AI safety expert Timnit Gebru says tech leaders are promoting greatly exaggerated claims about "superintelligence" and "existential risk" as a way to distract from the real threat — their own unregulated companies.

My interpretation of a river birch dryad. #illustration #inkillustration #lineart #inkart
Framed minimal ink line drawing of a laughing plus size woman with long birch branches instead of hair flowing from the top of her head. She faces with her back toward the viewer, and her skin transitions slowly from human to shaggy, textured birch bark.

Dryads from the north woods of Wisconsin - three white cedar trees growing together #illustration #inkart #dryads #minimalart
A framed ink drawing. Deep black lines on white paper create a free-flowing illustration of three women with white cedar tree branches growing from their heads. They are posed like a thicket of trees between skinny hemlock saplings.

Yeah, I don't get it, but I also didn't get "Nonsense" when it first came out and found I enjoyed Sabrina Carpenter more after she grew into herself a bit. Holding my judgment on Adela until something similar happens.

Hi, poor person here. this is an incorrect trope often used by the upper classes. both political parties cater to the very rich who have oddball priorities often driven by esoteric moral values. the poor are never given an option to vote for any of their own interests at all. thanks for reading.

Feeling so discouraged about making art these days, like I really want this to be a career for me but I'm starting to not be able to justify the growing ratio of loss to income. I know the economy is terrible right now, but it still stinks

The Wolf. Check him out in the middle-grade sci-fi novel "What Next? Phase 1" bookshop.org/p/books/what... #illustration #middlegradebooks
A pen and ink illustration. A two-headed white wolf stalks in a snowy tundra. The wolf dwarfs two warmly-dressed humans and a smaller wolf, who faces the two-headed wolf while growling fiercely. Enormous spiky mountains loom in the distance.

folks SAY they want kindness but this is not always the case. the most controversial thing that i ever post is 'the best way to make inroads in any creative profession is to be kind'. i get SO much pushback, because it is a scary idea for those who have trained themselves to be unkind as a defense

Roger Ebert, master film critic and historian, wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times for 46 years. His story of meeting Dolly Parton, who died today at 80 years old, especially stands out.

year 1: there's still grant funding, but we may need to change how we talk about our work, or what we work on year 2: the government has disappeared one billion dollars of science funding. it is unclear why they did that or where that sits within concepts like "the rule of law"
