  • We’ve already seen dead actors being brought back through AI usage, I think Val Kilmer was one of them. She might not have the most unique looks but even I can recognize her; someone stealing her likeness to make sales is very possible and would have huge repercussions, especially with how culty her base can be.

    Ultimately it should be thoroughly illegal if someone hasn’t opted into it and the legal battle should be telling the people who used the likeness should be told to go fuck themselves.








  • For sure, but it’s the rate at which the French use them which always blows me away. And I know I shouldn’t have to say this, and I know it will be ignored anyway, but yes obviously this isn’t every single French person.

    I remember a specifically bad example from a person who was, if I remember correctly, introducing their website where they would speak in French and you could listen for practice. Great, sounds good. Except! I couldn’t follow them because they couldn’t pass three words, maximum, without a “uhh”, “beuhh”, or “eeeuhhh”. It was an extreme example, but I think about it all the time.

    It all reeks of trying way too hard to hard to convince everyone how laid back they are but they’re some of the most stressed out people I know. I have to wonder if it’s the fact that I live in Montréal so we get a fair number of Parisien.nes here.



  • “Cars are bigger here!” Is definitely one of the worst ones. Especially when we largely have the same cars and the truly big ones won’t work.

    I had a really weird dream lastnight where I almost got a Challenger Hellcat for basically free but I’d have to trade my BRZ for it. I don’t drive much as it is, because I live in a city with transit, but I’m very proud that dream me refused the trade in the end because it would have been a nightmare to find parking. Also they’re automatic, but that is unrelated.








  • All to get to a job that is actually taking a hit by requiring employees to be there for more than 6hrs a day and to which you spend way too much time commuting. Not to mention that there’s a good chance we’re literally built to have varying sleep schedules, originally to watch for predators, so half the population is just getting completely fucked because the only people we consider valuable are those whose day starts earlier.
