I know I'm on here a lot asking for help - a lot of people are. And a lot of people are struggling. I'm gonna be homeless this weekend. I don't have phone, gas money, a place to refrigerate my insulin, or a place for my dog to keep living.

I do NOT use AI. I am vehemently against its use. While I don't fear it as a pipe cleaner artist, it threatens my friends and colleagues and HAS stolen from them. I fudged this old arcade game graphic in my show reel to say as much. Feel free to use it for your videos! Save as a PNG at 1280x720 px.

I guarantee you AI won’t kill us all. The claim’s a projection of reckless rich buffoons who can’t wait to be the only humans alive, openly fantasizing about a cull. Again. I’ve never been scared of AI, but the megalomaniacs forcing it on us are terrifying. I can’t guarantee they won’t kill us all.

I don't regard antisemitism as a unique or fundamental bigotry, anymore than I think that TERFism or Islamophobia is. But like TERFism, Islamophobia and other bigotries, it is a habit of thought that makes people increasingly conspiratorial, nervy and aggressive. There's no bottom to be had

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.”

Did the grocery shopping with the Braves playing on my phone in my breast pocket, came home, washed and cut fruits and veggies, baked cookies, baked pumpkin bread, baked cornbread, made a pot of chili. I feel like someone's grandparents. It feels good. Except my back. My back does hurt.

Adding to this with an example of consuming media outside your genre, Pokemon The Movie was directly inspired by Phantom of the Opera. Mewtwo exists as this amazing character only because Takeshi Shudo went and explored outside the typical range one would expect.
