"I want to ask how your brain is created, what your brain looks like, scan the MRI and see what's wrong." Yuki Tsunoda on fans saying his Dutch GP retirement was orchestrated
"I see the AI Art Is Theft bores are out again. Remixing, referencing, riffing, recombining, that's the entire history of the internet. And of culture, full stop. Clay Shirky documented it exhaustively in Here Comes Everybody. Every meme, fanfic, and parody account operates on exactly this logic ffs." "AI is the logical endpoint of participatory culture, not it's betrayal. That's not theft, that's the internet doing what it does. Their real worry is that the barrier to visual creativity dropped to zero. Which is what they said about desktop publishing, digital photos and Auto-Tune. Wrong then too." "I turned off replies from non-followers months ago and forgot about it. The men desperate to instigate a pile-on for designing to have a different opinion are only reminding me why I did that."
"Now I don't know why, but Morrissey had always hated Joy Division. Maybe Rob got it right when after a lively debate as the cameras were turned off he turned to Morrissey and said, 'The trouble with you, Morrissey, is that you've never had the guts to kill yourself like Ian. You're fucking jealous.' You should have seen his face as he stormed off. I laughed me bollocks off." – Peter Hook, The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club
A cropped screenshot from the 2010 video game 'Final Fantasy XIV: Online'. It showcases a planter; a barrel with different kinds of flowers spread over the top of it. The planter featured here is infamous for its level of detail, in that it had a similar number of polygons to a player character's model, resulting in poor performance, and - eventually - the original 'Final Fantasy XIV' being killed and revived as 'A Realm Reborn'.

Well, I can very definitely understand what the translator was talking about there. Victor managed to go from what was a rather tense part of the story, to talking about a convent, to talking about convents and religion generally. It'd be like me writing a chapter in a sci-fi story, then writing about robots, then writing about why Hideo Kojima and Hideaki Anno need to collaborate. Like, sure, but why is this here?
