I should know better by now to throw out a comma separated list of future story ideas. The wolftaurs are going to come out of the woodwork. Any tragically underrepresented cat or dog tropes I’m missing? 🐱🐶

A screenshot of a story snippet:

"Ruff?" Ben sniffed Faux Pass' new display curiously.

"I got the idea from the coffee shop next door. They've got these dueling tip jars? I haven't the faintest clue what an InstaReel or a TicTac is, but I liked the concept." The Shopkeeper rested his arm on the nearest costume rack.

The wizard had spent the morning gathering a hodgepodge of costumes from throughout the store. The rack he was leaning on contained a firefighter-themed Dalmatian costume, a surprisingly animated looking coyote getup, a wolf outfit with a suspicious number of limbs, and a small fox suit with an even larger number of tails. Resting in the adjacent rack was another conspicuous assortment. There was a cheetah in a track suit, a lion costume with the prominent omission of a mask, a flamboyant looking tiger with artificially dyed fur, and and a surprisingly simple looking orange tail and headband combo.

Between the two shelves was a small card table. It had a few collars, chew toys, and scratching posts decorating it. Sitting in the middle was a large decorative chalkboard. It loudly proclaimed, "CATS vs. DOGS!" Underneath each species were a few tally marks. Currently the cat side had three hash marks, and dogs only had two.

Speaking of which, the wizard was right beside him for once. Ben couldn't remember the Shopkeeper ever having actually just stood around manning the register.

"Arf ruff arf?" Ben lazily asked what he was doing.

"I'm not hiding!" The wizard said defensively. He straightened out the front of his robe. "I just uh- Don't know what to do with Oscar."

Ben glanced out at the store. He didn't have his wizard‘s insights, but he guessed Oscar was the guy browsing the back and not the two girls giggling towards the front.

"Ruff?" What could he want that would stump the Shopkeeper?

Before you do any hand wringing on this story, go read the two quotes Lucas gave on AI. He doesn’t engage with any of the current industry discussions about AI use. This is disengaged, borderline nonsense with some headline friendly imagery.

The argument extends to artificial intelligence (Al), a subject that immediately animates Lucas. "Artificial intelligence means it's much easier for us to make movies," he says.
"It's very much like sitting here saying, 'Well, I believe the horse and the buggy is really where it's at. These cars, they break down, they need gas, there's all kinds of problems with them and pretty soon they'll be making them into tanks, and then they'll be killing people. Iť's terrible.' There's nothing you can do about it," he says, raising his hands. "That's progress, it's the future."
When pushed, he acknowledges the risks but insists that Al can provide its own solutions.
"If you want Al that tells you when something is fake and where it came from,
Al can do that," he says. "Humans can't, we're not that smart. The whole idea is you're a human being, you're responsible for what you say and what you do, and if you're doing something that's illegal you should be punished for that. Whatever you do, you should be recognised. Iť's just like real life."
