Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

“…the creators of these [nonconsensual, violent AI] images often seemed to be treating the action like a game or meme, with an air of laughter & detachment.”

Representation in media is valuable because it allows us to see our experiences reflected and communicate those to people who do not share them.

It doesn't even need to be dark. My go-to here is @magicariot.com. The story is uplifting and fun. It also doesn't sugarcoat the real struggles we face.

you should draw more, write more, or make more games. If you don't, consider picking up a craft!

If light novels count, I'm either a prince or an apothecary crime solver. If they don't, I'm head of the city watch in Ankh-Morpork
Unfortunately the last book I read was A Christmas Carol so I guess my job is Victorian loan shark

My most amusing quality as a GM is that I get a new game, make around a half a dozen characters, then realize I can't play them all unless I use them as NPCs

I am not in competition with anyone.
always baffles me when I see “but writers/creatives/etc. HAVE to use AI to remain competitive!”

besides AI writing being worse, there’s no evidence it gives any real advantage over not using it. you’d still have to fix all its screw ups, which takes time you could use to do it right the first time.

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but merely took a measured, near-lethal dose of tetrodotoxin; a neurotoxin found in the pufferfish, that can emulate the appearance of death.

Which is why his body disappeared right before the second murder! He was never the first victim, but the killer himself!

Playing Dispatch and now I just want to make an episode on "games that people don't consider games." ...working title

say what you will about Andrew Tate, but his decision to not have a chin likely saved his life in that fight. Just one of those uppercuts would've killed Bruce Campbell.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.
