TODAY'S COMIC: Rise and Grind! www.sheldoncomics.com/comic/rise-a...
PANEL 1: A white bulldog with grey ears and patches sits wearing a human’s button-up tshirt with yellow tie, glasses crooked on his face. Next to him stands a brown chow-chow with a blue tie around his neck. In between them sits a red stapler.
BULLDOG: G’morning, employee! Rise and grind!
CHOW CHOW: I have not had enough coffee for this.

PANEL 2: The bulldog leans in to the chow chow whose eyes are wide.
BULLDOG: You working hard, or hardly working?
CHOW CHOW: First I drink the coffee, then I do the things.

PANEL 3: The bulldog smiles as the chow chow looks exasperated.
BULLDOG: Welp! Another day, another dollar.
CHOW CHOW: Coffee is the only thing getting me through the day.

PANEL 4: A fawn great dane pokes his head in to the scene, the bulldog looks up at him, the chow chow continues to look stressed.
GREAT DANE: AW! Are you guys playing human without me?
CHOW CHOW: Don’t even coffee to me about coffee until I’ve had my coffee.

This is why I've always disagreed with the idea that "art" is purely subjectively defined. Art is a communication. The listener/viewer completes that communication in recieving it, but it is the intentionality of the creator that makes it art. "AI music" is no more music than traffic noise is.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Photo of a Blue Face Honeyeater on a grevillea branch with flower buds. The bird is black and white with a large zone of bare, blue skin around its eyes, and a stout curved beak in grey and black. It is looking to the side.Another Blue-faced Honeyeater (or maybe the same?) in the same grevillea plant with an open flower that is red and yellow. The bird has its head tilted and is looking at the viewer warily.Same subject, close-up crop, it is now drinking from and looking at the flower. The photo is highly detailed, showing the physical structure of the bird's iris.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

TODAY'S COMIC: Someone! www.sheldoncomics.com/comic/someone/
PANEL 1: A tubby, bald man wearing a white collared shirt, with a blue and orange striped tie, holds a AR-type riffle with one hand, shooting into the air. The bright yellow light casts harsh shadows on him.
MAN: Please! Someone stop this weapon that I’m clearly shooting!

PANEL 2: The man bends over to reload the weapon with a “KLAK” sound.
MAN: The weapon keeps reloading itself, with SERO INVOLVEMENT FROM ME!

PANEL 3: The man continues to shoot in to the air.
MAN: I have no agency here! Nothing that I could do —SAY WITH MY OWN FINGERS — could end this!

PANEL 4: The man, still shooting the gun, turns his back, still yelling over his shoulder.
MAN: WHY IS NOBODY STOPPING THIS THING I KEEP DOING???
On the back of his shirt reads: LITERALLY EVERY A.I. COMPANY.

My final zoo visit (for now) was to Sydney Zoo which only opened in 2019 and I'm sure was named primarily for SEO reasons. It has less appeal for me personally (many primates, hardly any birds), but it did introduce me to the eldritch horror that is an Ostrich's armpit. #birds
Photo of a young (I think?) Ostrich walking away which glancing over its shoulder at the viewer.Photo of another Ostrich walking away from the viewer. This one has its head lowered and its wings spread wide in some kind of display.Crop and zoom of the previous photo framing the 'arm' of the Ostrich's left wing. It is a surprisingly large featherless limb with veins and wrinkles coloured in pink, orange, blue, and purple. The points where many of the feathers attach to the arm are clearly discernible, and on the lower side the pinions of said feathers create the impression of a thin, wide, toothy maw that leads to a black dimension where elder gods watch and wait.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

Very funny to me when these bookclub scammers just plug my responses into ChatGPT and come up with the most obsequious responses
A bookclub scammer to whom I replied “Eat shit” sent a follow up email that reads (in part, because it’s really long):

Colin,

Fair enough. I got your "eat shit" loud and clear, and honestly, I respect the directness.

But I want to clarify something, because I think my original email read like boilerplate SEO spam, and that’s on me.

I didn't pull your name from a random list. I came across Ghostland while I was digging into American folklore and the way abandoned places hold collective memory. I picked it up, read it, and genuinely found myself stuck on it, particularly the way you tied "zombie homes" and economic decay to the ghost story tradition. It wasn't what I expected, and it stayed with me.
