Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoEvery now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
hey if you live in a state with a republican majority you should double down on this. double up on calls and get all your friends in on it. they are the reason this passed the first time and were still dealing with it! let them know their constituency is NOT PLEASED
Eromancer@eromancer.bsky.social · 3d agoThis will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.
Why I deleted my initial post of getting into the Art Hub! I’m still going to try and make it work (and I’m waiting for an answer to a specific ? I had), but I have the privilege of living 20 minutes from Seattle. My expenses are simply what I put into the table, plus gas and parking.
Amanda Lien@alienfirst.bsky.social · last wk.I guffawed when I saw the price, but I realized it’s for a 6x8’ space, and two badges. Given that a full 4 day pass to PAX is $250, more than half the table cost is just for the badges. Don’t get me wrong, it’s A LOT. If I didn’t live 20 mins away, I wouldn’t even consider it.
*applauds* (Check thread for context.)

We're raising money for @geekgirlcon.bsky.social today! If we hit $500 raised for them, we'll do a Jimothy themed Bob Ross night! Plus I have a game key to giveaway for Water Park Simulator! Come support the charity: www.twitch.tv/camillapanda
Whee, having a bite to eat, and then I’ll be streaming more Draugen! Will probably finish it today. :)
Just whole ass “according to ChatGPT” are you fucking kidding me. Doing research on ANYTHING has never been easier. And you are using Chat-fucking-GPT.
Rick@combattlerrickv.exportaud.io · 2w agoI dont know if this is brazen or it has just become so normalized that people who use the stuff don't see it anymore but the text that opens the final paragraph on the right on the big slides for your sdcc presentation is WILD

In Warhammer 40k, hacking a servo skull to run Doom is one of the sacred rites of the Adeptus Mechanicus, but none of them remember why, or even understand what Doom is.
And we're back! Gonna play a game called Draugen, which is described as a "first-person Fjord Noir mystery set in 1920s Norway." I don't think I'll finish it in one go, but we'll see! www.twitch.tv/alienfirst

Surely nothing bad will happen in this small Norwegian village! | Streaming draugen.

Gonna try and get a stream going early afternoon tomorrow and/or Friday! It’s been too long. I’ll either be arting or starting up a game called Draugen. Draugen doesn’t seem to be a very long game, and it’s more of a “walking simulator” but I’ve had it in my “to play” folder for ages now.
As per usual, tapping the sign: everything has a place in fiction. EVERYTHING, even if you personally find it distasteful. Shitting on other people's art because it's not wholesome enough is fascist rhetoric driving the rise in modern censorship. Kill it now.
Starting on Dungeon Crawler Carl book number three! Been enjoying myself thus far, but it definitely helps that Steve has read them all so far and has done some spoiling for me. One and two were fun, but not the most attention grabbing, but knowing about some shit that happens later? DAMN SON.
I keep checking my email to see if I got into the PAX Art Hub. On one hand, I really want to do a show again and get to see and interact w/people. But on the other hand, holy shit what time and money do I use to prep for a show at the beginning of September when I haven’t had a show in 5 years.
New YouTube videos coming as soon as I finish this sucker. And I’ll be getting at least one acrylic standee made of Space Marine AlienMom and Chaos Marine Alienfirst. B/c I think my mom would just die to have it. 🎨
I want to give our upstairs neighbors as much leeway as I can (they got kids), and I think I’m doing a good job all things considered. But goddamn, I wish they would pick up the trash, clothes, toys, etc that they have thrown off their deck and also dropped in the front of the building.
