    For the record, I don’t claim to be a doomer in the slightest, just someone who seeks to understand the trajectories of late-stage capitalism and global climate change. But yeah, as you say, science is always coming up with exciting new breakthroughs and such.

    Btw, are you the major Moebius appreciator from a couple years ago?

      Note taken! When I think about the doomer attitude, I really feel it depresses people. I’m more of an optimistic mind, or if all goes to hell, yeah let’s have cheese and party!

      And yeah that’s me, I had a hard time (found out I’m allergic to nuts, but before that I was crazy tired for years, on and off, and that had some impact on my life to say the least) but since the start of the summer I’m back (burning in the french heat waves 🥵) ! I also picked up painting so I’m more of a Renoir guy than Moebuys dud nowadays I guess. Giraud still rocks though 😋!

      You did a Tintin spin off right? Angered some anti-AI luddites IIRC, what are you up to now?

        Yeah, I feel that. Life is short, and I don’t see the point in being gloomy if one can possibly help it.

        I also picked up painting

        Oh, nice. I do remember you sharing some art samples a couple years ago.

        You did a Tintin spin off right?

        Haha, I did that once and only once, when I was discovering the possibilities of ChatGPT. I learned a lesson about sharing, but I do still use GPT all the time as an information / lookup assistant.

        Anyway, I’m still curating EGN. Still going strong after 3+yrs…
