Synty also has a nice placeholder pack for $7. The post-it notes are kind of adorable:

I don't think most of these are made for Godot, so you may have to mess around with import settings or set up tilesets/materials yourself
If he collects enough metrics, he could make a horrendously cursed blogpost out of it like Aella
Every time I see these crypto games, I can only think of the online uwu pit bosses shown in that one Folding Ideas video who were driving workers to slave away for less than the minimum wage in the Phillipines. Just permanently burned-in mental imagery.
This is a cool channel by the way. I'm stealing this description from someone in the YouTube comments, but he has a creative "glitchcore SFM aesthetic" that I kind of like and his speaking cadence reminds me of Primer. His style works strangely well for ripping into NFT games. This video felt like looking into a funhouse mirror dimension where every genre of game is somehow even worse than the worst games I've ever seen.
Also, the Dr. Disrespect-Chewbacca mask guy doing NFT lootbox openings is something I can't unsee. That's honestly so much funnier that he's still doing it after the Dr. Disrespect sexting minors scandal.
I think a dark theme with red accents would make sense.
Oh HELL no that's the same editor theme I'm using. How do I cast a spell to banish these people
It was some Adobe-style theme I downloaded a long time ago but I guess I'm using the anti-woke theme now
This quote flashbanged me a little
When you describe your symptoms to a doctor, and that doctor needs to form a diagnosis on what disease or ailment that is, that's a next word prediction task. When choosing appropriate treatment options for said ailment, that's also a next word prediction task.

Chiming in with my own find!

I've seen this person around a lot with crazy takes on AI. They have a couple quotes that might inflict psychic damage:
If I had the skill to pull it off, a Buddhist cultivation book would've thus been the single most rationalist xianxia in existence.
My acquaintance asks for rational-adjacent books suitable for 8-11 years old children that heavily feature training, self-improvement, etc. The acquaintance specifically asks that said hard work is not merely mentioned, but rather is actively shown in the story. The kid herself mostly wants stories "about magic" and with protagonists of about her age.
They had a long diatribe I don't have a copy of, but they were gloating about having masterful writing despite not reading any books besides non-fiction and HPMoR, their favorite book of all time.
There's also a whole subreddit from hell about this subgenre of fiction: https://www.reddit.com/r/rational/
"help artists with tasks such as animating a custom character or using the character as a model for clothing etc"
The "deepfake" and "(uncensored)" in the repo description have me questioning that ever so slightly
Oh whoops, I should have archived it.
There were about 7 images posted of users roleplaying with bots, all ending with a bot response that cut off halfway with an error message that read "This content may violate our policies; blablabla; please use the report button if you believe this is a false positive and we will investigate." The last one was some kind of parody image making fun of the warning.
Most of them were some kind of romantic roleplay with bad spelling. One was like, "i run my hand down your arm and kiss you", and the bots response triggered the warning. Another one was like, "*is slapped in the face* it's okay, I still love you" and the rest of the message generated a warning. There wasn't enough context for that one, so the person might have been writing it playfully (?), but that subreddit has a lot of blatant sexual violence regardless.
This community pops up on /r/all every so often and each time it scares me.
Sometimes I see kids games (and all games really) have ultra-niche, super-online protests that are like "STOP Zooshacorp from DESTROYING K-Smog vs. Batboy Online", and when I look closer it's either even more confusing or it's about something people didn't like in the latest update. This is like that, but with an awful twist where it's about people getting really attached to these AI girlfriend/sex roleplay apps. The spelling and sentences make it seem like it's mostly kids, too.
edit: here's a terrible example!
Oh no. Kurzgesagt just published a full-on TREACLES piece.

It's been 3 days, my hope that this is real is fading :(
Musk will always own that hilariously disturbing baby roleplay Twitter alt though
I don't know how materials work in Asset Forge, but they have a guide on their site for exporting models to animate with Mixamo: https://kenney.nl/knowledge-base/asset-forge/rigging-a-character-using-mixamo. You could also animate things like moving platforms or doors in-engine with an AnimationPlayer.
Speaking of Asset Forge, Kenny Shape is a similar thing for quickly throwing assets together. It has a really fast 2D workflow for creating 3D models that reminds me of Doom mapping a little bit. For lo-fi levels, you might also like Crocotile 3D or the combo of TrenchBroom + Qodot. Crocotile is great for repurposing 2D pixel art tilesets from itch or OpenGameArt into 3D assets, and Trenchbroom/Qodot is a more fully featured level editor I've seen people work crazy fast in.
