jesus christ, is this the style standard at the BBC now? That's fucking vile, and the entire organization should be ashamed down to its bones.

Still working night and day on The Mermaid Mask. I've never worked so hard or for so long on anything! Apologies again, about being so quiet for so long. It's been a real 'head down working' kind of year.

No, no, you silly bot! I'm just saying it's sad, I hope they didn't feel pressured into it!

I don't know if it's true but it could be just made up by one guy then repeated by another guy, and then all of a sudden every old timer is saying it. The first time I heard it was in a Honky Tonk Man shoot.

On holiday in Amsterdam with the fam and our hotel has a channel that shows nothing but recent 'made for TV' Christmas movies, like Sister Swap and One Claus at a time, and it's in English, so we tune in and all the lead actresses have got that buccal fat removal. This shouldn't be catching on agh!

it is interesting, all family trees have that one ancestor they're really ashamed of, and now we're seeing the making of those ancestors in realtime. three, four, five generations down the road these will be the people everyone wishes they didn't have blood-ties to and skims over their lives.

Not so easy when you can't just do retakes and edits on YouTube, huh

Trump, a pedophile rapist with no real ideology except a desire to humiliate his enemies and flip properties, could've been Lincoln levels of great with a coterie of people in his ear telling him to defund weirdo Israel, stick it to loser medical insurance CEOs, cut the crybaby military etc

Will never ever understand the glorification of alcohol while simultaneously demonizing THC.

Maury was more evil than Jerry Springer because Jerry embraced its vileness and aired at night but Maury was on in the day & I remember being home from school and they were doing paternity tests and a lady said a baby looked like Roger the alien from American Dad and they did a split screen of them

Have to get this when my dad dies! So he can remind me about quitting a grocery job that I was working at night time after school 20 years ago for the millionth time.

Comment from me over on Reddit which reads:

"Or indeed gatekeeping the field of creatives and saying only trained professionals can be used to create images, here is a tool that allows others to create media to do a job."

Nah, get out of here with that "artists are being gatekeepers" shite. I see that nonsense being brought up time and time again.

Let me put it this way: I would love to create music, but I know I would be terrible at it, as I don't have the proper practice or skillset, at least starting out. Do I suddenly think I should just have genAI do it for me? No. 

A big part of the joy of the creative process is the process itself. If you take that away to just type in a prompt, and have something farted out for you, then where is the pleasure in that? 


Art is far, far more than the final result.


"Are those trained creatives going to commit to using zero AI and zero AI tools or any product using AI...."


Speaking as one myself: I mean, yeah...? It's incredibly easy to do art and not have to use genAI. In fact, it would only get in my way, and slow down my process.

I made the mistake of delving into a thread about genAI over on r/Ireland.

Couldn't help but lay into someone doing the "artists are gatekeepers" shite.

some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!

this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:
