@Blender to expand a little on the wave of disappointed replies you're seeing, genAI has been a scourge within a huge range of artist communities for the past few years. on balance it has made the lives of a large % of visual artists worse, has been used as justification to pay them less or not at all - despite being trained on their work without their permission.
the boosters are loud and very well-funded. please instead listen to your community.

@Blender you guys... I have been financially supporting you for like 15 years, and I help run the SLC Blender User Group to promote free and open tools for everyone. Reading this breaks my heart. As an artist who's art has been stolen by this plagiarism machine, and as a coder who's code has been stolen by this plagiarism machine, this feels like a pretty hard slap in the face. Your community doesn't want you taking dirty money like this from unethical tech bros. Please reconsider.

I've always loved a good em-dash…but honestly I'm more of an ellipsis man myself. And a real one typographical mark at that (aka the single "…" character, not merely typing three periods in a row).

I know it was historically used to indicate omission…but for me it serves a useful purpose as a more emphatic comma, a real pause.

I get fan mail sometimes. It can be...interesting.

For some reason, I continually receive fan mail, which is to say that I receive fan mail for my more famous namesake. Some of the messages are...interesting.

AI companies scramble to find a path to profitability as easy money begins to dry up and investors grow restless. Strategies abound as the token economy takes hold - what lies ahead in the industry?

Tucked away in the woodlands of Pennsylvania lies a unique fleet of streamlined 1930s and 1950s streetcars. These St Louis and Pullman-Standard carriages have glorious vintage Americana vibes.

Many of these date to the height of the Streamline Moderne era. At this time, streamlined aerodynamic forms replaced the geometric shapes and excessive ornamentation of the earlier Art Deco style.
