Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

This is the best thread on Henry "Box" Brown that I have seen on here. I was just reading a poem dedicated to him by poet Alison C. Rollins in her book "Black Bell".
Brown used the Adams Express Company (now Adams Funds) and paid the equivalent of $86 ($3,250 today) to mail himself to freedom.

The severity of the trauma triggering happening by being displaced into a tiny space at the same time of year the house burned down is intense and disruptive.

Look, full offense, but claiming that you can't find a disabled adult character sexually attractive *solely* because you view them as a child, that is ableism.
You can be attracted or unattracted to whoever you want, but viewing disabled adults as children when we're not? Is ableist.

Can't believe my most popular recent tweet is explaining to a pro-censorship person that cannibalism is a real thing but legally you can't consent to being eaten (they tried to claim erotic cannibalism was fine in fiction because it "can't happen", but other stuff is baaad).
