→ Companies in Mexico embrace AI to resurrect the dead
https://restofworld.org/2024/ai-powered-resurrections-mexico-privacy/
“Using AI to #resurrect the dead has raised #ethical questions elsewhere. In 2020, Jang Ji-sung, a mother of four in South Korea, was virtually reunited with an AI-generated #avatar of her dead 7-year-old daughter. Ji-sung had said this helped her say farewell to her child, but “many #psychologists have come up and said this might, in some cases, make the #grieving process longer,” Rojas said.”

I made myself review both Avatar movies in one day, which was something I had to do to see the progress, or lack thereof of James Cameron. And there is progress. A lot of it!

NEW AVATAR SHOW IS CONFIRMED TO BE IN PRODUCTION.
The 4th paragraph contains mild spoilers (the setting of the show). The rest is okay.
Can anybody point me to the origin of this "#silhouette" #graphic? I see it used quite often e.g. as an #avatar, and I'd like to know more about it.
Image searches do not seem to reveal a lot of info.
Boost appreciated.
Whoever made this pigeon icon has my adoration. I saw it used for some product called WP Mail SMTP.

@ctietze When I did my #avatar image, my focus was not that people recognize me from real life.
Instead, it should provide a recognition factor for this account, ran by this particular person (whatever he looks like). So it also can easily be distinguished from other accounts. Therefore, the slight blur and the unusual green background which is actually a bathing towel.
For that purpose, it doesn't need to change and should not as well.
If my focus shifts, the avatar image might change in the future. So far, I don't see that coming.
It's amazing that people go out of their way to put this film down.
It was never the Godfather or Shakespeare, it's a good simple story told through the canvas of SciFi.

P.S. - I'm experimenting with a few ways to share my comics on Mastodon. I've seen this method of "individual panels, then full page" utilized a lot, and I kind of like it. What do you prefer?

Korra S02E14
I still think the whole losing a connection to Ravva was a stupid move, but it presented an opportunity to... clumsily address that maybe Korra was insecure and only felt like she was awesome because she was the Avatar? Would have been nice to have seen more evidence of that through the season. This "moment" just felt like it came out of nowhere and just kinda doesn't have any impact as a result.
Oh... and now we're doing spirit kaiju battling. I'm... Ok. Sure. It's all very epic and fighty and fun to watch... but it feels so unearned.
Like... Jinora's coming down and flashing light and waking up Ravva and... I don't understand how any of this makes sense.
How does an absolute spirit novice like Korra go full spirit kaiju and stand toe to toe with the fused dark avatar guy? What did Jinora do? How did she know to do it? Why is Korra still cut off from the other avatars?
Korra keeping the portals open... I like that move. I can't help but feel it shows how Korra's physicality affects how she interacts with the spirit world. She's not great at being all spiritual, but leaving a link between the physical and the spiritual that can physically be traveled to and through just feels like something that would make sense to her.
Breaking up with Mako... I like that move too.
Maybe the next season will give me answers, but I'm glad this one is over. It was miserable.
Korra S02E13
God... I'm always struck by the art and animation in this.
These fights are badass.
Haha! A talking mushroom! I love the spirit world.
Ok... it always bothers me when a hit seems to have a greater impact on the protagonist than it seems like it should have. Korra was kicking so much ass and it was awesome to see. She takes a direct hit from Vaatu and is able to get up and keep beating ass. She gets hit by a water wave and she's basically KO'd just because it'd be convenient for the bad guy to get juiced up. I guess you could explain it as she was worn from trying to seal up Vaatu, but given the kind of writing we've had this season it felt very... again... just because it served the direction they wanted things to go, and not because it made any sense.
The spirit fog with Tenzin and his siblings was... well it was a good idea. Good way to explore more of their backstories... BUT IT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE! Felt so rushed and shallow.
Ah! I remember this part! Where all of the prior incarnations of the avatar are... wiped away? Killed? I don't remember the details. I just remember something about them being gone and Korra never being able to call on them again.
Honestly, I think it was unnecessary and actually cut them off from so many story possibilities. I'll comment more on it when I get refreshed on exactly what happened.
I actually thought it was a pretty good episode... and I kinda hated it. lol. Objectively (as much as one can be) it was good. Stuff happened. The fights were good. The characters felt real. It was fun to watch. Just in terms of the larger meta perspective... it felt rushed and made me wonder just what the writers were going for. Tragic for tragic's sake?
