Just so that my stance is painfully clear: Fuck generative AI entirely. It does nothing but steal and then regurgitate bullshit and is actively destroying creative thinking.

No form of AI should ever have been made available to the public, let alone shareholders.

Going to shout about this a bit. This year, I contributed a story to this anthology set in Onyx Path's Curseborne setting, and now it's out on sale πŸ™‚

Correct.
Is...that not common knowledge?
I mean, it also covers the problem of embarrassment stopping you using the right words for something.

Pushed him to do it? Probably not. Failed to stop, aided and abetted, with zero safeguarding aspects? That looks stronger. The screenshots of the case are *awful*. bsky.app/profile/saba...

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

This is just amateurish. The box contents would be short-term ok in a different situation, but has nobody even considered the practicalities of using them? I'm going to be *really* charitable and assume cockup over conspiracy, but they don't know what they are doing & need to listen to those who DO.

Maybe if someone doesn't know how to use a term correctly in public, it should get locked in the teacher's cupboard until home time, and they can play with it then? Preferably with access to a dictionary.

Yes, I'm spiky this morning, sorry...

The only exception to this is if you want to support creatives who get commissions through affiliate links. Guess how we get those? via codes that tell the website/kickstarter/etc, "Hey see this link? X person shared this, so you should pay them out for their link." It's typically "?ref=" IIRC (1/3)

I gave them a read through last night, and yes, looks well-suited thus far :-)
I know that makes no odds to you, from a nobody, but take the compliment for whatever it's worth?

Yikes, had I known before backing, that would have probably changed my decision. If this is standard for Cubicle 7, though, I'm beyond disappointed, and glad I haven't pitched anything to them.

Fortunately there's no specific page reference for that, or you know someone would :-D

Also, thanks awfully for resetting that particular earworm after months clear :-)

Rogue Trooper: Aneurin Barnard leads exclusive first look at Duncan Jones' new animated sci-fi movie Aneurin Barnard is a super soldier in Empire's exclusive first look images from Duncan Jones' upcoming sci-fi comic book movie Rogue Troopers.

Oh dear Grud yes, dammit. Need it. www.empireonline.com/movies/news/... Rogue, Johnny Alpha and Dredd were my borderline-inappropriate favourite characters as a kid (and up). If 3d animated, wonder if Simon Pegg would be up to reprise his Alpha from the Big Finish audios?...

All the scenes felt alive, with the little bits of movement of the NPCs and wind moving the plants and such.
