From Silent Hill 3, protagonist Heather stands in front of a large poster on a wall advertising a cat food brand called Minmo. Text near the top of the poster reads "Growing Strong and Healthy .....MINMO!" Below that is a phot of a fluffy white cat.

AI could never make Minmo

Very few narratives piss me off as much as the whole "let's give marginalised people LLM assistants for inclusion". 

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. 

This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion.

A screenshot of twitter from Anthropicโ€™s official account stating the following:

We've identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot Al, and MiniMax.
These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

1/7 Recent unsealed documents from Bartz v Anthropic showed an internal essay โ€œAn Economic Model for Compensating Data Producersโ€ by Anthropicโ€™s CEO, 2021.

Anthropic knew of the importance and cost of our works. They then willfully decided to steal it. They do what they condemn

Fun fact that if you are in the US, melatonin dosages sold are not regulated or verified, so they can literally be any varying intensity labeled in a bottle. ๐Ÿซ

I've admired this piece for so long and adored the comic. You made such an incredible cover here. Really gorgeous stuff.

Slice of life Jarlaxle is so much fun. Gotta make sure he stays cozy up there in Luskan. Glad you found something to love in it.

Thank you! I wanted his design to be on the simpler side. Everyone these days is walking around in legendary piles of stuff and I always enjoy when less is more.

He's a psi warrior/ dhampir hybrid, so his backstory is that he's an experimental spy after aboleths got their hands on a sea elf. Basically a walking science project.
