Buying my ocean art is an investment in getting to talk to people about cool marine life. You’ll either have people excitedly recognizing the critters or you’ll have them asking what they are giving you totally solicited opportunities to nerd out. 🦑🐙🐡

It also misses a HUGE opportunity for dev whimsy.
I remember working on Magic: Duels and badly photoshopping tropical print shirts onto placeholder planeswalkers key art while waiting for the full-res files to come in. Because, y'know, we wanted it to be VERY OBVIOUS it wasn't final

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Major sources of hate speech are located outside the US. Well yeah, we have this conversation every few months. And every few months people reject the bright shiny evidence that easiest way to ruin America is to feed the hate and bigotry that already exists here.

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

This is a stunning story. I've been tracking the "greenhushing" narrative for a while now: this is the idea that strict regulations on fake climate claims spooks companies into total silence; therefore we shouldn't regulate them.

If you didn’t leave X when Musk did a Nazi salute, now’s a great time too.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
