Hey guys I know I've been AWOL but life has been *hard* and I'm just doing my best to keep chuggin' along. I made a blog post about keeping it all in perspective, a thing I struggle with sometimes. Also here's proof of life (one per cat) mhmiller.bearblog.dev/thinking-of-...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Life lately 💙 I've been: - getting back into baking & going outside when I can - meal prepping safe foods that don't fuck with my insides - allowing myself an occasional silly purchase as a treat - working on my personal projects when I have the energy

This "making sure the technology is built with artists in mind" excuse is so stupid. Artists using this technology just improves its ability to copy their processes, it's guaranteeing your own obsolescence. In creative industries, artists ARE the means of production, don't let them seize you.

Oh hey, I deleted this and Insta off my phone. I'll still check stuff on my laptop early 2000s style, but I'm tired of staring at my phone. Monitoring social media. My limited time is precious, and I'm tired of spending it watching how other people are spending theirs instead doing things with mine.

this fucking sucks ( from the creator of the cupcake character, lorynbrantz instagram - www.instagram.com/p/DY2v_qXIoQt )

Lorynbrantz on instagram shares a post about their cupcake character being stolen for these new amazon ai shows. Reads as follows

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.

Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.

This is an assault on artists everywhere.

I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.

i also met @austinmwav.com who did the music & sfx for the game and i genuinely think that their audio work is what pushed that game the extra mile. when i first heard the track they made for my game i just sat in my room and looped it over and over, giddy and overwhelmed

Austin and I were talking about how Krusteaz box mix doesn’t miss and I said I was forcing myself to pick off little pieces of my brownie and eat it slowly because I have to Remy my inner Emile and it’s moments like this I confirm that Ratatouille is, in fact, my favorite film

Having medication for adhd is so cool until the fuckery that is getting it refilled during a shortage turns into you spending 2 hours of your day laying face down on the floor listening to one album on repeat while you disassociate from the stress and uncertainty

Every time someone posts about being disappointed that a game or app has AI code in it there are comments to the effect of “yea that’s unfortunate but everything will at this point” and like No? It won’t if people actually push back? The fuck is with all the advanced compliance lmao
