A professional fox PNG who has way too many interests. Games, art, animation, hardware, software, comics, you name it, I'm probably into it in some way, shape, or form. I make videos and am always interested in trying to learn new things.

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.
Philosophy Tube is made by properly paid artists; no AI slop, no sussy sponsorships from mobile games and mattress companies. If you want there to still be a place for proper art on the internet then please support your friendly neighbourhood content creator, whether that’s me or someone else ❤️

so if Grok was a humanoid robot, at this point we'd simply take it behind the shed and blow its positronic 'brains' out
and everyone — including Asimov, rolling about in his grave — would agree that's the only sane and safe thing to do

Went to check if this screenshot (posted by @aric.bsky.social) was real (it is) and then made the mistake of also scrolling through Grok's replies on X. Still constantly cranking out sexualised images of young girls. Beyond bleak.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Yeah, hugely disappointed by Shesez here. Sweet Baby Inc was not "designed to consult and steer more inclusion" into games. They are brought on purposefully as a second opinion on narrative by large studios. They're script doctors. There's no pressure campaign to hire them.

when checking out the opt-in discover feature on gumroad, I did some math and found that if a sale was made through discover, after gumroad and pay processing fees, taxes, and what I as my business can then pay myself, I'd take home something like $19.50 for a $50 avatar sale.
