Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

a digital painting showing the famous Hubble/James Webb image of the Pillars of Creation nebula, with its three tall fingers. the image has been heavily abstracted to be a collection of lines and polygons, and the colors have been saturated, such that it contains strong blues, yellows, and pinks. dots of stars can be seen throughout

a digital painting of a fantasy scene, featuring the eversong woods blood elf starting area from world of warcraft. depicted is a bridge over a calm river, surrounded by brilliant golden trees with sun filtering through, and tall red banners flapping in a breeze.

a square digital painting, showing a collection of growing flowers, leaves, and berries. the image has been abstracted, such that the colors are very saturated, and the shapes have been made more square and linear than is likely true. the main focus of the image is a collection of bright purple flowers, surrounded in the foreground by yellow-green leaves in sunlight, with purple vines between. dotted around are green and black collections of berries with blue reflections of sky. the background is blue-green shapes that suggest foliage.

a digital painting of a person sitting, one elbow resting on their knee, their opposite hand gripping the hilt of a sword. their hair is short, cropped closely to their head and dyed a powder blue. their stool is covered with a red draping fabric. They are wearing a black sports bra and matching underwear, but their soft and round features are otherwise unclothed. the light strikes their face as they look off to the left.

“But I need to use AI to make a reference.” No you don’t. You can doodle your own stick figures, you can find non AI royalty free stock images, describe what you’re looking for, get poses from places like @adorkastock.com, etc. There’s always a way that’s not AI.

The Toocheke dev has released an option to pull a tapas site into a wordpress website using their plugin. Wordpress isn't the only option when it comes to websites, but this feature should make it a lot easier for people to make the switch to a website if they want.

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.

A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

I have a lot of discussions with people who just don't believe individual action can have much of an impact even though world history is full of examples proving otherwise. By the way the two women who spearheaded this were Mary Manning and Karen Gearon. Nimrod Sejake was in Ireland in exile.

The harpies around her are blue cranes with humanoid heads, the two beside her are frolicking, and then one floating on water beside the woman. Around them are flowers and plants.
