Big yikes

Freelancers, discourage AI by charging a SHIT TON more when brought in to fix it. Remind them constantly that it's much easier and cheaper to get you in from the beginning. Rebrand to a "AI Post production specialist" and watch Idiots pay you more because they think thats a new thing.

Played “Evergreen” 1v1, easy to learn, fast turns, fun scoring system, really nice physical design. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36...

That game I released last year only costs 6 bucks on Steam right now! - Cheaper than going to the movies but same length. - Difficulty depending on your country. - Cosmic and atmospheric horror. - Eerie and moody. People have enjoyed it thus far, why wouldn't you?

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

I’m like 2 minutes into Jurassic World Rebirth and already screaming at the TV. Might throw it out the window.

Here are my three truths about climate: 1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over. 2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets. 3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.
