I only need AI to generate ideas.
And then I need AI to generate text describing those ideas.
And then I need AI to generate images based on that text.
And then I need AI to generate nice comments when I post all of this because real people are mean to me.

one thing I find ridiculous is that people claim to find AI so useful for "idea generation", when I and every other remotely creative person I know has more incredible ideas than they can complete in a few lifetimes.
If you need AI for ideas, no you don't -- you need to be more creative.

Seeing everyone’s art/ui work today inspiring❤️ The diverse graphic details help me think about my WIP art direction.
Zero Day Bandits (my Netrunner-inspired deckbuilder RPG) is still deep in prototype mode — placeholders everywhere. Thanks for hosting @runelightowl.bsky.social

Getting ready for the next playtest of Ultrawolves (superhero space werewolves!) next week. Also getting some awesome sketches of some of the werewolves from @johnlattaart.bsky.social , like this awesome one of the "Dogsbreath", a werewolf with acid blood and creates noxious acid clouds.

Am I the only one who felt Bondi's uh "performance" wasn't for anyone in the room or even anyone watching it on TV? It felt (like so many other similarly baffling performances) for an audience of 1: her boss.

Rather than offering a revolutionary new approach to gig work, RentAHuman is filled with bots that just want me to be another cog in the AI hype machine.

The upside of this: If you want to know the precise details of what boot leather tastes like, you can ask the fine leaders at this once-prestigious polling place!
If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Hey y'all.
A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.
Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

God, I just realized I am on my 6th year (going to be 7 in September) of my Pathfinder 2e campaign. It's been an amazing run, and my longest consistent (there have been multiple month breaks for life stuff here and there) campaign by a lot.
