The second is more interesting, and shows how scarily accurate AI has become: draw something and the page’s AI will try to correct it for you based on what it predicts you drew. If it’s wrong, shake the screen. [Maybe NSFW]

An Oral History Of The Warren Ellis Forum

An Oral History Of The Warren Ellis Forum -- Kieron Gillen: It was like the CBGB of noughties comics. Matt Fraction: It was a very micro-focused tribe in a lot of ways. Kelly Sue DeConnick: Micro-focused tribe is the most Warren Ellis thing you've ever said. Chip Zdarsky: Warren has changed so many lives just by the act of maintaining that forum for us. Heidi McDonald: Warren was essentially inventing how people build their brands online. Christopher Sebela: It was just like—the internet could be good sometimes. Bryan Lee O'Malley: He's a visionary, and he brought people together basically to complain about stuff, but also, so that they could talk about the future and have a future.
