When I lived in France we had a sweet old neighbor lady who would spit every time she passed a certain house. Eventually, her daughter explained to me that the home belonged to a man who’d collaborated with the Nazis 60 YEARS AGO. May these ICE goons face a similarly lonely future.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

The time that made me an artist came from the sports I didn't play. From long summers with no library access when my friends were on vacation. From lunchtimes alone. That's a lot of us- we built something out of time and need.
"I want it now" won't get you there.

This. Learning a skill, an art form, is not "free" time like you're on a yacht somewhere sunning yourself. It's dedicated, it's carved out, it's shaped by all the other things you experience and distilled into expression. It's fuckups and frustrations. It's time you shape into something else.
AI can't make you an artist. Only time can do that. And I hear AI users talking about hundreds of hours, but no. That's not TIME. Not the kind I'm talking about.
It takes years. Which is where people are like "years of free time is a privilege". Sure.
Except the time wasn't free, it was taken.

The idea of “gatekeeping art” is the reason people turn to AI because of it is funny to me as an artist from a working class family. Like…I learned to draw and my mom was a waitress
I don’t like people trying to hide behind the idea working/poor folks can’t draw, because we create and always have
