Can 51 year old Jessica allow one man to control her again?
Especially now she's come face-to-face with Aiden Dowling, 54—a confident, attractive Dom, who looks at her like an apex predator.

Well I did it.
Instead of sleeping, I spent the night writing an open letter to Mikey Shulman, the CEO of #suno.

I am dog-tired, and boosts are greatly appreciated.

So-called "generative" AI is the opposite of generative. The word "generative" in the name "generative AI" is a piece of jargon that is, even then, arguably misused in some applications. But as an anti-imagination, remix-only technology, it's just not generative at all, and cannot be. On top of this it impedes creative expression in multiple ways: co-opting it, devaluing it, directing energy away from it, etc.

"I do not want a computer to summarise texts sent by my friends into shorter sentences, as though the work of being updated on the lives of those I love is somehow strenuous or not what being alive is all about."
Writer and painter Joseph Earp nails it in this Guardian essay.

Isabella Coburn, 50, used to be the most in-demand nude artist’s model, now she’s a successful sculptor.
Artist, Gabriel ‘Archangel’ Milford, 53, needs Isabella to model for him and sparks fly when they meet. Though she refuses him, Gabriel is determined Issie will pose for him. She’s equally determined she won’t.

As a kid, you go to the beach and after a swim, you get the idea that the sand around you could be something else, so you start to form it into shapes. Then, other kids come along and they help you. Before you know it, you have created a castle together. Then, you start to create something else but suddenly an angry foot comes along and kicks it all down because the foot doesn't get it and its only way to cope is to destroy whatever it doesn't understand.
I've put three tracks from an as yet untitled work-in-progress #progressiverock #rock album on my web site. Guitar music with Latin influences and synths. #music #singersongwriter #songwriter #creativity #art #MusicProduction

A new #Science review of 34,000 world-class performers shows a surprising pattern: most top scientists, athletes, musicians, and chess players were not child prodigies. About 90% of elite adults were different people than the early “stars.”

Future champions often developed slower, explored multiple disciplines, and avoided early specialization. Early over-training may help kids win, but it rarely creates world leaders. 🤔

Creativity is like a muscle. If you want to become more creative, you have to exercise it.
When I was in art school (years ago), we exercised every day to become more creative. Artists have to train to get there too. It's not magic or "talent," it's hard work.
When you use AI to give you "inspiration," you are doing the opposite of that. You are atrophying your creativity muscle.
If you want to become a creator, and become more creative, you should stop using AI entirely. Instead, start training your own genuine creativity. Otherwise, it will eventually dry off completely.

Finn - The Silk Rope Masters, 6
https://www.evernightpublishing.com/finn-by-suzy-shearer/
Claire Reynolds, 55, never believed in soul mates, or love at first sight, until she literally ran into Finn O’Malley, 55. Something happened—something primeval, something like destiny calling, as they stared at each other.
A ‘happy ever after’ was theirs for the taking—and they grabbed it joyfully with both hands.
Mysterious floral gifts. A hidden agenda. A faux saviour. A watcher who finally acts. An act that intends death to Finn. An act that neither Finn or Claire may survive.
Be Warned: BDSM, anal sex, sex toys, public exhibition
