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.”

It is done!! Inspired by the 2003 codex cover art "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinski Made for a local painting challenge with Abaddon assigned per dice roll and the theme "treasure". (crushing Cadia is a "treasured moment" for him 😇) #minipainting #warhammer40k #abaddon #eyeofterror #osl #cadia

Full frontal photograph of the finished "Eye of Terror" piece based on the iconic artwork by Karl Kopinsky.

It features Abaddon the Despoiler, standing in flames surrounded by his black legion - visualized through converted epic scale marines - holding and crushing the planet Cadia in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.

Close-up photograph of the sword Drach'nyen, which is part of the "Eye of Terror" miniature piece based on the iconic artwork by Karl Kopinsky.

It also shows the arm and shoulder of Abaddon the Despoiler, who is standing in flames in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.

Two side-by side side views of this piece based on the iconic artwork "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinsky.

It features Abaddon the Despoiler, standing in flames surrounded by his black legion - visualized through converted epic scale marines - holding and crushing the planet Cadia in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.

Vertically split comparison of the iconic artwork "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinsky (right) and my version (left) for which I used a backdrop plinth, the modern miniature of Abaddon the Despoiler, with sculpted planet in powerclaw as well as a number of Imperialis "epic scale" marines.

It’s nice when a hobby idea comes together. Finally settled on paint schemes for my guard collection. Cadians as Truskan Snowhounds, use Vostroyans as DKK, and do death riders as my take on Paladius Freelancers, all united by the same schemes for reds, whites, golds, etc. #WarhammerCommunity

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!"

Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now."

The Klingon grabs her shoulders, smiles, and says "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"
