These motherfuckers who shill AI keep saying 'the genie is out of the bottle'.
You realise that stories are full of ways to trick the fucking genie back into the bottle, right?
You keep using that metaphor but I do not think it means what you think it means.

A quick post for anyone who just bought a 3D printer in the Black Friday sales.
I design nostalgic prints for wargaming that are easy to print on an FDM printer with no supports so there is no hassle removing them.

If only the Telegraph did some proper journalism and tore this guy's story apart like @monkemma.bsky.social has. This is hilarious.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

The challenge starts this Monday! I have been getting some practice reps in every day, slowly building up to do 100 a day in September. Will you sponsor me to help fund Cancer Research UK?
I am doing 100 push-ups a day in September and it's all for @cancerresearchuk.org Too many people I know have either died or are dying from cancer, so I would really appreciate any donations to help fund life-saving research to beat it.

Maz is brilliant, and if you're new to the games industry then advice from someone who's been there and is doing it successfully is worth more than rubies.
meanwhile, I'm opening up free consultation slots again from Sept, so if you're a TTRPG person who'd benefit from a bit of focussed chat about (a) spreadsheets (b) running a functional micromultinational enterprise or (c) creating books for absolute sickos, hit me up docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
