I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

Really good thread and valuable to read with regards to genAI and how it will never provide what art provides. I easily get into this flow state with writing, which is why I overwork myself and find it difficult to step away/take breaks.

in a session with my therapist, she was commenting how she can't draw a stick figure -- then recalled a time when she could envision exactly what she wanted and it came out easily on the canvas. and she had no idea how she did it.

I was like, yeah, the flow state. you know, like athletes and gamers

Oh @taito.co.jp, why did you do this?

An AI abomination. If it was a real person it would probably be wondering why it was now sat in front of a "Wamus" machine.

LRT about the Taito photo goes hand in hand with this video by Kurzgesagt, talking about how AI posted by official sources will creep back into the datasets as legit information until it will be impossible to verify what is real and what’s not

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

to add: it speaks also to how the aesthetics of fascism are always stolen or appropriated. the swastika is from euroasian religions like hinduism or buddhism. the fedora was originally women's fashion. gAI being popular among fascists makes sense when its entire function is to steal aesthetics

chira 🎋 @artofchira.bsky.social · 4d

idk if it's overly reductive but I'm convinced fascism is born out of creative envy. every far right character is a failed or obsolete writer/comedian/actor/artist/etc

which is so annoying since these are losers who made their rainbow drawing not being good enough for the fridge society's problem

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 4d

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

The choice to make a digital viewing journal is going swimmingly, because I can roughly scribble choice moments now and decide if I should polish later.
