applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Yeah, it's quite the paradox that the people who understand AI aren't impressed by it. A real head scratcher.

New research has uncovered a paradoxical relationship between AI literacy and receptivity: Individuals with lower AI literacy are more likely to embrace AI, despite perceiving it as less capable and m...

This is extraordinary: "emissions by data centres needed to train and deliver AI services are estimated at around 3 per cent of the global total, close to those created by the aviation industry."

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.

I made this drawing of my mum looking after a rescue possum for an art show but I like it so much I think I'll just give it to her for Mother's Day instead. 💕
Pencil sketch of two hands holding a baby brush-tail possum in a fabric pouch. The possums claws are holding onto the thumb.

More proof that AI is a complete joke: I had to do an AI personality assessment for an application and it said that I love change and spontaneity, bitch I'm autistic.

A four panel meme from "The White Lotus," S3, Ep,6, Panel 1:  Saxton: Why can't you just like my geneative A*I art?
 Panel 2: Chelsea:  You have to be vulnerable enough to be bad at something to be good at it, but you're too much of a coward.
Panel 3: Chelsea: Because you're soulless.
Panel 4: Saxton disassociating

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

There's a lot going on, but we should not let this slip under the radar—Google and OpenAI are cynically seizing on the Trump admin's hawkish, US-first AI policy instincts to make a play at gutting artists' copyright protections once and for all. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/openai-and...

OpenAI and Google have cozied up to Trump's imperialist approach to AI for a shot at tearing down artists' copyright protections.

Great article on why nazis love AI Art. No longer do memes and communicating agenda require nazis to have a single creative worker in their corner willing to sign off on a hideous vision of society, AI offers direct brain-worms-to-audience communication newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

So fkn disappointed in Bliss N Eso for using AI in their new album visuals, local Aussie artists would've killed for this gig and done a far better job 👎
A concert poster for Australian band Bliss N Eso's new tour "Party On The Moon". It features an AI image of an astronaut with flaming wings. A sticker on the poster says "this was made with STOLEN ART".

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Nothing more humbling than lino printing, no matter how hard I try to make sure things are reversed properly I always miss something 😭
Close up of a blue lino print of words, everything looks correct except for the letter y which is tragically backwards.

I've spent the last year working on a zine about many of the ways that Generative AI is harming not just artists but all of us. I have the pdf available for free on my website if you'd like to read any of it. 💙 madagasc.art/art-v-ai/
A small perfect-bound zine, it has a blue cover with the hands from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel painting. One hand is distorted with multiple fingers as if it were AI generated. The tile reads "Art V AI: How technology that threatens artists threatens us all. Zine by Madison Marshall".
