You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Hi there. I’m looking to speak to creatives/artists/art enjoyers who would categorize them self as anti generative AI. If you have time for a conversation, it would help me greatly.

Thank you

I’m incredibly grateful to say we hit 2000 subscribers over night. Truly an astonishing figure and double the (pretty lofty) goal I set myself at the start of the year

For days when I feel v sad/sore/sick but should probably still do work, I’ve developed a system I call BalPom.

It’s an adaptation of the Pomodoro method that rewards me one run of Balatro per X words written.

I may be the only person who’s ever had Balatro increase their productivity.

I’m historically *not excellent* at recognising emotions but I have noticed that when I persistently and involuntarily visualise the jerma “we are fucking under attack” meme that’s usually a sign that I’m on the road to a panic attack

Oh thank god. I’m not the only one who lost their mind watching this.
This business is so fucking cooked, man.

SGF’s Green Games Showcase featured this gem: a blockchain CCG *filled* with butt-ugly GenAI art (and AI-generated music in its trailer?)

The devs claim that one of their goals is to train “benevolent AI” prior to the singularity.

What a choice!
