A small collection of this month's sketchbook art ✍🏻

A painting of various organic forms in cool colors, primarily blues, on a tan background.

A painting of a snouted “creature" made of blue cords on a tan background. A light blue orb rests where the creature’s eye should be.

Fuck this shit. We don't have an AI scanning the stupid car before we get in it.

Stupid article about how Hertz is using a big AI flashlight to charge you for hallucinated dents.

One time someone said "AI simps stealing from artists when an artist calls them uncreative thieves is like someone shitting their pants to prove they don't smell bad."

I think about it all the time.

Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing. The media is complicit in accepting fantastical nonsense - both in the numbers put out by OpenAI and the silly jobs created by Anthropic - and it has to stop.

Reality Check

I'm sick and god-damn tired of this! I have written tens of thousands of words about this and still, to this day, people are babbling about the "AI revolution" as the sky rains blood and crevices open...

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Another one of these maybe AI isn’t catastrophically bad guys out here. Hey the machine that steals your data and confidently lies to you while destroying the environment is just bad. Stop trying to justify it.

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

I realised I still have hope for the future? Like the internet was always a thing when I was a kid but I didn't spend all of my time on it and still pursued creative traditional mediums.

Maybe not all future kids will grow up with AI, social media rot.

Maybe people will want to feel alive still.

Flow was made entirely with Blender and rendered in real time with EEVEE. We didn't use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
