I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

In addition to the yelling about “abolish ice” and “prosecute ice” (which I agree with!) here is a nice thread with some tangible actions with corresponding risk assessments that can create positive impacts in your community.

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Does anyone know where I can research how to make a graphic novel pitch pdf? I’m following the guidelines from publishers I want to submit to but I wanna guide on how artists actually pitch themselves for reference…?

A Black Mom who lost her job a few months ago is having a hard time making rent these past few months. She does on-demand delivery to get by but had to spend on car repairs, and this month she won’t make it. If we each give $1 she’ll reach her goal. We’ve helped 158 people so far, let’s keep going.

Fans of enemies to lovers? This one's for you 👇🏿👇🏿
When two ex-best friends are reluctantly crowned persons of honor, their petty feud escalates into all-out sabotage. When the bride vanishes a day before the wedding, they’re forced into a frantic search, only to discover the one thing they can’t sabotage is their feelings. #DVPit #romcom #MF #Black

A teen wizard runs a magic makeup business with resources from his Fae, Merfolk and Undead friends. When he learns someone is stealing these same items–and there’s a link to his missing dads–he must find the thief or risk losing his friends, his business and the chance to find his parents #DVPit #GN

The mock bigotry against AI trend on TikTok quickly escalated into people using it as a smoke screen to be racist to Black people.
It’s easier to dismiss valid critique as disingenuous on here because you assume the only people making the critique are white.

The problem with white people creating slurs for AI.
The entire selling point of AI is that it does jobs that people do and even simulates human behavior, but doesn’t have to be treated like a person (time off, wages, human rights, etc).
This replicates a servant/enslaved class. That’s the appeal

Sadly it turns out my PC is not just pining for the fjords. It has passed on and is no more.
I'm trying to have a new build up in the next few days but it's going to be expensive. If you want to throw a few bucks my way it's appreciated but never expected. Watching my VODs/YouTube helps for free! 💜

WELP! My PC might be well and truly dead. Been trying to get it running in safe mode all morning but it looks like I'll need to take it apart.
Please wish me luck that I can fix it and get back to streaming later this week.
