Good evening, dear friends! It's been a little while since we last added a staff member, but I'd like to proudly introduce our newest addition, !!Pinkie Pie!

You all may know !!Pinkie Pie better as "Noelle."

We like to think it is best to continue to put moderation into the hooves of users who contribute to and have a stake in the site! And Noelle has not only been a long time contributor to Ponyville, but a cheerful presence and good friend to all.

I think so too.

• Lowered the line between fingers and palm, so that the thumb-tip is just a bit above where the index finger connects.
• Tucked in the corner of the wrist.

I may need to resize the finger joints, though.

I also made the wrist, or "base" of the hand thicker. Given I noticed the wrist is thicker than the palm itself.

neat

i should say ai can be an expert in the sense that it may be able to understand and cross-reference current knowledge better than humans but as it is not sentient it cannot create anything new

would note that mathematics is probably the field in which ai would do best right now because it is purely abstract, requiring little (if anything) in the way of human correction. compare this to how ai may simply combine language (and be influenced by whoever is designing the filters) to give advice -- far less abstract and prone to error as it requires [more human understanding]

...a good tool to have -- once refined, it means humans can focus more on being human and can let ai do most of their [logical reasoning] for them

I'm more concerned about what humans will do/are doing with AI than what the AI might do, Spreading paranoia by saying "The AI did what humans told it to do", or "AGI is gonna be here any second now", and/or implying that AIs are going to go Terminator on us the first chance it gets is really just doing free advertising for AI companies, and I don't believe for a second that they see it the same way. AI fearmongering is just another form of AI hype.

Agreed.  I think almost everything said about AI is overblown, one way or the other.  Though perhaps that's just how the world in general works these days.

Ah, you're right, I apologize.

I'm not really confident humanity's gonna make it too far.  We're at a crossroads where a whole lot can go wrong if we don't gain control of the wheel.  If we can delay it long enough that we get people even just on Mars, though, then I think we end up mitigating a lot of risk.  We've gotten pretty good at keeping most of Earth connected, which unfortunately means it's easy for negative things to travel along those connections, be they viruses, nuclear missiles, or rogue AIs.

But so far, we can't even land on something like Mars with a great deal of success, and the first colonists won't have nearly the direct connection potential of Earthlings back on Earth.  My hope is that space colonization becomes economically feasible, but interplanetary missiles do not.

It's *easier* to have a bad diet as a vegan, but being vegan does not automatically equal having a bad diet. You actually *can* get all your required nutrients in a solely vegan diet without taking supplements, you just have to actually know what you're doing.

I just found out Season 4 is out. Why aren't you watching this alternate MLP universe about the magic of friendship, now (in Season 4) starring Alicorn Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle as Rozemyne?

>>1210611
Yes, I believe so. The similarity is quite interesting.

Both Twilight Sparkle and Myne are obsessed with study and books (and inventions, I think -- although Myne might like them a bit more), and they both always end up winning battles due to the magic of friendship (or often her new family (similar to friends in Myne's case)). Twilight has a horn which shoots a rainbow to win, while Myne has eyes that turn rainbow-colored to win.

Twilight has Spike as an assistant, while Myne has Ferdinand as an "assistant," although he is perhaps more like the Spike from G3 right after he woke up from sleeping. Both Twilight and Myne make friends and solve friendship problems wherever they go.

The mane difference is that whereas Twilight is in perfect health and lives in basically a utopia, Myne isn't always feeling well and must additionally navigate a complex, oppressive society (having previously only lived on Earth in early-mid 2010s) with a lot of arbitrary and unfair rules that she has to overcome. As the societal structure is based around magic and such, the world could be viewed as perhaps a very early (or early-alternate) version of Canterlot, as well -- perhaps even before the Elements of Harmony were discovered.

So, in a way, Twilight was sent from Canterlot to Ponyville to make friends, while Myne was sent from Earth to this world to spread friendship, -- similar to Season 5 but less explicit. ...

I also like how prominent the colors that Lauren Faust originally chose for Twilight Sparkle are throughout the anime ....

Howdy fellows!
Ponychan's finally back up, so I thought I'd make a little crosspost for any of the stragglers still hanging around.
Rather than just link to the site generally, I figured I might as well make something.

So, here's a little crosspost for you guys of the newest little Book Club!
Swing by, say hi, and give me your book reviews.
I don't sleep anyways, so I promise to check 'em out.

In the last year or two, I have taken to listening to audio books while I draw.

I just finished the original "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" novel by Gary K. Wolf today, and it really is interesting considering how different it is from the film we all know.

It is still largely a parody of two fisted detective tales, but that actually works in its favor since Eddie Valiants' colorful narration is often used to describe literal cartoon characters and outlandish scenarios. It's also a much darker story withh a completely different case -Jessica is much more morally grey,I the racism allegorier with the toons are more pronounced..  I really enjoyed it overall.

Apparently, Wolf rather likes the movie a lot more than his own book and actually wrote two books that work as sequels to the movie rather than his own story. I might track those down, too.

But yeah, this was in interesting experience.
