We’re 1 backer (any tier!!) away from 75%!!

You could be the reason I get to share the next cute graphic I made to celebrate the milestone!

My machine that that doesn’t work, and won’t ever work, but if it could one day work might be of mild interest, has no clear use or audience, and no one will ever pay for it costs $10 billion per quarter to operate. Give me money or you’ll miss out!

Preorder this! It’s IMPORTANT. And if you haven’t read Grave Expectations and Displeasure Island, now would be a good time to buy those too. They’re excellent.

It is absolutely wild that it is not a commonly discussed part of the AI industry that the "leader" in generative AI repeatedly puts out broken dogshit like this?

Insane.

Just gave. Please consider helping if you can. Right now is an incredibly important time. Right now.

Like the 'two hours on screens' thing, EVERY TIME, it's control it from the top, not understand it from the bottom.

Educate parents.
Communicate with them.
Involve them with their kids.
Teach them to take an interest in their kids.

We can do this too

Steeple is terrific. If you only know John's work from Giant Days, you should read Steeple too. Also if you know John's work from other stuff that isn't Giant Days, you should read Steeple too. Read Steeple. Steeple.

As an immigrant to this country, it is *already the case* that you cannot access public funds (incl. disability benefits) at any point up to gaining indefinite leave to remain.

For me, that was more than ten years of student & spouse visas, healthcare surcharges, a Life in the UK test, etc

Better idea

This is very good, getting to the heart of a lot of what's wrong with this whole conversation.

Not photoshopped. But you would almost think so. Perfect black cat wearing Spock long sleeve jersey and looking up with his paws on my legs. He looks like he is studying important things on the Enterprise.

Once again, I must post this photo of Darwin, aka Science Officer Meow. He is here to make it better.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Reminder that now my PhD is done I’m available for work!

Writing, narrative design, historical and narrative consultancy, research etc.

I’ve got a PhD, 5 academic publications (another on the way), 3 shipped games (3 more on the way), lots of experience collaborating with cultural institutions

Some news: I have the rights to my multi-award nominated and critically acclaimed graphic novel The Absence back! If there's any publishers following me that fancy republishing it (I'm thinking as a nice little 'compact' size, maybe…?) drop me a line!

The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models via the Lens of Problem Complexity Recent generations of frontier language models have introduced Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) that generate detailed thinking processes…

There's a lot of big news today/this week, but Apple just dropped a nuke of a paper about LLMs & LRMs, specially around "high-complexity tasks where both models experience complete collapse." This is the biggest sign yet that if AI ever lives up the hype, it won't be via those approaches:

I'd be taking a lot more pleasure in the rift if Musk and Trump hadn't implemented policies that will result in the deaths of millions of people before their breakup. No one is going to be restoring USAID and PEPFAR assistance. This is their legacy - death, illness, and cruelty.

Re: that article saying middle-aged women are more likely to be transphobic because of life experience? Fuck that.
As a middle-aged woman currently experiencing an adenomyosis flare, the problem is THE PATRIARCHY. Trans people didn't create the wage gap or inadequate funding for women's health.

I've written RPGs, IP-tie-in materials, pop culture and entertainment journalism, B2B journalism, and if you see something here you want written that I haven't yet, I can learn.

I am good, fast, reliable, and 100% AI free.

Nick Clegg thinks that an artist who creates a thing has less right to make a living from it than a billionaire who steals it.

It’s astonishing how misunderstood this is: AI is currently theft. That’s it. It’s that simple. And until it pays, it remains theft.

Dudepoints Guide to the Final: WE DID A ZINE I am currently running on 4.5 hours of sleep per night and only a very little bit of that can be attributed to late nights at Euroclub but we have produced a zine for the Grand Final with updated c…

Hello! I did a zine for the final! And if you're like "Oh, I read your zine already" the answer is no you didn't because there is new content in here! You have FOUR HOURS to read it and print it out and tell me everything I got incorrect. #Eurovision

No real reason to post this other than I’m watching #Andor and it just popped into my head, but if you’re into spies, Cold War history and horror you’ll probably like my 214 page graphic novel Tiny Acts of Violence. You can get it in paperback or hardcover here: theshift.store/products/tin...
