Someone please let me remake Ghost Writer for today's audience, so we can use it to teach kids about the joy of reading, the importance of media literacy, the dangers of AI, critical thinking skills, and things you can do with your time besides social media.

I get that ppl want this to be true, because it would give us a nice clear distinction between Useful Science AI vs Evil Plagiarism AI, but it’s not. Some of the science tools are diffusion models, like the Art Plagiarism Bots. Some are transformers, like the Word Plagiarism Bots. It’s not clean.

I spoke to our son's entire 7th grade class just now+ talked about launching Elon Musk on a solo mission to Mars and *every last kid* belly laughed. You have to be the biggest loser on Earth to have 7th graders laughing at a mom making a joke about you. Infinite negative aura. The kids are alright.

Part of my hate for AI and crypto comes from the basic fact that... we now do have the technology to turn a capital investment today into a world where electricity is too cheap to meter. But unfortunately techbros invented two infinite power sinks so that's not happening.

Teaching kids AI literacy - what it is, how it actually works, what the tradeoffs are in using it - would be a good thing. But that's not what's being proposed, they're trying to get it into grade schools to create AI dependency

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

You know all those weird AI metrics that say Everyone Is Using It but almost nobody you know is, so you figure oh that's top-down forced stuff, they must be juicing them across the board? Yeaahhh, (Rider is pretty good btw, way better than VS)

YOUR FOES WOULD SEE YOU SLEEPLESS: RESIST AND REST.

No one wants this. People do not want hyperspecific individualized stories only they engage with. People want the shared experience of being told a story by a human and engaging with other people who also experienced that story. People want the social aspect of storytelling.

PAID TTRPG editor work. Looking for a copy editor who is familiar with the 5e style guide. Looking to hire someone from the global south, if possible. 60,000 words total. Share and tag editor friends.

The intersection of - and gulf between - this thinking and branching-paths stories (CYOA, games, etc) is honestly fascinating. I think it boils down to the Sid Meier classic "a game is a series of interesting choices." And a choice with infinite answers isn't interesting.

Begging, screaming, throwing up

As the oceans turn toxic with algae (not an exaggeration, see South Australia) and tech barons lose their minds with pseudo-religious babble about "AI", I increasingly feel like I'm actually living in Caves of Qud, and not in a cool way.

okay now figure in how many weren't thinking of leaving the industry but having that decision imposed upon them. Lets also be clear this isn't just a shame for those people, but it will manifest as worse games being more expensive to make, and making less money overall. This is a problem.

It's wild the way none of these people realize how embarrassing it is to be clutching pearls 24/7 about a single guy like 75% of people polled have never even heard of or care about. It's a bunch of people huffing their own farts, terrified of being asked to actually stand for something.

If you're a jr. sound designer & are interested in working on a narrative-driven RPG, I know of a studio looking for someone. Most of the game's sounds have already been made, and the team now needs someone to help them cross the finish line (there are ~75 sounds left to make). (1/2)

Genuinely the key to good networking is to give up the idea that it's all about you and your success. The more you go with the intention of raising the tide, the sooner you'll find your own boat lifts You should be looking for opportunity, not seeking advantage
