what's fucked up is that the article you attached to the Eightfold lawsuit looks like it was written with ChatGPT by its pacing and punctuation. I'm not messaging abt it to moralize or ask you to remove it, but i just want to voice how fucked up it is that even an engineer who's trying to elaborate on the destructive consequences of one AI application is using another with already-heavily-publicized, runaway ethical problems to do it. We Are Surrounded

i'm glad you're not asking me to remove it, but sending an ask that says "the punctuation and pacing of this AI specialist who looks at AI all days looks kind of AI-ish" is still insane. if you want to make the accusation, make it on the website itself, and have a better set of evidence than just vibes. and you can tear the em-dashes from my cold dead AI-hating hands.

Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness (1988) art part 2. there's a number of different styles of illustration in the book, and the following two images are a really cool and bold one, but unfortunately the poor quality of the scan really hurts their legibility.

oh, and shout out to this poor, poor imperial guard:

i'd be making that face in your shoes too buddy.
