If you feel like reading something on the jazzbox, here's a rant I wrote about serial killers in South Africa and how AI even enshittifies that. roxanelapa.substack.com/p/theres-abs...

There’s absolutely nothing that AI doesn’t fuck up.

Personal rant regarding serial killers in South Africa, and AI doing what it does best - enshittify.

Just saw this in my YT feed. MF's only got 2 words on his thumbnail and still managed to spell one of them wrong, yet has the gall to insinuate other people are dumb for believing @edzitron.com about the AI scam bubble.

Just want to add: someone on my YouTube channel confirmed that the Photoshop brushes work in Affinity.

Roxane Lapa @roxanelapa.com · 30/04/2026

I have an old version of Affinity, but wasn't that pleased about Canva buying them because of their love of AI. Do you find Affinity Paint good for painting? The old version I have had a bit of a primitive brush engine, but maybe it's better now?

I interviewed the founder of Haven, an anti-ai social platform in the pipelines, which disincentivizes ai slop, and also poisons ai models that attempt to scrape data from it (like Nightshade). I grilled him on funding, algorithms, moderation, etc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Sq... #noai #nightshade

I feel like it's been so long since I just painted something that wasn't for a client, so spent the evening playing with Rebelle oil paint and some custom brushes to make some gratuitous nonsense. I call this piece "Satan's Faeries". :) #faebruary #februar2026 #rebelle

No I don't want a pin, and I can't believe you guys still went and put up an AI version when the vote was overwhelmingly against AI. Stop fence sitting and remove that slop. #noai

DuckDuckGo (the search engine I use) has a poll right now to vote yes or no on AI, and the results so far are going pretty much as expected 😂 Poll: voteyesornoai.com/vote #noai

Excellent article as always from Jared White. I love his analogy of AI with Sylar from Heroes, where his great power was cannibalizing other hero's powers. buttondown.com/theinternet/...

Down with the Gatekeepers! Who…are Artists, Apparently

Of all the arguments put forth by the hype-bros for Generative AI, this one is perhaps the most perplexing. And it deserves serious scrutiny. By Jared White

Karla said it so well. I (Ben) was thrilled to testify on the technical side, demonstrating with algorithms, real code and benchmarks on why data privacy is possible at scale. Sharing that room with Danny Lin, Jason George, and so so many talented and skilled creatives was a genuine honor.

If you're on Upwork, and want to opt out of their AI training, I found the setting by going to Account Settings > Profile Settings and then scroll down to "AI Preference". #noai
