When some comics became intangible online, paper became *visible* to artists again, leading to beautiful new paper comics. Now, when some "art" becomes inhuman, *we* become visible to ourselves again. What beautiful new *human* art might be the result?

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

The NFL ordering a team to shut down their @bsky.app is a stark reminder of just how curated our feeds are on traditional social media platforms. It’s not just that algorithms dictate what we see—those algorithms are shaped by business interests and partnerships behind the scenes. #Decentralization

Some very strange results with these two film rolls. think my camera might need servicing. #analogphotos taken in #Edinburgh, they are not edited, instead they were taken using color shifted film. 📷 #PentaxAuto110 🎞️ #LomochromePurple 🎞️ #LomochromeTurquoise #filmphotography #filmisnotdead

Color shifted photo of Dalry road in Edinburgh showing road with colony houses flanking ir. Color shifted blues towards pink but very subtle.

Color shifted photo from grassmarket in edinburgh showing square, pubs and part of the castle. Color shifted blues into pale salmon

Not comparable at all, as being an architect requires skill, education and practice. You are creating something yourself. An architect asking AI to build a floor plan for them is not creating.

Andre Should Be Writing @andreshouldwrite.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

If you use #AI to build something, then you are not building anything. You are not the builder. It is akin to going to McDonalds, asking for a meal and calling yourself a chef. You done nothing but contribute to a horrible socio economic project and shit on creators.

Industrial scale GPL, AGPL, and CC breaks all over the place and there is nothing you can do because they have more money than you and will survive any attempt to sue. It is a big middle finger to all FOSS #developers

#LLM models ignored all the decades of open source licensing, they just did massive license break because they know #FOSS initiatives don’t have the pockets to sue them.

"why are they doing this?" To kill open source ventures like Linux distros because the cost of adhering to this law is too much to expect these projects to pay and maintain, forcing everyone to use windows and train their AI/farm metadata They'll say it's for protecting kids or something tho

My #iPhone updated to the latest version. With it came #ageverification. Apple does this by having Wallet verify you. It failed. Then it tried to manually verify credit card. All my cards were not accepted. I tried five cards. Now I am locked out of many features. I am 45 years old. Fuck this shit.

They could have done it from the start and yet, they'll never do. Apple is in the business of selling "experiences" (whatever that mean) and they generate this artificial storytelling in which iOS, iPadOS, and macOS are actually different things cause reasons. It sucks.

argh, those new colours for MacBook Neo's are uninspired as fuck. Apple played way too safe with the selection. You can have boring corporate-person-in-training silver, indigo, and pink, or baby-puke worst yellow. They could have gone with some vivid colours (including a vibrant yellow).
