Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves.

Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

When I worked in a small town computer store circa 2003, we called this stuff "malware," and most of our customers paid us to get it off their machines. They just remade BonzaiBuddy while telling us it's good now.
“More than any other digital service, my email is a window into my brain. Now Meta has it. If that's not enough, Muse also suggested I give it my bank accounts. No thanks. I didn't let the AI run wild on my computer hard drive, either.”

This.

I strongly believe a lot of men have no idea how often women contend with this, and how it can stunt their ambitions.
Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Absolutely same here. And it’s not censorship when jk has said she literally sees fanart as free advertising that directly funds her hate campaign against trans people.
Sorry for the VERY personal thread here but I'm going to share this as a personal boundary since apparently it's an art trend now.

I will be unfollowing those who make Harry Potter based content/art. I apologize because I'm normally draw as you will, but this is a hard line.

More details why 👇

I desperately want Democrats to pay attention and acknowledge that THIS is the "center" or "moderate" position, in agreement with the majority, not the "radical left", and to act accordingly.
Latest WSJ poll:

"63% want to pause AI development
61% want a billionaire wealth tax
59% want Medicare for All
57% want a $20 minimum wage
58% want to end U.S. military aid to Israel"

This is the center of the country politically. it is time all adjust to this political spectrum, esp. media.

True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.
We should treat genAI in publishing the way you’d treat a vampire trying to enter your home. You never give it permission to enter. It doesn’t matter if it‘s polite or makes generous offers or it’s *only* going to take the ones *you* don’t care about. It’s here for your blood. Don’t let it in.
What the fuck, Joyce. I don’t even read romance novels but this kind of thinking pisses me the fuck off. It further pushes that mentality that some books as “lesser” which is bullshit! All books count!

While there are no data sources on Long COVID in prison, experts suspect rates of the disease may be higher there than in the general population. They face high reinfection risks and poor access to medical care.

I love how this tech can be counted in hours old and already stories of data breaches and doxing. But yes let’s underpin the global economy on such things cos you can’t stop the future and the bottle is smash open on the floor cos your day drunk on ai.
Meta's "Muse" launched with a nasty zero day flaw that gave hackers the ability to spy on Mac users, openly gives root access to people pretending to be Muse agents, and invited strangers over to another guy's house without telling him

I had a conversation w a Lyft driver a few weeks ago that I still think about. I hope this musician, eager to share her art, finds her way to teaching. While the conversation started rocky, Im glad she got an opportunity to talk about her ambitions. Piano teachers are way more valuable than A.I.

This is where all the things everyone loves about living in a civil & civic community start to die. Like food, clothes, art, books, video games, movies, public parks, libraries, walkable neighborhoods, clean air, etc? TOO BAD! Go be a* lawyer or a doctor or join the military -those are your options.
Beginning in 2027: “If your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, music, & cosmetic certification programs will be hit the hardest.”

Graphite on paper.

I've missed creating creepy art a lot. Right now, I'm at a point where I feel like I want to scream, but I have to remain polite and, yeah... now I have new doodles for weird art.

This is an extremely interesting thread, documenting this

I mean if you're surprised that AI, which is foundationally about stealing the labour of people without their permission and creating a fake simulacra who never refuses their demands, has consent issues, I dunno what to tell you
Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below.

Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.
