Shaking out stuff in my social media accounts. This account is getting swapped to being just my personal account with the new handle BrianWithTheBeard. The @mechamanzx.bsky.social handle has been given to a new account where just my streaming stuff will go. Besides, the mech needs his own account.

@cataluna.bsky.social : When I was a kid I loved King Ghidorah because he’s an awesome golden space hydra.

I wanna join in on toolbagging these corpos who think you need AI for concept sketches. Behold my chicken scratch vs the glory that @stockfootagemecha.bsky.social turned that into. Hell my sketch is so much better than what Rian Johnson did for the Knives Out story board. Just make a damn attempt!

I had a realization that even in the depths of the worst mental health weeks of my 43 years on earth, talking with a person about @70000tons.bsky.social makes me light up and just talk openly and happily with feeling drained. Thanks for being that bright spot, United Nations of Metal! BOAT SOON!

I’m probably dumb and already know someone with them, but is there anyone making decals/stickers of Toho or Tsuburaya kaiju? Google is now just awash in clearly AI garbage products and I’d love to decorate my laptop with my favorite monsters while also supporting a real small artist.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Happy birthday to my GOAT! He has been voicing Char Aznable since he was the tender age of 29...
Shoutout to when someone asked him if he understood Char and he basically said "No, the best I can do is assume that Char is somehow Tomino" lol

How funny is it that every reason we still need humans in the mix with our “powerful new AI tools” is that they sick to use, don’t ever function right, and require constant correction.
Oh joy, another helpful AI infographic via LinkedIn. Off I go to my job as a liberaian, maybe to run some critical evaligane workshops and of course use New! Boulean! Logic!

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.
