Colorado State University is introducing its new... chatbot. It's called RamGPT.

This is a reference to CSU's mascot Cam the Ram.

It's also a reference to Big Tech's zeal to "ram" LLMs into every product and service.

And to AI's depletion of the world's RAM supply. #TripleEntendre

in a refreshing change of pace, both bandcamp and games workshop announced this week that they've banned AI to varying extents. these stances are crucial during a time when AI is being rammed down our throats at every turn, and some people are starting to accept it

I do not use any AI in any books I publish on my website. No DRM, either.

AI is for people who like to tank the water supply and jack up electricity bills while they pretend to be creative. That's not what I'm about.

Sorry about the lack of general updates. A lot of stop and go. Here's what's going on:

My dad has developed a delusion from using ChatGPT. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's a real and recent phenomenon. Please do some research on A.I. psychosis.

Scott Adams passed away today.

Dilbert played the same role for me that Mad Magazine played for kids in earlier generations: it introduced me to satire, language, and archetypes.

I was very sorry for what Scott Adams became later on. @yellowscenemag.bsky.social

Some more from Bela Tarr:

This is the theme music from Werckmeister Harmonies. One of the most haunting movie themes I've ever heard, and a perfect fit for a such a haunting film. youtu.be/ad5alnTNGBU

I heard that filmmaker Bela Tarr passed away. I have only seen his movie Werckmeister Harmonies.

The ending of the movie, as the old man contemplates the whale, is one of those moments in film I will never forget. youtu.be/6b-1lh0i4Y8

Oh what a fun find at the thrift store. A signed print! Let’s look up the artist, maybe I could commission some work. Genevieve Tsai, who’s that…

Lead character designer on the Animaniacs reboot. Worked on The Wild Robot… for which she won an Annie Award.

No wonder the art looks so darn good.

Thanks for your work, @atgonzalez.bsky.social!
Always happy to be a part of this project! Ellison is my favorite author and Angry Candy is a book that hit me deep down in the feels.

The recent reading sessions I needed to finish these summaries were my most profound. "Eidolons" in particular, messed me up and is very relevant to today.
Tonight is a major update for the #HarlanEllison Directory. @atgonzalez.bsky.social has contributed write-ups for all stories from Ellison's 1988 book Angry Candy. Angry Candy includes award-winners like Paladin of the Lost Hour and The Function of Dream Sleep. www.ndhfilms.com/other/elliso...
