What certain people do to old photos with Artificial Idiocy under the guise of "restoring" them should fall under crimes against humanity. I mean that's basically applying beauty filters and the result has very little to do with what the people on the photos originally might have looked like 🙈🤬

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

So today I found a really good solution for miniatures for an Arden Vul game.
wofungames.com have a bunch of flat. image printed pawns with art well suited to each of the major cultures of the setting.
They also have a limited range of fantasy pawns, some of which fit well with the setting.

So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

Yep, I was asked if I would license art to a project that was meanwhile using generated images as placeholders. Hell no! I don't trust anything about a project that uses genAI at any stage.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

This is the true victory of "the same guy".
I gripe about common media literacy and understanding the concept of story[telling] problems, but apparently I'm just an anachronistic relic because these are professional guild writers. Who can't figure out how to connect to old fuzzy continuity or grasp the concept of self-contained reboot arc.

We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but...
The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.
"Fear is the mind killer"
"Fear is a path to the Dark Side"
etc.
Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.
