Same. Jim Rhodes? Sure. General Ross? No problem. Fandral the Dashing? Done, and it was who they wanted in the first place. Bruce Banner? Yup, and it was an upgrade. Why not Kang?

Just going to point out, if doing the whole "rabbit rabbit" thing at the beginning of a new month for good luck actually worked, we wouldn't have (gestures at everything).

Today's gAI slop cover. I've noticed that a lot of newer slop is putting this weird texture, almost a chainlink type of pattern, on everything, particularly skin. Not sure what's causing it, but anything that makes gAI look even worse and more obvious, I'm for it.

"I said GOOD DAY, SIR!"

Killmonger from Black Panther.

Tonight's new book, recommended by my wife.

Today at work, I wrote an email in which I used the phrase, "we recommend against..." Our AI-infested software suggested I "streamline" the sentence by removing the word "against." Shit like this is why I say, now and forever, #fuckAI

I bet if civilians started using the pervert glasses for good -- say, to film police during a traffic stop or ICE during an operation -- a lot of the tech's enthusiasts and pushers would very suddenly change their tune. Much like when black people talk about exercising their Second Amendment rights.

This is step one. Unfortunately, step two will never happen, that step being all the gAI users openly admitting to using it. They love to insist that gAI is "just a tool," but are conspicuously quiet about admitting they used it to puke out a book or cover art. Can't have it both ways, people.

Forget the episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation or Deep Space Nine in which Worf was all "I am a Klingon, warrior honor grr." Michael Dorn shined the brightest whenever he got to be funny and I will die on that hill.

From today's ebook newsletter. Not only does the book sport a gAI slop cover, the author "photo" is gAI -- and man, could you possibly barf out a more cliche image than this? I had to look him up online, and needless to say, the real man does not look quite like this.

No, kids, really, this is in fact Laurence Fishburne, as Cowboy Curtis in Pee-Wee's Playhouse. I promise you, this is not fake. This is 100% real. No, REALLY. IT HAPPENED.

No no, don't withhold the name of this "writer." Say it out loud so we all know to never buy their stuff.

Idea: * Sell anthology of AI-generated novels and short stories * Wait for "authors" to unironically complain about their work being stolen * Laugh mockingly * Donate proceeds to charity

Right now, I would love to get every cent I've ever paid into SS back, preferably with interest, so I can stash it in a high-interest private account, because I seriously do not have any faith that money will be there when I reach retirement age.

I might go with what's really at the bottom of the "treasure pit" on Oak Island. People have been obsessed with this thing since the 18th Century. Six people have died on the project. An estimated $50M has been spent trying to find whatever, if anything, is at the bottom.

Back this project! Do it!

I would like to order a bucket of baby owls, please.

This is the team-up we're all waiting for.
