Exquisite work from Dan here, #auspol.

Silicon Valley be all like "You didn't want to buy our monkey jpgs and conduct meetings with VR headsets, I guess we have no choice but to start WW3"

Just a reminder…

👇👇

lol, silicon valley created a suite of fancy electronic tools that have allowed the wealthiest and least intellectually qualified people on the planet to bend the systems of the world to their will, which seems like a good reason not to listen to a damn thing any of them have to say about the world😂

People often ask me why I’m outspoken about trans rights. I’m not trans so “why do you care?”

I care because what the government is doing to trans people is wrong. I care because we are being conditioned to accept atrocities. 🧵

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

I’m concerned about the kids. What world is this that they are growing up in.

“Nuh uh! It was a Roman salute! I heard on Facebook.”

Really depressing that Etsy is now nothing but Temu/Ali Express markups and AI slop being passed off as being done by 'real artists'...

There isn’t any AI art. AI can’t make it. A machine has no thought or feeling to share. There is no emotional or intellectual distance to bridge because nothing exists on the other side of the visual.

An AI image is the hole where someone has abdicated their imagination.

Please note, not AI. Never AI. We don't use the term 'AI art' in the county because a thing hollow of lived-experience is not ever going to fit a definition of art.
