They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Rolled credits on Wolverine yesterday. I liked this portrayal of Wolverine: gruff, melancholy, and willing to do what it takes, with a heart underneath.

Wolverine crouches next to Leech. The two are in front of a window revealing a beautiful Rocky Mountain backdrop

Daily bunny no.3455 prefers the classics

Two bunnies are standing near a record player, and one starts to play their preferred record, "Something Else" by the Kinks. Next to him, the second bunny is miffed that she can't play her preferred record, "Room On Fire" by the Strokes.

I told myself I’d take a break from huge 20+ dev interview features after the “set in Canada” one but then I had this idea lol And because I’m crazy, I have 1 more piece of a similar scope for 2026 — a retrospective, of sorts. (Just did another chat for it, actually.) Excited to share in October! 🎃

Humaning.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

Daily bunny no.3443 heard a noise

Several bunnies stand at a campfire in the woods at night. One small bunny has a fearful look as they try to tell the others about something. The other bunnies around the fire have a mix of skepticism and surprise on their faces. In the background, a dark shadow of a mothman, with red glowing eyes, is visible.

Finished Neo Cab. Tried a few routes through too! An interesting story about trust and connection in a world where surveillance and emotional manipulation are baked into everyday technology. I enjoyed getting to know the passengers I did. Other interactions were fleeting, but that fits my role.
