Less than 30 followers away from 1,000.

Remember, when we hit 1,000. I do intend on doing an AMA on Bluesky. I don't forget my promises XD

That is genuinely spectacular.

Large scale Timber Wolf fun the Battletech kickstarter, painted in the scheme of Steve Venters' piece. It's only a paper moon in the background

Doom and Gloom by Marco Mazzoni, depicting the #GrandTitan for #Battletech.

It's apart of the big Grand Titan Video I released last Friday.

It can be found here: youtu.be/eZpQc4Xxii0

Apologies for the Nightshade's particular impact on this image, unfortunately it hurts dark images the most.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I asked @michaelastackpole.bsky.social during one of his AMAs if he could make a Battletech Force Pack, which mechs would it consist of. So, I painted his answer.

Big Red: More #GrandTitan art you say?

"Pls Big Red, no more Artwork! We'll be Free Worlds Leagued to death!"

"Such is the fate of all lesser lifeforms that stand in the way of the progress of House Marik!"

Another great piece from the #GrandTitan video (Found her: youtu.be/eZpQc4Xxii0)

Hope you all enjoy. :)

That's absolutely absurd. Humanity has 0 reason to do this beyond the independent fancies of the mentally and emotionally depraved.

This "dominant" species argument doesn't work either, as an Super AI would functionally exterminate complex life on the planet too. Its beyond immoral.

BIG_RED_40TECH @bigred40tech.bsky.social · 3d

Let alone having it first functionally exterminating ourselves with it. And worse, it'll kill all the innocent creatures on this planet that just want to survive. From fish, to your dogs.

The genuinely pure evil that oozes from these people, and the AI industry as a whole, is sickening.

While I don't like the WSJ, thank goodness people are finally starting to bring to light this death-cult.

Genuinely, making some kind of horrifying alien-intelligence abomination to go around space and wipe out other species, and thinking that is progress, is heinously irresponsible. -

With the mass fraud that's about to be unleashed with Sora 2, not to mention the mass theft that was required to make it. I think it's also time to remind people that some of the "people" working on #AI literally want to end humanity so it can colonize space. This world is too good for such people.-

Last night I had a request from some people who wanted to see the #GrandTitan trailer I put together to promote the video in the hours leading up to its release. Here it is, for those of you on Bluesky.

It was a really fun thing to put together.

Honestly, my favourite piece of artwork for the channel to date. I love everything that's been done for it, but Marco's scene here is just perfect. The mood. The action. It's amazing. Marco Mazzoni is a Wizard for making this

Oh neat.

It's a pretty cool #Battlemech for #Battletech. I was really happy to show off the new appearance for the #GrandTitan. I am of course, a fan-creator, so I do my best to get things right in my analysis and storytelling. But I hope everyone enjoys. :)

Data breaches are the norm for most sites.

There will be one for Bluesky. Or any other social media platform, at some point.

This gif encompasses my life after posting the #Grandtitan video and vibing all day as people watch it.

It's been a really positive reception. Genuinely, thank you everyone whose watched and interacted with it. It's been so much fun.
