Heard about an hour ago that @Bycats4cats - Snap E. Tiger - passed away. I'll miss him; I wasn't staying in as close a touch with him the last couple of years.
Here he is back in 2002.
Yeah, someone else imparted the news in a local group, of the passing of @Bycats4cats.
I never interacted with him directly, but -- if I'm remembering right and not crossing my memory wires -- I do remember seeing him from the old FURSUIT email group days, and just onward from there, from the LiveJournal fursuit group to the WIP Zone group on TG.
He certainly seemed to be connected to a lot of folks. And so, yeah, his unexpected passing certainly appears to have been felt across a wide swath of the community.
Rest in peace.
The mechanic removed the back plate and inhaled through pursed lips. "Who did this?"
"I did," the robot said.
"How?"
"I took one arm off, put in a wireless interface so I could still use it, and put it in a vice, then turned-"
"OK. Why?"
"I needed fixing."
"You are allowed to ask for help."
"Swedish Gothic" is a contemporary painting, depicting Mausie and Iris standing in front of a traditional Scandinavian wooden house. The painting was displayed at the NordicFuzzCon museum until a premeditated tragedy happened, the painting was replaced by a forged copy. It is in hands of Mausie and Iris to solve this crime next year at NordicFuzzCon 2027: Crime Noir.
What the heck are you talking about, Paco?
Check the video shown at NordicFuzzCon's closing ceremony: https://youtu.be/VBifXZQ6mBw?si=SKfXdtgfG2AVu_Zf
The work references the famous 1930 painting American Gothic by Grant Wood.
Some fun facts about this parody:
- I worked on this digital painting not even knowing what was the theme for NordicFuzzCon 2027, and I could have known but I wanted to keep my own surprise for the closing ceremony.
- It was me who picked American Gothic to make a parody, and it was the animator who found it funny because the person portrayed on the original painting was the dentist of his grandparents (something like that)
- I also worked on the forgeddery version, which was a parody of AI generated art, but that version was actually human mande, it was me who distorted it so it looked like generated (you can see that other version in the YouTube video. 2:11 )
- My panda character is featured in that video for less than a second, 8 frames to be exact. 0:59
- Mausie and Iris species are "Raus", a hybrid between rat and mouse, and the plural is not Rauses but "Rice"
Digital. Procreate

I think the stamped value will have you surprised. It is one of this huge props. Did you get one made or did you make it or borrow it?
I love those props.
Well. I just saw a post about tickets for EMF going on sale in a couple of days. I took a look, read through the web site, and am still unsure if I'd be willing to endure camping in order to go to something like that.
Then I realised the post is 2 weeks old (because I'm 2 weeks behind on reading my feed) and they're sold out. But it does sound like a lot of stuff I might be interested in, *IF* I went with people I know.
But it does mean camping, in a tent, in a field, quite possibly in mud, quite possibly with lyme-disease-carrying ticks around, sourcing and transporting everything needed for camping, plus backup stuff so I'm not left without if something breaks, and also probably not feeling properly clean for the whole event. I'd be more interested if they had some actual indoor rooms available.
I sortakinda hate that I'm getting so unadventurous these days. I just have so little energy most of the time and so little tolerance for discomfort.
there is another opening tonight. Then another in April. They are warning there's not many left though o.<
There are a bunch of us furs going. The Furry High Council has a load of the regulars. Then theres a bunch of old CFz staffers trying to go this year too. So you wouldn't be on your own! ❤
I did more than just perform in a dance competition at Scotiacon - there were also Shenanigans involving workplace safety violations at the Old Mine...

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.
There was a new sign:
"This sleeping willow is full."
And a map of other locations to try.

"I bought this enchanted sword," the student said. "It glows in the presence of someone who questions their identity."
Buying such a sword was a strong hint, the swordmaster thought. "And it glows?"
"It glows regardless of how far away I am!"
"Ah. Is it a sword, or an identity doubt detector?"
"Master, I had a thought. What if the sword doubts its identity?"
"I know a smith who specialises in ploughshares. We can ask her."
Ok wait... so if your company makes your developers use AI to generate code, you can no longer copyright, trademark or patent that code?
Cool. I'm sure that will work out great for you :)

We've been able to do this for a while now on a targeted scale. In fact, I have personally worked on this myself. To think anything has been remotely anonymous in the past 15 years is kind of silly, I'm afraid.
Still, it's an interesting application of LLM and scale. I suspect it's way harder to know when it's simply lying to you than with more traditional techniques. And that makes it way more dangerous.
It will pretty much only be used for harm.

Happy Mother's Day to any and all mothers out there.
My family gathered this evening at (one of my sisters)' place for a chinese takeaway, which was pretty good. My aunt made a toast to my sisters, and to several other mothers in our family, including mine, who are no longer with us. She said, looking around the table, that they'd done a good job.
Complimented by proxy. Nice.
I just realised what ChatGPT reminds me of.
