Here's the first animation I did at all, like a month ago. You can start learning new hobbies literally whenever. #animation

People who WANT AI to be conscious scare the shit out of me, actually. Yearning for slavery is evil, scary behavior and I don’t want you near me. Or children. Or maybe even dogs.

qrp with your moon art 🌕

Digital illustration with a traditional appearance with iridescent coloring. The setting is Clocktown, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A low view of Link stepping away cautiously while looking up past the clocktower at the massive and menacing moon that will soon crash down on Termina.

I read The Underneath by Kathi Appelt when I was a small child, don't remember how old, and it nestled itself into the roots of my psyche like a jar filled with coiled influence. 🧵 #reading #books

A book cover. The Underneath by Kathi Appelt, with drawings by David Small. It shows a drawing of two grey kittens and a tired blood hound hiding under the wood texture that makes up the background of the text. It has two silver book award stamps on it.

I Don't Sleep Well (Title)

I Don't Sleep Well. The title is rendered in biological looking script. The action takes place in the cross section of an apartment, where the characters are in front of a large window with the angle such that we are looking down on to the street. Insect arms reach out to a woman, whose silhouette is replicated behind her. The moon shines down.

I would advise people not to talk to USA Today for any reason, about anything ever, based on this thread. It's bad enough that the whole profession is circling the drain, but for a remaining publication to feed interviews into a slopifier without telling sources? When it's about SA? I just.. 🌋

hit and miss

PANEL 1: a pigeon sits, looking sad. their eyes are wide and with bags. there's blue shading over their face with blue lines over it, and three little purple spirals next to their head. they say "maybe some fresh air will help with my depression..."
PANEL 2: the pigeon sits on the grass under a tree outside, looking at the crisp blue sky. they look cheered up, and say "wow, what a wonderful, beautiful world...this is helping!"
PANEL 3: a zoom in on the pigeon, eyes shut happily. they say "i'll remember this for next time."
PANEL 4: text at the top says "next time". the pigeon is back under the tree, but looks as distressed as they did in panel 1. they mutter "i actually feel worse now"

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.”

Seven months later and I'm on Northsky/ @transrights.northsky.social ! For some reason I thought being on a different server would get me off of clearsky too, but I checked and I guess not. That's disappointing. But I am no longer under the thumb of the bluesky moderators! Yay!

A lot of people think Mary Shelly invented sci fi as a way to warn about the risks of unmitigated technological advancement, but actually it was about how men's obsession with the creation of life without an understanding of the duty of care it brings, would destroy the world

Could've been Brian Williams actually, I don't remember which author it was. One of them. I just looked it up and I'd forgotten it was co-authored.

I asked him how he found me (and so fast??) and he just said he was extremely online. Still no idea how he found it. Was he searching really specific vaguely worded phrases that could be alluding to his books??? I wish I could ask him again and get a clearer response! It will haunt me forever!

I will never get over the time on twitter circa 2017 when I, with maybe 40 followers, tweeted about remembering a scene from Tunnels by Roderick Gordon that was WILD for me to experience as a child, and Mr Gorden himself showed up to be like "lol got you" And I didn't even say the book title???

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

What happens if a creator streams your game and is opted in? Does Twitch think it has the right to feed a developer's game into its AI slop factory? This has deeper ramifications than it seems on the surface.

This was genuinely disturbing to watch, it’s not even about poetry, it’s a video to teach children to prompt and do as little as they can get away with doing with the output before calling it a day.
