Charlie's answers are good, and in the later case horrifying. I have filled it out to the best of my ability, but their are a host of ways issues that the consultation simply does not ask about, that should be discussed, such as the educational impact of Generative A.I. and L.L.M.s

this was the ubiquitous tool for finding out information online to the extent that it's name became the verb for doing that, and then they invested all their money into a technology that replaces that usefulness with sentences like "whether tripe is kosher depends on the religion of the cow"

It really is that simple. We all as creatives must stand together and united. It well and truly boggles my mind the sheer mental gymnastics that folks will. Pull trying to rationalize why its awful for someone to steal and replace their work but it's totally acceptable to use it for something else

RIP Christopher Norton Moore (1947-2025) We've all seen sci-fi book (and music album!) covers by British illustrator Chris Moore. We'll miss this prolific artist with his fascinating visions of the future. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

You have - checks watch - 55 minutes to sign up for Andy Law's masterclass on PC-led plotting, aka GMing TTRPGs Easy Mode. Or, if you get this late, there's always VoD after the fact.

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, because there are far fewer women researchers in STEM subjects than men, they have less career prospects and they get paid less than their male colleagues. Because of course they do (and I speak from experience here). /1

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.
