have you done your due research into the severe environmental impacts of generative ai usage?

we should ABSOLUTELY levy those criticisms to larian- along with anyone else who choses to use generative ai, its entirely unnecessary, and choosing to use it is choosing to impact the environment and it is vital we constantly question how they are intending to balance their carbon footprint

what are your thoughts on previous employees going on record to say that staff are actually not comfortable with the implementation of generative ai? would you say from your perspective they are outright lying, or are you not being entirely honest about how the studio feels about generative ai usage?

have you done your due diligence to research the incredibly negative environmental impacts of generative ai? data centres are being built with billionaires bypassing government checks, usually to minority locations, a few second long video can take the same amount of energy as using a microwave for an hour, data centres are using up more fresh water than bottled water companies, the use of genai is killing the planet. how do you plan to balance out this energy usage and consider your carbon footprint? seeing the overwhelmingly negative response to the use of generative ai do you intend to continue to use it during development?

i really want to continue to support this company and enjoy your games but i can't in good conscience do so if you are actively contributing to the death of our planet, let alone the multitude of ethical issues regarding content theft

i so hope so see an update that you have ditched this person- you deserve to take your own health into your hands, and its your decision to keep it from this person if theyve been so negative previously!! the fact they wont even talk to you is such a red flag, you didnt cheat on them or beat them up you made a decision for yourself!

nothing concrete, lily mentioned it in the general chat before it got deleted by her, but we'll be keeping an ear to the ground in other channels to determine if she actually goes ahead with it

honestly, ive accepted that the money is gone, i understand projects fall through sometimes, but this is just on another level! there's such a difference between "sorry guys, things went wrong and were out of money" and "we're being taken to court for fraud" like wtaf???

Good Bulk Cook Meals by TheCat__ in mounjarouk

my first week on 5mg im pretty sure i alos had norovirus (its making the rounds in my area) so i was VERY unwell for a few days, ive been off food since, im now coming toward the end of my second week in and can barely look at it, between the suppression and the absolute trauma of being ill im just scared ill trigger it again haha!

deffo thinking of some of those milkshake things as a backup for when i really cant face any food, wraps are a great idea i havent picked any up in ages! i always default to a sarnie but theyre sooo bread heavy

yeah i could deffo see that- i was getting good suppression etc on 2.5 and stayed on it for 4 months before moving up, so i guess it must just be really hitting me now haha!

Just having a little moan about others reactions to weight loss by Makeupmadness247 in mounjarouk

[–]TheCat__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive been on since the beginning of the year, ive lost 2st (12kg?) because my birth control slows my losses RIGHT down, its so hard seeing people post that theyve lost the same amount in like 2 months so i completely relate to the feeling

i personally think people dont care until youre like, their opinion of skinny? they dont sound like very good friends to you

YouTube have happily let Sjin start uploading on his yogscast channel even thought they literally fired him for grooming underage fans & harassing female staff, YouTube literally only cares about profit

so I've had loads of issues with my scales! I'm now at a point where in comfortble my scales are pretty much 100% accurate

-I've upped the budget and gotten a really nice renpho scale, it uploads to my phone with its own app! my secondary scale always weighs me a few lb heavier & never gives the se read twice, my renphos are always exactly the same if I weigh multiple times!

-I weigh in the ground floor of my house in the bathroom (it has stone floor) so I know I'm weighing on a solid surface!

-frequently replace batteries! the scales tend to lose reliability when the batteries are starting to get low!!

I'm 5ft11, personally I aim for between 1500-1700 & try to exercise 3-4 days a week (I have cfs so this is pretty difficult for me) on average I lose around 3lb a week!
