'Sora cost $20 a month & subscribers can generate an unlimited number of AI videos... this costs (Sora owners) OpenAI "at least $5 per 10-second video"'. Journalists, please ask more questions about how this tech could ever in a million years make a profit?

MILLENNIAL BLUESKY POSTER: you know, when I was a kid, I thought QUICKSAND would be a lot bigger of a probelm!!!! 🤣🤣 JOHNNY QUEST: *quote-tweeting* wow. okay. not even sure how im supposed to respond to this. I'm glad YOU didn't have that experience, I guess???

A true crime podcast about the disappearance…of a podcast. @addisonpeacock.bsky.social and I dig into the mystery of what happened to the Wicked Library. Grab a magnifying glass, a ouija board, and your earbuds- let’s get strange. open.spotify.com/episode/4NRw...!

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Looking for some spooky recommendations for the season? Gavin’s got a video chock full of excellent recommendations for tv, podcasts, movies, and games! m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ik4...

🩸The NIGHTHAWKS Demo is here! 🩸 It was such a joy to voice Saoirse Kane in this game, and you’ll be able to meet her in the demo! 💪 ☘️ 🧛‍♀️ Thanks to Dave and Richard for having me! I’ve been excited to play the game since I auditioned. Play the demo during Steam Next Fest!

Publishers should be invested in promoting the books they publish.

Me and my mates are making a mucky lil competitive craft game show, and the pilot’s coming out on Humdinger’s YouTube tomorrow and then we’re gonna make some more later this month, but here’s a trailer for now.

omg i love this 😂 exactly the TV i need right now—Australian accents, Australian humour, bunch of friends being gloriously silly

I firmly believe that there should be a Year Without Shakespeare in which every Shakespeare play in every theater's calendar is replaced by new work from a local playwright. I think that would be good for both theater and society.

I help run a discord for audio drama creators! If you make audio drama/fiction podcasts/radio theater/whatever the cool kids are calling it, you're welcome to join! (It doesn't have to be scripted audio fiction either, TTRPG pods I'd love to see ya too) discord.gg/Y4z3FdKG4Z

Two xenoarchaeologists walk into a bar! @chrismagilton.bsky.social and @edwyntiong.com (Ben and Remy) met up for the first time over the weekend at the @aussievo.net dinner in Melbourne over the weekend. Thanks to @aimeesmithva.com and all the AVO crew for a terrific evening.

I got the email notification about this from Spreadshirt last week and promptly deleted my account. If you have one, you should too.

Is life often terrible? Yes. Are there still always people out there going “Let’s make a cool ass thing for other people to see?” Also yes.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

@tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social THIS IS WHY WE DO NOT WANT IT IN AUSTRALIA

This upcoming all-trans adaptation of Frankenstein by the folks who brought you Re: Dracula and Re: Carmilla features Asha Lloyd (our Indira Raju) as Elizabeth. Can't wait to hear it. Asha is going to kill it! Oh and hey, they're crowdfunding right now: www.indiegogo.com/projects/re-...

I'll repeat this until the LLMs bubble finally bursts: We were told NFTs were "the future" "here to stay" and "inevitable" Where's that market now.

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

If there exists a category of people who don't have due process rights, then either there's a process for determining who fits in that category or there isn't. In the first case due process is still being observed for everyone, and in the second it can be denied to anyone. There are no other options

Now I’m falling asleep and she’s calling a cob

Wouldn't it be cool if someone adapted Frankenstein with an entire cast of trans actors? Oh hey, we're doing that! But we need your help to fund it! igg.me/at/refrank

“And though generative A.I. was trained on the work of human creators, so were you: Every show you’ve watched, every script you’ve read, surely left its mark. You have no cause to apologize.” If I have to explain the flaw in this logic, you are too fucked to fix. 🖕 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/m...

Really enjoyed this one!

A potato plant is more sentient than AI. LLM AI is a plagiarism machine that spews out semi-random nonsense.

This was a proper pageturner and I can't wait to read what Devin writes next

Looks like a fascist lice comb.

I’m not talking about the “AI “actress”” thing because it is so clearly an astroturfed non-story which only benefits from people taking it seriously, even as outrage / distaste. It does not exist. It *will* not exist, at least as executed by these people. I refuse to fall for it.

This might be a long shot, but does anyone know of some video games that can be played ENTIRELY through voice commands (without any pesky modding required)? A game-loving family member became disabled last year and I know they've been missing video games. (Reposts appreciated for greater reach)

Roshan is one of my favorite people in audio drama (and also one of the most brilliant) - he's supported TAFCON from the very beginning and I'm thrilled that he's speaking!

The fact that highly educated experts tend to reject conservative ideas is an indictment of conservatism not an indictment of academia. MAGA is an anti-rational, anti-intellectual movement, of course intellectuals are going to tear it to shreds.

Tilly Norwood is purely ragebait PR — much like a lot of AI hype stuff. We just recorded a segment about this for tomorrows episode of The FAIK Files actually. It’s just a handful of generated videos, using commercially & publicly available tools and doing absolutely nothing unique.

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10. Windows 7 use is surging 5x now. AI is product poison.

If you needed further confirmation that you should listen to @224bbaker.bsky.social, consider yourselves confirmed.

Some very cool people over at r/fantasy are starting a Magnus Archives readalong/listenalong in about a week's time for @rustyquill.com fans that want to join in.

TRAILER'S UP! CROWDFUNDING IS UP! LET'S GO! For those of you who missed the announcement, I have the honor of playing Victor Frankenstein in Re: Frankenstein!

Had to pull out of a campus conference on censorship because I was ordered to censor my comments. Here's my open letter explaining my stance.

Anyone else remember the Pivot To Video era where it turned out that Facebook was counting 3 seconds of scrolling past a video as a "view"?

They've had years and infinite money, and yet there has been no AI book that everyone is reading, no AI music artist that has the song of the summer, no AI movie anyone wants to watch. Seems like they should have even one of those before they get to say that's the future

now where i am from when someone in your office has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in editing spreadsheets we call them "fired"
