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.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I’ve been rethinking how to tackle my TBR so I don’t burn out:
Epic trilogy ⚔️ → semi-spicy romance 🥵 → book that emotionally destroys me 🥲 → cozy palate cleanser to recover 🍄 → highbrow lit 🧐 → Then repeat 🔁
What order do you read in to avoid a slump?
