Not gonna lie, I keep watching this over and over and think to myself folks developing this tech deserve this treatment every hour of every day.

Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

As is my tradition, I’ve finished my reading of “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” May we find courage and fidelity in the new year.

“Rain smacked Los Angeles. It splattered on the palm trees, sizzled on the neon, gurgled down the dirty boulevard. The town was sick. They hadn’t seen sunlight in almost a day. But I had the cure. A fifth of magic and a sack full of cold, hard joy. ‘Ho,’ I said once. It was enough.”

Bari Weiss is innovating entire new dimensions of failure. She's failing in ways hitherto unconceived of. A pioneer of failology. A faileontologist. Whole career is a Fail Mary. She's beyond the fail. The Daily Fail. She's on the quest for the Holy Fail. Making tomato and Fail Salad.

Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film…
25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE!
Can’t wait for you to see it.
So, so proud of our team.
We’ve made something a bit special.

Generative LLMs are not inevitable. They do not have to be here to stay. Refuse the narrative.
And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Why does it seem like only men are all “AI is here to stay?” Why is it that all the AI bros are … bros? Why is it that AI porn is aimed at men and not women? Men, it’s time to have a sit with ourselves and consider why we’re so broken. Leave the AI jerkfest and go make something with your hands.
"It’s time to face reality, AI is here to stay" - Kingdom Come: Deliverance head Daniel Vávra says Larian got a "crazy shitstorm" for doing what "absolutely everyone else is doing", and that while he's "no fan of AI generated art" it's going nowhere.
