Huge thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read my #blog, Truth Decay. I’ve never made as much progress refining my craft as I did this year. Both in writing and in my art. Here’s some of my favourite pieces so far. (Quality may vary, some of these are older than others)

AI propaganda no longer needs to look real. It only needs to emotionally validate people’s preexisting beliefs. That may make it more powerful than traditional propaganda… truth-decay.com/2026/05/22/t...

Those in power decide what we think, what we want, and what we need, all the while convincing us that our choices are our own.

Pornography is pretty controversial overall, but that’s nothing compared to the incredibly harmful and disgusting sort of pornography that generative AI has given rise to. Imagine rejecting some guy just to have him generate nude images from your instagram profile. Stay safe out there y’all.

Although plagiarism is nothing new, AI allows perpetrators to better conceal their use of it.

If you’re “anti-ai” but you spend more time criticising the people speaking up against AI than you spend criticising the people who advocate for it, you don’t understand the point of activism.

Here’s some of my recent works from my illustrated #Blog, Truth Decay. I use #Procreate on my IPad Air to bring these to life. Which one is your favourite? www.truth-decay.com
A robot sits in a field of rolling hills of tree stumps and plants a young sapling in the ground.A clown rides a unicycle while juggling balls marked with AI tech companies. Money is falling out of his pocket and trailing the floor behind him.An old man sits at a desk and draws on a piece of paper, all the while numerous robots peer over his shoulder at his creative process.A man stands stretched out like the Vitruvian man, but the circle around him is real and tactile. He is chained to the metal ring.

Wikipedia is the library with floor-to ceiling bookshelves full of encyclopaedias and swarms of editors, rushing from shelf to shelf, making corrections. AI is the arrogant jackass working in the cubicle across from you who thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything.

Virginia Giuffre’s story is a tragic one, but it is one of many. So often in these headlines about sexual abuse involving politicians or celebrities, the spotlight is on the abuser. It turns into a debate about of the character of a monster. The victim is rarely even part of the conversation.
