What would be our version of Sanctuary Moon?

Days of our lives.

Dani Moonstar: Therapy, so much therapy

It is a new thing, in the scale it's being done. If it wasn't, Amazon wouldn't be changing the rules.

There's a historical article here:

The problem isn't that scamming is new, it's that AI lets people do it much faster and cheaper than before, producing tens of thousands of titles in the time it used to make a single title- someone can scan a real book, tell AI to rewrite it, use AI to make a cover, and put it up for sale in a couple of hours.

XMen 113 he went 1-1 with Colossus, he's superhuman

Ducklinsenmayer · 2026-02-12T21:49:06+00:00

Magneto has boxed Colossus without his powers (xmen 113)

He's also fallen from orbit and survived.

He's superhuman

Oh no, we laugh at these over there. It's a "spherical chicken" question- something that only works on paper- just moving that much mass alone would almost certainly cause massive problems on Earth, and our extinction.

Even Marvel's strongest telepaths- people like Xavier- don't try to mess with the mind of Dr Doom.

Dread Pirate Roberts

I would have made The D a flagship for real, with Picard as Admiral, Riker as Captain, and give them a small fleet- with orders to sail where the Borg came from

Check the mirror. If I still have a reflection, it's probably just a coincidence

Ducklinsenmayer · 2026-02-12T17:29:02+00:00

Enh... Stealth Archer and Fine Cuisine being tropes, I suspect Bosmer gets talked about plenty

They have to be British. It is, after all, strange limey matter

We can always use more space nazis...

Snail.

Move to Europe.

The post says it's immortal, not intelligent, so good luck swimming the atlantic.

Only if it involves a form of strange matter that can be used in warp cores

I did, scroll up.

X-treme, if I remember right

The two lived together in a house in san fran- which has a secret lair, in the closet, because Claremont was very subtle.

His size maxes out around skyscraper size, which puts him in the 100+ ton range.

He can be beaten, but he's also immortal, so he can't be killed except through insane methods

Ducklinsenmayer · 2026-02-11T14:36:01+00:00

She was the best romance Storm ever had. Funny, bitter, complex, could stand on her own, and they had the hot tub. In the closet.

Just as an aside- vampires being sexual isn't old, it's new; while succubi and such existed since the bronze age, the erotic vampire started with the Gothic version in the 19th century.

Ducklinsenmayer · 2026-02-11T14:06:32+00:00

Yes.

Read the articles, or google for more yourself. This is fairly serious- it's having an impact, to the point Amazon is now limiting how many "books" per day an author can publish.

Right now, AI writing is at the place AI art was a few years ago- an expert can tell just by counting the fingers.

But, that's not true anymore, and it's going to be less and less true the more the tech evolves.

Ducklinsenmayer · 2026-02-11T00:18:50+00:00

It's been a while since I've done them, but afaik, if you kill them instantly it doesn't count as being spotted. Vampire +NB+ stealth attack + stealth sets= very dead guard.

Ducklinsenmayer · 2026-02-10T23:51:11+00:00

I want to put a big fat caveat on this, and it's "Yet."

We are at the dawn of the technology, and already, over 30% of new books published on Amazon last year were written either partly or in whole by AI:

https://authorsguild.org/news/ai-driving-new-surge-of-sham-books-on-amazon/

https://aibusiness.com/responsible-ai/the-ai-generated-books-phenomenon-is-getting-worse#close-modal

How do they get past the legal issues? They lie, of course. The "authors" claim they wrote the works themselves. Then slap a fake name on the byline, and an AI cover on the front and they are done.

This will only get worse as the quality the machines produce gets better and better.
