Zany... I haven't heard that term since... since...

Fuck man, those are some memories...
Edit: I finally found it... Rokenbok. The most coveted toy of my childhood. It was like model trains, Legos, knex, RC cars and marble runs all wrapped into one. And it was compatible with Legos!
That's awesome. I think it's also a really smart way of converting a game like that to VR.
The new lead singer is a scientologist who supports rapists.
For people who misread the headline and are confused: one of the people Masterson allegedly raped (her trial specifically is still ongoing according to the article) is firing shots at Linkin Park's new singer because she is a scientologist who turned out in support of Masterson.
Everyone is overcomplicating this. Red = stop. When it's red, that means it's off.
As for why indicators are sometimes red lights, that's because casting light requires active effort, so if a light is on, then you can assume that the thing is at least receiving power. Red LEDs are the cheapest LEDs (or at least they used to be), which is why binary on/off indicators will sometimes use them. It has less to do with the color and more to do with the price (that's also why older indicators are usually amber or have colored plastic filters; LEDs weren't invented yet, so the cheapest thing was a tiny incandescent bulb with an optional color filter). Otherwise, red lights usually signal an urgent warning, error, malfunction, or some other event that requires someone to stop whatever they're doing and give the device immediate attention.
Edit: in the case of recording specifically, people likely started using red as a recording indicator because, well, recording is important and requires your attention.
Honestly, that's a reasonable take. I mean, there's a world of a difference between using an AI to automatically unwrap and generate UVs or generate PBR maps from flat images vs having an AI auto-generate textures and models from scratch. What'll be interesting is to see where the line ends up being drawn.
The problem with that is that copyright is viral. If you take a photo of a work under copyright, then your photo is also under that copyright. You own the copyright on the photo, but the original copyright holder owns the rights for the reproduction of the copyrighted work; meaning you both own copyright on the photo.
It usually isn't enforced, but you can see an example of this when news stations get sent C&Ds or DMCAs because some chucklefuck with a loud stereo decided to harass them (at least, I'm pretty sure I've heard of news stations getting legal letters as a result of someone playing unlicensed music in the background).
To make matters worse, because anything can be considered artistic with a good enough story, you can potentially claim copyright on reproductions of public domain works if you alter them in some way; even if that's just by changing the spelling of some names.
"Fun" fact: this is why some museums try to stop you from taking photos. The artifacts and paintings being presented may not be under copyright anymore, but the museum is claiming copyright on the presentation of the artwork or artifact, not the artwork or artifact itself. Afaik it's never gone to court so no one knows if it'd actually hold up (I think they usually cite other reasons for kicking you out, which makes it harder to fight), but you'd have to go to court to find out and there's no penalty for them falsely claiming copyright.
All that said, however, it doesn't take much for it to be considered derivative.
Yet, still, just putting the image into a bot and tell it to make a copy wouldn't be enough to free it from copyright; you just can't claim copyright on the (unauthorized) reproduction. The bar is pretty low unless it can be proven that you intended to infringe on someone's copyright (putting a image through a bot with the express purpose of getting a "copyright-free" copy would qualify), or even just awareness of someone's work, even if you didn't mean to copy it, can get you fucked.
There's been a fun case or two recently where musicians got sued because their melodies were the same as someone else's and the company was able to successfully argue that the original melodies were high-profile enough that said musicians must have been aware they were copying a melody.
Copyright is so fucked. It's not a bad idea, but holy shit is its modern implementation fucked.
One gun + another gun = more gun. This is basic math. They could have taught you this in NCD 101 if you'd paid attention.
The binding of Isaac has shit ton of them.
Do old build-engine shooters like Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, etc count?
Sapienza, Italy in Hitman has outfits for red and green plumbers.
Sam and Max has references to all kinds of things.
Hypnospace Outlaw has a ton of references to pre-y2k pop culture.
Power Wash simulator has a number of official crossovers with IPs like SpongeBob, Warhammer, Laura Croft, Final Fantasy VII, etc. (oh shit I just checked and there's a Shrek one coming out soon).
If your missile pods don't have missile pods on their missile pods, then can you really say you're missiling? Furthermore, if your missiles can't transform into drones and back, are you really living in 2024?
Like, imagine it for a moment. Solid fuel rocket on a missile pod that has more missile pods attached. All the pods fire, releasing drones that come swarming out. The now-empty pod shells begin to break apart and tumble unpredictably through the air and slam into random objects, creating chaos while the drones swoop in and drop grenades everywhere.
I don't know if it really counts since it's a full series, but Porkin' Across America is really fucking cursed.
