#Trailmates
I once got lost by accidentally going off trail in what was essentially a very large paddock. Within 10 mins I was completely disoriented, none of the landmarks made sense, and I couldn't hear trailmates. In daylight, clear conditions, with barely any ground cover.

AI trails is wildly irresponsible
I just, what is the point even of a trail-generator?? Maybe I hike too much for something like this to be at all tempting, but . . . Trails aren’t, like, roads? Your choices are pretty limited, comparatively, so the only way I see this working is if it creates routes OFF-TRAIL.

Which . . . NO!!!
Don’t use AI to identify whether or not a plant is edible.

Don’t use AI to generate a trail route.

Don’t use AI to create a recipe.

Don’t use AI for creative work (it turns your brain into mush!).

Maybe, like, don’t use AI!!

Sliding in under the wire and buying comics at @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social before it ends. The typography in trailmates is so cool!!!

Loved that horse. Had to prove the precise problem to trailmates by turning him around like hands of a clock and…yep…’party time’ came only when that canyon wind pointed to “due ass” 🥰

Trailmates by @hal-monitor.bsky.social grabbed me with its bold 2-colour art style and chunky, graphical page layouts. It's a really nice story told with flair and fun, and another one that left me wanting to see mre of the characters.
