just saying i still think releasing an ai video generator to the public is a horrific idea, heck, making it at all is just incredibly reckless. we’re still trying to grapple with the tsunami of low quality ai slop images that have infiltrated almost every corner of the internet from search to social media and of course turbocharging misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda into the stratosphere. ai video that is as good as sora is the death knell, it was already becoming difficult to detect ai generated images and text, and now we’re just going to make video as hard to trust. governments won’t be able to react fast enough to control it, nor do i think they care. we still haven’t properly regulated big tech around various things like social media to smartphones. and i simply don’t trust openai, they had all these limits for chatgpt when it launched and yet people jailbroke it numerous times, google told people to put glue on pizza, microsoft thought it’d be a genius idea to record everything you ever do on your computer, adobe decided it owns everything you create and fed it to their ai to vomit out some slop for people on facebook to believe is real. i don’t think sora should exist, the cons massively outweigh and all pros in my view. i get that sora is still limited at the moment, but i simply don’t trust them. chatgpt spat out whatever you wanted by giving a jailbreak prompt. people will work around sora’s restrictions, i don’t think we’ll like the results.
for the Scratch version of my Jaguar refresh, I made a little outro slide with the leaper and me stealing parts of da-ta2. don’t worry it’s totally okay, da-ta2 is a massive dork and deserves it.
you will not believe how often people don’t realise that i’m @da-ta on here and also on scratch. what’s funnier is that on scratch i link to da-ta on auriali and people still don’t realise, and the amount of trolling i’ve done pretending not to be da-ta is glorious. i’ve also mentioned that i’m da-ta a few times here (that’s why i only follow da-ta on this account too lmao)
fyi the beef with da-ta is totally real, i can’t believe that dork has more followers than me on here and scratch, he takes forever to post anything and isn’t even funny like wtf
Today is my Scratch account’s 4th birthday. Kinda crazy how fast that time flew by, and how much Auriali has changed. It went from a secret Scratch account to a meme account to a meme account on Discord too and also now my alt wasteof account to share all the dumb things on my mind. So thank you for all the support you’ve shown my dumb meme account in whatever form it’s taken.
To concide with Auri’s 4th birthday, I’m releasing AuriGPT, the most advanced Artificial Intelligence system ever devised. With a mixture of deep learning, machine learning, generative AI and some other doohickeys that I have no idea about, AuriGPT is the latest and greatest AI model. Intuitive, helpful and witty, AuriGPT can understand natural language and respond cohesively without hallucinations of any kind. Trained on an organic neural processing unit (my brain), AuriGPT is proficient in anything the user may need help with. Need help with starting your next writing project? Need some coding help? Or just a general question? AuriGPT is here to help!
Check out the totally legit AI chatbot that totally isn’t mocking the plagiarism machines that are LLM’s here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1104006592/ (give it a go I think a lot of the responses it can give are funny).
GNX is a really clever move from Kendrick Lamar, he showed how not like us wasn’t a fluke, and that he can make bangers that don’t rely on him dissing Drake (IDK why people thought that was the case considering HUMBLE. and most of the rest of DAMN. is pretty catchy). On top of that, he also stopped folks who were saying he shouldn’t be getting nominated for awards off of just diss tracks by releasing an album out of nowhere without warning, and it’s good.
It feels to me like GNX is a spiritual successor to DAMN. which makes sense considering GNX follows up the pretty heavy and conceptual album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers and DAMN. also followed up the even more heavy and conceptual album in To Pimp A Butterfly.
Also I just love to imagine how insane Kendrick looked when he yelled "MUSTAAAAAAAAARD” in the booth lol.
having quit twitter entirely since the uk riots has done wonders for my sanity and general happiness. it was a anger machine designed to make me frustrated enough to keep scrolling just to feel emptiness once i closed it with no satisfaction or any sense of being informed.
Happy to announce a bold new direction for the Auriali brand. With a bespoke new font, I’m ready to “Copy Something”.
Carmaker Jaguar looked at PayPal and said hold my beer because they’ve just dropped the strangest rebrand of the year by a mile (pun not intended). The new logo reads like JaGUar and removes what is known as the “Leaper” aka the Jaguar icon, relegating it to being on the cars themselves with a weird new design that looks like scan lines being placed on top. On top of all that, they released a new advert that contains no cars and rather models wearing brightly coloured clothes that you’d see at a pretentious fashion show. It is truly perplexing for a car brand that has been around for decades with such heritage to throw it all away. The chief creative officer of Jaguar Land Rover (parent company) said to reporters the team had “not been sniffing the white stuff — this is real”. This is a downgrade on every single level and I cannot fathom any logical reason for this kind of rebrand, its meant to be a transition to making only fully electric cars, but I’d argue it’d be more effective to build upon the existing well known brand than throw it all away to just come off as out of touch and generic. This looks like something I would’ve made back in SVE in like 2016 lmao.
I cannot be contained, I am now ranking Windows versions. Here are a few things to note:
I am only ranking versions of Windows that I’ve used for a good amount of time. I’ve rarely ever used Windows 95, 98, or any other MS-DOS version of Windows. Windows XP is a year older than me, so I mostly missed the era of Windows 9x and started from using computers from XP onwards.
I am not scoring down versions for limitations of the time period or things that have got worse with time. It’d be unfair to call Windows XP slow when it was fast for computers in the 2000s, but it is fair to call Vista unstable as that was a common issue for many people upgrading from XP to Vista at the time.
I will only give credit for new features or improvements that the OS itself made. It’d be fair to say that Windows 10 improved the start menu compared to what Windows 8 did, but it’d be unfair to credit Windows 7 for introducing the Aero UI design when in reality Vista did it first but didn’t get the credit due to computers of the time not being powerful enough to handle the translucency effects.
With all that said, here’s the list:
