SUPER excited for this, after a year of chasing the angle, 30 minutes of waddling around up and down a parking garage, and over 6 hours of editing: A murder of crows flies towards the camera, in front of the full Moon, set to Blind Guardian's "Nightfall" and the sound of the crows themselves. 🪶 🐦‍⬛

What is happening is not that AI-generated cultural goods are replacing human-made cultural goods; what is happening is that capital is flowing out of the production of cultural goods *entirely,* making us all poorer for it.

imagine being a grownup adult who still thinks "the last ringbearer" is "very clever". embarassing, honestly.

"Being in a colonizing discipline first demands and then encourages an attitude that might be called intellectual hubris." Turkle, Sherry (1984). The second self: Computers and the human spirit

"Being in a colonizing discipline first demands and then encourages an attitude that might be called intellectual hubris. Furthermore, since you cannot master all the disciplines that you have designs on, you need confidence that your knowledge makes the ‘traditional wisdom’ of these fields unworthy of serious consideration." —
Sherry Turkle (1984, p. 230)

So @kjcharleswriter.com says when you work in a googly eye factory, you become somewhat immune to thinking that sticking googly eyes on an object makes it alive. It applies to “can AI think?” but maybe also all us creative types who watched them loot our stuff by slapping their googly eyes on it.

Describing the intention of something that doesn’t exist dos not summon it into being and instill it with that intention outside of the boundaries of the story. AI is not breaking out of boundaries. It is not a being. You’ve just all forgotten what the fuck reading feels like.

Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

friend asked if percentile symbol is facing the opposite direction on purpose and my ambidextrous ass was like "it's suposed to be facing some specific direction?

I sketched @alexanderward.bsky.social based on a story he shared on ig last month when I was tabling at artist alley, and now when i finally had some time, I decided to add some watercolour to it #artsky #traditionalart

vertical monochrome watercolour sketch of Alex Ward, tall (alleged) human standing facing the viewer, with head turned slighty to the right. he's wearing all black clotches: trousers, open coat, and shirt with two wide belts with silver buckles. background is just random light splashes of grey

There is no good use of generative AI because the technology was built on theft of creative labor. If that position surprises you from an artist whose life's work was scraped and used without permission to train trillion dollar technology, educate yourself. www.michaelwhelan.com/faq/#digital...

this! I did illustrations for few non profit anthologies in last few years, and despite each of them having artworks and artists listed in table of content, and one releasing separate file only with art, only a small handful of reviewers mentioned artists at all.

don't save on watercolour paper. even in student grade materials, your paper should be the most expensive part. cotton, at least 150gm, tho I personaly wouldn't go under 200. bad paper will only frustrate you.

I’m glad that there’s been more coverage of this, but I must also point out that we - the actual Lebanese - have been saying that Israel’s goal is to make south Lebanon unliveable for nearly 2 years. I said this myself multiple times. We are simply not believed *because* we are Lebanese.

Climate change is accelerating beyond all but the most dire predictions but also so many stories about ecology restoration also feature systems bouncing back faster and more thoroughly than scientists anticipated, people can fix (the worst of) this but we need to overthrow the capitalist economy
