Weren't we just talking about this, @stupidartpunk.bsky.social?

I think we need to get rid of/regulate algorithms, I think it's an under-recognized piece of the puzzle.

i'm worried the left isn't taking NFTs seriously

As someone who was in Hexagon and On Spec before the end, can I just say how great it is to see a Canadian SFF magazine with cool covers reach its 10th issue in hard copy?

"to find out more, I interviewed the marketing manager of a debt ridden paper plate company"

I drew a face on a paper plate. Who could even begin to understand how it perceives the world or what it dreams of?

You want to read this. A unique & beautiful example of the gnarly empathy genre.

It definitely encourages a different approach, more akin to learning to play an instrument perhaps. There is a great community surrounding fighting games, but for the most part your practice/development is still a solo endeavor.

I appreciate this take more than the "fighting games are too hard" argument I often see. FPS is arguably the most popular genre, and you only need to see how many walls a first-time FPS player runs into while learning the controls to understand that that isn't the main barrier to fighting games.

A lot of people assumed 2XKO would "save fighting games," whatever that means. As if the current (relatively modest) level of interest in the genre hasn't reached its highest level since its peak in the arcade era.

I tried something like this in one of my fiction magazines, but no bites I'm afraid...

I was obsessed with Bioshock! I did a splicer cosplay for a social media event for the release of Bioshock 2, but since I knew I'd be facing away from the camera, I faked the mask by just making the plaster ears that'd be visible from behind. Ended up getting an official splicer mask in the mail!

The Future's So Bright. "Rips like a blast of fuzzy future glam rock out of the speakers of a souped-up speed machine. Bettendorf is at the modern forefront of re-Weirding the novel: first with his choose-your-path black metal TRVE CVLT, and now with this, a portrait of a near-time and near-place, one that reflects not only hopes and fears for the future but the very real concerns of our present as well. Jack in, bliss out, rock on." -Drew Broussard, the Lit Hub Podcast August 2026 Tenebrouspress.com. "Midwestern Chrome" glitches in overlapping purple and yellow font. A neon soaked street, bathed in blue and purple hues. In the foreground, a man with sunglasses perched on his head holds a decapitated head, a bag at his side. The head stares with electric blue eyes. A passerby in a dark trench coat gazes over his shoulder. Art by Arianna Bosa.

I'm feeling too spoiled by some kind words by early readers of Midwestern Chrome. Thank you @drewsof.bsky.social.

@ivygrimes.bsky.social left a lovely review over on Goodreads as well.

Y'all are in for a treat this August. Only @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

Cover art for issue eight of New Edge Sword & Sorcery, by Jimmy Makepeace aka @jimmymakepeace.bsky.social. Mostly violet and pale yellow in color, it shows two Mongol women from the era of Genghis Khan standing in a room being transformed into another world by strange energies from the fallen head of a statue. Each of them is armed, and wary.

Oh hey, it's the cover art for issue 8! Painted by @jimmymakepeace.bsky.social!

About the PhD: Audits and evaluation of AI systems — and the broader context that AI systems operate in — have become central to conceptualising, quantifying, measuring and understanding the operations, failures, limitations, underlying assumptions, and downstream societal implications of AI systems. Existing AI audit and evaluation efforts are fractured, done in a siloed and ad-hoc manner, and with little deliberation and reflection around conceptual rigour and methodological validity. This PhD is for a candidate that is passionate about exploring what a conceptually cogent, methodologically sound, and well-founded AI evaluation and safety research might look like. This requires grappling with questions such as: What does it mean to represent “ground truth” in proxies, synthetic data, or computational simulation? How do we reliably measure abstract and complex phenomena? What are the epistemological or methodological implications of quantification and measurement approaches we choose to employ? Particularly, what underlying presuppositions, values, or perspectives do they entail? How do we ensure the lived experiences of impacted communities play a critical role in the development and justification of measurement metrics and proxies? Through exploration of these questions, the candidate is expected to engage with core concepts in the philosophy of science, history of science, Black feminist epistemologies, and similar schools of thought to develop an in-depth understanding of existing practices with the aim of applying it to advance shared standards and best practice in AI evaluation. The candidate is expected to integrate empirical (for example, through analysis or evaluation of existing benchmarks) or practical (for example, by executing evaluation of AI systems) components into the overall work.

are you displeased with today’s AI safety evaluation landscape and curious about what greater conceptual clarity, methodological soundness, and rigour in AI evaluation could look like? if so, consider coming to Dublin to pursue a PhD with me

So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀
