I might be a little less distrustful of AI if the dudes promoting it, supporting it, insisting on it, and advocating for it weren’t the worst fucking people on the planet.

When somebody turns out to be garbage, you don't need to do the whole "they were never good to begin with" thing. The fact that they were good and/or made something you loved or that resonated with you is the whole reason that garbage turn stings in the first place

New Deep Space Spines review! #287: DARK VICTORY by William Shatner and Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens. Shatnerverse novels are like Hyper Beam: sometimes you have to rest for a whole one to charge the crazy back up. This book is a charging turn. deepspacespines.bearblog.dev/287-dark-vic...
Cover art for DARK VICTORY, a Star Trek novel by William Shatner and Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens. Kirk and Picard are wearing some heavily padded purple jackets of some kind. Kirk is weirdly smirking directly at the viewer and only looks sort of like Shatner. Picard is furrowing his brow and has on a thousand-yard stare. In front of them, a huge sword is plunged into Earth.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

Like, I would vote for Talarico still if I lived in Texas (which, mercifully, I do not). I think he is trying and failing to thread the needle. His ultimate failure is believing the needle exists to begin with. Bend to the pressure to acknowledge the needle, and you've already lost.

brain points to brain
swim points to lungs
jump points to legs
run points to ankles
propagate points to groin
hand points to arms(?)
(each thing pointed to is a colour, corresponding to a colour chart in the bottom left of the screenshot that has colours ranked from min to max). your groin is pink, which is one below max power.

Read this over the 3-day weekend. A book has not had a chokehold on me the way this one did in quite some time. Highly recommended. Go in blind, and if you're considering DNFing, give it at least one third.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true
