Romacrunch - Roma's Random Rantssss

this is my first post on this site, and:

do you know how much this feels like the first page of a sketchbook? this is the one that proves to you that you can be creative and great for the whole book, or if someone is looking at it: it’s their first impression of that part of you you channel through your art. it’s disgusting to see that go to waste by messing up a line, right? well, i did the maths. literally everyone is scared of doing it. no matter whether i see a masterpiece on someone’s first page, i know that the person who made it must have put so much thought and care into it. we all strive not only as creatives, but as humans, for perfection. but, we never attain it — that’s what brings us here, either finding an escape from our journeys on a blogging site, or trying to share our creativity with others.

if you think this is a whole load of cringe, my blog is literally titled ‘roma’s random rants’. you cannot stop me, for now i am here! and i shall find my way back to creation and artistry from the dark paths of art block!!! muahahaha!!!

not the fucking elevator pic 😭 capcom is evil for this fr

ace attorney fans have three (3) jokes:

almost christmas

2. updated autopsy

3. parrot

and that’s about it.

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

this is MY FAVORITE GAME

thinking about technoblade lately

WALL-E tweets I made out of boredom. Please know none of these are to be taken seriously

I just want to say how much I love how anime writers came up with the idea of ​​a Signal Samurai and the idea of ​​showing the trio as children. Now Miles' obsession with Steel Samurai is not only a funny trait of the seemingly serious and cruel prosecutor but also his escape to a happy childhood with his friends. I remember one post (or comment?) where the author interpreted Phoenix's keychain being more worn as a sign that he wears his heart on his sleeve, while Miles' is treasured because he's afraid to open up to other people and keeps his heart on lock. But then Miles starts wearing his keychain everywhere and isn't afraid to show it off no matter how embarrassing it is and it's a sign of him healing and becoming a better person. I really like this theory and although know it won't happen, I would love to see the Signal Samurai in the games.

Obsessed with the trope of when the Heroic Sacrifice does not work.

When the character fails to heroically sacrifice themself and now has to face all the loved ones they were about to leave.

Or even worse, the character does sacrifice themself, but it doesn't fix the situation. So those left behind have to face not only the grief of losing them, but also knowing that it was in vain.

aw man it’s so prettyyyy

“almost christmas” means it wasn’t christmas!
