I'm working on a feature about videogame art that has been falsely accused of using genAI. If it's happened to you and you'd like to share thoughts about why your work attracted suspicion, feel free to give me a bell: edwin.evansthirlwell@rockpapershotgun.com

yesterday I learned: "indigo" in visible spectra is actually 100% blue, "blue" is actually cyan (has green in it), and "violet" appears purple only because short violet wavelengths also activate our long red light receptors by an evolutionary fluke. idk thought you should know, have a nice day.

Clicked on the Utena link going "wait did she just link the entire series on youtube? It was here all this time?" and got served the first episode. Auto-dubbed. Can't have shit nowadays without being reminded of the kind of future we live in.

So apparently we're having the "you post too much about your book" conversation again. You don't. I don't. I'm pretty sure the majority of authors get tired of posting about their books long before the audiences do.

I hear almost every job now is asking for "ai experience"... which is for the most part going to be being injected by bullshitpilled middlemen at recruitment companies rather than the actual hirer imo treat it like you would "3 shipped titles": ignore it and apply anyway, and in a pinch just lie

i keep getting tagged on this. it's real. if you want to understand how the booze industry got here—beyond @veryimportant.lawyer's immortal "everyone is 12 now" theory, which is honestly a good place to start—may i recommend subscribing to fingers:
