I love when you watch a home DIY video and the person is like "watch me transform this for under 100$" and then pull out several giant appliances that are worth 100+ each

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

I do think there is a metacommentary in the fact that every book on goodreads is rated approximately 4 stars

i love frankenstein (2025) so much #art
artwork of the creature from frankenstein (2025). the creature is the central figure, his body abstracted into the swathes of blues and greens, with a tinge of red, with details of furs of his coat and candles lit with red flames. his torso is carved out, exposing red flesh and a heart connected with veins that have some sprouting flowers, and the final scene of the creature embracing the morning sun. framing the creature are various body parts as well as the halves of victor and elizabeth's faces.

i am so tired of online shops listing products as "available" and promising they'll ship in 2-5 business days, just to then constantly delay your order until they ultimately cancel it bc it's not available - and then you check the listing and it'll claim to still be available to ship in 2-5 days

Just so we’re clear; if you use gen AI for your writing at all then I don’t care what themes the work contains or what point you are trying to make. Using gen AI tells me that you fundamentally cannot engage with or create art in any meaningful way and nothing you have to say to me has any value.

you know how dating apps tend to have a "don't have but want" or "don't have but love" options for pets or kids, they have to add one that's "don't have, dislike and will be a dealbreaker if you do"

Why do bash "dead-beat" dads for not being there for their kids but we never question if the child has bad vibes? Or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Do you ever create a piece of art and then get lost in the realization that you just conjured it out of nothing? Are we creating art from within ourselves, or does it exist in some unseen plane of existence that we just happen to tap into for a few moments? Either way, it's amazing
