Remember you guys could have taken a tiny step against genocide and chose not to. This is your legacy when it comes to genocide

Really incredibly disappointed that you guys are saying yeah what’s going on in Gaza is awful but we don’t care and we’re gonna break the bds boycott cause we can’t be bothered to be slightly inconvenienced. Especially disappointed in Leo who has been otherwise very good about Palestine.

With Faceminer, I'm a little confused by it. It had a generative AI disclosure where it states it used AI to generate images for the game, but also that its critique of AI. If anyone who knows more about the game, Generative Adversarial Networks, and the FFHQ dataset can help me out here I'd really appreciate it. I'm kinda getting lost in the terminology.
