my most unpopular (yet pretty basic) opinion: things that people blame capitalism for in the current era are facets of humankind that in fact vastly pre-date the rise of capitalism in society, an will require a far greater re-engineering effort, whose shape is possibly hidden from sight by strictly anti-capitalist stances

I've commissioned the great @davidrevoy to help with some of the artwork for the new Spritely website. I made some tiny sketches of what I thought sprites might look like: https://dustycloud.org/gfx/goodies/spritely-sprite-designs.png
David did a conceptual re-imagining and oh my god they're AMAZING https://www.davidrevoy.com/XYZ/Spritely/2020-09-09_Quick-paint-over-first-sketches.jpg

I'm hand-curating the GPT-3 generated #Botober prompts because many of the neural net's drawing prompts are terrible for one reason or another.
Here are some of the prompts that were unfairly difficult.
Introducing #Botober, a set of AI-generated drawing prompts for each day in October!
I generated these using GPT-3, a neural net trained on a huge amount of internet text, but not on drawing prompts specifically. (This explains a lot)
@bluestarultor i found it interesting how easy it turns out to be to make something that absorbs tons of light, you just have to make the texture (on a micro and macro scale) really matte. most matte black paint is pretty good! there's a good video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr1AiExSAnU

I was only half-listening to a reading of #TheMappist, but I dialed in during the meeting with Corlis. It really connected with a lot in my personal history w.r.t. to #maps, #archiving, and #planning for the future
