Listening to The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida now! Cant wait to see who the latest winner is.

Rich Larson, Ray Nayler, Elizabeth Bear, AT Greenblatt...

Time to just fully replace ypur brain with "AI" generations. You dont need that outdated biological thing anymore. Just use corporations to think (just give them all of your money that you wont make because they outsourced your job).

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Thebans enter the chat. "You wanna fight our badass gay warriors? Oh we're also going to ignore the traditional formation lines. Hope you dont suck lololol"

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

AI in a nutshell

Can we bring back Toonami's #VillaintinesDay? A day to praise the villains you love to hate.

At the Shrine #Fantasy #drabble #reading Shirō prayed and begged at the shrine, leaving his knees a raw red. Make it leave, he muttered. From the break of dawn through the noon’s heat, he‘d knelt at the Kami’s vessel. Burning incense wafted pale smoke through the air.

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

"Hart doesn’t disclose her use of A.I" Ah so she is just an immoral liar like most AI users trying to pass off generated work as their own.

Years of writing, of reading, of thinking about writing, of analyzing your writing, of analyzing what you read, of pushing through crippling doubt...then repeating all of it again and again even after some success. That is how skill is forged.

Its a Fun Game, Isn't it? #drabble #scifi #fiction Immersion goggles strapped on. Controllers tapped away. The kids were winning when Colonel Haller entered. On the wall mounted monitors, the androids they controlled charged through a trench line.

I get my news from a reliable source.

Watched Babygirl last night. I would give it a B. I thought the movie didnt add up to much in the end, especially since the drama was solved by communicating with the husband...which could have happened at the beginning. Killer soundtrack though. #film #review #movie

The Coffee Shop at Seven-Hundred-Million Miles per Hour #Drabble #scifi #fiction #coffee The human keeps whinging while the line of customers grows. I'm waiting for his order. “We achieved light-speed.” “So proud of you.” “Humanity's first.” “Wow.”

I see what generative AI can do and I think, *this* is what we’re destroying the environment, economy, and our brains for?

Here. I memed it for you so you can get the word out.

So can amateur running club organizers put PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS on their resume? All caps, of course.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

A Touch of Flame #fantasy #drabble #fiction After our village burned, we track it through the snow-drenched forest. Pale white and damp wood. The trail of scorched branches, smoking trees, and a charred Treecat corpse leads us deep.

Get On With It #drabble #fantasy #pirate #writing The noose rubbed against Captain Magnusson’s scar. Loose, he wanted to say, but kept his tongue still. Instead, he felt for the warm talisman in his chest, next to the old saber wound. They couldn’t take that away from him.

Lets just pop our brains out. The techlords apparently believe we dont need them.

I've put it on myself to read 10 Booker Prize winning novels this year. First one completed was Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart. #reading #books #book #booker

Fascist shit. Its only a matter of time before this escalates on either side.

Trickster Lessons #drabble #fantasy #writing #reading Coyote gives the apple to the orphan boy. Smiling, always smiling. The boy glances at the fruit merchant, haggling with two women. Unaware. "Really?" His stomach rumbles. "Of course." The boy takes a bite.

Ye Invoke it, Ye Buy It #drabble #fantasy #fiction #reading Abraham Constantine Greymane smoked his pipe as customers browsed the old crap that’d stacked up in the basement over the years. He needed money. Damn toilet was clogged to the seventh hell layer. Literally. 1/3

Still here? Good. The 2nd story I sold this year went to the same venue of Sci-Fi Shorts: "Omni-Body Technologies". #writing #scifi #reading ift.tt/2ByQMbP

Oh hey, glad I caught you doomscrolling. With two days left in the year, Im going to talk about the inspirations for my two published stories. The first story I sold in ten years came out in January: "At The Yatai On Kuiper Station Nine". #fiction #scifi #sci-fi #reading ift.tt/crMTBY8

In the last days of the year, acceptance count goes up one. Hurray!

Hahahahaha www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artific...

I just dont directly use LLMs because I have a functioning brain. Why should I let in corporations into that more than they already have?

Imagine you go to a restaurant with a person. You sit down, there's idle chit-chat that that has to be heard over the other guests here, you both are browsing the menu. The server comes by and takes your order. Your acquaintance orders with a few customizations;

Its just gross they treat short story magazines this way. If you have to pretend to have talent and skill, go somewhere else.

Have llms generate a thing, only to have to rewrite the thing, so to make it sound like you actually put in effort and wrote it...all the while not knowing what the story it just shat put is... Id rather just write it and not let my skill be taken by a 3rd party plagarism corporation.
