Wanna see something ~amazing~?!

This is the cover of KAIJU GAGA, beautifully illustrated by @normgrock.bsky.social! 🤩

I grew up reading @chooseadventure.bsky.social, so it's thrilling to see my name on a book with that iconic red logo. I loved writing it and I hope kids (and you!) love reading it.

Great conversation. Please watch. I had no idea that the budget bill that was going through Congress has a clause in it that says AI cannot be regulated by the government for the next 10 years. How does that help anyone?

"I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." — Hayao Miyazaki

Art is made by people: a result of decades of life experience, training, mistakes, tough days and long nights – all culminating in the act of creation.

GenAI may replicate, but it can never, ever create.
