Couple little art things I did over the last two days. I'm due back to work tomorrow so I wanted to have a bit of a chill day and do something creative.

Decided to finally give in to the fact that I am terrible at love and joined a dating app. I have no idea what I'm doing 🤣 I've only ever been in one serious relationship and that lasted 7 years, so I've never actually had to do the whole 'dating' thing at allll 😅

So, I'm off to Sweden in September! I'll be there for a few weeks, and need ideas for stuff that can be good to do without having to travel too far 😊 I'll be in the South East of Sweden near the coast 🙌 I will be doing plenty of photography, of course, so anything that works for that is a bonus!

A judge has sentenced the Filton 4 as terrorists, behind the back of the jury, who only ever considered charges of criminal damage. This grotesque distortion of the law tightens the screws on the public’s right to protest, placing even more limits on our freedom to fight injustice.

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

This is the really big news here imo, its not just the sora app thats gone but chatgpt wont be doing videos either. This is a massive hit to openAI. Hopefully this hit causes internal bleeding that kills them as painfully as possible.

Last night, the Scottish Parliament approved a Scottish Statutory Instrument (SSI) to add ‘sex’ as a protected characteristic to Scottish hate crime law. Sounds like a pretty good thing right? We strongly support all steps taken to address the violence and misogyny that women face.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator.

In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search.

I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work.

Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. 

If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

I'm just going to say it: If you're enticed by playing this game because it's free now, you've got bigger questions to raise (to yourself) about why you still quietly enjoy Harry Potter whilst its creator does everything in her power to remove rights from trans people with her profits.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
