doodle paaagggee of lansoni bc they’ve been on my mind man
i got two tropes i like about them!
1. the whole bit where sonic is conflicted asf bc why is he falling for his rival in a different font?? is his shadow actually a softie too??
2. not only was sonic dropped into the whole black knight dimension, so was shadow. lancelot’s missing (couldn’t come up with anything else maybe shadow actually killed him) and shadow took over his role. blah blah overall sonic rules camelot with shadow by his side to keep up the guise,,, love blossoms over time all that cheesy shit
ima draw the second one out more once i get the time but like,,, can you see the vision?? two souls stranded in new world with new fates type shit??? fallin’ in love with the familiarity of the other?… no? bars

I feel like the big push for AI is starting to flag. Even my relatively tech obsessed dad is kinda over it. What do you even use it for? Because you sure as hell dont want to use it for fact checking.
There's an advertisement featuring a woman surreptitiously asking her phone to provide her with discussion topics for her book club. And like... what. Is this the use case for commercial AI? This the best you could come up with? Lying to your friends about Moby Dick?
One of the big pushes tech companies are making for AI is entirely in the tool of convenience. Take Gemini for example, one of Google's really big pitches for it is in features like Help Me Read and Help Me Write, which are like the lowest tier use case for deep learning models but are also the two AI features that the average consumer will actually care about. Sure they advertise the GenAI stuff Gemini Advanced is able to do, but they've woken up to the idea that the average consumer does not care about GenAI and non-AI Bros fundamentally loathe GenAI.
Every company with a language model got sucked into the venture capital pitfall of AI and now have to market the one set of features the general person actually cares about.
I work in advertising and the culture shift surrounding AI even from January until now (end of March) has been drastic. At the beginning of the year, the company I work for was using AI to design most of their assets. Clients started coming back and requesting that we no longer use AI generated images or videos for copyright liability reasons. Basically, there's no way to tell whose art or photography was scalped to make an image, so as companies who are trying to make a profit using potentially stolen images, it puts them in a gray area, legally.
Also, companies do look at their comment sections. Anti-AI commenters on social media ("this is not a real image" "I don't trust companies who use AI" etc) are seen by higher ups of a company. Basically, keep bullying brands who use AI, it's working. Now my company uses almost no AI for deliverables, which is a huge win.

Please sign the petition!!!
So I checked up on this case, and it turned out his sentence was reduced…
to 55 years.
55 years for a unsuccessful burglary, theft, and the murder of a friend that was killed by police, when his only crime was breaking and entering when he was 15 years old.
This is the most up to date article I can find on it: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-lakeith-smith-65-years-idUSKBN243246
As of March 2023, his sentence was reduced to 30 years. I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but if you can even just spread his story, please do! It makes a difference.
his petition is still sitting at 911,000 out of a needed 1 million signatures. maybe if we start spreading the word again we could get some justice for Lakeith

The BBC is releasing over 16,000 sound effects for free download
THIS will be sooo good for my soundboard. Those online sessions are about to become even better :D
First music, then voice modifiers… Now this. Perfect.
Also, I’m pretty sure it can be used for a lot of other activities.
Yay, no more Soundbible!
For any content creators who’d like it!
