So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.

If true, then fucking yikes.

I stand by this by the way. Wilford Brimley was ultimate daddy.

Everyone bemoaning the cruel passage of time but no one stating the obvious: Wilford Brimley was hotter.

Scams up and down, left and right.

It's hardly news to point out reactionary hypocrisy, but it hit me that the political class excusing billionaire tax cuts because those billionaires 'create jobs' support technologies meant to replace humans and eliminate jobs.

Morning from daddy.

Black and white selfie. I'm a bear man with mustache and beard laying despondently in bed.

A moody good night for monochrome Monday.

Very sensitive and despondent about my weight tonight.

This is revolting. A shameful moment for everyone involved.

We’re just innocent men

Happy two year anniversary to #BG3

It’s brought some amazing friendships into my life! Thanks to the cast for bringing these characters to life via voice & motion capture.

Thank you to the writers & narrative designers for giving them amazing words & iconic quests.

Hello, Linux Developer. My name is Jigsaw. In this "Saw Trap" (as I've taken to calling them), there is a wheel in front of you. Your challenge is to leave the room without reinventing it. It works fine. It is a perfectly good wheel. The door is unlocked.

I got mad about AI so I made this comic about The Fucking Point of it all (1/7)

Well, version control means software can be built from any given state for as long as its files are stored. So I think the answer is yes, kinda sorta. But my knowledge is limited.

Daddy says night.

Anyway thanks to all the talented NSFW artists that I follow and that follow me, glad you're there.

Image from an adult Steam game featuring the epitome of what modern AI art looks like. A weirdly-proportioned cherub-cheeked young woman with long blonde hair, impossibly sharp collarbone, and a checkered shirt riddled with non-matching seams stands in front of a house. Lens flares dot the upper left. Good luck finding the light source, since the shadows on this uncanny-valley untextured figure make no sense at all.

Surely if you develop smutty games, it isn't that hard to find an enthusiastic human artist. Just my follower list alone has, like, 500 of them.

She says the line in the epilogue. It was written specifically as an Easter egg referring to the meme.

Accidentally sending Barcus flying off that windmill is an all-timer and I wish I'd been the one to think of it.

You watch that guy that says 'gross' when he pours the dirty water down the drain?

I think this will be the next art.

This is a sloppy series of ideas but I suppose it can be summed up in the single word: dopamine.

This is not a well-considered theory, only an observation that the satisfaction I get from a work sim is much the same as when I watch someone restore furniture or plant a garden. I have neither the talent nor the resources and space to do these things.

I'd add that 'weirdly satisfying' YouTube videos should enjoy a corollary role to this correct assertion. To watch a car guy detail a vehicle and pour the grime down the drain, or a pet groomer beautify a ratty poodle, is more fulfilling because I the viewer contribute to their reward.

It's more "hotel room" than I anticipated. Thinking of going one shade darker on the wall colour.

Photo of my bedroom. The bed is covered in an orange duvet. The wall is a medium teal shade with an art print hanging above the headboard.

Well. It's a work in progress.

If you have any prints available for purchase, feel free to link me! Now that I'm finally able to work on my bedrooms, I'm hungry for ideas.

Daddy knows how to show his gratitude 😉
