Given the shitstorm that’s hit the teams behind The Alters, Magic: The Gathering, and Jurassic World Evolution 3 (among other titles), I’d be deeply intrigued to hear why someone would consider it a safe move to use generative AI on their project at this point - let alone go all-in on it.

I'm getting real tired of not being able to trust that a video game doesn't have AI crap in it:

killing characters off has become somewhat of a cliché. be more original without losing any of the heartbreak by having your characters all dead at the beginning, and one by one coming back to life as the story progresses, to their empty homes, broken families and meaningless existences

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

My favourite bad argument from the history of philosophy
You say that you have a dog? Yes, a villain of a one, said Clesippus. And he has puppies? Yes, and they are very like himself. And the dog is the father of them? Yes, he said, I certainly saw him and the mother of the puppies come together. And is he not yours? To be sure he is. Then he is a father, and he is yours; ergo, he is your father, and the puppies are your brothers.

'Les Fleurs du Mal' - Oil and gold leaf on paper - 2014

My homage to the French poet Charles Baudelaire.
The Flowers of Evil is a dreamlike and symbolist work paying homage to Charles Baudelaire. It incorporates references to major themes from Les Fleurs du Mal. On the left, a dark wreck emerges from turbulent waves, evoking Man and the Sea or The Voyage, symbolizing wandering and the quest for the infinite. Above, a colossal feminine figure, framed by shadows and branches, recalls The Giantess, embodying a sublime and unsettling beauty. At the center, three women stand as allegorical figures or enigmatic muses, intertwined with gold and shadow, representing ideals, temptation, and melancholy. Their posture suggests a mystical dance or ritual, surrounded by feathers and flowing veils. The orientalist architecture in the background, with domes and golden mosaics, echoes Baudelaire’s fascination with exoticism and distant landscapes, as seen in poems like Exotic Perfume. The composition blends chaos and luxury, enhanced by the use of gold leaf, which amplifies the themes of decadence and the allure of the sacred.

Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it

An MIT Energy Initiative study finds many climate-stabilization plans are based on questionable assumptions about the future cost and deployment of “direct air capture” and therefore may not bring abo...

whatever, Trotsky, probably other stuff could happen instead of all that -- you're such a doomer
Both theoretical analysis as well as the rich historical experience of the last quarter of a century have demonstrated with equal force that fascism is each time the final link of a specific political cycle composed of the following: the gravest crisis of capitalist society; the growth of the radicalization of the working class; the growth of sympathy toward the working class, and a yearning for change on the part of the rural and urban petty bourgeoisie; the extreme confusion of the big bourgeoisie; its cowardly and treacherous maneuvers aimed at avoiding the revolutionary climax; the exhaustion of the proletariat; growing confusion and indifference; the aggravation of the social crisis; the despair of the petty bourgeoisie, its yearning for change; the collective neurosis of the petty bourgeoisie, its readiness to believe in miracles, its readiness for violent measures; the growth of hostility towards the proletariat, which has deceived its expectations. These are the premises for a swift formation of a fascist party and its victory.

today's life drawing class had the model stay in motion the entire time - it was unbelievably difficult but also probably my favourite life drawing class so far; i probably filled about 15 pages of newsprint, but these are my favourite four
