"Super intelligence" and it still can't count the vowels.

Along with this tech impacting brain functionality & literacy levels a lot of the problem is tech bro goons like Jensen Huang stating there's nothing wrong with math levels in kids dropping due to a growing dependency on AI to try & normalize this damage in order to push their dystopian vision.

If someone needs to use a plagiarizing AI app to generate content in any creative field, then they have no business being in that field. Boycott anything made using these apps which are deliberately designed to steal.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, says kids don't need to know basic math when confronted with evidence that using AI is impairing children's brain functionality. These tech bro goons are trying to normalize the damage this tech is causing. There's a reason they don't let their own kids use it.

Bill Gates has said that AI could empower criminals without the right safeguards. WTAF, Bill! It's already empowering criminals! Criminals are creating this tech to steal our IP, pollute our planet & to fund the Chief Criminal in the White House. Is a sociopathic society the tech bro goon goal?

I've read economists saying we are on the verge of dramatic market correction, but that feels like euphemistic wordplay for market collapse.

Bizarrely a Harlan Ellison Facebook group I'm in, there's an unhealthy amount of members, some quite prominent, that are drunk on the AI Kool-Aid & defend it quite obnoxiously. As Harlan would say "a flamethrower couldn't deter the poor bastards." Another group I'm in have much more respect for him.

It's sad to see praise in a Harlan Ellison Facebook group for this edition of 𝑰𝑯𝑵𝑴𝑨𝑰𝑴𝑺. J. M. Straczynski used ChatGPT to include an essay. ChatGPT is designed to plagiarize literature & art. OpenAI also massively funds Trump. Harlan hated ignorance, piracy & Trump. How something is done, matters.

I've been reworking my Harlan Ellison ASCII art piece. I've filled it with quotes by Harlan & excerpts from his stories. Took longer than I thought it would & involved loads of reading & interview watching. I swear I could write his bio now. A couple of you lucky people have seen the full thing 😎😉🤖🖖

I Have A Mouth & I'm Screaming. The latest edition of 𝑰 𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑵𝒐 𝑴𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉 & 𝑰 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 which J. Michael Straczynski included an essay written by ChatGPT. OpenAI is one of Trump's biggest donors, so not only is this taking a dump on Harlan's grave, but buying it is also helping the orange goon.

Welp, every now and again, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing... 👀💙📚 #writing #epic #darkfantasy #cosmichorror #timeloops #pocketrealities #magicsystems

When someone says “Vivian Amberville”, as a book series, they generally think of 5 things:

1. They think of intricate TIME LOOPS that fold time and space into impossible shapes;

2. They think of POCKET REALITIES, such as liminal spaces and cosmic backrooms, where time is both instant and infinite;

3. They think of reality-warping COMPLEX MAGIC SYSTEMS where different characters can fold, twist, bend, loop or even cut the very fabric of REALITY itself;

4. They think of a dense, TAPESTRY-LIKE PLOT supported by a huge cast of characters, each with their own unique character arc;

5. and finally, they think of eldritch creatures from the abyss of reality, which adds certain elements of COSMIC HORROR to the narrative.

The Chin aka Bruce Campbell, is one of the main reasons I wanted to get into filmmaking. I love his movies but in particular those he made with the Raimi bros have given me endless hours of entertainment. He's still with us, but FUCK CANCER!

Was reminded today that Frank Miller gave Harlan Ellison a wee cameo in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘒𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴, so I dug out my copy. "...Be eating our own babies for breakfast" is definitely something Harlan would say😆 Snyder is apparently planning a movie of 𝘛𝘋𝘒𝘙 so I'm hoping he gives a homage to Harlan.
