Which can be really dangerous.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/ap/users/115864320132296558/statuses/116569670251454744</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/ap/users/115864320132296558/statuses/116569670251454744</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[mxenbionix@mastodon.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 22:40:09 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to mormons have seeded all the bad shit from Silicon Valley. on Wed, 13 May 2026 22:28:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/blogdiva%40mastodon.social">@<span>blogdiva</span></a></span> I've said this elsewhere, but I had a huge book of Bible stories for children (1960s era) and it was that level of gooey, smarmy illustration. VERY slick.

He was semi-local in my part of California, took over a historic house that was a Mexican restaurant, made it a gallery.

A quote: “PJ Accetturo… noted on X that there’s a “massive gap in the market: AI Bible story films. Demand is huge. Supply is almost zero. Audiences aren’t picky about fidelity—they just want more.” Accetturo also said he’s working on his own AI-generated Bible video for a different publisher about the story of Jonah.”</p><p> <a
