Bunch of new followers recently, so here’s a quick rundown of stuff I work on:
I WROTE A BOOK. It’s about isolation and madness and our desperate need for human connection. You can buy it. I also read the audiobook and venture to say I do it very well torpublishinggroup.com/your-shadow-...

Like, the very first rule of doing anything at all creative is *you have to give a fuck about it*
Using genAI is proof you don't.

Using genAI alienates you from everyone else. It doesn't democratize art, it atomizes it.
No genAI user is gonna get an outpouring of sincere support from others because even they themselves don't give a fuck about what they're making.

I regret to inform you there is more Olivia Newzzi: the print VF will feature a nude portrait by artist Isabelle Brourman that is also destined for Art Basel Miami Beach. Notably, its inclusion appears be a surprise to VF staff. VF looking worse and worse here. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

A workforce trained to normalize generative AI is a workforce that *will not be able to understand* people talking about creativity and pride in gaining skills and the value of their labor. It'll be alien to them.

Every single actual creative person has experienced the experience of finding effortless what was once effortful.
A generative AI user is completely alienated from this experience, it's alien and unfamiliar to feel pride in the outcome. Or, even to actually give a fuck about it at all.

One of the purposes of this is, obviously, to completely alienate people from their intellectual and creative labor. When "write an article" becomes "push the big red GIMME SLOP button" you're gonna have less pride and investment in the outcome.

There's a part of learning, which generative AI completely turns into dogshit, which is *doing something you could not have done before*
Whether it's drawing, playing an instrument, solving a physics problem, organizing an essay, you find yourself doing easily what previously you found overwhelming

I’m sure dry brined is good, I’m sure spatchcocked is good, my hot take is that there are probably multiple ways to make a decent thanksgiving turkey if you don’t overcomplicate things and you know what you’re fucking doing

Turkey Discourse appears to have begun so what I’ll say is that I roast it whole and intact with the cavity stuffed with apple, lemon, onion, and herbs, and a blend of butter and chopped herbs rubbed over and under the skin, and for almost a decade now it’s been good every year
