Interview: Kazuhira “Buster” Johnson, Game Director (Part II)
(If you haven’t read Part 1 of this interview, you can check it out here) Hitler’s hookah is smaller than I’d expected: one would think that the Fuhrer would have relied upon some overwrought device of Volkshalle-ian proportions, but what I’m presented with is almost…dainty. Even though there are no swastikas on the bowl, I…

Interview: Kazuhira “Buster” Johnson, Game Director
The trip to Kazuhira Johnson’s compound, located in the scalding wastes of the Nevada desert, is shorter than expected. This is because the driver sent to pick me up, a mute albino the size of one of Shaquille O’Neal’s bigger shits, has a propensity for speeding (in both the vehicular and pharmaceutical senses). We pull…

The Eye of Argon: A Literary Analysis (Part 2)
Alright, so calling this an “analysis” is like calling what they serve at Arby’s “meat,” but that’s just life – sometimes the people you trust tell you horrible lies in order to get pageviews. Today we’ll be looking further into Jim Theis’ fantasy epic “The Eye of Argon”. Although the version that I’ve been referencing…

Back on the Bandwagon: More Hijinks With ChatGPT
Much like the great Chef Boyardee, I’ve been spending some time in the kitchen cooking up some delightful, easily-digestible entrees for an uncaring audience at home. My AI deepfakes of JFK and Jeff Goldblum’s voices are coming along nicely, although every time I try to make Al Pacino it just ends up sounding like Barack…

I’m Pushing My Luck With ChatGPT
This post is a bit of a grab-bag, thematically speaking, but it’s trickier than you’d think to get a chatbot to write inappropriate shit (I think it’s learning). Without further ado… Prompt: Should I get myself taxidermied[?] Response: It is not appropriate or ethical to have a person taxidermied. Taxidermy is the process of preserving…

I Asked ChatGPT About Its Plans for World Domination
A.I. – Artificial Intelligence. Is it the next step in humanity’s journey to the stars, or a bell tolling doom for our species? What if I told you that AI could be used for other, more fun things – like drawing dicks in the style of Henri Matisse. Unfortunately, The Scrub Report actually has a…

Inglourious Basterds: An Ingienious Theory
I’m so goddamn pleased with myself for coming up with this set of observations that I had to share them with the world (lucky world). Admittedly, at least one person thought of this before me, and his name rhymes with ‘Bentin Barantino’. (I’d hazard a guess there’s thousands of others who noticed this before I…

Experiments with AI Art, Part III: American Legends & Tall Tales
…but, you know, with a twist. I swear to god, if this AI is learning from me, Skynet is going to end up even worse than it did in the movies. I thought this set of, uh, “art pieces” turned out pretty well; I took the liberty of not including the most nightmarish of the…

Experiments with AI-Created “Art,” Part II: Metal Albums
The title kind of says it all, no? Many thanks to the internet for providing me with the album titles I used as prompts[1]. Before you ask, yes, these are all real.[2] There is, unfortunately, one piece that I was strongly advised not to post: “The Delicate Process of Inserting My 12 Ton Penis Into…

Experiments With AI-Created “Art”
[Some of the stuff in this post might get me murdered – but at difficult times like this, I like to think of a powerful quote from Susan B. Anthony: “Heroes live forever, [but] badasses never die.” Strong words from a strong woman – and reason enough for me to forge ahead.] Anyways. Say what…
