Fables of Flower by @norab84.bsky.social is a fantastic collection of short stories, chronicling the life of Flower, a down-on-his-luck gig worker who gets caught up in missteps and adventures, both magical and mundane. He's a relatable character in a fantasy world. I highly recommend it!

"There is an extreme amount of AI artwork used within the base version of the game, despite the fact that last year’s Black Ops 6 made over $1 billion in its first 10 days on sale—the highest-grossing CoD game ever."
Too bad I don't play CoD, I can't boycott it 🤣

you know, the AI thing would be a lot more palatable if the people driving it used it to drive renewable energy development and address social issues instead of transparently fantasizing about the new feudalism in which they will be kings and the rest of us serfs.

Honestly have no idea what some people get out of using AI for writing. Just had all the parts of a story idea click into place and it’s such a satisfying feeling. Why the hell would anyone want to outsource creativity?

I had to check to be sure, but they really are talking about using generative AI for this, not some specialist tool.
(Also, nuclear is too slow and too expensive to be a good power source for the future.)

I forgot to take a gym pic today, but I did my 10 x 10 sets of back squats at 60kg fully for a second week, so next week I'll probably up the weight. I'm also getting better at the Romanian deadlifts at the same weight.

Happy Friday all! It's been a busy one, and I'm feeling kinda bushed at the moment. Went from work straight to gym straight to collect my daughter from school straight to get my hair cut. Finally sitting down now with a much needed coffee. Hope you're all having a good one.

This article is largely preaching to the converted, so Monbiot omits the basic problem that makes climate denial propaganda so powerful. For a long time, this was an invisible crisis that required the public to understand scientific theory. Deniers used emotional language first, and used it better.
Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.
