🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Heathcliff sits next to a group of mice taking a bubble bath in the Nutmeg family bathtub, holding a brush. An angry Grandpa Nutmeg says "Just catch them."

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

P sure there’s some chat about *a* child with supernatural connections in the files about Dylan’s childhood. I was really surprised that the reveal that Jesse was an emergent result of an AWE wasn’t in the late game!

Please think about how you talk about famous people. Ed Sheeran won’t see your posts, but your friends who are ALSO creatively empty black holes of anti-art surrounded by an accretion disk of well-rewarded mediocrity? They will :/

The Garbage Ape bounces down the street on a night, holding two garbage cans in his outstretched arms. A full moon is in the sky behind him, and the moon has the ape's face. A group of cats rejoices at the ape's approach. Two owls watch from a nearby tree, and one says "It's a rare Garbage Ape moon."

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but it needs more voices. Sign here: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
