For a very long time there have been two industries disguised as one Making video games And squatting on top of video games extracting all the potential wealth, joy, and whimsy from them to feed the shareholders

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

I made this illustration a couple of months ago. I turned it into two prints and the best part is: I'm finally able to ship all of my prints to the US again!

Let’s also hope it will teach Westerners that average mainland Chinese value the ā€œauthentic human touchā€ as much as anyone else, and are not brainwashed zombies who have surrendered all their soul to corporate/government power.

LLM freaks: "building safe ai with China is impossible, the military advantage is too great, we have to win the ai arms race, if we stop killing everyone and making everything worse we might lose" China:

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ā€˜Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

This is probably the best ad I've seen against using generative AI: Mayer, who was an engineer at Google and a chief executive of Yahoo, has rotted her brain so much she can no longer classify her daughter as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". The slide of competence is incredible.

For $10,000 I'll write a TED talk about how Videodrome is the most uncredited inspiration for contemporary retro horror

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. ā€œDigital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.ā€ This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring FlĆ”vio Bolsonaro.

This is the whole purpose. Humans connecting with each other. A form of emotional connection which can only be achieved via direct human creation. Off loading the creation to a machine with no intent or emotion would defeat the whole point. I wouldn't even use ethical LLM models.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

I'm a big fan of Scranton PA's own Cynthia Rothrock. Even when a movie she's in is dumb, she shines. And I think I came up with a good description of her default character: she's Bruce Lee crossed with Cindy Lauper.

I’m not sure I understand what he’s going for here.

"I understand that there have been some experiments showing that LLM review may have similar outcomes to human peer review, but who cares? Either scholarship, research and publishing are human enterprises or they aren’t." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu... >>

Let's be real, what's getting worse is everything driven by capitalism. Science, medicine, technology, art; these things are all improving, especially when they're allowed to play together in the sandbox. BUT: all of these things are being weighed down and held back by the same enshitification.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Watch The Duellists. Somehow it's still in the conversation for his best work. If it was returned during my shift I made sure someone else took it home same day. I may be singlehandedly responsible for a year or more worth of rentals of that disc during my clerks era. RIP Civic Video.
