"Personality, knowledge, and emotion are the three things that need to exist [in art] — and I'm sorry, they don't come from a fucking app." Del Toro sums it up 🫡

here's my blog post about how people who use generative ai are deeply estranged from themselves and reality itself, their souls drifting rudderless in open water, asphyxiating

“The value of art is not how much it costs and how little effort it requires. It’s how much would you risk to be in its presence.”

I think I finally figured out what I hate so much about calling all creative work "content" - it's that it reduces everything to real estate for advertising

On genAI and art: "A machine can ostensibly produce the same results as a basketball player, throw a ball in the hoop and score points against other machines. But [...p]eople don't watch sports for the concept of throwing balls in hoops, people watch sports for human spectacle and physical ability."

Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many

I think, if you never sat down to learn the skills of a particular art, that art seems mysterious to you and it's easier to think that someone with those skills must just have "talent" cause you can't imagine yourself being able to do those things. Like, a long time ago on an online writing workshop

Why should I care enough to read or behold something no one cared enough to actually make?

companies programmed us to refer to art, music, video, and writing as "content" to make it seem like it comes from the website and not from a person who had to think of it and make it
