ChatGPT launched three years ago. Now the web is filling with slop.
We can rewild it, but we'll need to get creative...

Today I’m launching The Human-Made Project, a simple and decentralized way to label creative works as being made by a human, not by AI. thehumanmade.org

I did this fun yo-yo + music combo with Bashi Bashi. I'm doing an original yo-yo style called Möbius, which utilizes the slipknot on the end of the yo-yo string. https://www.instagram.com/p/DSug-0NkqG1/ #yoyo

Rainbows and storm clouds. #SanFrancisco
A bright rainbow between storms in San Francisco. The sky is blue, but the ground is wet. The view is of a street in the Mission district. A storm cloud splits down the sky on a rainy afternoon. Currently, most of the sky is blue, with the sun peeking behind a giant storm cloud to the west.

Today's #SidewalkFriends sketch is a jolly old Mari Lwyid, inspired by a splash of dried white paint on the sidewalk. #MariLwyid
The finished drawing of Mari Lwyd, who has a horse skull or a head and purple rubies for eyes. The Mari Lwyd is wearing a wreath on its head and a long flowing robe. The text says “Mari Lwydmas” A patch of sidewalk with white paint spilled on top. The paint is dry and looks like it has been there for a while. It looks like it was spilled by accident.

Everything Harry Potter got should have gone to Discworld instead.

I don’t care that 41 is a lot more movies than 8.

Ah yes, the Four Stages of EDM.
A flier that says “four stages of EDM and live music”. It’s a promo flier but you can’t see any other info in the photo. The background image clearly ai generated though.

This got me thinking about what facts a test case for defamation could uncover about the broad unpopularity of GenAI and what such an accusation could do to a developer’s reputation.

Sounds kind of… important

Maybe even… necessary 👀

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.

The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.

It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

Some footage of the #sanfrancisco Night Parade. In celebration of the winter solstice, we started at Precita Park and weaved through the Mission for an hour. #nightparade #missiondistrict

Print is back in SF! I’m so excited to see the first print edition of the Gazetteer distributed for free in local coffee shops. Lots of great articles and local news in this issue. https://sf.gazetteer.co/
A copy of a newspaper titled “Gazetteer San Francisco” sitting in a table in a coffee shop. It’s a little thinner than the old SF Weekly papers, but it looks great.
