cursed fact: Adobe Podcast's "Enhance AI", a tool for noise removal and voice boosting, firmly believes that any audio you give it *must* have human speech.

If you upload, say, vocal-free chiptunes playing on a Game Boy, it will *find* the speech.

#LLMs are a fucking scourge. Perceiving their training infrastructure as anything but a horrific all-consuming parasite destroying the internet (and wasting real-life resources at a grand scale) is delusional.

#ChatGPT isn't a fun toy or a useful tool, it's a _someone else's_ utility built with complete disregard for human creativity and craft, mixed with malicious intent masquerading as "progress", and should be treated as such.

It's fun when games contain their own playable retro version, either a demake or a previous series entry. Often this is accessed by interacting with an old computer, console, or arcade cabinet within the game world.

You know what'd be really funny though? A demake accessed from the settings menu by putting the graphics slider ALLLLL the way down.
