anyone who invokes anti- or post-humanism (both things I'm totally fine with) but who focuses their love and defense of the non-human on, for instance, the machine that gives you imperfect answers in a perfectly obeisant tone, and not the non-human things devastated by that machine, can fuck off.

truly hilarious that this is an attempted attack on ai critics. yeah being mean to chatgpt is eugenics. saying sam altman shouldn't be able to steal the entirety of human creative output for profit is genocide. words don't fucking mean anything

if you’re writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go “oh that’s fine to say because it’s not a real person” (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

It's time for a new pinned post with some of my recent work.
Hi! I'm Anya! I draw fantasy illustrations like these. I am open for work and also accept private commissions.

📩: [email protected]
prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/anya...
portfolio: anyachalina.myportfolio.com

"Nuptial Rites". The illustration shows a wedding ceremony. There's a woman in the left side of the image. She wear a headpiece decorated with flowers and holds a large egg in her arms. There are stairs leading to an elevated stage with musicians playing lute on both sides of the stage. There's a skeleton in a festive clothes riding a white horse in the center of the image. There are festive robes behind them. The room is decorated with tiles and there are two roosters in front of the stage. There are some poppy flowers in the foreground. The artwork is colorful with much red, blue and beige.

"Angel's Whisper". The image shows a room decorated with tiles and murals with a pool in the foreground. There's a queen sitting in on the throne in the center of the image. There's an angel standing next to her closely. There are two white peacocks in the room and two swans swimming in the pool. The artwork is mostly grey-blue.

"The Dressing Room". The illustration shows a woman with long black hair sitting in front of the mirror. There are people behind her holding and brushing her hair. There are flowers around the woman and behind the wall in the middle ground. There's a statue of a man on the right and some flowers and herons near it. There are broken plates and vases in the foreground. There are eggs in some plates. In the background there are buildings that connect to each other. The artwork is mostly pastel with pinks, blues, turquoise and purples.

"Sojourn". This artwork is inspired by "Picnic at Hanging Rock". The artwork shows a ruin with young women sitting and standing around it. There are two teachers among them. They are skeletons. One is holding a chihuahua and another one is reading a book. The young women participate in different activities such as reading books, drawing, sharing secrets with each other, playing flute and admiring the surroundings. There are two dogs in the foreground and a bird that one of the characters is drawing. There are trees in the background and some rock formations. Two young women are walking towards the rocks. The artwork is mostly green and brown with some white and light blue accents.

WIP ☀️

A fragment of a piece I work on. The image shows a scenery with overlapping buildings and circular windows. The buildings are decorated with tiles and mosaics. There’s a person standing in front of the closest building.

it’s time to pay October rent and i’m at $120 of the $1400 needed to pay the €1180 rent (all utilities included).
i was approved for health insurance but had to contest their rate offer and i’m currently waiting on their approval for a lower monthly payment.

tbh i’m kinda stuck while this + 1/

#ProtectJhordin and #FreeLink @permanentalien.blacksky.app · Jun 25

meeting this goal is paying my rent from now to November. which means investing the little i make from work towards my small business and focusing on getting set up with health insurance because i’m a trans disabled person who needs ONGOING MEDICAL CARE and GENDER AFFIRMING CARE

Instead, I got a Title IX complaint for my criticism of their functionaries. Because this is stalking, according to said functionaries:

Next up, Trump's EEOC filing Title IX complaints against anyone committing acts of intersectional feminism, a violent ideology that targets men and white people for discrimination (says Rufo).

CSU Los Angeles already handed over faculty names demanded by Trump's EEOC. CFA should have listened when I asked them in 2018 to adopt an official policy and common strategy against fascism together with the CSU.

As a disabled and legally blind artist with tendon issues in my painting hand I can tell you that anyone pretending being anti-ai is "ableist" should be treated as a reactionary snake cynically using ableism to excuse their souless slop. Fuck these people, they are not our allies.

Ah yes, more ableism from the #noAl crowd.

They're all such nice book burners. Remember kids, the only time anyone is ever going to be offended when you tell them to pick up a pencil... is when they can't

My bio showing I'm a legally blind artist aka one of the people these dipshits pretend their consent destroying theft machines are "helping"

Okay, but substantively, they weren't wrong.
The sorry state of discussion around Al by
"traditionalists" on this app is repulsive. The ongoing transphobia, racism, classism, and dismissive gatekeeping is flatly anti-human.
Has been since the beginning. I'm glad people are starting to call it out

this poster mentioned in their 50 post tantrum that they literally work in ML research, and between this and the Google engineer who went to the press to tell them that their Al was alive, I am
becoming concerned that these companies are not sending their best
