FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. Website not live yet. Still polishing things up. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

I'm not new to game preservation, in 2000 I had a ROMs and spritesheets website: https://web.archive.org/web/20011102010517/http://www.pardall.com/index.asp So I'm moving back in time but with a different twist (navigate the models, animations, worlds, pre-rendered scenes) 2000 x 2026:

@kyleford Considering that the current AI wave is powered by large language models that were all trained with reinforced learning using data labeling made by hundreds of thousands of people mostly from Venezuela and African countries, most of which earned less than $1 per hour, in some cases $0.01 per hour, with conditions analogous to slavery, RentAHuman at least pays well (FOR NOW, of course this probably is another one that will reach slave-like conditions).
