(£400 of loan repayments coming out two days earlier than normal, huzzah!)

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

The thing I find most depressing about AI mash up slop is that it reveals a rot of imagination that exists among many many people. These people don’t really want to think critically, or think at all. Not even forming a deeply personal opinion. They just want signifiers of popularity to confirm taste

One for the Christian Zionist in your life

Ultimately Silicon Valley’s fatal flaw is that it has a glut of losers in a loser echo chamber and they have no idea why nobody else thinks their ideas are good and fun

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

It will never not make me sad how unknown jiri trnka is. literally my favorite puppeteer ever. if there were any justice in the world he'd be held up on a pedestal as high as aardman or laika

It may not be cool, it may not be classy, but it IS stupid

the irony of having a one-on-one HR layoff meeting in the conference room with my Loki mural on it

THAT is the lothario I've been hearing about, pied pipering young men into the abyss with his tips on how to be the top man in the pack? THIS?

this might be just the sort of brutal journalism that generation needs

amazing

this is how everyone interacts with movies/TV/books now

A photo from behind the scenes on filming Revenge of the Sith. Against a bluescreen backdrop, George Lucas snarls and raises his hands to the sky, as Ian McDiarmid in full costume as Palpatine, does similarly in the background.

can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships

Miniature batch for this weekend: Knife dwarf, dwarf with robot sherpa, mining laser dwarf, Glass Man for Frostgrave, gun dwarf #tabletop #miniaturepainting

Going to be so funny watching people try and act like this never happened one day

Working on a super colourful old school orc baby :)

So much fun. I'll probably end up using an oil wash to tie everything together, but it'll still be much brighter compared to my other minis :p

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

now it's time for the game that's fun for the whole family: think of a single thing that david zaslav did that worked or was good, just anything, name a single thing, the hammer is still cocking back on the pistol, anything at all

Andy's probably my favourite one-man miniature company not coming to Salute. I've been buying his models since he did a Thrud in 2007(?) and love his range. Always worth a look.

“A standard correction noting a few missing details won’t cut it. The entire premise of the article — that this company represents the exciting realization of AI’s business potential — is nonsense. Every element of the narrative is tainted”🧵

Quark chyron on the news with Quark speaking

News used to be better

The Imposter Syndrome Face Possessor? The guy who always looks like he knows he’s one follow-up question away from being exposed as a fraud but he’s gobsmacked nobody will actually ask him one? Like to the point where he wonders if we’re the ones doing the bit & not him? That guy?

You don’t say.

*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

this goes hard as fuck
