“Oh, you need your precious Chatbot to help you be creative? These freaks made a giant, tactile troll by hand that has taken up residence as my new sleep paralysis demon, born of their own sick minds.” The best review I’ve ever received. 😭🤌🏼

I post a lot of stories about cops using Flock to stalk former or current partners, but don't forget that cops also use Flock to intimidate and harass people who try to hold them accountable.

This is what happens when a director conflates a parable with real-world nuance. No, we don't need to "both sides" this tale because Dickens wrote the story as it was meant to be understood. Scrooge made mistakes and needed a wakeup call. That's it.

Every time a journalist comes to me with a story like this one, they say something along the lines of "At least it's good that they're catching the bad apples on the force that abuse the technology right?" and I have to point out that only a tiny fraction of abuse ever leads to consequences.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.
[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

I can't tell if @merriam-webster.com is trying to be motivational or just remind us how the higher ups view those lower down, but either way some of these synonyms for "worker" are a bit too real.
A screen shot of the Merriam-Webster list of synonyms for the word "worker, as in employee," which has highlighted the words: underling, toiler, flunky, cog, drudge, hack, yes-man, grub, temporary, and wage slave.

Underrated point of discussion with the AI + social media uproar is giving thanks to patrons of the arts, especially non-artists, who are willing to put in the effort to support artists at a time when it has never been easier or more normalized to do the opposite.

+ it doesn't matter what level of skill you are someone will dislike your work. even if you're absolutely best at it people won't like it because it's not what they want made in the exact way they want it done. answer is: do the art you like and and you'll find others that share the sentiment.

The push for the TikTok ban was bipartisan and stupid. But the Trump administration's goals for the ban have always been crystal clear: to place control of TikTok in the US in the hands of people chosen by and indebted to Trump.

Stages of making gift art: 1) Think of cool design. 2) Sketch it out. 3) Decide to go beyond experience and paint it on glass. 4) Make sketch into a stencil because writing mirrored is difficult, and I don't have the brain power for that right now. 5) Question life choices by writing a post.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.
