"AI is a tool."
No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal.
Stop validating it, even in passing.

"Yes you're allowed to gang tackle a dog while playing basketball, go check the rules"
there are a lot of Dems out there who are finally drafting their own dog to play basketball after being dunked on over and over again instead of just complaining to the refs
they're just in the states instead of DC

This is really something. Trump/GOP efforts to rig midterms running into serious trouble

setting aside everything else wrong with this, it's utterly wild to say this shit in a world where math is literally the one thing that no one needs a socially inept asshole for anymore
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

Because calling Panera's product "the lemonade that kills you" got them to act super fast.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

The thing about “intentional” cheesemaking is that it has to be preceded by “unintentional” cheesemaking and then “intentional” consumption of whatever the hell that was followed by a period in which the kind of person who would do that has to convince everyone else it’s a good idea too.
