A first cover for my debut novel, due late spring/early summer. #DarkFantasy

@80s_channel I think it depends who is making it

What do you think?

@alliharvard *Raises hand*

are there any real sorcerers left

@BradyHunsaker I prefer the top row. They are action packed. The bottom row has couples. OK for out and out romantasy I guess.

I need some help, yall. Haha

@JoshuaBarzon It flags all the stuff it trained on, its obvious

AI is telling me that Genesis Chapter 1… from the Bible (KJV even!) … is “100% AI generated text.” Let that sink in. How “intelligent” is “AI”?

@_oldvalyria He was basically Henry VIII. Dire.

Was Robert Baratheon a good king or a bad king?

In #GameofThrones I'm a #Tyrell and in #HarryPotter the sorting hat always places me in #Slytherin . I can live with these.

@GoingawayOf @_oldvalyria Sure but we suspend our disbelief for the show. There were never dragons either.

@Edvane67 @_oldvalyria In the real medieval world, the artisans of the Middle East figured out a way of strengthening steel swords by folding the metal and beating it. A few close ups of blades show what looks like one of these blades. You can’t just melt one down and pour it into two smaller molds.

What is the mysticism behind Valyrian steel?

@Bigdaddyvinz_ Dude is nearly 80

The final boss of procrastination.

@darkxfer I started listening to 40hz Gamma music. It gets me right off.

Does anyone over 50 get any sleep? Or is this my life now?

@YoDanno @ralphbakshi I was a big fan of 'Wizards' by Bakshi.

I remember the chills I got, the first time I saw this scene with the Ringwraith. Called me old fashioned, but I prefer the @ralphbakshi animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings over the live action movies any day. Anyone else enjoy these?

#vss365 He had returned to his kin in winter silk, smiling because the grave had only delayed him. He knelt before his lord, told a soft lie, and won him to #endorse the claim. When the seal was set, the candles burned green, and something beneath his skin smiled too. #Edvane #DarkFantasy

@GrimfelOfficial Chat gpt is like a parent from 1955.

Aint no one using ChatGPT for writing lyrics lmao

@hwinkler4real I'm still utterly stunned that Bob Odenkirk has re-invented himself as an action movie lead after Saul. Wonderful.

Coming in less than a month !!!

@HippieKillerBoB I finished that game by locking Thorin in the chest at the beginning.

@exquizitely The Hobbit on the Commodore 64, my father got much further than I ever did as he had read the book. I preferred the point and click adventures on the Amiga than typing East or West for sure!

What was the first adventure game you ever played? And also, which was the best? I was reading some old computer magazines today and came across an article about Maniac Mansion. Made me think about the first adventure game I ever played. And from there my mind wandered over to "best adventure game I ever played". My first one would have been King's Quest I (Sierra, 1984). I didn't finish it back then, I was probably a bit too young, and English isn't my first language so that didn't help. I still liked it a lot. The best adventure game I ever played is a tough call between Loom and Monkey Island 2. I will give a slight edge to Guybrush Threepwood, though the ending haunts me to this day. Where did your journey start? Maybe with pure text adventures? Or the early Sierra ones? Maybe later ones that already used pre-defined command prompts?

@ixdStudio @SketchesbyBoze You wait. Time passes...

@SketchesbyBoze I read it aged about 12 as it was bundled with the Commodore 64 Hobbit adventure game. Loved it and then read LotR. Theres probably a deeper point there how tech used to stimulate rather than hinder reading.

Someone once told me that The Hobbit is too difficult a book for a child of twelve to read. The Hobbit, famously a children’s book. Fewer and fewer people are able to read in part because we continue to lower expectations. Kids in the 1940s were reading Defoe & Dickens.

In summary, I have lost my income at 7 months pregnant because a university professor, Howard Williams, has been falsely calling me a Neo-Nazi for over a year. I cannot thank you all enough for the support so far. The full video is on my profile. gofund.me/d5f172bc2

@TukiFromKL So he didn't get away with it. Got it.

🚨 Do you understand what this man just pulled off.. > a guy from North Carolina used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs.. uploaded them to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.. then botted billions of streams on his own tracks and walked away with $8 million > 660,000 fake streams per day.. spread across thousands of AI songs so nobody noticed.. $1.2 million a year.. for music no human ever actually listened to real artists are out here grinding for 0.003 cents per stream.. promoting on TikTok.. begging for playlist placements.. and this guy just had AI make the music AND the audience first-ever criminal streaming fraud case.. he's paying back $8 million.. but the playbook is out there now.. and AI just got better since he started the music industry spent 10 years fighting piracy.. now they have to fight songs that don't exist being listened to by people who don't exist.

@lololeereverie Nah. Not really.

I hate GenAi. I hate that it exists. I hate that it makes everything seem fake in a world already rife with frauds and scammers. It disconnects us further from each other and the human gift of art, for no discernible reward I can fathom. It feeds all our worst qualities: laziness, historical and literary degeneracy, dishonesty and covetousness. It turns people into thieves that argue back in total absurdity: “I should have the right to steal and lie.” It is poison delivered by keystroke.
