Im i the only who thinks the Decepticon insignia looks more menacing and cooler in metal compared to the classic purple design?

Im i the only who thinks the Decepticon insignia looks more menacing and cooler in metal compared to the classic purple design?

I am really a fan of movie design insignia compared to the original purple design in most media’s. Something about the logo in scratched metal appearance looks quite menacing and a reminder of what enemy you’re facing as a autobot or other faction. To me it makes me more intimidated unlike the original, but thats just my personal opinion on the 2007/movies logo on the decepticon insignia

Your favorite brand could potentially be banned from sales in the United States

Yesterday The United States Senate Commerce Committee approved legislation on Wednesday to ban sales by automakers with more than 15 percent ownership by Chinese entities. This means any brand affiliated with the chinese will not get sold here.

Volvo just got banned from selling in the US due to their relationship with chineseowner and the same will be for brands like Mercedes, aston martin, bmw and many others that might have above the 15% mark. So if you’re looking to be a new car from any of these brands there might be a price increase in these vehicles to due high demand and no offers of latest models entering the US.

My own opinion: This is most likely because of Chinese vehicles massive sale increases since 2024 - 2026 and the US hates competition. This reminds me of the chicken tax since there are almost no light trucks sold there anymore because of tax increase of them. This is just a more unfair version of it as many brands might have to back out of their relationship with the chinese that could result in those brands losing money and cutting cost like stopping production of certain cars, fire employees and more. I dont see how this will benefit the US other than they want to make everyone only use american related stuff in US.

Are the Nissan cvt’s actually decent or do people not know how to take care of them?

I have heard people say: “Oh nissan cvt’s are terrible.” or “CVT’s are the reason nissan is going bankrupt”. Despite the things said about nissan cvts being crappy. Do people actually take care of their car or is it the older cvt’s that are bad? Im not from the US but from Europe. I do know that there are a lot of nissans in the US and they have a lot of cvt problems there. I feel like it could they are badly designed from the factory, people not taking care of them or they are actually just not great compared to their rival cvt’s.

Just curious to know from owners with cvt’s or Nissan mechanics

AI isnt harmful to you if you know how to moderate ur time and health with it. (Yes i will fight for this argument)

Not to long ago a 14 year old named swell who was inlove with a AI chatbot from character.ai has ended his own life as the bot itself request him to join her in their world together. there also the Tumbler Ridge in canada where a mass shooting happened 5 months ago of a here’s the issue, the shooter had their chatGTP account banned by openAI months before as employees of the openAI were concerned and debated to call the cops on them but the leadership of the company didnt wanna call the authorities on them because “the account activity did not meet their threshold for a credible or imminent plan for serious physical harm” translation🔀: (they probably didnt care). there are many other deaths/crimes linked to AI but here’s my issue with this:

Problem 1:

as a parent you are tasked to protect, moderate and take care of your child. In this case how has she not noticed his screentime on the apps he’s using or what he has been doing recently. Its sad a 14 year old died but the real people we should judge are the parents who are suppose to moderate their kids on their phones or other devices. if u havent havent or never noticed how different your child been acting or even checking on their phone to see if they been doing anything weird you are objectively a bad parent and this is the consequences you face and it is NOT character.ai response of the death of a 14 year old. Should c.ai look closer at what their AI models say, yes but the real ones that should moderate are the person using the app or the parents of a young child.

this exact situation is literally parents and news outlets pointing at videos games like COD and GTA for making people commit crimes like murder, theft, escaping the police and many others (almost no crime has been linked to video games).

Problem 2:

Mass shooters or any shooters in general like school shooters are most of the time linked to bullying since elementary or middle school, mental health, losses of loved ones, romantic jealousy or rejection, anger or easy access to weaponry. Sources: (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10435045/). In this case the perpetrator by the name of Jessie Van Rootselaar had interest of violence and repost of the infamous transgender school shooting at a Christian school. She had even an account to “watchpeopledie.com”. In her life she been using drugs and her mental health have gotten worse. The cops have visted her a few times but the last time they visted her of reports was back in spring of 2025. Assuming she discovered AI somewhere in august - okt meant she can find and use easy information of famous shootings of how did it happen, who did it and what did they used and where they did it. The cause for the crime most likely happened due to her bad mental health, drug use and insane interest into gun violence. Assuming her friends and family didnt help her much is most likely what turned her into a shooter from openAI despite them not endorsing into this type of stuff. Guns should also be more restricted especially in whose hands they rely on. You do NOT need a firearm to feel safe.

AI chatbots can be quite as addictive as a social media like TikTok but if ur using AI, it should be required for you to be healthy, smart enough to know what ur doing and moderate ur usage on AI. This includes romantic feelings for a non human being as-well. Children especially with easy access to internet should get moderated better and asked daily what they been up to on the internet while for more and for adults, they deserve good mental health treatment and weekly or daily from family, friends or authorities

Send some prayers to these people who passed away, and as a lesson today.. Lookout for your friends, family or yourself to take care of and protect to avoid situations like these in the future.

Holy misinformation and fear mongering

I recently got into transformers as of this year and i love this franchise.. but this franchise has also an issue with AI and thats Thé fanbase understanding AI. Most of them… well are anti AI what is not suprising of a modern day fandom.

I happened to find this post on the subreddit posted not a while later and looked deeper into the picture, did reverse google search and this photo that they claim is “AI generated”… wasnt even ai generated but a already existing picture from 2020 -> 2023 -> 2026. This post to me looks like a AI fear mongering and ragebait engagement post. The fact this post is so misleading is insane.

If you want the original links, here you go:

1st (2020): https://tformers.com/daily-prime-evolution-metamorphosis-of-mecha-vehicle-no1/39561/news.html
2nd (2023): https://tformers.com/daily-prime-have-a-happy-independence-day-july-4th/42095/news.html

(Incorrect information of me: the link of 2023 was not from 2023 but infact earliest picture with text is from 2021. My mistake)

STOP. MAKING PEOPLE FEAR AI. IT DOESNT HELP.

Big Op came in

Big support and praise to Kapow Action toys UK for shipping him to the Netherlands. Great company toy

I got soundwave and now i got optimus. I think next i’ll buy is ravage probably for soundwave or Shatter but not from hasbro, most likely gonna buy shatter from MetaGate Red fantasy as she can actually tripple change in that version of her instead of hasbro’s version that is two separate toys for some reason. What do you guys think of this optimus?

What transformers media like movies or shows that the majority of the fanbase hate but you actually like?

As for me, i enjoy watching TF Rid15. I know a lot of people dont like the writing and some of the characters what i can agree on, but i do love characters like sideswide and strongarm interactions with eachother and some the decepticons. The artstyle and animation for this series is really nice made. Some of the jokes are also quite funny, but i hear what movies or shows that a lot of people dislike but you found enjoyable.

u/ComplexVermicelli626 — 2 months ago

It’s okay to not like AI, just dont be a complete a-hole about it..

The issue with anti AI people is their lack of knowledge, empathy and respect towards the tech and individuals.

You can absolutely criticise and not like AI for what it is but bring up good reasons on why instead of being a sheep to get likes and attention.

AI content creators seem to get attacked, judged or hated on for just using AI alone. This goes for also smaller businesses and starter YouTubers using AI for their thumbnails, advertising or help with getting setup. AI has overall made it cheaper and easier for smaller stores to begin their start as a business and grow, this includes signs, logos and commercial advertisement. Youtubers and espionage starter YouTubers have also used AI for their work to help them out with video ideas, sources for the video and thumbnails. Commenting “AI slop” or “pick up a pencil” is being disrespectful and you should get absolutely get the same treatment back to you for attacking another individual workpiece or usage of AI

If you dislike and hate on a person’s post of a AI enhanced image or AI art.. you’re are no better than a “AI bro”. If you dont like AI then dont look at the picture or video. It’s extremely idiotic to hate and send deaths threats to people who use AI for their daily needs or extra support.

It’s a horrible idea to attack anything AI related as ur only making AI content creators post more hateful stuff back to anti AI people.

Just be kind to people who use AI for their own needs and not attack them.

“Is this human made?” “Atleast it’s human made” please genuinely shut the hell up.. you’re annoying asf

I am tired of people saying this exact thing everywhere where AI is almost irrelevant to the topic or non existent. Comments like these only want me to have more AI data centres build and drain an entire town to piss off people like this.

Is it human made?” Is basically the same as “is it lactose intolerant?”.. and before come at me bash me, i do not hate people who have these lactose intolerant problems.. what annoys me is the fact people repeat these exact things because they are scared of AI.

Why do you care it’s “human” made? As if u actually care about small business and people making their own stuff. If u care about “human made” then go buy stuff from small and local businesses instead of corporate companies.. i cannot go on social media without people complaining about AI when thats NOT even the main topic or part of the conversation.

You are genuinely more annoying than a rightwing AI twitter posting his right wing ai bs everywhere. how about you don’t talk about it because its irrelevant to the topic and have a good conversation instead of escalating it into drama and arguments.

As a autistic person myself. Ai is quite a good helping tool for explanation, ideas and help with daily life. Having used ai like ChatGTP is a good tool to help me learn stuff that is harder for some autistic people to learn. People with autism have problems like learn, communicating and socialising. Ai for example can help with that more.

If the teacher’s explanation is still difficult for an autistic person to understand, they can ask chatGTP or grok ai or other ai to help them out and simplify more Thé explanation to understand it better. This has helped me with learning topics.

AI helping me daily:
Recently i have cut down on my energy drink consumption. This year i used to have an energy drink daily which isn’t bad.. until i started using it everyday what isn’t health later in life. I asked ai how much caffeine and sugar max a person can have and if it can help me reduce that. It gave me some small advice like for redbull drink can 1 - 2 days and for monsters every 3 - 4 days. It has helped me in a while and i even started buying more sugar free stuff.

Editing: since last year i have used many ai models but mostly chatGTP like to help enhance gaming screenshots and change some parts like the background or putting an object in certain scenes.

I appreciate AI and its creativity it can be used and i believe it can even help autistic people more and spread creativity, Despite bad eggs using ai for weird and evil stuff.

Imagine being such a whinnie little child that developers of NTE have used ai for some small things like a ai billboard..
