N. M. Simmons

Just a writer among the masses looking for inspiration. Music, animals, science, photography and weird. Thank you.

@mbta535 @LasVegasLocally My thoughts exactly. So unbelievably stupid. I’m all for peaceful protesting to raise awareness, but this is… those protesters are just dumb. They give protestors and environmentalists a bad name.

@s_palm @ScienceAlert Did you read the article though? The headline is a bit misleading as the theory that Nessie is a giant eel is immediately dismissed. But reading about the scientists’ investigation into the possibility was fun.

I absolutely—to my very core—loathe, detest, and despise AI in the arts. The idea of a book of poetry “written” by AI is an abomination. It is an affront to our ancestors and a plague upon our successors. It is nothing more than factory farming and it should end before it grows.

[John Joseph Adams @JohnJosephAdams]

I got a press release today about a new book coming out from Hachette by an AI poet—as in the whole book is written by an AI. Wonderful time to announce when actors/writers are striking partly because producers think they can replace creatives with AI.

@nancycartwright I love the fact you did the voice of the My Little Pony, Gusty in the 1986 movie. Gusty was one of my favorites 😁

@anna_mocikat AI writing is factory farming and I hate em both.

[N. M. Simmons @NikMSimmons]

@anna_mocikat @roninmercllc @SylviaWoodham Right. This is exponential. It’s not limited to one industry. There’s nothing we can compare AI to except for cancer. Maybe cancer.

[N. M. Simmons @NikMSimmons]

@BryanHarrisTech @anna_mocikat @iBryAi If brevity is the soul of wit, AI ain’t got shit. I need a tl;dr version. I’m with @anna_mocikat 100%. I’ll never support AI in anything related to humanity (including the arts). It has useful applications elsewhere but in the arts, it’s dreck.

[N. M. Simmons @NikMSimmons]

Artists leaving the industry because of AI is a tragedy. From this thread, I did learn that there is a software called Procreate and they are adamantly against AI. Good to know. #SupportTheStrikes #SupportArtists #DownWithAI (in the arts) #CreateDontRegurgitate

As of today, I am fully out of the industry.

It's been emotional. I've worked professionally in the Digital Art industry from the ages of 14 to 39.

End of an era ❤️

@mxcarmilla I would have panic attacks and migraines after EMDR sessions. My therapist was unbelievably supportive and coached me through it all. I’m so glad I stuck with it, the results were well worth the struggle.

@Cole88343115 @LasVegasLocally Did you zoom in on the jockey’s face? Looks like a mangled Star Wars character.

T.gondii strikes again! Fascinating how a parasite could greatly influence the structure and dynamic of entire wolf packs. #Parasite #Nature #ThanksCats

There's a difference between a tagline and the hook of your book. In this older video, James and I discussed what makes a good hook, which is what will really sell your query https://t.co/r64S0RrHmn

I missed the Northern Lights 😭😭😭 Haven’t seen them since I was a kid in Montana. I would have never thought they could be seen from anywhere near Las Vegas. It’s like my synesthesia on the big screen. #NorthernLights #inspiration #icantbelieveimissedthis #thecolorsduke

@MKeenerWrites I’m sorry there was creepy stuff going on… But huge congratulations on becoming a doctor! Love the mug too!
