Metafictive anti-realist, apparently. 1/3 of LUDONARRATIVE DISSIDENTS. You can get a ton of free fiction I got paid to write from www.gregstolze.com. I'm just a simple fish, struggling with six million years of evolution I never requested.
The horrors persist, but look at this tiny little sea bunny doing its best.
The Ludonarrative Dissidents are doing a double-length livestream tonight (Tuesday) to celebrate the launch of our season 4 Kickstarter, and we've got special guests Meguey and Vincent Baker, the great minds behind PBtA, to chat with us. Starting 23:00 Europe, 22:00 UK, 5pm Eastern, 4pm Central
I don't use GenAI in my writing. If I was an Olympic speed skater, I wouldn't wear Heelys on the ice. If I was a thoracic surgeon, I wouldn't do Jager bombs before operating. The task is hard enough without adding foolish cruft.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌@chanda.blacksky.app · 4h agoI don't use GenAI because I want to be capable of doing my work. I want my work to be my work. I want my successes to be *my* successes. And I want to do the work that I can only do if I don't have GenAI getting in my way. Each author and intellectual should have this conversation with themselves.

I really liked MIDNIGHT MASS but Mike Flanagan saying he wants to do JAWS feels a little like those dudes who were certain they could return a serve from Serena Williams.

If I was president, for a fun joke, i would be a raging lunatic criminal narcissist and ruin everything I touch. Oh, the whimsy!

The reason why you see a bunch of accounts all suddenly start posting the same phrase at about the same time is because there's a bunch of GRU interns at setups like this and they get a slack notification and start copy/pasting the marching orders given to them

My artwork is pointless, I'm really aiming for "aesthetically pleasing but semiotically vacant."
I feel like, if you want CARRIE to be relevant for a modern audience, the best change is just to ding the telekinesis and have her do everything with an AR-15 and a Ruger Super Redhawk.
How it started: "Ooh, it's kinda dusty, maybe I'll run the vacuum." How it's going:
The thought occurs that our billiono tech overlords--some, anyway--might actually, genuinely prefer the guillotine to seeing their wealth nationalized or otherwise spread out to the plebs.
In the vein of "public libraries could never be created today," a pitch for a calculator would get you thrown out of the boardroom. What do you mean, it just maths? Where are the ads supposed to go? How does it send usage telemetry back if it doesn't even have wifi? There isn't even a leaderboard.

Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.
Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamt of losing my mind to a tiny screen that makes me sad.

Right. That's why my white Nissan Leaf keeps getting charged when a Nissan Xterra with the same plate number (but different state) is parking. The poor customer support is tired of hearing from me. Bad AI isn't destroying the world, loser executives who insist on using them absolutely are.
