“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Elon Musk couldn’t figure out how to make a pop tart without hurting himself

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

They didn't even bother taking the windows out. All of that stuff, all of it, is protected under law as museum objects under NPS authority but a notorious grifter like Trump couldn't even figure out a way to sell authentic windows from the White House?

- no, you are not a bad person if you choose that someone is not yet worthy of your forgiveness
- if you sanitize your online persona to a point where you can do no wrong, I don't trust you
- your culture does not excuse abuse, sorry

Not sure I've ever posted about it on Bluesky, but I have some concepts kicking around for a future (?) game (?) I'd love to make that is an RPG with dating sim and rhythm game elements where you play as an isekai'd skater girl who becomes a bard to save a fantasy world from a litch: "Heartsong"

A height chart showing character designs for a Litch queer, a tall handsome woman named "Veles", a main character skater girl in fantasy medieval attire, a cute short pink-haired, dark-skinned magical girl named "Helia", and Riot the anarchist Tiefling

Concept art for Riot the anarchist Tiefling

Art of the main character, an isekai'd skater girl "skating" on a hovering shield while playing a large medieval lute, saying, "Oh sorry, did I distract you? ...Anyway here's Wonderwall!"

Listening this afternoon to one of my all-time favorite records: Brave Faces Everyone by Spanish Love Songs. Specifically right now I'm listening to the Etc. remixes, which is also an incredible album. Every single damn song hits so hard.

The cover for the album Brave Faces Everyone by Spanish Love songs. The cover features a dapper looking man sitting alone with a cane looking wistful.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

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.

The recipe in the video proceeds to have at least 12 more ingredients required.

Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop.

You can move your entire music library over in a matter of minutes.

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.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
