Self-taught author and draw-er, enjoyer of all things sentient+nonbiological, particularly zeroids and TFs. (Also NHS pharmacist, but don't expect anything work-related here.) Sticky: https://keaalu.dreamwidth.org/463975.html
Wasn't happy with the flow of the last chapter (in particular, 101 with the Martians; the boy was being WAY too wordy) so I spent a but of time reworking it and I'm happier with it now!

Now I can get on with the fun part of writing new stuff (and a little bit of zeroid body horror? 😬)

I see "the slop generator is democratising art!" is doing the rounds again.

Translation: I want THAT PERSON'S art, but fuck you if you think I'm paying for it.

Saw someone mention Pontypool, which reminded me I really must get around to watching that.

Always been a tiny bit disappointed to find out that it's not a weird fanmade horror take on Fireman Sam, though. 🤔

Looking at my stats for January and I seem to have hardly written anything the whole month. ☹️

I need to get back to stupid cubes trying to encourage their new bestie to play games, but new bestie is feeling sorry for himself and wants to go home to his humans and say sorry for being a screwup.

Not a fan of Channel 4 deepfaking some other face on the top of the suspect's real face "to protect their identity" on 24h in police custody when they could have just blurred them out, like they have previously.

I understand what blurring them out means; THIS just feels like I've been lied to.

Today we're remembering the much-missed Denise Bryer, on what would have been her 98th birthday. Best known to Anderson fans for voicing Zelda in Terrahawks. Here she is in 2014 during the recording of Big Finish's Terrahawks audio revival - smiling, as she always seemed to be!

Lasercut Birthday Card!

Little robots want to make art for their bestie's birthday, but then get all awkward about the whole "robots shouldn't make art" part.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Unexpected followup! (Thank you Flash Fiction Friday on tumblr)

101 realises something about the helpful little cat he met in Egypt...

The Way to a Zeroid's Little Round Heart... is with a hat, apparently? (Not that Hiro needed any help.)

According to canon, 101 was first brought online some time in November 2018. That makes him very very old- I MEAN seven!

Happy Birthday to my favourite little round fusspot.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...
Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

I used to think it was depressing having no-one read my writing, but at least the occasional comments were from real people.

It's a million times worse to see the occasional trickle of hits and know they're all just bots, feeding your work into the slop machine.

"Big Mouth, Big Heart"

Certain zeroids have a big mouth, asking questions Hiro isn't quite sure he wants to face, yet? But they are usually forgiven for it, too.

(Hiro was given such a fascinating backstory! But then it seems to have never been used in ANY official media...)

I wanted to put something very like this up at work, but was not allowed. 😔

Just a silly Halloween-y short featuring an out-of-place worried little round boy trying his best to scare the Martians away from Egypt, and save his humans, too - helped out by a mysterious little temple cat.

Will always be amazed by how some people STILL seek out fan pages for 40-year-old TV shows, just to say how much they DIDN'T enjoy it. What’s even the point? Pissing on it in front of the people who love it isn’t going to un-exist the thing. Just go enjoy the stuff you DO like. (You'll live longer!)

Noodling around with a Halloween-esque story involving my best boys, plus Ancient Egyptian cat goddesses.

It does mean I get to play innuendo bingo!
