I rarely post recommendations, but this warrants an exception. This is "Human Raised," a new book by my colleague and ETCH advisor Dr. Dana Suskind, a NYT best-selling author, surgeon, professor, and expert in childhood development at Univ of Chicago.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Waldemar Kazak paints MerMay his way. The art plays out as dark comedy. A fish market becomes a crime scene where the mermaid holds a head in her hands and studies it like fresh produce.

I today tested the new SeeDance 2.0 both with detectors and itself. The new 'ground breaking' video genAI is just good FaceSwap as AI detectors even detected original frames and photos used (as non ai, underneath the filter) AI is scam with very low innovation rate on money invested.

Tenebrare @tenebrare.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Reminder things like this exist You can actively block ai websites and images -making every days searches more accurate and less fake. Also oddly reduces occurrence of scam as you can block websites from search from server level. I constantly do same search as co-workers and find things faster.

Seedance 2.0 is going to make scamming even more easier. Do not believe anything you hear or see online. No. There are already clips with Epstein, Ukraine or Gaza and those are good. Good is also that those authors said they used this app. Next person will not tell you that. #scams #ai #speedance

It's known scam on many fields and known as "selling courses" - where people make money from selling courses to idiots not from actually of X subject matter they claim to be expert of. Sad part is there are still baboons falling to this very-very old scam.

Ahaha. I did play and still occasionally play Syndicate and Unity and even have done a few Origins and Odyssey plays, but Valhalla felt such of a dread (story was boring, game play was boring, grind was numb) I opted out mid game and Mirage and Shadows never got me buying them.

Tenebrare @tenebrare.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

True, but I liked it more than Black flag - as some little improvements on naval combat and that npcs do stalk you like you stalked others in previous games. After Rogue I stopped being able to enjoy playing Assassins though. :(

Do not look at me, my favorite films are all "flops" or low budget weird or European films that still are done for art and rarely get profit. I have never seen anyone, who doesn't go to cinema because of box office, however word-of-mouth matters a lot. Tickets aint cheap.

Tenebrare @tenebrare.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Because corporate films and games themselves used it as metric of success in past - it was sort of advertising banner for decades. Somehow now, when flop after flop occurs, asking it is a bad thing? I guess corpos indeed do not like, when flops are mentioned. Its just corpo trained behavior.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_... That's f-ing massive to think that there was no internet to organize and how badly USSR had them on hold. A big part of why people were not mowed down was that least in Estonia in some locations (TV tower) the USSR military lead there was sympathetic on protesters

Singing revolution and Baltic Chain also was apparently very big part of why USSR fell, while being part of the chain of events, then the masses that people of Baltic brought on streets did scare s**t out of KGB officials and USSR military. Despite heavy military presence, Baltic were let go.

Well AI failed to tell me that there are more than 2 countries in Africa with an E. All i needed was a quick spell check. And more so AI argued with me that I am wrong even presuming there were more than 2.... And when i asked me to list all countries in world with E, it listed also the missing.

If they succeed, we are cooked. And properly. It would mean that they have all the rights, even copyrights. What is even open web? Someone takes photo of your work and uploads, it means you have no rights at all in their eyes and not just they get rights over your work? We are f-ed.

I was not sure of an official (English)spelling of a country name in Africa. I was in hurry, I ask AI. This what happened. I had to ask ALL countries in world with an E, so it would give me proper spelling of Eswatini (Umbuso weSwatini). And there are people, who take all AI as gospel.
