Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.
Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’

The 2014 RoboCop was better than I was expecting - and the Pat Novak character really links to current US political commentators clearly (sadly)

This is insane - but I think Amazon actually updated my eBook to its second edition.

Never had the chance to watch this with JPN audio - might try to rectify that in 2026.

My campaign for The Dark Side of Super's audio book is still going for 12~ more days. There's still plenty of time to snag some swag, or even a copy of the audio book.
Any support is VERY MUCH appreciated! Scream unto the void with me.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!
It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!
So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖
