This articulates something I often think about. Industrialised theft of underpaid creative work kills requisite passion. Swamping the zeitgeist with slop sucks, but my greater fear is it triggering a dark age of expression. We stand on the backs of giants and AI is slaughtering those giants.

been thinking about this a lot lately -- AI seems like a tech that inherently creates economic "doom loops" that extract value from original creative work while destroying the financial incentives to produce more of it ruining culture while making itself worse futurism.com/artificial-i...

Readers (especially Australians), Radio National is running a poll for the top 100 Australian books! I can't wait to see where things land :) Permutation City by Greg Egan is one of the most prescient pieces of sci fi I have ever read.

If only one thing convinces me that the future is free and open source, its trying to use Adobe products on a Windows environment in 2026. Nothing I need it for works any more, so why would I pay for it.

Old conbooks are so cool! Something about fantastic proto-furry illustration, mono ink and that cheap textured paper stock you only see on old computer manuals. Look at these amazing artworks by Ken Macklin of Bubsy fame. Ebay listings cached on google. I wish we had digital archives of these.

Ole mate been pondering the orb since before you were born... oh and this is awesome too! Registration is required when you want to use multiple inks to make a composite image, but in this ad, they used the inks independently so it looks slick regardless of misalignment. from Westercon 41

#Aurawra had such a lovely theme this year. The Solarpunk ethos fits so well with this fandom and the staff, volunteers, presenters, guests and attendees embodied the hell out of it. The community feels more developed and rich every year and that makes me so happy.

I didn't end up having much to contribute to the fireworks this year, but it was a huge privilege to have some involvement and it was wonderful seeing how excited and diligent the group were in putting together something really special. Well done :3

@dareltincognito.bsky.social and @lomg.fyi on this show has been a magical experience, and even with the gruelling 3 week time period we had, I wouldnt trade it for a thing. I have included our postcard here as it got messed up in the credits video export. Thank you everyone, genuinely <3

I don't think I'm gonna win any aerobatics competitions with this lopsided half cuban-8, haha. My partner @fairbank.bsky.social got me a flight in a L39 jet trainer for my birthday! Zoomcat! They coached me through flying some basic aerobatics, which was a lot of fun to do for realsies.
