Naoki Kubo is responsible for platforming some of my favorite artists, like Hideo Azuma and Fumio Nakajima.

Lemon People was a lightning rod for one of the most vital artistic movements of '80s otaku culture.

Comic Lo and ilk would not have been possible without it.

The industry owes a debt.

One of the funny things about chatgpt pivoting to porn is that Meta already tried that just a few months ago.

Zuckerberg made a John Cena chatbot that would sext with children.

Then, a few months later, Zuckerberg *did it again*. Same results.

idk how to make this clear without getting screenshotted out of context but I really think you should be able to make fiction that unilaterally portrays [MOST DEPRAVED SUBJECT YOU COULD THINK OF] in a positive light and, if you want to, sell it for money

The way these guys strain against mortality is only going to get weirder tbh. I would caution anyone against conspiratorial thinking that "they know something we don't" because, first and foremost, these techlord guys are morons

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

I think a lot about how we have so many systems in place that are literally life saving 24/7 contingencies that exist purely on the idea that the most insane morons would never come into power and completely fuck them up overnight.
