I don’t want AI generated movies or music tailored to me, that kinda defeats the object. I want the weird and wonderful things that lovely talented people have taken care to bring into the world. It’s a window into another soul. It’s literally the fucking point.

I finally finished the Stormsurge that I received last Christmas. I had to pause painting for a while because the triangles in the camouflage drove me mad, and the base diorama was its whole own thing, but I'm pleased with the result. #warhammercommunity #tau #miniaturepainting #warhammer

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
