Mark Carney shows contempt for all Canadians by excluding the press from foreign trips. He needs to apologize and make amends for this, and be shown he’s a democratic head of government not the chief executive of Canada Inc.

Statement from the president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Egypt:

“It is unprecedented that Canadian media be entirely excluded from a Canadian prime minister’s foreign trip.”

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

They are noticing the pressure. Keep it up. We have no idea who Gareth Moore voted for, and we cannot take the chance that he or any Virginia Distillery CEO supported the regime that we are boycotting. #elbowsup

The thing about “city cops are wary of mayoral candidate” stories is those cops don’t live or vote there so you don’t have to care what they think.

Thank you! Hope you find time to do some dioramas of your own!

That was the starter pack, yup!

A couple. One recreating one of my album covers, and a quicky little one for my first Warhammer minis.

A diorama recreation of the cover for my album, "The Human Cost," featuring a Zaku shot down and crashed into a mountain-side. Original drawing by Christian Degn.

Almost done the Warhammer 40K Tau Pathfinder diorama. A Tau Pathfinder team making emerging from the water and into a grassy valley. Recon team up front, fire support behind, and then a rearguard at the beachhead.

All the Tau Pathfinder minis have been glued into place on the diorama.

Another view of how all the Tau Pathfinder minis have been glued into place on the diorama. Recon team up front and a fire support team behind them.

Recon team up front, fire support behind, followed by the rearguard.

Big news, friends: on December 3rd, I'll be launching a brand-new history show, "Past Lives." Every episode focuses on the life of a real person from history and tries to make sense of their experiences and their world. There will be weekly scripted episodes and tons of bonus content on Patreon.

I was looking at some architectural drawings yesterday and Adobe was trying to get me to use a fucking AI summary instead of reading it. Earlier in the year Copilot summarized some legal docs and came to opposite conclusion of what was in them. Do not trust LLM garbage!

Pam Wishbow @pamwishbow.bsky.social · 2d

An app just asked me if it wanted to AI summarize a contract I was looking at and I beg you to please read your contracts with your own eyeballs.

Thank you! Still need to do all the grass and then hit it with a dusting of white

Picture frame from Ikea is the base, then I cut some foam board, used green painter's tape to seal the edges and smooth create slopes, and the water is done with Vallejo acrylic still water with a blue wash by Army Painter mixed in. The base coat was a textured terrain paint, "Shadow Soil" from AK.
