Decided to see what would happen if I trained a neural net to write names for self-aware AIs.
May I present: GPT-2 trained on AI names from Iain M. Banks's Culture novels

Some telegram stickers commissioned by @leafnoodle! I'm open to do more of these if anyone wants some of their own - I'm thinking $15/sticker or $100 for ten? #dragon #furry #mastoart

by popular demand, here's the final draft of the Queer Villain Pride flag I did yesterday, along with a link to a hi-res version here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abew1ci7y5xzt9q/villainpridelarge%20copy.png?dl=0
again: pink for passion, orange for community, green for knowledge, purple for queer history, and black for evil, pure EVIL. feel free to use this for whatever. mwa ha ha ha haaa, etc
You ever wonder how awful it would be to be on the design team for a Metal Gear
"So they want it to be articulated to walk upright and switch between Rex and upright mode, and they want to test it in a region with regular dust storms?"
"It also has to scream."
"Who wants it to scream? Why does it have to scream?!"
"Skull Face says it has to scream."
"Skull Face says a *lot of things*."
Robots I liked from games in recent memory:
-Metal Great Sahelanthropus from MGSV
-The Jackal and its derivatives from Warframe
-Zorn from Remember Me
"Naux," you might say, "these are just all the robots you can think of that scream." And if you said that, then you have just learned something about me.
blfc reflections
this year was a really nice con!
the weather was a little fickle, which made the drive down kinda stressful. and despite all the convention’s efforts, the space continued to have trouble with saturation.
but I got to meet so many wonderful people, new and old, and had a lovely time throughout.
it has me reflecting on how much better for me this year went, compared to last. I’m glad for that.
