its just so billionaires to be like we ruined everything, no jobs anymore, no funding anymore, economy ruined, pedophile war profiteers rule the world now, but don't worry, if you subscribe to our AI you'll be able to fight over the scant resources we've left you even more effectively...

(CEO Art Generator might bamboozle some CEOs, which I don't un-endorse!! but! if you're working with artists it's good to be aware of the more practical issues that might be come up)

Not everyone has the budget or skill set to do fancy-seeming art for pitches, I totally get that, but, I think it's relatively complicated to pitch art you don't own, CAN'T own, and can't credit

That seems like a lot of weird problems to deal with for some kind of pedestrian art treatment

Stuff outside of moral + environmental considerations to keep in mind when using AI for things like pitching a prototype...

- Generated art can't be copyrighted
- The materials used to train it can't be credited
- By definition the output is going to be tame / over-familiar

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

for me it would have been better to call it hardspace: rapid uncontrolled disassembly

or maybe hardspace: wreck the whole shit big mode

868-BACK

This is definitely cheating. It's not really in NF, I already love 868-HACK, and it's highly anticipated for many reasons.
But yeah it's just good, it's the same game with more stuff and the demo does a great job teasing what's coming.
