Imagine investing the world economy in data centers just to get beaten by a girl with a box of pencils.
From "Frieren" Season 2 ending, animated with colored pencils by Mimei Aoume (she had already worked on Season 1 ending).

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Apropos of nothing have you considered unionizing lately? If you're in the US consider looking into the Freelancers Union
This whole space needs to fucking UNIONIZE. From designers, to Actual Play people, to the worked in your LGS. All of us from the bottom to the top.

I've written several AAA lore bibles, including one for an effin' MMO, long before llms even existed. If I can do it, there's no excuse for you
Whenever I hear devs or other creatives who do worldbuilding say they *have* to use ch*tGPT to help with their lore bibles because no human could possibly collate such a huge and complex world… I glare in historian

Remembering the most genius yuri i ever read, about a retired magical girl in her 30s who still lives with her mascot and it goes exactly where you think it's going, its 100% sincere and beautiful, and even ends up feeling like a lovely metaphor for relationships when youre very disabled...

There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female.
But the heart and soul have much more personality.
It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words.

It’s funny cuz unlike say, Amazon there is no compelling or legitimate argument to make for the necessity of using this garbage app, for anyone. If you have access to Spotify, you have access to less evil alternatives.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.
