“The logical conclusion of a technofeudal oligarchy combining forces with an authoritarian political movement is compulsory enrollment in the security state’s platform architecture of surveillance, indoctrination, and behavioral modification.”

Grateful to all who’ve read and supported my AI coverage lately. This is probably the most difficult work I’ve done on the subject to date and I hope it it can be a wake-up call. My profound thanks to Kent Taylor for trusting me with his son Alex’s story.
There is one valid way to mess with them, which I'll do my best to explain.
Consider this: I'm fiercely creative. People have given my work praise and awards. I know that my best work comes from minimal oversight.
However, I am also a consultant and have seen some things...
single use plastics are wild to be fair, like "we've invented this substance with a finite total
quantity which will last 1000 years"
"oh sick what are you going to make with it?"
"bag"
I tried to put into (many) words something I've tried to put a finger on for years: everything is weirdly sexual now because nothing is allowed to be overtly, actually sexual anymore www.404media.co/egg-yolk-pop...
"Art's not just a pretty picture."
My mum told me this when I was coming up with ideas for my GCSE art piece...and it was the best thing I ever learnt about art. It's the intent, the emotions, the process, the message behind it that matters...and that's something AI art users fail to understand.
You're not checking on her, she's checking on you ^^

Birb in question, Noodle !
Added you! I use it for a bit more than a month now and I'm amazed how much i will do to not let down this cute little birb
the first rule of player feedback is that players are not game designers. you are the fucking game designer. players don't know the first thing about game design nor do they know what they actually want until you do the work and give it to them. if we listened to players everything would be fortnite
Let's talk about the goodest girl. I know anyone with a female dog ALSO has the goodest girl, but I want to talk about our goodest girl. It starts with very scary medical procedure and ends with our family loving our golden somehow even more. in honor of National Golden Retriever Day
On August 16th our Bernese Mountain Dog went in for life saving surgery. A massive growth was found in his abdomen unlike anything the surgical team had seen before. The team was going in blind and we were told that there was a chance our dog wouldn't make it.
Thanks to the skill of the surgical team, luck, prayers, everything, our big guy survived and is recovering right now at home. So what does this have to do with our GOODEST GIRL? Our Goodest Girl's name is Beaker and what she did when Bunsen got home brought us to tears.
Beaker is 4 and her big brother Bunsen is her whole world. When Bunsen was in hospital we realized it was the first night that Beaker spent apart from Bunsen in her entire life. She has always known a home and family with the fuzzy bear.
In honor of National Golden Retriever Day, here is the story about Beaker stepping up to watch over Bunsen when he was recovery. Parts 1-4
It's such a mood honestly

I have a simple motto which I hold myself to:
"Don't look for reasons to be unhappy"
You'll know when you have a real problem on your hands, and it's much more fun to ask how that problem can be solved using your own brain and your own skills rather than an app or a widget.
That's the fun in life
I do think it’s super important right now and in the foreseeable future to really value moments of joy and to be intentional about making as many of them as you can

Here's Aranea, carefully inspecting my desk for any crumbs left from afternoon snack.
This is the kind of thing that makes me want to scream in the void. Perhaps the void still has media literacy by some miracle.
That's what i'm trying to explain to whoever is marveling at the "incredible progress" of 3d world generation AI. My main point is why the hell would anyone want to explore these environments or change from cyberpunk to medieval city? It's just the triumph of a vapid form over shared meaning to me.
I even had a rad Tekken decal on it despite never owning the game. Played the hell out of the demo disk though.
I felt old a while back when realizing i rarely called it the playstation 1 bc in my mind it's obviously this one
i want to be clear that i don't believe stories or games have to have giant socially engaged narratives in order to be worthy of people's time (my own game is far from)
what is important is creating a *possibility space* - inspiring a feeling that you, or the world, is capable of more than you see
