GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Notice to anyone using Linktree (especially if you're paying for it), you should probably stop.

The paid features just went from $10 to $16 a month. That's more than some phone plans and streaming services. For a page. With some links on it.

Why? So they could add more AI features we didn't want.

I found this on my FB, Yes this is my artworks from 2017? And 2024. (I am not sure for first one, because it was a very long time ago.)

2017 VS 2024

I’ve been quiet lately because I’ve been working (among other things!) on my first solo project!

From now on, I’ll be posting regularly again, sharing progress with illustrations, assets, devlogs, and screenshots.

If this caught your interest, sharing and wishlisting help a lot!

Delphin Casado | WITCHLIGHT WOODS @delphincasado.bsky.social · 5d

BIG NEWS! I'm working on my first solo game, WITCHLIGHT WOODS, and I now have a Steam page!

It's a narrative horror game, blending fairy tale fright with psychological horror; consider wishlisting the game, it's a huge help! store.steampowered.com/app/3913130/Witchlight_Woods
