Been trying desperately to have conversations with people I have known for years about how their anger & fear is being exploited, trying to keep them from fully going over the cliff.

The realization of how many people I went to church/school with falling so easily into fascism has been chilling.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
