I think James Gunn misunderstands the true nature of Superman Gun's Superman shies away from the character's alien nature

A uniformly bad take. And the many comments below the article agree it's a bad take.

Still the best A.I.

Hawley's explained that he approached the series by initially taking the Xenomorph out of the equation and working out a story which could stand alone without it, before putting it back in.

A fish person towers over a hunched diver on a sea floor, with skulls and a treasure chest between them.

A roaring fish person with a bloody mouth hold an unconscious woman while knee-deep in sea water, with a moon-lit castle and lightning storm in the background.

A fish person holds a human baby in one arm and feeds it baby formula with the other hand.

A fish-person swims downward through a blue ocean, with sea weed and an underwater futuristic city in the background.

A happy book says: I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you! A smiling drink says: And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read! A gleeful phone adds: Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!! Hours later... The drink and book lie untouched. The phone is out of view but a bubble reads: Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll The book says “I hate that guy.”

SFF friends: this is a good 75% of my energy/climate work right now. Dealing with the power demands of incipient data centers on the electric grid, and how those demands are resulting in more expensive and dirtier electricity for everyone.

'Policing by consent' is and always was a lie, a fiction. The people who "consent" to be policed are never the people who are on the receiving end of policing.

A book cover for the book Omega Substance by Drew Rhys. The picture shows white words on a purple background styled as a skyscraper, with a design which hints at an inverted cross and the greek 'omega' character whihc glows red. The blurb reads as follows: Decipher an impossible mystery dripping with wry corporate satire in this unputdownable story of pride, ambition, and the boundaries of science pushed far too far... Silicon Valley, Thursday, mid-morning: The ordinarily busy headquarters of Big Pharma giant Celestium is found completely empty, its entire workforce apparently vanished into thin air, leaving behind an eerie 'ghostscraper' and a baffling puzzle for the Silicon Valley Police. Days later, a mysterious disc is delivered anonymously to the SVPD which appears to contain evidence related to the case. Company classified material revealing Machiavellian schemes, unholy experiments, and shocking incidents which took place within the walls of that ill-fated building during the final few months of Celestium's existence. Who sent the disc and what are their motives? What exactly was going on in Celestium's secret underground labs? And what could have caused more than 500 employees to simply disappear without trace? Omega Substance is a bitterly satirical mystery thriller that explores whether even eldritch, unknowable evil can be a match for the ruthlessness of modern corporate culture. This standalone book requires no further reading to enjoy.

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Seriously. Fuck the Australian Productivity Commission. In 2016 they tried to limit copyright to 25 years from the date of creation. Now they want generative AI to have free reign to scrape artists' work without permission. Fuck those guys.

"Art" expected to be complete by September!

a fluffy black orb like a soot sprite is sitting on a white floor. there’s a small crescent shape of white right in the middle, with a black round spot centered within it. at first glance, it has the appearance of a single eyeball floating in the middle of the void. at second glance, it still looks like that. but maybe on third examination, it’s clearer that the white is from a dog’s little snout, and the black in the middle is the dog’s nose, and any other distinguishing feature like eyes, ears, and paws are absorbed into the black void.

an exceedingly fluffy black dog stands expectantly on the floor and looks up at a little kid in a high chair who presumably has snacks to share. the little bit of white on the dog’s nose and their pink tongue is the only interruption in the otherwise endless sea of darkness. but at least from this angle, they have a more defined body and tiny feet, so she’s a little less “orb” and a little more “dog.”

We only rate dogs. This is the goth cousin of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Please understand it's not just a phase, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (credit u/vincidelaunc)
