Consoling myself with this as we continue to put out 1 or perhaps 10 articles/reviews a month lmao. It's giving the people 🫴 authenticity.
Could a bot make art this inconsistently? Huh?

If I was a young person or creator just starting out on the internet today, I’d have no clue how to convince people I was real or that I made my own art myself.
You all only know I’m real because I’ve been around for awhile. I use that same reasoning for other creators I know are real.

On December 9th, the doors of Waterfalls at Dawn will open for a once in a lifetime showcase of the raw creative talent of illusive artist Maurice Clayborn. Only the paranormal investigators Saint Garcia Flores and Agent Alister McAndrews will have the opportunity to see what he has in store.

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

Keep it up folks! Do your dailies! Call the paypros and call your reps too! I'll be sending some letters in the mail as well today.
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

I feel like marketing wants me to make all sorts of grandiose statements about being the best at this or that. All I really want to say is that Heartspell is a thing we really wanted to make and we think it's really special and fun and you might really love it too.
