I did the pixel art animations for this, gave them to THE MICHAEL TRIUMVIRATE, they worked their sinister magics and behold! An actual music video! Just like they had in 1995! TBH, I’m still a bit bewildered that I was allowed anywhere near this, but I’m delighted with how it all came out.

i often think about this review
Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

Just read the tpb of “Do A Powerbomb” by @danielwarrenart.bsky.social, @spicercolor.bsky.social and @ruswooton.bsky.social. Absolutely incredible stuff. Surprisingly touching, action-packed and laugh-out-loud funny. Cant recommend it highly enough, honestly do yourself a giant favour and get it.

My Papa had a farm in a small village in the #scottishborders where we spent every summer visiting when we were young. I always remember him in what was essentially his “work uniform” of wellies, dungarees, shirt & tie and battered old blazer, topped off with his trademark bunnet.

Pixel art of a Scottish farmer wearing wellington boots, overalls, jacket and flat cap. He is carrying a shepherds crook he made himself and is accompanied by his border collie sheepdog.

Kids in 5 years shouting 'I'm sunsetting this interaction because you're at the intersection of wrong and stupid — no longer aligning with my strategic priorities' because they've used AI to reword 'fuck off'.

At this point I think it’s become an obligation. There’s no way I can keep this up. The output I mean, obviously I can keep up the stupidity.

Another day, another drawing of Dexter. Miss you pal.
A black and white drawing of a damp and muddy border collie called Dexter on a light grey background. He was the best dog ever.

Got to spend some time last night with the best dug I’ve ever known. He’s old, tired & very ill and it’s quite likely to be the last time I have in his company. I took him an obnoxious duck toy and some treats, gave him many pats and reassured him that he is and always will be the king of dugs. 💔
A drawing of the greatest dog of all time. His name is Dexter and he is a border collie.

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
