Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

I am really struggling with this. I thought it was bad but just a "older artist not getting it" thing when my regional arts org messed around with AI for their event advertising. That seems to have phased out. But this? This is a local school district teaching students to use AI for ideation...

We report: a lot of the time, when we think about November during all the other months of the year, it is something like this; that or the rain, but there has not been as much of that so far. In this way, as all our memories match up, we live in all of our Novembers at once.
Digital painting of a sunset sky, an expanse of orange and purple clouds through which yellow light filters in, highlighting the shapes of the long, crenelated clouds. A flight of birds moves in a line in the distance.

Just found out that they're following up Simon the Sorcerer Origins by remaking the original Simon the Sorcerer. I have OPINIONS.

First of all, I'm on Ch 5? 6? of Origins. And I'm going to have to make a video at some point to properly compare, but...

I don't know if any of you caught my last stream, but I think it might be among the best paintings I've ever done.

I've checked out the Simon the Sorcerer: Origins demo and now I reeeally want to do a play-through of the full game with commentary and comparisons to the 1993 experience.

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”. Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

This whole section really.
Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
