I saw the ACME vs. Coyote movie tonight with the fellas. This movie would be great for kids if only the kids had 50 years of nostalgia for Looney Toones/Tex Avrey/Chuck Jones stuff- which they don't. Unlike similar movies (Who Framed Roger rabbit ect.) The studio did not commit to 2-D animation..

The ENTIRE grift was built on using the science fiction term and obfuscating everything about how the tech actually works. Piggybacking on culture was the only way they got this far. Trying to throw away the name because they made it toxic is the clearest sign the grift is over.

Wu posted this earlier. A snap from Starshipx flight 14. It was such a good art reference for rocket cloud smoke morning colors that I had to first ask if it was bullshit Genai (something I hate having to do now)

"Non commissioned fetish art may be some of the last pure art that ever exists." Art beyond corporate capture, beyond advertising, beyond focus group testing, beyond social media clout, non derivative, non decorative, complicated, and prone to incite uncomfortable emotions in the audience."

I genuinely can’t remember that last time I was bored. I’ve been involved in some kind of ongoing creative project + ambitious side projects for like 20 years straight. A friend was like “what are you doing later?” And I don’t know how to explain that every day is prescribed for me already 😅

I remember reading people's webcomic in sites they made. It was charming and cool to see so I have a whole bookmarks file and would open that every week. Maybe it wasn't perfect and reach was different, but I think the trap of modern social media is to stay there and taking the risk to lose it all.

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

SOLCOM. Siquijor-Class spacecraft with Orion. Equipped with massive sensors to find any target within Sol. Can't hit what you can't see. Setting where sneaky aliens invade our star system, so we spent more money on nukes or whatever. Bit late for shiptember but eh. ToughSF? Hmmm... defo not HardSF

Massive starship with massive sensors and an Orion Drive and radiators so SOLCOM can find enemy aliens and shoot them or something.

I know I am relatively new to the Monster Hunter series, but the sub reddit is right. Rathian and Rathalos already took up the “Free space” on the bingo card. Decisions like this stink of keeping development cheap over updating the model of an older monster.

You acheive the mentality shift by having a clear mission for the event. If comic cons started letting vape shops rent booths people would insist the only way to make a living in comics was selling vape carts, and as far as those cons go they'd be right

That hasn't happened. I can't point to any notable, famous AI artists. I can't point to any gallery showings or popular books. It should, by all means, be able to do that now, but manifestly, the market is not there for it, the audience is not interested unless they're tricked into seeing it.
