Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Happy birthday to my GOAT! He has been voicing Char Aznable since he was the tender age of 29...

Shoutout to when someone asked him if he understood Char and he basically said "No, the best I can do is assume that Char is somehow Tomino" lol

How funny is it that every reason we still need humans in the mix with our “powerful new AI tools” is that they sick to use, don’t ever function right, and require constant correction.
Oh joy, another helpful AI infographic via LinkedIn. Off I go to my job as a liberaian, maybe to run some critical evaligane workshops and of course use New! Boulean! Logic!

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Did a little study of this rat armor with my friends last night. Probably would’ve rendered it more and cleaned it up but didn’t want to get too carried away with what’s supposed to be fast and fun. 🐀

Cleaning up some overdue scans, when @cainslove.bsky.social pops in and points out the Zakrello's back view looks like a smiley face, and now I need to spread this miserable info.
