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.”

This review suggests that large prey may be energetically viable for forest leopards, as they face direct competition for small prey from African golden cats and humans for medium-sized prey.

Qingshan Lake Water Forest in Lin'an District, Hangzhou is a viral attraction sometimes called "Matcha Lake" for the emerald green duckweed (subfamily Lemnoideae). These black swans (Cygnus atratus) & their cygnets are enjoying a nutritious buffet of aquatic plants. Let's learn about duckweed.

One from the vaults! In the 1970s and early 1980s, there were a slew of scarifying books exploring real life mysteries and weird phenomena, and this week we will take a look at some of the most memorable…

A funny part of this too is that a team of editors and cautious creators can easily also create something generic- but they come by it honestly (and sometimes it still sells) No ai middleman needed

Poem of the Day: "One More Thing" #poetry #poem #poemoftheday

One More Thing

If Columbo asked
for just one more thing,
what would you say?

Standing in your doorway,
rumbled beige raincoat,
ruffled hair, cigar,
compassionate squint.

Would his wife
be familiar
with your pain?
Would your answer lead
to conviction
or absolution?

- Simon Christiansen

I'm an official D&D/MTG illustrator working on a game that's p much a love letter to everything I like about RPGs. and more: it's pay-what-you-like. get OMIOS URES for free if you want, I don't care. spread the word, play the game once with your group and I guarantee they will want a campaign. :)

page of OMIOS URES. digital painting over graphite sketch of a chameleon hunter with a hand cannon. his prehensile tail is holding a torch behind him, and various items are strapped to his body. a bandolier with potions, a large bag with a bear trap sticking out, a fairy in a cage hanging from a rod. waterskin, pocket watch, sleeping bag, retro aviator-like goggles on his forehead. he walks hunched, as if sneaking about, and his delicate gait - exactly like a chameleon's - is a visual play, resembling the tippy toe walk of a cartoonish hunter

ITEMS ITEMS ITEMS

The following pages cover a number of ordinary (and extraordinary) miscellania favored by adventurers.

When employing an item’s Skill Check for a NPC, replace the skill with the NPC’s Body, Mind or Magic. An NPC trying to break out of manacles uses Body instead of Physique.
