“Instead of trying to solve cancer….it’s going after storytelling, it’s going after illustrations, it’s gonna write your song for you. It’s like saying it’s gonna breathe for you, it’s gonna fuck for you. It’s gonna take away.”

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Next time I take a dump I’m going to visit the bathroom three times before doing it, then once I’m finished I’ll run around the flat like Usain Bolt.

See how the cats like it.

Chalking up one chase dream during Xmas and another dream hiding from Godzilla by running to the basement in an office building in Tokyo.

Would you change your GP doctor if you found out they were using ChatGPT or some other AI and fed all your patient notes into it?
