The very predictable side effect of not hiring junior roles and replacing* them with AI instead. *AI can't actually do the job of humans. (Credit: inspired by a tweet by a @Dylanszn01 on twitter)

Who killed Hannibal? meme with the text over man with gun "Companies replacing Junior Roles with AI" shooting another man on a couch with text "Junior Artists". Second image is the text: (5 years later) Why can't we find senior talent?

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

The new Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake's Link design looks very very similar to my 2 year old daughter and it is making me laugh.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Wanted to live in Cloud City ever since I first saw The Empire Strikes Back. Feels like I’ve been painting variations of it forever
