Aliens is a very weird movie to watch with present day inflation. The human LinkedIn post keeps talking about "millions of dollars" like it's an otherworldly amount of money.

Deadlock might have the hooks in me. There's something about the aesthetic of the game landing between Discworld and Hellboy that speaks to my soul. Almost all these characters would slot right in to Ankh-Morpork

Cancelled plans means lounging around the house bare faced and in jeans for the first time in ages. Feels really weird after wearing skirts and dresses almost exclusively for weeks!

I keep thinking about the prospect of a Stephen Kingiverse fighting game if only because an entire season of DLC where every character is Randall Flagg would be extremely funny.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

In my wildest dreams I could never have imagined a more gratuitous sign that AI is a bubble than “chance the rapper, sponsored by coreweave.” It’s beautiful. It’ll be in a movie someday

Wow, y'all have sent some very good questions AND gave me a reason to redownload Arm Joe. Thank you for that.
Big news, I made an Alterspring. I had mentioned doing an AMA video to celebrate 50k subs. I'll be using these questions for it (provided there is enough interest.)

Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can.
Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop.
Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵

Building on the ancient scroll, I wonder if another mechanism is the nature of "yes and" feedback. It also makes me wonder if that same mechanism is at play for the onset of AI-fueled delusions. It could also help explain why some influencers seem like they live on a different planet.
