This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

I don't care that AI Gen can look pretty, or that sometimes you can't tell it apart. I don't want glossy images pumped out from unethically scraped data, I want art MADE BY REAL PEOPLE because I'm in love with art as an organic, human-made process that connects us and adds meaning to our lives.
