Ugh I’ve gotten this on the non-lawyer side - “we’ve asked ChatGPT to help us come up with concepts” Guarantee it wasn’t an enterprise version.

I frankly don’t think we’re at risk of a skynet style AI takeover, but the sheer laziness and forfeiting of institutional knowledge that AI/LLMs permit will absolutely be our downfall

Intermittent posting time! Had a break in freelance to finally work on my swamp thing piece, so if you’d like to see the progress updates check it out on Patreon.com/asidesart

It’s always been amusing to me that literary work I always gravitate towards sci fi yet if you ask me to list visual inspiration it invariably turns towards horror/weird stuff and like zero sci fi. Dunno what that’s about.

Andrew Sides @asidesart.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Finally, FINALLY possibly hitting a breather with freelance, so maybe I can show off some sketches and whatnot soon… In the meantime, I’ve been reading quite a bit of sci fi. Currently Ministry of the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.

MAN. If you find it let me know. The only thing I could find was Wordpress, which is far different than what it was back in the day. You still have to pay for your hosting but the actual Wordpress is free.

Man that’s been me in Florida this year. It’s been an uncommonly dry season. We’ve had rain but it’s not to the same unrelenting consistency that we usually have during the summer.

Me, coming off the regular studio job, while spinning plate like 3 different freelance projects and two private commissions: “My god I only have one Patreon post this month. I am a failure”

I have no idea how people who do freelance maintain a Patreon at the same time (even more so if they have a day job, art or otherwise) but I am constantly marveled by it

AI dipshits are the types who would look at the BTS footage of who framed Roger rabbit and have zero sense of wonder at how it was pulled off and marvel instead at “how much easier it is with computers now”

That whole video from Epic showing their concept process with AI is the stupidest thing imaginable. At no point does it meaningfully contribute and often actively fucks up the process and for what? Minor polish that doesn’t matter for concept art?

What I always wonder is - does this make it easier or harder for Trump and his ilk to break the law? Easier because there’s no one saying “no” Or harder because they lack actual competent malcontents?

Artists! Quote with your blue art! Painted by a human 💚 #digitalpainting #dragonart #summoning #digitalart

A massive dragon made of ice rises from the depths of a cave, with icicles for horns and teeth. Chunks of ice or snow fall away as it rises. On a ledge before it, a summoner stands with a glowing orange ball of light--the same orange glow as the dragon's eye.

Mid life crises back in the day involved buying a car or some other dumb shit. I think a mid-life crisis nowadays is daydreaming the best way to effectively blow up a datacenter while debating if you search for that or not

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

Ffffff fuck that I pay close to 1500 a month for healthcare for me and my family and it’s “eh”. Definitely doesn’t cover anything until the deductible is hit and that deductible is 10,000 for the family.

Oscar Isaac deserves credit for being, as far as I know, the first major actor to capture the tech bro CEO, in Ex Machina. Those guys were all over the news by then, but movies were still doing the "babbling nerd with a pocket protector" thing. Also accurate: what he really wants is slavery.
