#I went with “decent”#most of my singing is with headphones on but it feels like I've developed some muscle memory that wasn't available when I didn't practice#it seems fine when I'm singing like little songs around the house lol#I mostly do it as a stim & don't often do it around people so I avoid thinking about the quality

Toby Fox being worried about fans having a negative reception to characters he likes or finds funny (Spamton, Tenna, etc) feels a bit silly given how excellent he is at writing until you remember that a) even the best of writers still feel insecure about things and get anxiety and b) literally everything about the fandom reception to Alphys at launch
#I don't hang out much in the actual fandom so I didn't know this LOL#this extremely tracks because Alphys is essentially What If Otacon Was A Minor Antagonist And Also A Woman#she even has a Snake#was the general fandom reception of Chara actually as bad as it seemed to me because good god#most of my understanding of Chara is from the optional convo where Asriel talks about them at the end of pacifist route#so every time I see a discussion like “Chara is evil :)” I'm like. that's fine you can do that#I'm unhinged forever about the game being fairly direct that Chara was an angry kid with suicidal tendencies#who did love their family (maybe not Asgore)#like why is the demon that comes when people call its name seen as an accurate reflection of Chara when Flowey isn't a 1:1 to Asriel#undertale =

YouTube will use AI to monitor your viewing habits to determine if you're under 18 and require an ID for you to view certain content, yes even if you're in the US.
Now. I have some questions. Like if I watch kids shows from the 90s is that a mark for me being over 30 because it's an old TV show? Or under 30 because it's a kid's show?
Okay question aside.
There's legitimate reasons to have "odd" viewing habits. I for one have chronic fatigue. I've fallen asleep with Youtube's autoplay on and will wake up 3 hours later with the weirdest shit playing (sometimes it's kids stuff).
I'm learning 2 languages. I will watch kids shows in those languages to help me practice and pick up the language. (Muzzy in Gondoland is SO CUTE). But it's really helpful to watch shows that are like "Red orange yellow green! One two three!" To learn the basics like your colors, numbers, days of the week.
Also. Bronies... adults like kids shows. Sometimes they got a really good message like MLP. Sometimes for Nostalgia, I mean Pokémon is still going, and I watch that for nostalgia.
"No, but AI would be smarter than that!"
Is it? Is it really? Bitch if kids want to watch YouTube, that's what YouTube Kids is for. We don't need your 1984 bullshit monitoring our fucking watching habits.
"I don't understand why you're so upset. Just give them your ID." Because I'm a developer. I watch programmers increasingly use AI to fucking program their goddamn software every fucking day. And the thing is AI is really fucking bad at it. It leads to issues like the Tea app leak.
The Tea app was an app where women warned other women in the dating scene about red flag men in the area and they could ask other women if the guy that were dating was a red flag. That app had women upload their Drivers Licenses, and they recently had a leak due to shitty security protocols caused by AI coding causing a legacy database to literally be open to the public, with so security features to keep any old random person from accessing it. All of the data in that database what just... dumped to the open internet. Location data. IDs. All of it.
So, no... I'm not gonna me uploading my ID anywhere BECAUSE I'VE SEEN HOW POORLY SOME OF YOUR ASSHOLES CODE. And by "how poorly you code" I mean you don't fucking code. You just give it to AI and the fucking dumbass system wouldn't know a security feature if it punched it in the face.
Suck my dick. You're not "keeping the kids safe" you're exposing everyone to identity threats.
-fae
#generative AI feels like a global version of when your job installs a shitty software for unclear reasons#& everyone waits quietly until upper management either gets so tired with fucking with it that we go back to the old system#or they unintentionally encourage the rumors that a kickback was probably involved by just letting the problem continue
