dip feces in the most delicious award-winning chocolate you want, but it is still poop, and it is gonna smell like shit. The funniest part is when the woke defenders are constantly just eating shit and pretending it tastes delicious to "own the chuds".
