  A reminder to Hollywood/Silicon Valley that since Tilly Norwood is basically just a photorealistic AI-rendered cartoon, there's actual cartoon women that A) have actual writers/voice actors, B) actual in-story/real-life lore, and C) aren't cynical AI slop that exists as a way to dodge paying "A". (Yes, I picked a character from each generation, so everyone recognizes at least one of them.)

Basically no billionaires, private equity, etc. It can't guarantee the people behind, say, Jellyfin or LibreOffice don't want to send all Black / gay people to the moon, but at least they won't have the GDP of Chile to try. (Again, diversity in tech matters.) https://www.diversetechgeek.com/least-problematic-tech-options/ #tech
