Back in 2023 when I did a 45 minute rant on YT saying AI would steal your job, I was accused of 'fear mongering'. I would rather have been wrong, but…
"AI has been cited for 48,414 job cuts this year."
Wake up people. Reject AI now.

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

I recently did a Rebelle 8 review which has been well received, so thought I'd follow it up with a tutorial on getting started with Rebelle. Suitable for absolute beginners. youtu.be/qBpXDQknuQM

How artists behind Marvel, Alien, and the Matrix movies are fighting AI
With solidarity, legislation, class action lawsuits, and a little help from Guillermo del Toro. Plus, the Luddite Renaissance continues, and I open the mailbag.

It's the 21st #InternationalArtistDay and would have been Picasso's birthday too.

Be kind to your artist friends and family today, and share one of their posts :)

When there's no electricity all day due to "planned maintenance", that's when you can really have a guilt-free siesta. Cat approves.

Day 1 Inktober = Mustache
Obviously had to draw the best mustache, which is Magnum PI (Tom Selleck).

Some traditional art for a change. I attempted to copy a previous digitally inked piece of mine with pen brushes.
Here's the timelapse:

The 3rd installment of "AI killed my Job".
This one is about illustrators and designers, and I give my 10 cents in there too.

Thanks also to Susan Oakes, who shared her images as an example of what was being lost, and @roxanelapa.com, who did the same, with here excellent AI protest art.

I don't see this as a win at all. A win would be not settling for pittance, going to trial, ending anthropic and setting a precedent for other lawsuits against AI theft.

AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.
