The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
A computer screen with a display showing output from an xray diffraction spectrometer. Close up view showing fraction of metals. Fun stuff.

If you’re good at internet sleuthing and want to put your skills to work to help wildfire victims you can check for LA county rentals that have suddenly doubled in price, publicly name and shame the agents doing this, and report them to the government because it’s illegal: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

There is a person with a @gmail.com address cold-emailing artists on Artstation and pretending to represent Gravity Well. They are doing Zoom interviews and then sending fake Gravity Well offer letters to candidates. That paperwork is asking for W4 details (SSN, etc.) plus a Direct Deposit form. These are not real interviews, not real offers, and it puts your personal information at risk. Please please do not give out this information to these scammers. You will only be contacted from a @gravitywell.games email address for any communications from us.

Before it was lost forever, I re-created a twitter thread from a few years back that I thought was worth keeping. If nothing else, so that future BlueSky generations can see the list of dumb fake gamertags we made.

It's been a board game heavy PAX so far. I've tried - Wilmot's Warehouse (pretty good but specifically memorization based) - Flamecraft (dummy cute, easy to learn decent mechanical depth) - Hi-Fi (reads complex, scores simple, fun twists on tried and true mechanics)
