Petals of reincarnation is the other series beside Fate where this sentence make sense: "Mary Shelly tribute summon Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot to fight Cyrus the Great"

Moo Principle #540 - I just successfully completed a high volume optimization session. It's all about streamlining processeses and making room for the next big challenge. Time to prioritize inputs to fuel massive movements which will synergize the shift of the interior paradigm.

People call AI (hate this buzzword) a "plagiarism machine" out of anxiety, but I just watched a video where HIMYM used classic scenes from Seinfield and Friends and repurposed them to a different narrative goal, and it was called a homage and a reference. Plenty of tropes in literature appear all the time across different works and worlds, become mainstays of the genre, but not plagiarisms of the original work.

In those works, the origins of those tropes are not explicitely stated, nor, I am sure for most of them, did the authors took the money of their royalties to support the original authors, who may have been long dead by then.

I really dislike how people think that by fighting LLM, disparaging agents etc., they are fighting against corporations and "The Man". No. They aren't fighting. And certainly not against "The Man".

AI (ugh) is an amazing tool that could help people from many places receive personalised, high-quality, anytime available education, where they couldn't before. It changes art by shortening the gap between idea and execution. Now it's more like a process of getting an idea and then iterating to a desired outcome and subtly tweaking it, a higher level proces than before.

Its funny seeing new people coming into Fateverse saying Rank EX is the strongest ranking.

EX is literally just immesurable, in a sense that it can't be calculate due to some weird shits. One thing could be EX because it is so overpowered. Another EX means that "it shouldn't work, but it did". Then there is the situational EX, it could be the best at one point and the worst at another.

My sis has turned into one of those crazy BTS fans that keep track of their idols agency, bday and all events and stuff. She once forgot my bday but somehow knew when her idol was sick to post a get well soon message for him.....

:meowsip: An error I noticed in many fictions with an European medieval setting, knights were first and foremost a social caste! Not a profession!

Actually, knighthood is a profession, a title, and a caste.

As a caste, knights ranked below barons in the social hierarchy. They rarely owned land and people to rule like the nobles above them.

As a title, knighthood was usually an honorary title for citizens who had rendered services to the kingdom, especially in war.

As a profession, nobles often served as knights. They would join war if the king called them. Even high-ranking nobles also participated in war as knights.

Thus, knighthood can be interpreted as a caste, a title, and a profession.

:blob_frown: This is an anachronistic interpretation. Too many errors to pick them apart individually. Anyway, by the high middle ages, the stratification was already well pronounced.
