One of the most magnificent pieces of art that was a passion project by Two great men. Really wish Disney had given this the proper advertising
It had the makings of greatness

still a pretty good thread imo
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

”That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way.”
Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Solid review of the new and revised Eberron species from @insightcheck.bsky.social
And I agree with what he says about the Shifter. IMO, Grim Hollow's Wulven are similar, but I think they tickle the furry itch better.

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Stopped by the local bookstore. A young teen boy wanted a WINGS OF FIRE. His mom refused, saying…
“Graphic novels don’t have proper sentences in them.”
I have never more wanted to become a teen’s illicit pusher. “Here, kid, take this PLAIN JANE AND THE MERMAID to the counter, it’s on me.”

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

No. This isn't the way at all.
Kids are just going to use AI to do the research and report writing too.
This is just compounding the issue.
Better to not give kids homework, and have them do all the research and writing at school.

How big @kaiinreallife.bsky.social eyes got when Monty asked him if he can imagine stacking all the cloud spells from #HeroesOfFaerun is hilarious.

I think I’ve made peace at this point with something that used to bother me - photoshoots using backdrop books where the backdrops aren’t especially visible. But you can’t get from A to B without a backdrop. Anyway - @fenrisgames.com Grendel model in full effect. #jhbackdrops
