"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

THE STARLESS SEAxHOWL'S MOVING CASTLE When she becomes haunted by shadows & a mysterious stranger with eyes of fire, Augusta is forced into a desolate world she's only ever dreamed about, & must decide if she's willing to sacrifice everything to save it. #WIPPit #W #Q #F #R #A

An Agent's Guide to: Between Fractures of Light

Adult Romantic Portal Fantasy

$Pitch When a shadow in the shape of a man haunts her and kidnaps her childhood best friend, Theo, Augusta’s dull life is shattered. Rescued from the shadows by a mysterious stranger with eyes of fire who reminds her of a past she can’t remember, Augusta is forced into an unfamiliar world she’s only ever dreamed about—a place where Darkness has consumed the Sun, trading ruin for power, leaving all who live there in eternal desolation. As the line between the two realities begins to fracture, Augusta must decide if she’s willing to to give up everything to save this new world—even if it means sacrificing herself.$ Comps

The field was on fire. It swept over the flowers and tall grasses with ferocity, leaving nothing but smoldering remains and broken hope in its wake. Smoke filled the air, low lying like a blanket. The acrid smell of smoke and burnt flowers was suffocating. The flowers, which had once been beautiful and fragrant, transformed into ugly ash and malodorous fumes.

Still, Theo ran, the muscles in his legs burning and his lungs filling with smoke. He was a runner, in more ways than one, and he knew the fatigue that came from legs pushed past the limit. He should be able to run faster than this. The mechanical motion of his legs was hindered by a heaviness like lead weights tied to his ankles. He should be faster, lighter.

But maybe he had been running longer than he knew. He couldn’t remember what had come before. He had been spawned into existence, an apparition. There was nothing prior, only darkness and the cool touch of wet stone.

When she picks the wrong pocket, sixteen-year-old Nia unlocks a magical talent she didn’t know she had. Now she’s posing as an heiress, a con man’s gone missing, and Nia and her band of would-be thieves are on the run from magehunters, mathematicians, and the governor herself. #WIPPit #F #YA #LGBT

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing:
1. Always have an escape plan.
2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud.
3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark.
4. Never get involved with golems.

The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right:
A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs.
B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow.
C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards.
D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn.
E) A pocket orrery engraved with runes.
F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game.
G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks.
H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

It’s a pretty good barometer for our politics that Trump’s most high-profile collaborator, Elon Musk, accused Trump publicly of being a pedophile and called for his impeachment like 5 days ago and everyone appears to have simply shrugged and moved on.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
