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.”

I had a conversation w a Lyft driver a few weeks ago that I still think about. I hope this musician, eager to share her art, finds her way to teaching. While the conversation started rocky, Im glad she got an opportunity to talk about her ambitions. Piano teachers are way more valuable than A.I.

BRB, gamedev! I'm just taking a detour from my detour to go back in time to when the world wide web was whimsical! I'm still #webcrafting the real deal as I learn, but for now I fixed cheekynauts.com! It's totes profesh and has all the important stuff, especially if you view it in desktop mode!

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

With Nintendo rereleasing The Ocarina of Time, I've seen a number of people talking about the Bombchu Bowling Alley attendant, so I doodled her. #LoZ #OcarinaOfTime #Bombchu #BombchuGirl #BombchuBowling #LoZOoT

Illustration of the Bombchu Bowling Alley attendant from 'The Legend o Zelda: The Ocarina of Time." She's an elfish young woman in a pink crop-top and a short bob with high spiky bangs. She's holding a bombchu, which is kind of a hybrid of a bomb, a mouse, and Wolverine's mask.

It's funny that for years now people have been saying that using generative AI very obviously deskills you, and people kept going no no you're wrong you Luddite And now all the genAI CEO's keep coming out in public to announce they forgot how to read and do math and can't remember their address etc

A simple illustration of Lucas from Mother 3 wearing DCMC gear, based on the sprites from the Mother 3 game. There are red and black stars in the background.

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...
