Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

This isn't cheap, so it must be the ass part.

Yesterday, Google chose to remove Doki Doki Literature Club from the Google Play Store. Their explanation is that the game’s content violates their Terms of Service in its depiction of sensitive themes. DDLC is widely celebrated for portraying mental health in a way that meaningfully connects deeply with players around the world, helping them feel heard, understood, and less alone on their journey. Managing to achieve that—making a truly meaningful difference by using the power of fiction to connect to others—is what I’m most grateful for. It inspires me every day to keep making cool new things, things that can really reach others, especially those in need of connection. DDLC is available on many different major platforms, including iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and more. We’re continuing to do everything we can to find a path forward for getting DDLC reinstated on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, we’re also looking into potential options for alternate methods of distribution on Android devices. We worked hard to bring DDLC to Android, and we’ve gotten to see so much love and enthusiasm from passionate Android users over these past few months. Thank you so much to the community for continuing to express your love and support for DDLC through the years. We’ll keep you updated on the future of DDLC for Android. - Dan Salvato and the Serenity Forge Team

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

A box says parasol medical with a picture of a red and white parasol. Parasol is another word for umbrella.

Oh... Oh no!

OpenAI funding fears hit memory chip prices Spending cuts at OpenAI have hit memory chip prices as fears grow about the tech company’s ability to fund its expansion.

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

Fuck off with the AI. God damn.

Did my phone have a stroke

A place for freaks.

There are voice actors who will voice your stuff for free.

Imma repeat myself for any Dev/Creator that is considering AI.

THERE ARE VOICE ACTORS WHO WILL VOICE YOUR STUFF FOR FREE.

Signed, a voice actor who did voice act FOR FREE for almost NINE YEARS.

Don’t make excuses. Stick to human talent.

r/marketing u/Objective-Feed7250 Gen Z can spot lazy AI images and it’s hurting conversion rates Discussion New consumer trust report came out. 78% of Gen Z can identify AI generated images and will scroll past them. Been running ads for an apparel brand targeting 18 to 25 year olds. Our CTR dropped 40% after we switched to AI generated lifestyle shots. The images looked fine to me. Models wearing the clothes, decent lighting, no obvious errors. But apparently Gen Z can tell. Went back to real product photos and performance recovered. Not fully but better than the AI stuff. The report mentioned things like lighting inconsistencies and unnatural shadows. Stuff that’s not obvious unless you’re looking for it. AI images probably work for some audiences but not others. Older demographics might not notice or care as much. Edit: for graphics and layouts i use X-Design since you control the inputs. But for photography targeting younger audiences, real still wins.

I find this completely believable.

I’m on the top end of gen-Z but I find people in my age group and younger spot AI imagery instantly and it’s often taken as an indicator of corporate insincerity.

Meanwhile a lot of older people I know can’t tell the difference and workplace management pushes it.
