“This has never been about politics,”

Coward. It absolutely was, and is, about politics. The misinformation has ALWAYS been political. Countering misinformation is inherently political. As someone who's very existence is considered "political" I politely suggest we drop the apolitical angle and start getting fucking angry and aggressively political. I'm very glad there are organizations out there like his that are doing that work. Just be honest about it.

Thank you.

To add to this, concept art is one of the places I would least like AI to be used in. It utterly fails at being creative and actually creating something fundamentally NEW and the more we use it the more our media will just devolve into remixed homogeneity.

Because the POINT of using AI is to fire all the humans you have to pay. You can't economically hire people to correct the AI work because it would cost as much, if not more, than paying humans to do the work and then you also have to pay your AI vendor.

Ohhh I get it. So MS should make the AI use mandatory and compulsory!

Scientists Say We May Have Been Wrong About the Origin of Life in c/science@mander.xyz

The title is also weirdly phrased to make it sound like science was wrong. Of course science was wrong. The whole process is based on realizing that our past assumptions were wrong. Every time scientists discover something new, it replaces an old incorrect assumption. These sorts of titles are how you get to the "Mainstream media/science is bogus" track.

Dungeon's and Dragons character outfit ideas and feedback please! (mastodon.art)
 

Our D&D campaign is wrapping up after 2 years or so and my character who is a 2 1/2 foot tall Faerie is going to be given some award for service at Queen Titania's court. She needs a dress! I've been using a vtubing set up to play in character for the last 6 months or so and I would love some feedback about what works and what doesn't with this dress. It's very basic at the moment, I have not done any texture work really, it's just a flat colour with a black border. There's no notions or decorations or anything. And I need the model ready for Tuesday so I can't do anything SUPER crazy, but I could spend a couple of days adding some stuff. I'd like to add something to wrap around the shoulders and arms and I have an idea for that, think like a boa but instead of fuzzy it would be a lacy bit of fabric that would drape around and reach the floor after falling off each wrist.

Does the colour work? Should I use a different colour for the accent other than black? Help!

Looking for TV recommendations (beehaw.org)

Currently I have a 40 inch LG that I bought so long ago that I don't even remember, but with where I sit to view it reading text it a little difficult for me. Playing games on it is more or less a no go. I'd also like to upgrade to hdr and enjoy some 4k movies on a display that will let them shine. Accurate colours are something that is more important to me than not. My budget would be CAD $1000-$2000. I sit about 3m away from where the tv would be mounted and I don't have the best eyesight so leaning on the larger side would be better?

I find looking up recommendations on youtube to be pretty difficult. There are a lot of channels that talk about them but they end up only really recommending stuff out of my price range or they conflict with what other people had said about those tvs. Some people recommend the more budget oriented options, others say to stay away like the plague!

Edit: One hard requirement is that it must be usable if it's not connected to any network. The television will NEVER connect to the internet. If I need to connect it to get past a nag screen that is a deal breaker. For all intents and purposes, it will be a dumb tv. As dumb as I can make it. As dumb as they come.
