Generative AI is only viable because it was trained on millions and millions of works of human creators without permission. Writing, Art, Coding, Music, etc. The very same people whose work was exploited now have to compete with industrial plagiarism of their efforts.

I know I attended Neotropolis, Im still unpacking and I have the dirt in my truck to prove it, but it went by so fast I can barely believe it happened. That's why appreciate photographers like Preston Yarger for shots like this to bring me back!

Had an amazing time meeting up with my good friend @zmadere.bsky.social in San Francisco today! His wife is way cooler than he is! It’s been almost six years since we’ve seen each other and it felt like no time had passed!

My inaugural post will be to share some amazing pictures from Preston Yarger of my costume last year for NEOTROPOLIS!
