It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

One thing that has been lacking with AI generated video up to now has been emotional performance from our Gen AI characters.

I think we are starting to cross that boundary.

Meanwhile me this morning on the phone with my bank:

"AI": What would you like help with this morning?

Me: "Mobile banking."

"AI": Okay, I understand you would like to check your balance, did you know you can do that online at blah blah blah

Me: "Mobile banking"

"AI": Okay, I understand you're having a problem with your password, did you know you can reset that online at blah blah blah

Me: "Mobile banking"

"AI": I'm sorry, I didn't get that

Me: "Mobile banking"

"AI": Okay, I understand you would like to check your balance, did you know you can do that online at blah blah blah

Yes AI is really doing great guys it's totally almost sentient I swear it's one more data set away from fully replacing humans.

By the way when I did finally get a human they fixed my issue in under a minute. Well, of course, after I got sent to the wrong department first. Great job AI!

Fascinating language choice

Making a breakthrough

Exciting, optimistic, obstacles have been cleared and a bluer sky awaits

Crossing a boundary

Threatening, sense of the irrevocable, the sanctum has been opened, the Rubicon crossed, conflict and tragedy drifting on the air like ashes from a distant fire

The retreat back into the cave is quite the thing to behold.
