Oof.

Would this have been better as solo presentations of each artist’s work? Maybe. But Invader’s work is built for the street, not the gallery, that’s where it’s meant to be, where it works best. And Fairey’s work is built for the bin. Getting up close and personal with it just rams home how ugly, one-dimensional, faux-political and stupid it is.

Matt mullenweg seems to be doing a lowtax speedrun as well, but is focusing his breakdown largely on wordpress, so Tumblr might be safe, who knows

just make it exist first
you can make it crab later

a comic in two parts.
part one. text says, just make it exist first. image is a drawing of a circle.
part two. text says, you can make it crab later, but the word crab is scribbled as if it replaced something. image is a drawing of a crab.

footer says: by joabaldwin, based on the comic by growthbyvisuals, then carcinized by franzanth.

Not to mention the cost of hosting that kind of infrastructure. "The protocol" has to run on something, and the billionaire investors aren't handing out servers to marginalised folks. There are legitimate efforts in BlackSky and NorthSky but they're both run off donations/grants and can't scale easy

Tim dillon got dropped after making a joke about slaves on his podcast, and Jim Jefferies seems to have been dropped after mentioning them killing a journalist on theo von's podcast defending his involvement.

interesting that the ones who edgily tried to shrug off the criticisms by mentioning the things they're being paid to overlook are now conspicuously missing from the lineup.

because stuff always works like this when you're a one-man band, obviously it's only now that Alien:Earth is finished I'm finally getting chance to remake the moulds for our Xeno:Morph kit. He's back in the shop as a pre-order, anyway!

model of Morph from Take Hart only he's got an elongated phallic head, dorsal tubes and spiked tail like Giger's Big Chap from Alien.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

But a still graver scandal of AI— like its hydra-head sibling, cryptocurrency-is the technology's colossal wastefulness. The untold billions firehosed by investors into its development; the water-guzzling data centers draining the parched exurbs of Phoenix and Dallas; the yeti-size carbon footprint of the sector as a whole—and for what? A cankerous glut of racist memes and cardboard essays.
Not only is the ratio of Al's resource rapacity to its productive utility indefensibly and irremediably skewed, Al-made material is itself a waste product: flimsy, shoddy, disposable, a single-use plastic of the mind.

I'm in absolute NDA hell, so have the same 3 paintings I always post :')

A painting set in a autumnal forrest, a robed figure with a walking stick is standing in front of old ruins waiting for the ghost of the shrine to approach. Elder Scrolls Fanart

A scene from the first Earthsea novel when Ged tries to resurrect the lady Elfarran but accidentally unleashes a shadow.

My character Yari, half kneeling on the ground, channeling her fire magic into her raised fist. The backdrop is a waterfall of lava.

Wuthering Heights fanart of Catherine Earnshaw in white flowy clothes and a veil, hovering in the air over her grave.

ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.?
