For my latest @aiptcomics.com deep dive, I sat down with @kierongillen.bsky.social and @stephaniehans.bsky.social to talk all things ‘Die.’ Definitely one of my favorite chats of the year, and we get into so much about the book, their collaboration, storytelling, fantasy, etc. Enjoy!

in many ways the writers saying "oh no they killed Bond!" makes me more worried that they thought Sean Connery, Daniel Craig and everyone in between were playing the exact same character with consistent memories and shared experiences, I find that viscerally upsetting

such a good demonstration of how AI agglomerates knowledge through predicting text: this is every single bean recipe that you’ve ever seen in your life, all at once, complete with 1/8 spoon of cinnamon (just trust me)
I am obsessed with this guy in the Rancho Gordo FB Group who decided to spend hours working with AI to figure out "the best" bean recipe instead of.....looking at actual recipes
Truly an abomination — and such a good example of how AI tricks us into thinking we can reinvent the wheel with its help

Very sad to see. Self publishing is hard enough, I can only imagine the stress of running an imprint. It really is time for a serious review of arts funding in Scotland, my personal experience is that it's inadequate and arbitrary. Why grants can't be made to expand on hard won success is beyond me.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
