So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

A New Color (1/5🧵)

Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.”

Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.

Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.”

Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

I have a lot of feelings about how social media has kind of ... ruined the experience of being an artist who is sharing their work online.

White text on a dark gray background.
The text reads:

Back when DeviantArt was new, before even the llamas, there was this unspoken phenomenon. Posting art was an immediate thing, but the engagement and interactions … they came much more slowly than now. People live in a world now where the second you hit “post,” there is an opportunity for a like within 5 minutes. I have seen people delete posts with comments ON THEM just because the person felt like it “bombed” and could do better at a different time of day because it didn’t exceed a certain number within a certain time. When did we get so greedy? When did the single like or comment stop being ENOUGH? Why do we rely so much on the feedback of others to decide if we are enjoying what we make or not?

The art part used to come first. It used to be about what people were passionate about making, not what pleases the mob. I’m done with the mob. It is impossible to please the fucking mob … but letting the art come first? That’s something I feel like I can at least gradually change in myself. Step by step. I want to learn patience, and I want to spend more time getting to know the people who are interested in me and my work. I don’t need to scream in a room full of people and then try to placate the first few people who look my way. If people want to engage with me, they need to step out of the mob and treat me like a person. That’s all I want, anymore. Connection. Genuine and honest connections that take time and take patience.

Remember when they were pinkie promising that they wouldn't train it on what was in docs? 🙄 (Re-sharing image with ALT text)

I cannot fathom how this happened.

I am a solo game dev. Yesterday, a player on my Discord was asking the Google Search Al silly questions about my game, to laugh at some of the answers. But the answers sometimes contained surprisingly obscure info that should not be available for a small indie game like mine.

Out of curiosity, I chimed in and asked the player to ask the Al about future contents in my game. Somehow, the Al spitted out the exact & highly specific character name "Vantage Tripod", which I had never mentioned to anyone. As far as I know, the only place where the info exists in a digital form is inside one of my own Google Docs, and this was NOT me speaking to the All (The player even asked the questions in incognito).

My game is not big enough for there to be much noise out there to confuse Google's Al, so I guess that's why it managed to give actual, scarily real leaks on my game (without being confused by online speculations), and I have no idea how it knew all this.

The screenshots only included snippets of the conversation. This is the full conversation on Discord, in case you want to get your own opinion on what happened (The entire conversation with the player lasted for an hour, where the Al gave other upcoming content info such as things I'd only ever mentioned on Discord).

Edit: kallico from Discord has been sharing comparisons between her private GDD (never made into anything) and Google's responses when she asked for ideas based on her game title. Hers is a much more reproducible case where the responses matched her GDD to a concerning degree across multiple clean contexts, and did not feel like reasonable things an Al could have inferred from her prompt. When she tried the same questions with Claude (which shouldn't have access to Google Docs), the responses were far more reasonable and significantly less similar to the contents of her doc.
