@cattailnu "But... but I have to get this funding. All depends on it""I don't care Mr. Fizzleberg, I cannot fund your research," said the man on the chair, sitting in front of the library. "No one in the world can make profits out of an environmental research. Simply no returns."Other side of the desk, man in suits burst from inside. But somehow that anger didn't tear open his chest. He took a breath and stood up. He moved to the door and gave his answer. "There won't be a world to profit"

@cattailnu #MicroFiction #TootFic« Sir, this year's turnover is as bad as it was 20 years ago!— See that picture on the wall?— I don't quite see the connection. What I'm telling you is very important.— That gaze towards the horizon is my father's. He raised me to be like him, and I'm running this company just as he did. So if his sales were terrible, mine will be just as bad! »

@KorayKaratay Sure! Lots of profit from environmental research... sort of. That's an underlying theme in my Colony One novel. :) But we do need a world!

@cattailnu "Mr. Deloitte, I have something to tell you."Jeffrey leaned across the desk until his entire upper body overshadowed the mess of papers the two of them had been editing. Casting his eyes downward he took in the results of their work. Eighteen months spent preparing to publish what would be their first public collaboration.Jeffrey knew what he was about to say might destroy everything. Three words spoken in a hushed tone would make or break their partnership forever.

@cattailnu —No. I don't… no, I can't understand this.—It's easy. They go, they take the box and they return.—Why do they have to take the box?—It was theirs in the first place. They want it back.—Why did they lost it?—They left it in the town square, unattended for a few minutes.—Why did they do that if it was so important?—They didn't knew that. Their boss told that later. Listen, the idea is to tell a classic tale here.—I still can't understand your story. Rewrite it…#WritingPrompt

Lindsay was ashamed. She had done it this time."L. look," her boss, Alexander said, "You can't keep coming into work like this."She nodded. Her habit of attempting to eat her entire hand had finally detached her left arm completely. It was smoking the cloud flower Byzantine and looking at too many AI chat generation models. It also had turned the entire room blue and the entire outside some sort of ghastly yellow for unknown reasons. Also, they were now 1920s cartoons.Lindsay knew she had to stop eating her hand and smoking electric crack or things would only get worse. Maybe the Zebras would come back.Also her right hand had merged with her face! Walking down the street would be horribly embarrassing with one hand down her throat, one merged into her face and her elbows waggling about at ear level. If she could even find the street that is - the office had been floating in the clouds for weeks because Alexander couldn't be bothered to pay for stairs.Alexander wasn't the best boss. In fact he was quite the ignoramus, having, at the moment of this particular lecture, become imprisoned in the very chair he was sitting in having caught his arm in between the spokes of his seat. The office windows were much too large for the single window shade, and even the ceilings were themselves a bit tall. Not to mention that the colors - ok, we're mentioning them again. Bleh! And not to nitpick here, if Alexander is the boss and Lindsay the employee, shouldn't he be sitting behind the desk? Anyway, Grossman & Sons was profitable, despite, or, perhaps even, because, of Lindsay's smoking of cloud flower. They were featured every week in The Universal Weekly's comic section for "Spot the (Reality) Difference" on planets classified as X-3235, Y-2352, N-2345, and a small star cluster (that you may have heard of) NBD-32949, which brought in a sizeable amount of money. Money, that in Lindsay's opinion, should *really* be used to pay the stair tax. Now, if Alexander's hands could just stop unraveling. (Check the list kiddos - how many clues did you spot? Lindsay's hands, Alexander's hands and arms, color scheme, chair positions, size of the office in proportion to the humanoids, clouds in the background. Tune in next week for more "Spot the (Reality) Difference" fun!)

@cattailnu You may want to take a look at this article https://maggieappleton.com/ai-dark-forest. The midjourney v4 algorithms are indistinguishable from professional artists, but I don't know if you have to pay for them.

@peter_weyand It's an interesting read. I have bots auto-posting to both twitter and facebook, and I was absolutely delighted to get this set up and working. I still wrote the text and generated the images, but it's now scheduled through the end of February. I haven't gotten around to setting up March yet, although I have the images. Huge timesaver, and my goal for those is to post images that "make people feel good" as there's enough angst online.

@peter_weyand Finding "real information" on the internet has been increasingly difficult for years, with deliberate misinformation and contamination by echo-chambers. I poked chatgpt briefly and got some code. As for "asking it for information" or "getting it to give me a story", meh.

@peter_weyand Would you like to see a "definitely a real human wrote it" blog post, I'm quite fond of my "Top 10 Sci-fi Poison Dart Frog Sonnets" guest blog post: https://archaeolibrarian.wixsite.com/website/post/maz-originbyt-l-ford - scroll down about halfway. You will also find that my published novels are missing the usual "same ol'same ol'" plots.

@peter_weyand My books: Colony One, Maz, Origin, and my art books all have real-human drawn art. Lawful Good Thief and Stealing Magic both have MJ chapter-header graphics. All of the text is written by me, not some program.

@cattailnu #Promptodon #FlashFiction #MicroFictionTerry moved the rook across the board. “Check, and mate.” They both sat hunched over the board for long seconds, reviewing their moves.“We should call the guards —““Nah Tim. They’ll figure it out eventually.”“Really? Like they did with Dad’s murder?”“Yeah, I guess if that were true I’d be doing life, instead of you walking out of juve in a month.”They both chuckled. Strategy and patience were, indeed, the key to success.

@cattailnu "I dunno, Charles. It's just...It's all getting to be a bit much. I sit here listening to other people's problems day in and day out. But no asks about mine. No one asks me about this picture on the wall and why it's important to me. They all just see a well adjusted psychiatrist & assume everything's copacetic. And of course I'm supposed to be the one that always has my sh*t together. I'm a medical professional. God forbid I have problems. So I hold them in, one by one."
