i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Nice to hear a leader valuing human art and artists instead of asking AI to make a video where he literally shits on us from a jet. I don’t mean to be controversial but I think this is better.

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

This headline is going around and the thing that is really bothering me is that buying a single item and then using it and NOT collecting more items is literally the opposite of hoarding.
CNBC headline: How device hoarding by Americans is costing economy - Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and ...

No mais, sou capista que não usa IA em nenhum dos meus processos e tomo vários cuidados para não trabalhar com imagens geradas por IA, compro materiais feitos por pessoas de verdade, e deixo isso bem claro para todos os meus clientes, desde o orçamento até no contrato. 👍

this is why, as much as I fucking despise AI, I'm not really too worried about it lasting forever

it's floated entirely on venture capital investments made for manufactured demand. Delete/restrict access to datasets/trained data full of illegal material, and monitor massive energy usage. easy

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

TIL, unsplash and istock images forbid any and all AI on their sites as well as letting AI train on them, ahhhh

sometimes it's nice to just scroll those sites and revel in not fucking worrying about getting duped

November Patreon Reward 1 of 3

Theme: Mexican Gothic

My patrons voted on this theme for the month, so I've been listening to the book of the same name by @silviamg.bsky.social while drawing. I'm about 1/4 of the way through and it's starting to get spooky!

We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

Se dinheiro não fosse uma questão eu ficaria na universidade pra sempre sem problemas, zerar todos os cursos e algumas pós. Eu ser ilustrador é só uma consequência de eu gostar de estudar ilustração. Estudar gostoso demais

This supposed traditional artist and musician followed me. Despite having an explicit "fuck ai" in his bio, something about him set off my bullshit detector.

So, I checked out his Bandcamp. Over 70 albums and EPs, all done since March of this year.

Come on, man, at least be subtle about it.

here's the thing: you can coexist with wildlife without them loving you. that's part of the deal. when I'm at home and I see a coyote I back away slowly until it leaves. that's respect on both our parts. that's how it works. you HAVE to be comfortable with the idea of coexististance vs friendship

I need to scan this in properly, but I’m real pleased with this little watercolor study I did today 👉👈 I got Nita Engels’ book “How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself” and it’s been really helpful in figuring out some landscape techniques ☺️

What do I even say here? I grew up on games from the 90s, their cover illustrations are part of my DNA. The honor of recreating the classic DOOM cover for @modiphius.bsky.social's DOOM Arena Board Game is undescribable.

100%. I remember vividly right after An Inconvenient Truth there were fake docs with fake studies trying to deny climate change, in vain. Then almost immediately this huge neoliberal wave of anti-intelectualism and science contrarianism started and is being weaponized ever since

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:
And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide. And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide", ", and they're getting everyone else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Boys, stop playing with AI and try taking care of your physical health and becoming a better person.

Ignore what the machismo branded personalities tell you. You are worthy of love, and you'll find it if you put in the effort on yourself.
