Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Awaken Realms forgot to hide their AI again. They boast how many artists they have on staff then just force them to pump out generative nonsense in the name of efficiency above all else. Yet won't even own up to it when pressed. There's no art in it, just content. Another publisher on my blacklist.

If you could have one wearable accessory double as a board game, that is playable while worn. Which accessory would you choose? ( necklaces, rings, watches, etc) I'll say for arguments sake rings can go up to 4, and earings can go up to whatever the average is ( I don't know how many is average)

🎲✂️ I created 3 sell sheet templates in Google Slides for anyone to copy and make their own. This is based on providing very similar feedback repeatedly when helping fellow designers improve their sell sheets: bigger images + fewer words + focus on hooks. docs.google.com/presentation...

I've been working on a publishing venture with @coo.games and Maia, specifically for unranked games called Lunarpunk Games! Follow along for game updates, as well as tips, tricks, and insights for making your own unranked games! What are unranked games? Check out this thread.

Lunarpunk Games@lunarpunk.games · last yr.

Good evening . . . We're conjuring some unranked games—games uninterested in ranking the players and their performance. For example: • Multivictor games where players pursue their own goals in a messy social space. • Victorless games that defy the concept of winning with narrative outcomes. 1/🧵
