People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

Bsky is currently giving me the kind of anxiety where I want to throw myself into the ocean so I'm going to delete it off my phone for a bit. I'm still on insta or discord if you need me ✌🏻

Really stoked that @fantagraphics.bsky.social is putting out Corto Maltese next year. Seems they are not 1:1 of the IDW sets. The first volume will have all of Fable of Venice and three stories that were in IDWs book, Under the Sign of Capricorn.
More folks should have access to these great books

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”
