ZeZe’s dead twin sister urges him back to the place she died, Gulch Hall, before internet celebs turn it into a B&B.

Arriving, ZeZe finds something far worse than vapid celebs—

Under new paint lurks a horrid past unwilling to divest from Gulch Hall or ZeZe’s sister.

@brenthartinger.bsky.social really hitting where it hurts today—

Brent always has good takes-this makes me sad…but he’s right.

Flummoxed by the sudden reanimation of his dead lover, William becomes pseudo-caretaker for the undead and finds himself elbow deep in several people. Literally. Now William must satiate his lover’s growing hunger or doom his happily-ever-after. #questpit #LGBT #H #R

It's not knee-jerk. It's an environmentally-destructive technology designed to fetishize idea over effort and excise artists from art in order to make techlords richer by plagiarizing pre-existing material made by *actual* creative people and not quote-unquote "prompt engineers."
I get the knee-jerk reaction against generative AI, especially with how much of it gets wrapped up in the whole Silicon Valley tech-bro culture.

But I fear we’re seriously missing the mark in writing it off entirely like this. There’s a ton of creativity happening with advanced prompt engineering.
I get why techbros and their ilk like gen-AI: artists and writers to them are just an obstacle to be bypassed. But I'll never get an author/artist/musician who uses it. "I want to be a writer." No you don't. You fetishize ideas but hate the work. You don't respect the craft or its practitioners.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
