Dear socials team running this account: ChatGPT is an inefficient software tool that guzzles water and electricity in order to repost easily-obtained search results like "Ask your federal representative for help with a federal agency". There are better uses of your shoutout inventory. Thank you! 😃👍

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

To me, artbooks are celebrations of in-game art, but the extras are the key: - in-game pixel art, with close-ups to showcase detail - unused pixel art that is too cool to remain unseen - insets of early pixel art and analog sketches - text about the process/history/meaning If that helps?

This has so many amazing details: the bartender, the arcade game, the drinks behind the bar, each show a story happening around the player! I want to play the game, but I'm also going to need a book of the artwork. Just a heads-up. 😃👍

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Target is definitely evil as a company, for multiplle reasons (anti-DEI, anti-LBQTQ, pro-ICE) but I'm pretty sure that ad is fake as heck. My guess is someone correctly dislikes Target but incorrectly chose disinformation that "feels" right as a way to combat that evil.

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.
If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

Confronting your fears takes courage. That is obvious. But doing so also takes compassion. You must understand why the fear took hold in the first place, and be gentle with the part of you that shrank away from it. You must attack your fears, not yourself for having them.
