post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

I'll do you two, a pair of albums that made me who I am in so many ways

Never seen Gen Z so horny for movie characters as they are for Oona Chaplin’s Varang and Jacob Elordi’s Frankenstein’s creature. The shot of Timmy Chalamet’s butt in Marty Supreme didn’t do anything. The age of monster fuckers is upon us.

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Never seen this so devastatingly and lucidly articulated.
Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.

But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.
I had five fascinating conversations for this RPS piece, gathering perspectives on genAI chatbots in games, as seen in Where Winds Meet. Thanks to @meghna.bsky.social, @pyrofoux.bsky.social, @maxkreminski.bsky.social, and @chrisgardiner.bsky.social www.rockpapershotgun.com/horrible-bor...

Perdido Street Station

Just imagine a New Crobuzon TV series with a Rings of Power budget.

And since I have unlimited budget, we'd be doing it as a 24-episode season, with world-building and character-building episodes, as God intended
OK, less contentious post:

You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?

For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

Thinking of the actor Ernest Thesiger, who, when asked what it had been like in the trenches of World War One, replied "my dear, the noise! And the PEOPLE!"

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them.

Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”
